Do we have any estimates as to how long it takes for a species of bacteria to go technically extinct entirely via genetic drift? (lemmy.world)
 

So, let’s say there’s a species of bacteria that is known to dwell in Greek yogurt. How long would it take before that species of yogurt-dweller only has modern descendants different enough to qualify as one or more new species?

If nuclear fusion were to become useful for residential heating, could the plasma be useful for fake fireplaces? (lemmy.world)
 

When I say “fake fireplace”, I mean something like those structures fueled by fossil methane that produce flame and heat but obviously don’t burn actual wood

Do we have any theories as to why complex life eventually started requiring various metal elements as micronutrients? (lemmy.world)
 

For example, why did zinc, of all things, start getting utilized by brain and prostate tissue in humans?

1
How do some animals (or at least humans) manage to generate more force than their own muscles are rated to handle? (lemmy.world)
 

Just as an example, there were evidently reports during the 2007 Glasgow airport attack that someone attempting to subdue the assailant and assist police kicked said attacker in the testicles… but somehow managed to do so hard enough to injure one of their own foot tendons.

Does this description imply that life-support gel is an engineered breathable liquid? (lemmy.world)

Depending on the setting and its origins, perhaps a scholarly Bard would work well. (lemmy.world)

Is PLA a good material for 3D printing a tool intended to remove pack ice from a driveway? (lemmy.world)

What somewhat-“friendly” bacteria species are common in Greek yogurt, and would their gut presence likely increase consumption of other dairy? (lemmy.world)

Is the “obligate herbivory” feeding preference losing meta relevance? (lemmy.world)
 

A YouTube guide explaining how the feeding preference system for builds is a spectrum rather than a hard-and-fast rule (from CasualGeographic) claimed that most true herbivore builds rely on the “facultative herbivory” preference. One of the few examples of the “obligate herbivory” preference given in the video are sloths.

Is mandatory herbivory on the way out, meta-wise? (Given how city biomes seem to reward opportunism and smarts, I guess it would make sense)

[potential spoilers for planet names] How did the worlds in Delta Pavonis get their names? (lemmy.world)

spoilertitleThe naming themes here almost seem all over the place, or maybe I don’t know about a couple of the inspirations. Some are named after scientists (or perhaps the units of measure named after some of these), but the moons of Arachna are named “Itsy,” “Bitsy,” and hilariously, “Worthless.” I also have no idea where the names of Nascent and its moons come from.

Any idea how some of these planets and moons got their names in Delta Pavonis?

Remember my previous post about a bug where no crew spawn on hostile ships? I think I’m closer to isolating the cause. in c/starfield@lemmy.zip

Oh, I Just was saying that surveying planets in general while you have an active companion can risk triggering the bug (maybe it even is triggered by actual combat with miscellaneous alien critters, can’t confirm that, though).

The quests related to surveying planets or critters are fine, as long as you don’t bring a companion.

However, if you want to try the quests I’ve used for this testing, both are radiant/miscellaneous quests you can get after completion of the Vanguard questline.

I tested boarding using a quest you can get by talking to Commander Tuala in New Atlantis.

The objective that gives you the gene-sampling quest involves talking to a guy named “Perceval” (you’ll know him when you go through that questline)

Based on further testing, something that can happen while with a companion during planet surveying seems to potentially trigger the bug, quest or no quest.

So the companion is relevant, the quests are not.

Last time, I reverted a save, and MUCH later, the issue happened again.

But this time, I think I’ve noticed a common thread between these two instances of the bug cropping up.

The last time it happened, one of the things I did involved doing a survey quest on a random planet with life, with an active companion (one of the Constellation companions, in this case).

The second time, I was on a genetic sampling quest (not spoiling how you get that classification of quest) on another such planet with another Constellation companion.

I don’t know how much of this common thread could be causing this bug, but for those who’ve had to revert saves over it, I hope this revelation helps somehow, wether through general caution or further testing.
