THE FORMIDINE RIFT MYSTERY (Part 4)

-Denali-

D
I'm out scanning my way towards Sag A and thinking about our earlier conversation on star types. I'm jumping to any scoopable star except M types and scanning bodies as I go. I don't think I've ever had a trip where I've found more terraformables or ELW's. The area of space I'm in seems crazy heavy with them and oddly, most have been around K type stars. I trust the meta statistics, but dear god I must have some odd luck.

EDIT: Anyone know if there's a record for largest water world ever found? I just found a TWW with carbon based life that's 12.85 earth masses. Thing is huge!

You mean this one?

If so then bear in mind it would likely have be pointing at something on the planet (if it is pointing at anything) as the planet moves around so it'd always be pointing somewhere different on the starmap.

They make clothing out of bug skin? Man this is a weird game.

Weirder than clothing made out of:
- petrified rotten plants and animals
- hair of animals
- dead plants
- skin from animals



Don't get me starting about food:
- bee vomit (with the extra bonus of bee vomit from bees that ate the excrements of other insects)
- rotten milk
- rotten leaves of a tree

Humans are weird.

My favorite will probably be ridiculously expensive coffee made by carefully passing the beans through a civet cat's digestive system first. Ok I get that it tastes really good but who was the first person to think: You know what would make this coffee really smooth ? If we had a civet cat eat and crap out the beans first.

And did they know it was a civet cat or did they try a bunch of other animals first: Dog: yuck, Cow: hmm, seem to have lost the beans, Squirrel: died.

That is easy: droppings of unknown animal containing coffee beans - human doesn't want to waste beans - human is surprised that it tastes good - creative human leans about it and sells that type of coffee to bored and way to rich humans - other curious human does some research and finds out what animal eats the coffee beans and …

Actually, it doesn't. The acids in the digestive system remove all the oils and goodies that actually give the flavour to the bean.
