Empyrion Galactic Survival blueprint swapper

I wrote a little script to swap blueprints from BA to CV. Sometimes you design a base as a CV, then at the end you spawn your artwork in space and too late realise that in order for a CV to land on it in space it has to be a BA, whoops. So I wrote a script to swap the BP types around. This standalone script does not require anything else to download so long as you are running a Fully updated Windows 7 or Newer Windows. It runs native in Windows without any binaries. Before I share the script, here are the instructions: 1. Type "powershell" in the start menu 2. When it comes up, select run as Administrator. 3. Go to the folder you saved this file to and type as below: 4. Just run the script, it will find your blueprint folder (unless you installed steam on another drive to c:\ or 2 people play EGS on this computer, then it will error. If this happens, send me a message.) Download the script here: http://pastebin.com/9bGH88jx # If you see an error: # .\Toggle-B

A shutdown hobby turned mission

The birth of the goal. A mission, which I have kept to myself till now. About 300 yards from our Victorian mid-terrace, is the 6 bell StPeters, Wilburton, Cambridgeshire, infrequently rung. We grew up abroad so the novel sound nearby one day during the big shutdown had us listening and naively thinking, aah, that can't be too hard to do? My better-half jumped onto google and a while later we started learning, 5 miles away at Stretham StJames, which is a REC (Ringing Education Centre). It's been over a year now, learning a skill is much slower at age 50, and I have finally passed my ART level 1. Frustratingly slow and sometimes I think that not being either musical or mathematical have slowed me down too. But that first lesson turned the lockdown hobby into a mission. To ring my own church bells myself. Every time I hear ringing, I run down the road and sneak in to watch for a bit. Just this week was our district AGM, so we are now guild members too, in fact my smart wife has

Saw chain sharpening notes

chain depth gauges So today it's sharpening the chainsaw or "saw chain" sharpening notes day. I loaned a machine similar to this one in the video right at the bottom and used that as a tutorial. All photos here are mine own. This is a titan 20" https://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttl760chn-50cm-49cc-petrol-chainsaw/687fh petrol unit. I have an electric saw, but that is a self-sharpener, so not relevant here today. If you are in a hurry, just scroll down to the video at the bottom. I also looked at the hand sharpening, and as in many of the videos I found a discrepancy, most people sharpen at 30° , even though when I checked, my manufacturer states 25° angle. If going by hand is your thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzjmpNTVH6U shows how to use a neat little hand sharpener. Once again people don't use the same angle, so check and decide once. However I had this tool available to me to loan, so off I went. It takes a while to get the grinding disk end-stop
