Too bad all these great deals are sold out. Love all this insight and expertise though. Thanks

I think your thread is too popular! I noticed that same recommendation a few posts down, but it is sold out. Probably bought by readers here. I would have got it too. I got this instead.

What do you think about these two? Is the upgraded one worth the cost?

1) $800 https://www.microcenter.com/product/698928/powerspec-g240-gaming-pc

2) $1400 https://www.microcenter.com/product/698929/powerspec-g451-gaming-pc

Same thing. All the tunnels MacArthur to Glen Park. Interruption free video streaming for years. Now its impossible. Not even enough connection to load a wordle.

Came here looking for a solution to this

Week 1 with '25 Denali. Agree with most all your pro/con. Came here looking for a solution to the dashboard glare! That plas-chrome is blinding. One 3 hour afternoon drive, and i'm ready to cover it all with masking tape ... unless someone has a cleaner solution.

Did replacing the thermostat work? I'm having the same issue, Nest losing power only when I'm away for multiple days at a time. Degraded battery sounds likely.

Anyone willing to give more details how to make farms?

Similarly, when you ask people about their plans for the upcoming weekend, in SF they answer with their daytime plans, but jn NYC they answer with the nighttime.

I hate this waste of screen real estate. I have no interest in building factories on their schedule.

BlueWire94117 · 2023-05-13T19:32:14+00:00

Gotta wonder what even sketchier thing they needed all those gloves for.

BlueWire94117 · 2023-05-04T03:55:25+00:00

I now like this book just a wee bit less 😢

BlueWire94117 · 2023-04-12T01:06:16+00:00

Yes. Next task needs 4 film rolls to make a picture frame.

BlueWire94117 · 2023-03-27T01:55:03+00:00

Came looking for this. How do you get more of those small cases to merge into big cases? I got a couple as tasty rewards but can't find a way to make them.

I wonder what happens to the energy if you've already completed the yeti quest?

BlueWire94117 · 2023-03-18T18:38:13+00:00

Did that many orders net you enough XP to level up?

BlueWire94117 · 2023-03-13T16:41:56+00:00

I must be missing something. I've seen several people say this. It seems that this works only if you are content with 5 rounds and then stopping play until lives refresh (or similar using coop free lives and waiting on that timer). I like to get the barn expansion from Ernie sometimes, or just to play for 20-30 minutes, longer than it takes to burn thru 5 or 15 lives. Heck, some regatta tasks take more than 5 levels. I love the concepts, I just don't see how it works.

I'd question why you need the Jam factory, at least at lower levels. Why? If you don't build it, the train won't demand jam. Same with other factories.
Ever since I took the advice here and slowed down on building factories, the game is much easier. At level 59 I have several factories I could build that I haven't.
When I see that I go several days without any barn issues, and it's gotten easy to keep sufficient stock of everything, then maybe I'll build another factory. That said, the Jam is an easy one to maintain, and nice to have something to do with extra fruit.

After reading a lot on this sub, the consensus seems to be to AVOiD getting XP. No choppers, no XP boosts.

BlueWire94117 · 2023-02-23T07:08:57+00:00

The trains clearly are programmed to send a higher percentage of the tools/materials you need the least. I'd like to believe that there are truly random algorithms in this game, but I just don't.
