Update 16 secrets and findings... Hopefully spoilers
Discuss the redacted here please and anything else you find interesting.

Example of what i find interesting.... Grilled cheese and maple syrup.
Ok seriously now, have you found anything in U16 yet?

I think i'm going to start playing again, i know nobody probably cares, last time i played was Dec 30 2022, so not that long ago.

Pretty sure it's code for "we didn't add much, sorry."

Raxxla still no where to be found

Its pretty much "Thargoids, Thargoids, and more Thargoids".

Annoyed with the goid?
Travel deeper in the void
They let us find the missing Megaship and Thargoids are now hyperdicting people carrying escape pods outside their sphere of influence and using some kind of Thargoid equivalent of a hatchbreaker limpet. Also new drink cup models in low gravity on foot areas and a new paid outfit in the shop. So basically nothing if you don't care about the Thargoid War.

i logged in 2 times since oddity update still annoyed no personal quarters in space station , since i am elite apart from combat ( mostly harmless) and even though i have a over 36 ships including a anaconda i was hoping for something . the grind for xeno parts is a nightmare so i think i pass for moment on thargoids . even a extra character slot or a new ship would have been enough . and when are the other friendly aliens from the original going to show up i am tired of seeing humans ? also the galactic hyper jump from original there is a lot they could do , back to waiting again and dreaming of hollowing out a asteroid as a personal base

Scythes collecting things in combat aftermaths using thimpets.

Revenants guarding a new thargoid specialty POI on planets.

No need to go all the way out into the void to see new things however one can do as one pleases and play to have fun. :steamhappy:

Inbetween ferrying some passengers from occupied & alert areas to the rescue ships, i am also in the process of unlocking quite a few permits in the bubble and wow so much content to find; recently found a "Debris field" that spawns in some rare treasure along with waves of pirates. I've gotten quite a few "First discoveries" there, and i found a couple of derelict megaships too. Also some signal satellites in various places.
-the area around Scylla is filled with mysteries.

You don't need to grind for xeno parts, you can buy enhanced multis at any rescue ship for cash, as well as the advanced Xeno scanner.

Fill a krait mk II with hull and module reinforcements, throw 1-2 grades of heavy duty engineering on those (grade 1 materials) and off you go.

With update 14 and 15 the content was unveiled over time, not all on day one.

FDev love their surprises, and at any moment playing ED you could be the one who finds something noteworthy - like the original Thargoid encounters.

You could turn a corner at a settlement and come face to face with a 3m high thargoid aiming to rip your face off. There's just no knowing, and that keeps the game fresh for me.

That would be great because settlement encounters are zzz easy even with no engineer G2 gear.

I am using Crossover to play ED on my Mac.
All was well until Update 16.
The Loader runs but no window opens.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any consideration.

The new launcher needs dotnet 4.8. If you run the official installer from Microsoft under Crossover that should fix it.

On the Buur discord, in the tin-foil-hattery channel, someone has posted pics and a short video of new thargoid organics on *thin atmo* planet surfaces in thargoid controlled systems. They're also mentioned in the Codex.

These thargoid sites are popping up on planets in thargoid controlled systems all over the place.
