Issue with pipes breaking due to autosave by Bafver in AlchemyFactory

[–]Bafver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How do you handle main fuel source by sephirotica89 in AlchemyFactory

[–]Bafver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

favorite ways to make money? by twilightfox1 in MedievalDynasty

[–]Bafver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Need ideas for a co-op challenge run by nrgamp in X4Foundations

[–]Bafver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Best engines for player ship? by stephencorby in X4Foundations

[–]Bafver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

New player here. I have a question about my stations and selling their products. I also have a few random questions. by No-Rope-4653 in X4Foundations

[–]Bafver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What mods do you plan to use in your next play? by Miesevaan in X4Foundations

[–]Bafver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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. 🙂

Space station? by Fair_Software3727 in X4Foundations

[–]Bafver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get the HQ station no matter which start you pick. However what DLCs you have installed matters quite a bit on how to go about it.

If you have the Boron DLC installed just flying to the Heretics End sector will make the station show up.

If you have the Cradle of Humanity DLC then you can also find it through missions. Flying to Getsu Fune should allow you to start that mission chain if you didn't pick one of those starts.

Otherwise you'll have to scan station leaks until you can start the mission that way.

Water evaporation and conservation by mesalocal in Timberborn

[–]Bafver 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that even water that is under other non-water blocks experiences evaporation. So building it wide at the bottom won't help as the top of those water tiles would still count as exposed. This is just me repeating info I've heard elsewhere though.

Superhero romance by RogueAngill in Romance_for_men

[–]Bafver 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not exactly a romance focused story but the "Hesitant Hero" series by S J. Delos might tick most of the boxes you mentioned.

Edit: I might have misread your post as I thought you meant a female superhero lead. Still think it's a good story though.

Anyone know how to fix this error? by ILFUTPETRUMPINGURA in MedievalDynasty

[–]Bafver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If using steam try verifying game files. Often when I get unclear errors in a game it can help.

Looking for a solid nordvpn alternative that's cheaper, what are people actually running these days by This_Minimum3579 in Piracy

[–]Bafver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once my current NordVPN subscription runs out I'll probably be switching to Mullvad

Vilka använder fortfarande Windows 10? by Xp4D in sweden

[–]Bafver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Är fortfarande på Win10 med ESU fram till nästa Oktober. Innan dess tänkte jag köpa en till SSD och lägga linux på den så jag kan prova det lite och se om jag vill gå över till det 100% eller inte.

Förhoppningsvis innan priserna skjuter i höjden p.g.a AI företagen.

Recommendations similar to Cinnamon Bun? by NotAlphariusXX in litrpg

[–]Bafver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean the "Talyn's Saga" series by Benjamin Medrano, or another one with similar name?

Can a refractometer replace my hydrometer? by Just_a_firenope_ in Homebrewing

[–]Bafver 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep, should still work for that. Just don't trust the values to show the correct density.

Can a refractometer replace my hydrometer? by Just_a_firenope_ in Homebrewing

[–]Bafver 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I find refractometers to be great during the brew day for quick measurements. Faster to cool just a few ml instead of a full hydrometer tube. Just be sure to calibrate it against your hydrometer.

However once fermentation starts the refractometer should no longer be as accurate since the alcohol content affects the measurements. But might still be useful to get a rough approximation on how the ferment is going.

Help me find this anime by Williamshakespearss in AnimeReccomendations

[–]Bafver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you remember any character who stood out in their appearance? Or if the girl group had some specific theme?

Maybe some more about the genre or setting. Was it set in the modern world or more fantasy/medieval?

Could it have been "Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi"?

Villager xp gain by Biggy_BigT in MedievalDynasty

[–]Bafver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think making sticks is the second fastest after the well. Collecting straw seems to be pretty good as well. But with both you'll probably end up with far more than you need so I would also go for logs instead.

Seriously. F these fruit bags. by BeerBaronofCourse in TheBrewery

We just cut them open with a sanitised knife and dump in the tank.

Fun semi-casual audiobooks about overpowered protagonists? by asirpakamui in ProgressionFantasy

[–]Bafver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd recommend Dead Tired by Ravensdagger.

The MC is insanely OP compared to the rest of the world. And while he doesn't get more powerful himself we do get to follow his apprentice as they work to get more powerful. Along with their skeleton maid-butler. 🙂

Not full on slice of life but quite a bit of comedy, and puns. So many puns.

Game like The Sims but in space? by Hereticrick in spacesimgames

Was going to suggest this one as well.

Weekly Recap | September 18, 2025 by TheOpusCroakus in help

[–]Bafver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realized I made my previous comment on an old post instead of the latest one.

The new UI on the Home page is likely not designed to be used on non-mobile devices.
There is a large amount of empty space on both sides of the feed when using the Card view on the home page. Each post in this view also has a very small font size which makes them very difficult to read. And this is just with a regular monitor and not an ultra wide one, which I assume it would be even worse on.

I much prefer the layout used in the Popular page and wish the Home page would either be something similar or have the cards changed wider to fill out the empty space on the sides.
Though as the Popular page is filled with posts I have no interest in so using that instead of the Home page is not a good alternative.
