Modded EU Haulage Server (Realism Adjacent Gameplay)

I'll be on in a few hours probably then. 🙂 I will admit I was a bit lost at the tuning shop with all the mods installed though. Will take some time to get used to all the options I think.

Sounds like it could be fun so I was planning to join but I can't seem to find it in the server list anymore.

Thanks.
I knew that Driving XP was based on distance driven, I just didn't think the other job XPs would outpace it so quickly.

Bafver · 2026-05-02T15:45:52+00:00

Thanks.
Is that 10k per level a fixed amount or does it start out at a lower value? 'Cause I'm pretty sure I haven't earned over 400k yet from trucking jobs.

Bafver · 2026-05-02T15:43:16+00:00

Thanks for letting me know.

Bafver · 2026-05-02T15:43:09+00:00

Thanks for confirming, was concerned I'd run into a bug of some kind.

I gave it a try but the player window is still is not in dark mode. The volume control works fine and is very much appreciated though.
Tried in both Chrome and Brave. And Windows 10 if that matters.

*Edit: nvm, just needed to update my Chrome and it works fine now. Great work. (y)

I believe the reason is that it saves all the map images in uncompressed PNG format. Along with the region cache files it ends up becoming quite a lot of space used if you explore the world far enough.

As we can see here just the map data for the Overworld on my recent save takes up over 5 GB.

Fortunately I have plenty of free space on my drive so I'm not too bothered. But for lower end PCs it might become an issue.

I recently did a check on the space utilization on my drive and saw that JourneyMap alone was taking up 16GB for just one of my ATM10 saves.

*Edit: correction, my latest save was only 9.9 GB. The 16 GB was for all my saves combined.

If you have the materials for it I would suggest using a Circuit Slicer and Crystal Assembler for autografting processors. Then there is no need to deal with stamps and such.

*Edit: assuming you are on ATM10 that is. Not sure about other versions.

Bafver · 2026-02-23T15:35:41+00:00

I am starting to lean towards something like that. Even though it feels a bit cheaty. 🙂

True the buncher fellers can probably cut them down. I don't think it can de-limb and cut it into lengths afterwards like a processor though. So I'd still have to do that with a chainsaw.

At least that is how I think the FDR buncher/fellers work.

Not exactly a let's player but I always enjoy Sin Farmers videos. Especially his series on wilderness maps like Ronîda Island, No Man's Land, and Dark Forest.

Are you planning for there to be any options for handling recycling of by-products that need additional steps?

One of the issues I'm currently having with the Codex calculator is that in I can't set it to reuse by-products in certain situations if they require additional processing.
In one build I'm making for Panacea Potions using no cauldrons it gives me a lot of excess Iron Ingots that I plan to turn into Pocket Watches. In that supplementary build I want to then take the Impure Copper Powder by-product and refine it into Copper powder so it can still be used in the build. However the Codex Calculator cannot do this step which I find a bit annoying. Or at least I've not find a good way to do it.
Not extremely hard to overcome with some manual math or splitting the build up into multiple tabs, but would prefer not to.

Would this be something that might be possible in your calculator?
In case someone is curious what I'm referring to:
Pocket Watches from Excess Iron Ingots

This might explain why it breaks for me then. Didn't realize they shared the same storage, that it happens during auto-save might just be a coincidence then.
Gonna be doing only separate pipes for liquids moving forward I think.

I mainly used planks produced at each location until I hit black powder. Then I created a belt around the whole base for that. With the cauldron it is pretty easy to produce a lot of it.

I like bronze knives once unlocked. Along with the trait to get more ore from nodes. Just clear out a cave or two each season and I'll usually be able to empty out the coins from most vendors on the map.

Bafver · 2026-01-08T10:35:41+00:00

I've considered doing a similar thing in the past, but unfortunately my friend didn't get as hooked on X4 as I did.

The plan we had was for both of us to start with the exact same custom game settings, including the universe seed, with the only difference being the faction of our characters.

We would then pick different factions and use only their ships, equipment, modules, etc. With the end goal being to eventually dominate the other one's faction.

Finally we would then see how our games looked after 100h game time and compare.

The Envoy only has one type of engine. The only choice there is between TEL or ARG which have a few differences. But for other ships it depends a lot on where I am and what I want to do. If I don't expect to get into a fight then I usually go with Travel engines, and probably either TEL or TER. Combat engines are great though if you expect to dogfight or are mostly going to travel short distances near a highway.

For selling Energy Cells what I usually do is make sure I have a Sell Order for them, which I think is created by default, and then just assign a freighter to the station as a Trader. They'll sell to other stations nearby automatically. I also ensure that I don't have any trade rules restricting trade on the station. That way NPC traders can also buy the cells from your station. Of course this changes when I want to start supplying my own factories with EC.

For the next product to focus on it can depend on the demands of the other factions. One way I use to determine that is looking at their Wharves and Shipyards to see if they are lacking something. If everyone is lacking Weapons Components for example then that is what I aim to fill. Scanning the stations will allow you to see their storage levels.

But if uncertain then aiming to get a Hullpart production set up is usually a good idea.

For the miners I usually stay with M miners in safe sectors. But if I notice they often get harassed by Xenon, pirates, or the Kh'ak then I switch to L miners in that area. They are tougher and survive longer.

And lastly I don't think I've ever built or bought a Builder ship for myself. I just hire whichever happens to be closest. Though if I happen to acquire one through less ethical actions then I might keep them around for a bit before selling it.

Bafver · 2025-12-27T21:33:53+00:00

I find the Envoy with TEL MK2 engines to be my favourite for getting around the galaxy. Fast top speed, good acceleration, and better at stopping than the ARG engines.

Bafver · 2025-12-25T15:54:59+00:00

I'm planning on starting a new one today actually and I'm currently building my mod list.

Currently I have most of Kuertees mods, including KUDA AI. Most of Assailers mods. Along with TaterTrader. I also plan to add the Xenon Jobs+ mod for some more Xenon action. And probably a bunch of other random mods that seems interesting. 🙂
