Re: The 2024 Spading Project!

Yep, I got a solid hologram. As I expected, it also welds with all the haptic items to get sweet level 50 equipment. Pretty cool stuff.

The level 50 requirement likely means that's the level cutoff for liquid and solid hologram drops though.

There's two missing item IDs after the halter/hose/headgear, but I was unable to find either. Okay, it is a...

I'm preeeetty sure the Yith and byhakee companions are legit aliens. Cthulhu verse has a lot of flesh and blood extraterrestrials in addition to the "mythical" kind of creatures.

Also, the Zion's Tears and Elco Hoist creatures... well, I'm not saying it was aliens... but it was aliens.
