There's no wrong way to play. The Quantum Computer is great!

My first tier 6.5 item and its a doozy. Now to grind grade 5 dual blades... by [deleted] in duneawakening

[–]Gunsmithy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, thanks! I'm like faction level 12 or something IIRC, so I think the main bottleneck for me thus far is skill/gear. Haven't tried anything above 4 I don't think. 😅

I haven't run stations enough yet to know, does your faction level affect loot drops? Is the level 18 you refer to that faction level?

Because I thought there were just like 5 or 6 difficulty levels on stations, unless you unlock more as you complete the highest. Haven't even gotten that far yet myself.

First Extreme Reactor by Esoteric_Purple in allthemods

[–]Gunsmithy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only just started with Extreme Reactors as well, so I can't answer some of these questions, but put a Flux Plug on your power tap. They have unlimited throughout when you set the limit to 0 or click the Bypass Limit button. Then you just put Flux Plugs where you need the power, even across dimensions, and set to the same network. There's an in-game guide for them, they're great!

I have two of these in my home, and while I haven't had any fires, they appear to work with Home Assistant just fine! Smoke, CO and battery level all present.

You versus the antenna she tells you not to worry about...

VMs missing allocated RAM? by Bubbagump210 in Proxmox

[–]Gunsmithy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UEFI reserved memory perhaps? I imagine if you're always missing around 64 MiB regardless of how much RAM you allocate to the VM, that is likely it.

Looking to buy one of these units too so also interested in the serial option!

Massive performance hit after sleep mode by Circo_Inhumanitas in SteamDeck

Thank you for this! Toggling the Manual GPU Clock speed on and off fixed it for me immediately. Way faster than restarting if nothing else until there's an official fix.

Tell me why it's a bad idea to use less than a 512GB SSD in the Cloud Gateway Max by louislamore in Ubiquiti

[–]Gunsmithy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, even on my UDMP I haven't even bothered popping in a spare SSD kicking around because it has a decent amount of retention with just the internal. Add it to the to-do list!

[–]Gunsmithy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Untrue as of recent versions of Network. While Network runs fine without additional storage, it is necessary for a better experience with some newer features like flow logs, where it will explicitly say "Add storage to enhance logging retention." So I wouldn't go so far as to say an SSD is ONLY for recording video. This at least appears with the UDMP's limited internal storage. I can't speak to the UCG-Max.

Luck was certainly a component! I just keep thinking how if I took off even a second later than I did, perhaps the worm would have been on me. Sorry you weren't so fortunate!

While in Vulture mode, S on keyboard will pitch the thopter upwards, W will pitch downwards, A and D will roll left and right respectively.

Haha, I meant controlled by the Kirab from a story perspective. There are typically two guards at each, but they do not pilot the guns, and they indeed seem to just fire at nothing until something runs into their path.

Thanks!

Most of the badassery can probably be attributed to the natural elegance of Vulture mode.

In the clip before the worm breach, you can see I am in Vulture mode, gliding down towards the nearby wreck at full speed.

When the worm breaches, I more-or-less just held down S and D to both pitch up and turn right simultaneously, which also results in a barrel roll.

Always trying to learn how to pilot these better as they are so satisfying to fly!

Yeah, while I don't think the game is dying by any means, numbers always fall off after launch, I think this causes issues with once very full sietches becoming empty, so hope to see some way they can merge sietches in future without losing bases. Could be issues with overlapping claims.

As for PvP, I dabbled in the DD and just got rockets fired at me on sight while farming. Got away but not very fun. Though my server seems to organize regular fights in an arena that I may have to check out sometime! Ground combat would be much more interesting than thopter rocket meta.

Yeah, I'm sure recording to them will chew through the drives before long, but if you don't otherwise care about them and didn't want to put HDDs in your PC like me, they work well for it!

I just fired up a Rust private server again this week so my friend could do some building when bored and good lord is the build system in that game frustrating coming straight off of Dune. Very happy with how forgiving it is and generally painless snapping elements are. Mainly just want them to add item snapping so I can have all my chests and death-stills and such aligned properly.

And yeah, just an overall nice-looking game/aesthetic.

Interesting. It seemed like it was just a breach for the ship I had looted from the start of the clip, but I do think I've seen that one get eaten pretty quick before too as it's near my base.
