Stephenson has also mentioned that Julian Jaynes' book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind was one of the main influences on Snow Crash. Stephenson wrote about the Macintosh that "When the computer crashed and wrote gibberish into the bitmap, the result was something that looked vaguely like static on a broken television set-a 'snow crash '". Was the Command Line", Stephenson explained the title of the novel as his term for a particular software failure mode on the early Macintosh computer. Like many of Stephenson's novels, it covers history, linguistics, anthropology, archaeology, religion, computer science, politics, cryptography, memetics and philosophy. I think it's the latter though.Snow Crash is a science fiction novel by American writer Neal Stephenson, published in 1992. I'll need to do some testing to find out if new quests are unlocked by purchasing a new license upgrade, or if you actually have to upgrade your ship. However, as I understand it quest progression is indeed tied to ship upgrades, so if you haven't completed all of the quests then you won't be able to without upgrading your ship again. Now as to the other things, as far as I am aware doing so will not make you "forget" any techs you have unlocked. You will now have a fully functional tier 1 ship. You can then either redo the first few quests, or do it the much easier way of Then, if you delete the ship files associated with your character (and all of the backup files), then when you load the game again it will generate a new ship for you.
I've done the same thing myself, and it's relatively easy to do.įirst of course you should offload anything you want to keep from your ship. Thankfully, all unlocked techs remained intact.
Update 2: Deleting the metadata AND the shipworld files solved the problem. What data does the metadata and player files hold? There must be something in either or both of them that ties in to ship upgrades. It seems that the ship may detect either quest progression or tech unlocks to determine what stage you would be in appropriately. the ship was generated in the final tier, with hazard blocks appearing where they would when you upgraded your ship. Once everything was secured on my homeplanet, I deleted the shipworld file and all of its backups. UPDATE: So I did all the quests, unlocked all the techs, and stripped my ship bare. Is it tied to quest progression? Will the techs I've earned be removed as well? Total player corruption? Secondly, what are the possible side-effects? Besides the loss of ship space, of course. For reasons.įirstly, how do I go about doing this? Is there a mod that does this, or an item in-game, or is there a variable to tweak somewhere in the. This may sound silly, but I would like to downgrade my ship back to the 1-room tier.
