AprilPvd in VR:

No Man’s Sky

Palworld 1.0

Friday

Challenges about this dedicated server that I am sharing with my two guild is that while I’m on one you know one character on a guild the other characters guild is in jeopardy sometimes because of raids some of my bases never get right but the one I have with Grand Nagus that’s out in by the water gets raided constantly. My idea that I came up with was to put out a one of those gunners there’s one of the things you can buy with tech that puts a gunner that someone who has handiwork can mount and protect, and I looked at the technology April Pvd has has it available and she’s got over 100 technology points so I went ahead and built one. The only thing was that it has the electricity symbol on it which this base did not have electricity so I had to build an electrical unit and I had to put a electric generating person out there and I did and I think it helped but yeah it took a lot. It took some Matt and it took some running around and then I got the idea well since I’m putting it here I might as well put it on a base on the other guild and now of course it’s one of those technology things that are not that Aprillian is not high enough to do plus you know I am trying to share the technology point so I sent her over to their guild and she put one on one of their bases but I ended up when I actually had the had a raid come on that base. It was interesting because they came from a different angle and I don’t think they gunner did anything to help so I did put walls up at that base put some defenses up on that bay so I kind of wall it off and I did leave a gap to where the gunner is. It should be interesting to see how that works, but I love, figuring out all the little intricacies of these particular of power world, and I love going back-and-forth and being able to share my technology because at the same time the April on the Mac had learned the extra holster technology and so she made one for April Pvd that so that she doesn’t use up her technology points. It was interesting.

Epril and AprilPvd

Saturday

So many different things I did today, but the big thing was that I went into take down the next tower and I came really close, especially at the last one when I created a Gatlin gun. I had April on the Mac in there and Aprillian on my gaming laptop. April Pvd was in VR. In the middle of all that I was doing a lot of breeding.

I’m happy to say I figured out a lot of things with the pal souls cause I’ve been collecting them and and I haven’t really understood a lot about them. You know you go to those statues but while I was preparing for this next boss, I took all my Jourmintide over to the statue and I enhanced as much as I could on the the health and the attack and the defense. .

Sunday

I played over six hours and I did so many things one of the things I’m trying to do is just give you the highlights because I don’t think you wanna know everything I do in power world there’s so much to do but you know I have been trying to beat the genetic tower and the main music for that cause I want that incubator and I went in with my two characters so I have to get April on the Mac to run down to the tower and then get a brilliant who is on the gaming laptop down there as well and like I said before it’s really easy to do because you just have to press press the button once and then once April Pvd VR is there and she presses the button we go well she presses once and then she passes it again for the start of the match and what she does that we go right in now I think the last time I tried I think I accidentally recalled my my pet. My German tied the big water ball bird now I’m using the Gatling gun and and I go over while the first thing I do and I think I mentioned this is release the power on Aprillian because she is to the left of my VR area and then I start a fight. I release my bird and my German tide. It’s a dragon. It’s not a bird and actually can’t even fly. I found that out yesterday when I was running around and I realize that it could go on the water and I can fish with it but when I was trying to fly, I needed my Nightwing back at one point I think maybe after I had done this game this match I had filled my whole lineup with the German tide and I had left my Nightwing behind but yeah well it’s easy. I just gotta find a flight and go back but anyways, I got in mine and Got went to work with my Gatlin gun and once I’m doing enough damage with the rwo you Jourmontides.

Again, if you are looking at the video at youtube.com/Ctr AltWoW you’ll see April Pvd just running around like crazy and taking down this boss I was really glad that I got this view sometimes when I’m recording on the other computer, they’re looking the wrong way and this way, it was really nice. My name is for wanting to take down. This boss was twofold. The first one was the expedition because you get once you open up once you take down a tower you open up another slot in the expedition and you get higher quality, spheres, and other materials, including ancient civilization cores which I needed to make things but you also open up the large electric incubator and I know that’s great. It’s perfect for me because I have been going crazy the past few weeks when I have been doing technically when I’m trying to meet a break/breed a a particular pal and I have to like I want I’m getting so many eggs because I’m using both Grintale and vegetable cake which causes them to lay multiple eggs.

This is a comparison of looking at April Pvd on the flatscreen on the left and in VR on the right. i’m at the point where I’m ready to take out the Moonflower tower, but I think I’m gonna chill for a little bit and work on redesigning my bases because they’re all just chaotic because I’ve just been putting stuff down as the quest line has said you have to build this and you have to build that so I’m just gonna take a moment to back off and trying to make things look a little bit better and a little bit neater. I’ve got some more cosmetic things like the cherry trees that I can put down and we’ll see how that goes.

Monday

And it was crazy because Monday morning, one of the things that I really wanted to do the dedicated server for and I’ve mentioned this is that I wanted to be able to play with all my characters and I wanted to be able to use the MacBook Pro to play when I’m just doing casual stuff like monitoring, eggs, or things like that and checking on food and things so I would sometimes in them when I get up in the morning while I’m eating my breakfast, I would do of course I did my workout today, but I’m not showing that I work out in VR on Monday, Thursdays, and Saturdays so I would get up while after I did my workout and everything before I could really get into putting on the VR headset I got on April on the MacBook Pro and I turned on the server and she checked on some eggs and stuff and then I got distracted, and I logged her off and went to do a few other things and forgot to turn the server off again I know I’ve done this once before and yeah, when I logged back in, everybody was upset everybody was miserable almost everybody two things I noticed was that both of my remote basis now you know I have on a brilliant and in my guild with April on the Mac she has three bases there’s her main base that’s the one that’s out on the water with the glass bottom and then she has her other base which was her first base and that’s a little a little closer to the starting area those two bases well actually her main base was the one that was crazy because I was trying to only give them really good food and I didn’t put any of the baked berries in the food box and that that’s the risk is that they run out of food, but the remote base is on both of them. The one with April Pvd that she has with Grand Nagus they had not only do. They have berries, but I think on one of my bases I had that generator thing that gives out some kind of waves to make their sanity stay higher and not only is that helpful for heat them from going crazy. They were less likely to get damage so the first thing I had to do when I logged in after my workout was to go to all the bases and put food in everybody’s food box and then there was a whole bunch of decisions I had to make because some of the really good about the ones that had the love of some watering or we’re doing specific things that I had compressed them for they were depressed so I had to go and make some of that medication. It looks like an injection and it will stop them from being depressed. What I wanted to do really was just replaced them all but you know some of My had put a lot of work into and I also went in and made a few more made another one of those generators on some of the bases that didn’t have them and it was a lot of work but at least you know you can recover from them. I mean if you leave your server running that the good thing is they were still working so they generated stuff the eggs were hatched and you know they were still farming and stuff. They were just kind of messed up, but that’s how Monday started.

