Cthulhu? Usually is, at least its not Flying Polyps. Those definitely haunt flesh as well, at least until they steal your brains for whatever nefarious means they plan.

And no this isn't an answer, its a random musing*... <sub>^{Ia Ia Cthulhu Ftagn}

I would use the size of a (single) door rather than a floortile for the base area because doors are meant for an average person to fit through without it being a squeeze. A 60cm wide door would (for myself) leave about 6.5cm either side of me or less.
If you ever have anything like mechs or power armour they would not fit in one (60x60cm) tile.

Otherwise That design looks okay to me, though I'm no expert on atmospheric simulation physics (dabbling at best).

There is a spider in my curtain. Literally inside the curtain. Good thing I like spiders.

It wasn't diving at me, more flying towards my left or right and then back again to its perch. Besides, robins aren't aggressive toward humans and are often seen perched near people (on shovel handles for example) who might turf up bugs or provide food. And my mother has had one land on her hand so as to be the first one to get the day's food for the birds that was being put out (and proceeded to eat from her hand).

Also, the area I was in with the robin is an area where people often feed the birds (mostly the swans, ducks, geese and coots) so if anything it would have seen me as a potential food source (which robins see humans as anyway, well gardeners at least.)

6x DSTS 400 that I snuck in and dropped off. Basically Passive EM sensors will detect active sensors.
That and I actually looted the sensor intact with my salvage ships after pincering it between 4 destroyers and 4 cruisers causing the AI to keep trying to stay away from them and bouncing back and forth between a rock and a hard place. (along with TH-18 and EM-18 passives, I know exactly what their passive tech is as a result)

As for research, I am building more labs but currently have 45 split between 4 projects normally (sometimes because the Scientist cannot use more labs, usually because more than one tech group has something important and when you have two 55% scientists in two different areas why not use them both?) Although I'm often spending too much, what with needing more ships and buildings and everything else while only having one major planet with two colonies one of which needs infrastructure.

Precursors are confusing. They have two platforms I can see, and I can see their R1 sensor range as being about 4m km, I fire long range missiles to see if they have ammo still (they did) and they start lobbing AMMs at about 6m km, which is outside their sensor range. And they killed a destroyer at 20m km which they shouldn't have been able to see let alone track once it went back outside the range they fired at.

Also, which is likely to be the Gauss platform, the 18500t one or the 18050t one? Or should I just keep firing from outside their range until they stop launching missiles? (I kinda want to try and capture the platforms, would make nice trophies for earth's orbit)

Well I know R1 sensors do pick up ground units at their max range. And R100 missile fire controls can target them at point blank range.

Which lets them get closer before being hit. Okay its useless for a scout but for raiders and infiltration ships its handy. And for capital ships where tonnage isn't as concerning but survival is due to build costs and time.
