Google didn’t create RCS. The idea was floated in 2008 and in 2009 the GSM association (Non-profit, representing 700+ mobile carriers across the world) began directing the project. Since then 47 mobile network operators, 11 equipment manufacturers, and 2 operating system companies (Google & Microsoft) have pledged their support for RCS.

In fact, Google only started implementing RCS in 2019 whereas Samsung has been releasing phones since 2012 with RCS. Now RCS is actively used by over 88 operators in 59 countries with almost 400,000,000 daily users.

tl;dr - Apple not using RCS is Apple’s problem when the rest of the world does.

Aw come on, Google is just a little down on their luck is all. Besides they only made close to $300,000,000,000 this year. Barely enough to put food on the table! /s

That is a very very busted texture. Definitely need to verify your install and any mods you may have alongside, check your GPU drivers etc.

Koli Discii C 6 is your best bet to farm engineering resources imo. Right in the bubble, easy to get to, and a variety of mats to pickup. You’ll need to relog though to keep up the farm but you can get a decent amount of crap in an hour or two. You wanna find the crashed python on the planet.

Can’t speak for synthesis mats though, never bothered with it myself.
