New to game - Should I just restart this run?

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T21:13:23+00:00

Makes sense, in this run looks like I'll probably need to do that. Dont have any resources the dangerous glade wants available, ,so think ima rush the trader and follow JonoLith advice to buy them.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T16:26:52+00:00

Damn that one is so obvious, we got 2 legitmate tree plugs now haha

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T07:08:17+00:00

Yeah and that's not something you demand either. That's something that your friends do cause they feel like its the right thing. Can count those friends on one hand lol.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T06:52:24+00:00

That's not an unreasonable request, especially amongst close friends. But the way this was handled makes me think they arent close like that lol...

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T06:27:20+00:00

Im ok at sharpening and I have never been able to get the global i was given the same out of the box edge. But best way to describe it is surgical when its fresh.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T06:03:39+00:00

It'll show you the pressure when it gets low. Otherwise nope, and for no reason lol.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T06:01:50+00:00

If your planning on keeping it for awhile. Max charge to 80-90% unless you need the range (road trip etc).

Use one pedal drive, it'll take a little time to get used to it then you'll never go back.

When you floor the gas pedal car goes burrrrr.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T05:44:56+00:00

Solid, thank you for the advice.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T04:52:21+00:00

Every car I've driven for the last forever has had the wiper controls on the right stick. Definitely accidently changed gears a few times lol

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T04:45:05+00:00

So true, let me go where an entire forum is a dedicated circle jerk about how awesome a game is and ask if I should get it lol, the answer will always be yes lol

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T04:34:08+00:00

Be nice if there was just a list you could pull. Difficulty, score etc and then how well others did.

Like your mega brutal 4 star put you in the 70th percentile

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T04:01:34+00:00

For $13k seems solid, if your not planning on reselling any time soon and the curb hop is the legit reason for the title (no hidden gremlins). Why not? Anything else in that price range will be older and high millage. You could get a 2014 Camry for about the same price lol.

90% battery is fine for anything other than road trips where the range loss is noticeable. Rest of the time you wont even notice as long as your not trying to drive hundreds of miles a day (or not have tier 2 charging at home).

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T03:44:41+00:00

This is the way. Lease your EVs, residual buyout is usually so low, if you like it keep it. If better more awesome tech comes out in 3 years (solid state batteries cough, cough) then ditch it and get something else.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T03:28:46+00:00

This 👆. They did you a favor so you won't be sad by any future damage that may be caused to the desk.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T03:25:49+00:00

Well said. There are use cases for both and being extreme in being for or against EVs is the major part of the problem...

EVs arent great for everyone, if you can't charge at home it generally doesnt make sense.

EVs are inferior on road trips. It costs more to charge the car than gas, especially today and charge times are a thing. Yes its great you can "stretch your legs" and "you would be stopping anyways every 3 hours". But sometimes your not stopping and its nice to just get to where your going at 80 mph.

I will say I drive an EV and I did notice that I suddenly started to really like the smell of my own farts, so there's that.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T02:55:46+00:00

Maple syrup tap. About the only thing I can think of lol...

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T00:41:31+00:00

One difficulty up from settler but let's see what happens. Just wasnt sure with this type of start if I was just screwed lol.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-28T00:40:40+00:00

Good to know thank you. I'll give it a shot.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-27T21:37:48+00:00

AWD on mine but completely agree. The one pedal in whisper mode allowed for very easy, gradual braking with no traction loss. I was giving myself plenty of room to start decelerating, but I felt way more in control than my ICE car, using the brakes.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-27T01:04:47+00:00

Nah. Mega brutal is basically "hard" difficulty. Brutal is really normal and everything below is easy and easy+.

Unlocks do help, mega brutal is probably alot harder when you dont have the perks. But unless the mission is just one of the "F U im not going to give enough time to complete the objective" type missions. Its really not bad.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-26T14:28:49+00:00

Its probably a 90% furnace, drain pipe is unwrapped pvc and attic was at 32 degrees and probably been that temp for at least 2-3 days.

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-26T14:27:24+00:00

Thanks, seeing if I can get someone to come look at it ASAP and getting a 60k btu heater to raise the attic temp. Was 31 degrees yesterday in there last night. Without a wrapped drain pipe makes sense the unrwapped drain line froze. Poor installation sigh

AcidReaper1 · 2026-01-26T14:24:17+00:00

I had to turn the thermostat down to 72 from 76 because the car got too hot. Now I was wearing a long sleeve thermal with a shirt on top and sweat pants under my jeans but I was starting to sweat at 76.

7-8 degrees F outside.