One of the things that I’m doing in the game is leveling the basis because I wanna get that fourth base and that one I can just move around everywhere whenever I need resources. but I. The thing about leveling the bases though is that the material materials you need on the the equipment that you have to make it seems to be in level with you know the highest person and the next step is April Pvd needs needed to get to 58 so she could build a gigantic oven and then the next sphere machine and so she was at 57 and she was almost at 58 so I decided to take her into terraria, which is the crossover but there’s some game called terraria. I think I’ve talked about it before and so I ran her through that and it was a lot of fun. I love the background music. I love the all the different things you have to encounter this this honey pot that you have to break apart and there’s a whole bunch of different mobs to take out and I actually caught one of the eyeballs just to make it a pet you know then I realize I really need to try to get two of each because you know I like to breed I’ve gotten hooked on breeding, but I went through and I took out the boss and along the way sea level to 58, which meant she could make the next thing in the base expansion and for that I wanted to do it at that point I think oh yeah, she was she was back in a brilliant guild and so I wanted to have her make the gigantic stove and then the other thing was you know the sphere thing needed hex Hexall heel tight ingots in order to McDonald’s. She had to go to that other island and get a smoky and go into a dungeon to get chromite now I went ahead and got to that island got the smoky and I still needed to find a dungeon and once I got the smoky, I made the smoky harness which needed dark matter, which means I had to go back to that island and get the dark matter so I can make so she could get that done and I also got a male and a female. I got mother the first tooth Smokies I got and I was shocked turned out to be male and female, so I took them back to a Aprillian base and April Pvd started breeding them and getting the eggs for them. Then I had to kick on April because while while Pvd is in the other guild, the other bases are just running ragged, so April got on and checking on those spaces. She could at least monitor the food in the basket. She could set up some of the equipment to make stuff and it’s crazy to be doing this on two different character and two different guilds but it’s fun and I’m getting it done and I love the fact that it keeps my mind active and and if it was a really really good day,

The new incubator is so amazing. It can hold 10 eggs and it seems like it hatches even faster. It’s so cool to go over and say take all pals.

Ran the terraria dungeon on AprilPvd.

Tuesday

I did learn something from my previous game that I have on my desktop and that was that I didn’t need to make the metal finder thingy to get chromite instead I just use smoky and bought the harness and I kind of remembered to where to find the dungeon and I was impressed with the fact that I did it.

I also learned that I don’t need to set up a base to get Hexolite Quartz because there’s so much in the dungeon while I’m getting chromite.

To get from base level 23 to base level 24 I had to first build a gigantic furnace and then build the advanced sphere assembly line. But in order to build the advanced sphere assembly line I had to have the gigantic furnace make 50 hexalite ingots. But I got it done on April Pvd for a brilliant guild. This was exciting because the next step is to build a large scale electric egg incubator, which will allow you to have for bases. But you cannot get that incubator until you take out the boss at Feybeak tower, which you can’t get to until you take out the moon flower boss. So that’s two bosses ahead. So yeah.

Wednesday

Taking Aprillian out to be leveled up I really wanted to get her to appoint past April Pvd so she went up to the moon flower area, which is like a Japanese kind of feeling there’s all these cherry trees and interesting pets and and just it’s just beautiful, so she went through one of the dungeons and I was a little bit surprised because the dungeon was above her, but she has her Jourmantide shutdown, microphone, external microphone detection, and that thing will kill anything. They’ve been a couple of times when I was actually trying to capture a pal, and I bought it out to keep me from dying and it just mutilated them so I was kind of neat. I love the atmosphere of this place and I love the decoration and of course this is where the next tower I need to do is so I’m running through this and doing all the quest she hadn’t. April Pvd has already got to the point where it says take out the tower. The reason why you’re doing it is cause there’s a guy there. The client is in love with the woman who is in charge of the tower and she won’t give up her responsibilities unless you take over the tower, but the whole place is just so beautiful and I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the fact that with my handgun I could take out a lot of the mobs, and then when I needed to, I would bring out my big dragon.

Originally, I was going to log into Aprillian because I wanted to move her guild to the new island because she’s gonna need that Crystal. But I remembered April Pvd was the one who had the guild chest technology. I should look at it, though at this point I could probably have them duplicate some of the things to keep from having jump back-and-forth. It worked out while she was in a guild she could set their gigantic furnace to make the Hexalite ingots that Aprillian has not not gotten into the level to learn.

Thursday

Workout as usual

No Man’s Sky!!!

Logged into No Man’s Sky to do the expedition on my main account April Pvd. It took a few minutes to get some of my muscle memory back, and I was still jumping with the wrong button because it’s different from the one I use in Palworld.
