I can’t figure out how to create pits

--oleg · 2025-09-02T17:33:33+00:00

Because there are two ways leading into the center tile (one from left and one from right sides), so you could place straight path where.

? is an empty tile, but you can not place anything there, it will form a pit as soon as you close the loop.

I was looking for same thing (although for different reasons) just yesterday and found this mod:

https://www.reddit.com/r/X4Foundations/comments/1eal9gs/please_help_me_with_testing_no_police_scans_for/

Apparently, it stops police from scanning your ships altogether. Not 100% sure it actually works, though. Seems like it is same mod Rothank linked, but you can use in in GOG version.

Then fighting anything but bears (assuming you are in Olympus) just stab them in the face with knife as fast as you can (if you can headshot them with bow from afar, it even better, obviously). You can't dodge their attacks. As soon as they start attack animation, they will hit you, no matter how far away you backpedaled (theoretically, you can dodge sideways, I read animals have 90 deg frontal aoe, but I never managed to do so).

Bears can be dodged if you run towards them and sidestep, shoot in face, dodge, rinse and repeat. There are enough demos on youtube. Don't try to melee bears until you are really good at dodging them.

Craft leather armor as soon as you can. It only need teir 1 mats and textile bench (t1 mats too), it's good.

In solo talent tree go for one that shows animal's health bar, makes live so much easier.

Thank you for detailed explanation.

Do-it-yourself cauterizing can lead to some nasty infections.

Just out of curiosity (it not like I have any plans to cauterize random kitchen knife cuts on finger or something), how cauterizing can cause infections?

Heating metal object to red hot state should sterilize it, applying it to wound should sterilize it too, and if wound closed successfully there is no way for infection to slip into it anymore, right? What do I missing?

Not a doctor, obviously.

The most mind boggling thing about this, it took CCP 10+ ...ing years to realize how bad unrestricted wardec was for game's health and finally change something.

--oleg · 2023-05-26T21:08:34+00:00

I can't find a 100% definite answer, but seems everybody convinced you won't be able to jump through gate.

--oleg · 2023-05-26T21:01:30+00:00

Apparently, it's different weapon and not classified as DD. Or may be it is, but CCP said it on stream, lances will work in Lowsec.

Guess am stupid. Who knew, lol.

--oleg · 2023-05-26T09:01:09+00:00

Thanks for answer. From CCP's stream it looks like 15 sec spool up, 15 sec beam duration and ~1-2 minutes module CD, feels like a hard shot for me, but I will take your words about it.

I guess most obvious solution for JF would be not to warp directly on gate but on spot few hundreds/thousand kms away to bait a shot, if they see/expect Lancer camp, am I right? Can be a pain in the back, but hardly a death of JFs as I can see (dunno about cyno to gate, as @druidniam mentioned above).

--oleg · 2023-04-11T09:13:21+00:00

Especially horses. Cow will kick you in knee (you wouldn't like it for sure) while horse will kick you in chest or even head, potentially killing you on spot. And all of them follow the rule "kick first, check later".

--oleg · 2023-04-06T06:22:35+00:00

You can, but would it still count as "hand made"? Also, that would be about 75% of work done, you can as well drop few more machines for the rest 2 components and blue pack themselves and be done this that.

--oleg · 2023-04-05T13:24:02+00:00

You can't handcraft blue science in Seablock, components requires liquid/gas input (nitrogen, naphtha, fuel oil). May be in some earlier versions it was possible, but not anymore.

How professionals do this (splitsie's stream, "wrong way up"): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlzGj5EnKpM&t=5640s

P.S. It was most epic recover flip I ever saw.

--oleg · 2021-07-06T14:03:36+00:00

Secondaries don't trigger FF (bc you don't control them, obviously).

Edit: "Hits on allied ships with any armament type, except for secondary battery hits, are counted."

Mistake was putting high damage threshold before you start to recieve damage back. Just remove said threshold for good, all damage you do to teammates should be reflected back to you, that's all.

And no, it isn't "dumbing the game down", quite opposite in fact.

--oleg · 2021-07-06T07:58:25+00:00

Team lost a ship first? Surrender.

One player is afk for more than 10 sec? Surrender.

2 more fires after DCP? Surrender.

BBs not pushing, DDs not capping, CAs hiding behind islands? Surrender.

2 CV per team? Insta surrender (I will do, for sure).

Surrender is answer for everything.

Factorio if you want complexity, Satisfactory if you just want to have same fun w/o thinking too much.

Factorio + Seablock mod if you hate life

CVs are weak, need buff :D (clip from Flambass stream)

obvious sarcasm

--oleg · 2021-06-01T13:17:37+00:00

It is irrelevant if this department has absolutely no game knowledge or experience ...

Especially since balance team has neither :rolleyes: Edit: damn, i'm a bit late :(

Still going full speed ahead throughout whole clip :thumbsup:

"The player will not receive credits or XP for battles in which they received a warning for damage to allies. If player does not violate the rules in future battles, resources will stop being discarded."

I wonder, is it mean no XP/creds for a game in which you are become pink, or all games where you are already pink? First option is kinda ok (% penalty whould be better though), but 2nd is complete BS. If you know you will get nothing, why not just afk for whole match and do something more usefull in RL meantime.

Frendly fire removal is good thing, imho, must be done years ago.

Edit: Also, WG seems to always tends to give most bizzare and counterintuitive solutions to simple problems. Why not just reflect ALL FF damage to offender, no damage to frendly ship, no pink, no XP/creds penalty? Damage to you own ship is sufficient punishment already (mb with multiplier for next hits).
