Thank you! I recently saw a thumbnail of this in a Feral Historian video and I was hoping to find a copy.

Seconding this advice. Install ProtonUp-Qt, run it and add the latest Proton-GE version. Restart Steam and change game compatibilty settings to use use Proton-GE.

My curiosity got the best of me, here’s the link to Wright: https://www.wrightmfg.com/products/mowers/commercial/stand-on/robotic-zk/

The Mower

• 40HP Vanguard Engine
• Hydro-Gear Smartec Drive-By-Wire 12cc
• 15.5 Gallon Fuel Capacity
• Centimeter-level accurate RTK GPS
• Commercial-grade Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)
• Depth-sensing object detection cameras
• Rock-solid wireless emergency stop
• Remote control mode
• Live Greenzie support: Call for support while in the field for real-time fixes.

The Software

• Mow the boundary once, and the mower fills in the rest
• Remembers maps and can repeat them when you come back. Just place it in the previous boundary.
• Create no-go zones that will be saved with your map to avoid hitting hard-to-see obstacles like drain covers or small pipes sticking out of the ground.
• Record and repeat: Record yourself mowing the entire property, and the mower will replicate your movement.
• Manage the mower with the controller or a smart device in real-time.
• Advanced fleet support: See how your fleet is performing. Replay entire jobs, not just a dot on the map.
• Run multiple units at once.
• Set the stripe angle (for those stunning cross-hatch patterns)
• Seamless automatic updates

Don’t get me wrong, I still feel dirty for defending the US patent system. lol

‘Personal use’ covers propagation and breeding by an individual, for non-commercial purposes. Nobody’s saying -you- can’t try to propigate or breed them, but you could be libel if you try to make money off the endeavor.

In this case I would say the patent system is working as intended, in that it gives some protection to LightBio’s investment into creating the firefly. While I would LOVE to see an expanded variety available from other -commercial- growers (with MUCH larger operations and funding), I don’t want it to be at the expense of LightBio’s effort, or the commercial success they’ve earned for creating it in the first place.

Nice! Mine should be arriving soon and I can’t wait! Does Light Bio send out shipping notices, or did you all just have it arrive as a nice surprise?

I don’t know of a gamified version (but would love to see one), but for help identifying, validating, and tracking sightings you may find the Merlin app from TheCornellLab useful.
