Reusability of booster stages is a big deal. It will make going to space a lot less expensive.
Blue Origin was the first to land a booster on land while SpaceX was trying to get it to land on a droneship.
They had some nice explosions in previous attempts, but they finally pulled it off on the fifth try.

Time for some more KSP :^)

Other Games / Factorio

Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories.

You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure,
automating production and fighting enemies. Use your imagination to design your
factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, apply management skills
to keep it working and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.

So, I've been following this game for a while now. It's a very nice indie game in which you can automate pretty much everything.
As you can see from the trailer, it's a top down sandbox game in which you gather resources, you craft machines, they gather resources, craft machines and so forth.
Of course, industrialization is bad for the local environment and the use of machines will anger the local wildlife. It's very much a game of optimization and maximization.

As of now it's still in alpha (0.11.22). The endgame is rather lacking but there's enough content to make up for that. It's also a very moddable game, so the gameplay can easily be extended.
According to their (weekly) news posts they will be launching this game on steam soon! I reckon that the price will go up when they do. Also, a few builds back they added multiplayer, get it and play with your mates!

If you're like me and you don't like spending money to find out if a game is shit or not, don't worry, they have a demo :^)


All of you who know and have the game, post screens of your epic factory floor and lets help each other with optimization!
For starters, I'm requesting pictures of oil setups, it's always such a bother...

Other Games / Slavehack

What is Slave Hack?
Slave Hack is an online hacking simulation game, Slave Hack is NOT related to any real hacking!
All in-game is virtual, everything is made up..like the IP ranges, software, warez etc.

OK I'm not afraid anymore - tell me about the features!
To start with the best: SH is a free game, you never need to show your credit card.
You start SH with a very old (133Mhz, 1gb harddisk) computer, you will need to gather some hack software quick or else you won't be able to defend yourself in this virtual world ! You can choose to live very defensive with as goal to collect good firewalls and live peacefully, or choose to collect powerful firewall-bypassers and password crackers to hack computers and make them your slaves.

These hacked computers (slaves) can be used to earn money or gain more power:
- Use them to send spam (Earn a few euros for every million emails).
- Sell warez (Illegally download one of the latest games and sell it online - Virtually, of course).
- DDoS and destroy an enemy computer.
- ...and more!

Slaves will do your bidding, BUT be sure to clean out your log files every now and then, otherwise your PC will be visited by some nasty admins very soon! You can also use logs in your advantage however - You can check logfiles of other VPC's to track any online transaction... and then what? Hack the bank account !


Goal of the game: Gather the best software and hardware around and hack as much player computers and NPC servers as you can to earn a spot in the highscores.


I started playing slavehack in 2007 but I lost interest along the way as I started playing other games.
Recently I logged back in to find it still alive.

Slavehack has a riddle trail you can follow all the way up to the best software! If anybody needs help I would be happy to supply it.
And if you are afraid of getting hacked instantly, don't worry, new players have a 60 minutes newbie protection which should get you on your way.

I'm also thinking of setting up a Group Server for the community, maybe with some kick start software and a forum for everyone who wishes to play.
