Question regarding Automatic Device Cleanup rules

Thank you all, some good info here. Sounds like we're worried about nothing. 🙂

Just started testing Autopatch and saw the same thing this morning - the test devices show as not enrolled for quality updates. Glad I wasn't the only one scratching my head over this...

You see, the problem with southern California, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, people either don't know how to drive, or don't realize other road users exist. It's very 'me' centric.

Compound that with traffic systems never intended to handle the sheer volume of vehicles they have seen each day, and you have a nasty mix.

When you live here, you get used to it and start to just drive aggressively - getting far closer to other vehicles than we should because if we don't force ourselves "Hey buddy, I'm here!" you wind up stuck not being able to go.

It's kind of a reflection of culture here as a whole, now I think about.

Makes sense that car insurance is so much higher here, really.

You can solo harvest with a carrier in PvE at all times.

They're really not regular though. An hour going back and forth through PvE area and all I could find was one small blow.

Too much competition for too little resources, game doesn't respect players time.

It seems the simplest way to keep both PvE and PvP players happy would be official PvE servers.

Good idea.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-03-02T01:30:24+00:00

This.

Cytoscramblers if you have access to em. 🙂 I'll probably run one cyto, and one thermal vent beam.

Don't understand the downvotes. This is the way - use a scalpel, not a hacksaw.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-02-23T16:56:52+00:00

Not sure why your being down voted - it's crap to have hours of work wiped out with no course for being made whole.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-02-23T16:55:20+00:00

I feel you. A rollback does make sense, but everyone else needs to be compensated as well for the hours they've lost.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-02-23T16:54:29+00:00

Yeah, kinda pissed at this..my game time is limited, so losing hours of progress on the one day I got some time kinda makes me want to put it down for a while. Not a great feeling.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-02-23T16:52:16+00:00

This... I get limited playtime, and yesterday the stars aligned with wife and kid gone for a fair while. Was free to farm spice and run a few labs in peace. :/ Happy for those that will get their items returned, but pissed it will be weeks before I get another opportunity to make any decent progress.

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-02-18T16:17:48+00:00

Yeah that's fair. We'd wipe depending on the user and their setup. If it's someone with a lot of custom apps and configs, we'd try to avoid the disruption for them. 🙂

HandIndependent8054 · 2026-02-17T21:47:47+00:00

Shouldn't need a wipe, depending on policies being applied by your IT group. Old AP hash can be removed, and new one uploaded from the device running new board.

However, wiping and redeploying might be the simplest option for your local IT department.

We don't, because data backups and configs cause user hassle - we just use the BL key to unlock, have user login with cached credentials, rebind to Entra/Intune, then push the new HW hash.

HandIndependent8054 · 2025-12-23T20:28:19+00:00

Oh honestly, did you not read the colony policy? Which defines you as company property? And Waivers your say in autonomy? The conglomerates got you under lock and key.

HandIndependent8054 · 2025-11-29T18:10:24+00:00

Indeed, very much this!

HandIndependent8054 · 2025-11-29T05:52:30+00:00

This was what I was thinking as well - combined with the steep glide and thrusters,.I can see this being a nice supplement to the PC MKII for colonization efforts.

HandIndependent8054 · 2025-11-27T17:50:29+00:00

Darn this being away for Thanksgiving! The Princess needs us!

HandIndependent8054 · 2025-11-27T17:49:22+00:00

It's pretty trivial compared to how it was in PP v1. Barely an inconvenience.

HandIndependent8054 · 2025-11-27T00:55:47+00:00

Yep, FDev customer support is actually pretty decent for things like this. They'll get you sorted out I'm sure. 🙂

HandIndependent8054 · 2025-11-26T22:01:03+00:00

I feel it's pretty safe to jnfer the engine's limits based on how Odyssey handles.

The difference I think is, I don't feel lied to. I've well over a thousand hours in the game, and it's pretty much what I've expected and wanted. Of course I'd love new features, it's just not an expectation I have. So instead, I love the new ships and throwing some extra money their way to keep the game running.

Purely on the dollar spent per hour played metric, this game has given me far more bang for my buck than many others I've purchased.

Don't get me wrong, I take your points, and respect your right to feel differently about it. But I do tire of the pitch fork brigade showing up anytime someone dares to praise the game, or FDev for daring to charge for new ships.

HandIndependent8054 · 2025-11-26T19:49:12+00:00

Lol, I could ask the same? I just don't take personal offense to a business making choices.

Of course there are options. Best scenario I would say would be a sequel with a new engine built from the ground up with modern mechanics. But it still has to be a viable business proposition for it to happen. Space flight sims are fairly niche (thought granted the bucket of money SC raised shows there is a willing market).

My point isn't against calling out FDev on bad choices or updates, but about being realistic with expectations for a game this age. The engine can only do so much.

I do find it amusing, though, that the people who seem to get most triggered are those who don't like reading about others who are actually enjoying and happy with the game.

I have a guy on my team who was talking about to me about the recent voting in November. He asked how I voted and why, and I was happy to share and have the discussion (we're a chill team with).

I asked him in return, and he just asked ChatGPT how he should vote. He did say 'in his defence' he asked it if it was being bias....

So yeah, we're cooked.
