In the Expanse books, there’s a planet called Auberon that has an 8 hour rotation, so 4 hours of light and 4 hours of dark. They decided that “1 day” would be light-dark-light and “1 night” is dark-light-dark. It’s really interesting how they describe the way society adapts to the cycle of having a midnight sun and both a midmorning and evening sunset.

I thought i had a good system where each outpost was only exporting 1 solid, 1 liquid, and 1 gas. This allowed me to isolate and sort at the receiving outpost.

The problem occurs when each outposts import & export containers get full. At which point materials flow from the export station, go to the import location where they can’t be unloaded, THEN THEY COME BACK to the original outpost where they get offloaded. You wind up with all the same materials filling both the import and export containers. Now the entire material flow is completely borked, nothing is getting imported, and all you have access to is the stuff thats locally produced.

If you look at the ground map when you land on a “coast” biome, you can see where all the elevation dots go flat. That will help direct you to the ocean if you can’t see it over the hills/fog.

I have a bunch of Akila City security guards that wander around in their underwear in my game. I just assumed it was casual Friday.

Oof. Clearly I hadn’t tried it.

Even with that trick, going from 1000 down to 1 is still painful. Probably faster to give them all 1000, then switch and take 999 back.

I assumed that the pace of updates would slow once off TestFlight. Happy to be wrong! I didn’t even know you could get updates through review this quickly!

Harry -> Xander. Is there a story or tribute there?

One more very minor, very fringe edge case: two spoilers in a row are collapsing into one. See example at the top of this thread. This was working before the multi-line fix.

EDIT: Fixed it. After deleting the app from the phone, and choosing the option to remove all data, a fresh install allowed me to go through the real Pro subscription process.

Original message below: I’m having trouble subscribing to Pro. I did the fake lifetime subscription in TestFlight a few days ago, and it still says i’m subscribed in the app store version. In TestFlight, it now shows the option to install bean, so I’m pretty sure the version on my phone is the official release. I want to give you real money!

Wow, that was fast! I was about to write something like “you could at least have the decency of taking my money before providing such stellar service,” but didn’t want to bury my sincerity in a stupid joke. So thank you, sincerely, for squashing that so quickly.

A very low priority additional observation, spoilers with line breaks don’t convert to your fancy collapsing box. Example:

Interesting. That renders correctly, but now the issue is twirling open the spoiler also collapses the comment. Fun times with software development!

There will be an option to pay for additional features. But the core app will still be free.

Lemmy is unproven, but i think apps like Bean will go a long way towards making it viable long-term. I’m willing to take that gamble to help support the platform. Thats how I’m thinking about the pricing.

Yes, the subscription supports the app developer, but its also an investment in something I desperately want to succeed at the platform level.

Will be picking up that lifetime unlock just to keep my precious Tutti Frutti icon. 🤣

Congrats on the impending launch! I’m hoping you plan on a tip jar option as well, 'cause if you keep up this level of development, i’m going to feel guilty about the generous discount in a year.
