I was thinking about how to make this delivery game fun-ish.
The big point is you don't know where you're delivering, just the planet.
Once you pick a landing spot, you have a Fallout 2 style map you can roam across. Eventually, maybe you find pointers or encounters.
BUT before you commit-

BUT before you commit-
Various tiles on the map are marked in advance with different icons.
If you do the matching kind of research - for example, sensor scanning, interviewing survivors, researching historical records, etc - you get to see what's in that tile AND get a clue as to the nearest major signal.

So I'm running a fever and have taken quite a lot of Dayquil, but I think this sounds fun, because it means you can spend your time researching before you descend.
Everything you do has a time cost, whether it's research or movement or space travel, and that's the main cost of the game. Time.

Supersized Calculator Brings the Whole Intel 4000 Gang Together
Though mobile devices and Apple Silicon have seen ARM-64 explode across the world, there’s still decent odds you’re reading this on a device with an x86 processor — the direct descendant of the world’s first civilian microprocessor, the Intel 4004. The 4004 wasn’t much good on its own, however, which is why [Klaus Scheffler] and [Lajos Kintli] have produced super-sized discrete chips of the 4001 ROM, 4002 RAM, and 4003 shift register to replicate a 1970s calculator at 10x the size and double the speed, all in time for the 4004’s 50th anniversary.
We featured this project a couple of years back, when it was just a lonely microprocessor. Adding the other MSC-4 series chips enabled the pair to faithfully reproduce the logic of a Busicom 141-PF calculator, the very first to market with Intel’s now-legendary microprocessor. Indeed, this calculator is the raison d’etre for the 4004: Busicom commissioned the whole Micro-Computer System 4-bit (MCS-4) set of chips specifically for this calculator. Only later, once they realized what they had made, did Intel buy the rights back from the Japanese calculator company, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Since its history, it belongs in a museum– and that’s where this giant, FET-based calculator is going. If you happen to be in Solothurn, Switzerland, you’ll be able to see it at a new history of technology exhibit opening at the Enter Museum in 2026. Do check out the write-up and links at 4004.com if you want to learn about this important piece of human history.
The museum-quality hack. Three 4003 shift registers are on the left, with a 4001 ROM above the 4004 CPU in the center, flanked by three 4002 RAM “chips” on the right. Photo by [Klaus Scheffler].We had to specify “first civilian microprocessor” at the start of this article because the US Navy beat them to the punch by a whole year, and kept it secret until 1998. There’s something very 1970s about the fact that top-secret US military technology was reinvented for a Japanese calculator within a year. It honestly makes [Federico Faggin], the man credited with the design, seem no less visionary than when we thought he was first out of the gate.

@evan Actually it dawns on me that it sounded kind of elitist. In fact, both of us feel headach-ey after a couple hours of video, and I watch live sports a couple nights a week and we both have music sessions on certain weeknights, so it's not out of disdain for TV. Currently watching Sandman Season 2.

I think I'm making a charset/tileset editor now, somehow? Why are all the existing tools for this stuff so complicated and confusing?

La manipolazione emotiva è abuso e violenza.
A qualsiasi livello: può essere un piccolo abuso o un grande abuso ma è sempre abuso e violenza.
Se voglio una cosa da una persona la chiedo in modo chiaro ed esplicito usando le parole.
Se quella persona mi dice "no" accetto il no.
Se sono in una posizione di potere rispetto alla persona, non chiedo, perché la risposta potrebbe essere condizionata dalla situazione.
Se la persona mi dice "sì" faccio il possibile per accertarmi che non ci siano condizioni che impongano alla persona di dire "sì".
Usare l'emotività (fallo per farmi stare bene, oh come mi rendi felice, se non lo fai sono triste, oh ma come sei bravə, se fai questra cosa se grande! Dai che poi ci ridiamo su...) per ottenere un "sì" anche in cose che sembrano piccole o poco importanti è sbagliato perché condiziona e toglie all'altra persona la possibilità di decidere in modo lucido.
È sbagliato. È abuso e violenza.
Così, pensavo che ogni tanto vale la pena ricordarlo.
