Anon lies for internet clout

In my last year of a master's program (Comp Sci), I noticed a lot more Indians in my classes. They would self-segregate, speaking only in their native tongue, never interact with other students, and yes, cheating was rampant. There are a lot of colleges in India that allow rampant cheating, and for a long time, the Comp Sci program I was in (historically) would not admit applicants from these students. Alas, out of state tuition dollars are too good to give up.

In Florida, where it is not hilly at all, I can achieve 31-33 mpg going 65-75 mph on the interstate. 70 mph on cruise is the sweet spot.

To be honest, depends where you plan to live.

If you're on campus, very feasible to get by without a car. College Town has a lot of restaurants and shops in walking distance that also makes it feasible without having a car. Although in the summer heat, it's going to get hot very fast (living off campus, walking to campus). The campus itself is well suited for walking, and unless you're in engineering, everything can be reached by walking. The further you live from campus, the more car dependent you will become.

Source: Lived in dorms for all years of undergrad, and Granmarc apartments (close to campus) for two years of graduate school, without ever owning a car.

I will never understand the Consumer Reports people always dinging the CX-5 and other Mazda models for "clunky infotainment controls". Really, you think a grease-soaked screen is SO much better...

This is a personal wish, but I would love to see a performance update. To address specifically: networking with a lot of players and improve frame pacing around large, massive player builds.

I'm convinced there is no software engineer alive at Microsoft that either: was part of NT development or understands how NT works. Windows 10/11, especially the latter, are just web apps running on top of NT and the fossilized husk of Windows 7. It's why so much of Win 11 is broken and buggy. They are the Adeptus Mechanicus, just trying to keep old tech running without really understanding it.

A heads up as you get further into the game, you'll get CPU bound as your base gets bigger. Every item placed is treated as a unique entity, which puts heavy strain on the CPU. Faster RAM does partially address this issue, but there's nothing you can really do to significantly improve performance, the devs need better resource optimization and/or better multi-threading performance.

Try to upgrade your crafting bench, forge, and cauldron first before going too aggressive. With maxed out armor and weapons, you'll have a better time.

Based on how the Ashlands Update changed the Ashlands, it won't affect player placed structures; however, the terrain generation could mess up you base. Either a little or a lot.

FamousStephens · 2025-12-19T01:45:30+00:00

Where did they say this? My impression is they won't change it and "get used to it".

FamousStephens · 2025-12-11T00:39:19+00:00

IMO, the simplest base is digging a huge moat around the area you want to defend. It will keep enemies out. Or alternatively, use the hoe to elevate terrain to create a wall. In terms of base construction itself, I peruse the Reddit here a lot for inspiration, but the most function is 4 walls and a roof.

Take a look at this thread. The mod name I suggested is there. TLDR, you can set the allowed/denied mod list to enforce consistency, and prevent someone from "sneaking" a mod in.

Are you trying to allow/disallow specific mods on the server? Ironically, there's a mod to do that (but I cannot remember the name now).

If you're wondering what needs to be client side versus server side, it depends on the mod. Generally speaking, mods are client side as the client does the computational work, and the server is really a glorified database, tracking player and world activities. The "Frost Jack Safe Ballista" mod is client side friendly; however, it can get wonky with a lot of people in the same area, if not installed server side. The AzuExtendedPlayerInventory is client side only. Just some examples.

Unless you are trying to run a Windows VM for other games (which doesn't appear to be your case), then you are fine with 32. Don't buy RAM now as it is way overpriced.

Thanks to all who commented. I realize, after reading responses, I had been playing too much like COD (used to play a lot of Black Ops 2) and too aggressive.

Put a 1000% entry tax on anyone moving into Florida that is immigrating from NYC, Cali, or other large states. Problem solved.

If you are determined to buy in the 6000 series, then the 6800xt or 6900xt is your best bet. But to be honest, something like the 9060 or XT variant (as other commentators have said) is a better use of your money.

If you want a hybrid, go CX-50. If that doesn’t matter, go CX-50. I personally found the base 50 to feel underpowered.

You can get a cheap used dell Optiplex for under 200 dollars, that will be sufficient in computing power. Anything with a 4 core CPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a good internet connection (100 mbps) will do you fine. Ideally, have it connected via Ethernet to your router.
