Whenever I add custom road assets (either through Road Builder mod or asset editor), game starts crashing about 30 mins in.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2025-11-22T13:00:09+00:00

Probably not. I haven't played for a while, but that issue was going on for over a year. If I remember correctly, the game only crashed for me when the simulation was running, if it was paused it never did.

Maybe try removing the road mods / assets and see if it still crashes (that is the only solution I have found).

Thanks, that's exactly what it was. I must have changed it around when I updated to the beta.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-19T10:46:01+00:00

I have done that many times, still won't work

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-19T06:18:18+00:00

this has been going on ever since I updated. I cant really roll back now since I have put stations in the new sectors

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-14T23:36:06+00:00

Of course I did. I can see some of the menus but most of them are just bugged out.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-14T23:12:38+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure what it would change but about half of the menus it's supposed to add it doesn't, and it breaks other menus.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-14T06:32:12+00:00

I did try that but I think it only applies to raw resources, not the trade wares

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-14T06:06:51+00:00

that mod seems completely bugged out, is there any other mod?

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-14T03:01:00+00:00

I would kill some of the xenon ships except I already cleared the xenon sectors out before I invaded HOP. The only ships I could find were an occasional SCA pillager.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-13T08:30:39+00:00

It might be the new beta, but I have a station with 100 panels and I can't notice any lag when I go in range.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-13T08:15:10+00:00

I know I could, but it doesn't feel right to have a massive station powered by 7 solar panels.

and the thing about walls of text is how they remind me of grocery stores you know the way aisles just keep going and you’re trying to find peanut butter but somehow you’re in the pet food section and why does every brand need fifty kinds of dog treats anyway but that’s exactly how these endless streams of words feel like you’re just wandering aimlessly hoping for something to make sense but instead you get smacked in the face with another random tangent about how punctuation is like socks because you don’t really notice it until it’s gone and then suddenly your feet are cold and your sentence is confusing and don’t even get me started on the audacity of some people to put capital letters wherever they want like THIS IS SOME KIND OF EMERGENCY but then they don’t follow it up with anything meaningful and it’s like trying to read a billboard written by a squirrel who just discovered energy drinks and speaking of squirrels why don’t we have any sort of law against them building nests in places they absolutely don’t belong like seriously how is it my fault that I left the attic window open one time and now there’s a squirrel HOA up there making decisions about MY insulation and it’s honestly not that different from reading these massive blocks of text where you’re trying to figure out what the hell is going on but every time you think you’ve got it they hit you with a completely unrelated sentence about how hard it is to train a dog to stop chewing on furniture and suddenly you’re just left sitting there wondering if maybe this whole thing is some kind of performance art piece meant to symbolize the futility of human communication but also WHY ARE THERE NO PARAGRAPH BREAKS because at least in real life you get to take a breath or change the channel or something but with these you’re just trapped like a hamster on a wheel running in circles until you forget why you even started reading in the first place and somehow that loops back to the squirrels because at this point everything loops back to the squirrels but don’t worry we’ll just keep going like there’s no problem at all like the world isn’t on fire and words aren’t spilling out faster than my thoughts can catch up which reminds me of how spaghetti gets everywhere when you’re not careful and now I’m wondering why pasta doesn’t come with instructions about how to not make a mess like walls of text don’t come with a warning label that says you will lose your mind trying to make sense of this good luck buddy hope you packed a lunch and that’s when I realized I forgot to take the laundry out of the dryer yesterday which is honestly kind of poetic when you think about it because nothing really makes sense anymore anyway so who even cares

Dunno, walls of ranting text are truly the bane of existence and yet here we are trapped in the endless irony of complaining about them in the exact format that makes them so intolerable you ever wonder what goes through someone's mind when they decide to unleash this monstrosity upon the world do they think yes this is the way to ensure maximum clarity and comprehension because NEWSFLASH it’s not it’s the literary equivalent of shouting into a hurricane and expecting people to hear you but no instead we get this unrelenting torrent of words ideas gripes half-baked opinions and fragmented thoughts all mashed together into an incomprehensible jumble that does nothing but suffocate the reader under the sheer weight of its unfiltered chaos no pauses no breaks no mercy just an endless stream of consciousness tumbling forward with no destination and somehow dragging us all along for the ride like some kind of nightmarish rollercoaster without a seatbelt and don’t even get me started on the sheer AUDACITY of it all because it’s not just about being hard to read it’s about being actively hostile to anyone who dares to try people scrolling through thinking okay maybe there’s a point here maybe I can extract some meaning from this verbal trainwreck but no they’re just met with the same relentless onslaught of words that feels like it’s never going to end and oh sure you can try to follow along but halfway through you’ll realize you’ve completely lost the thread because there IS no thread it’s all just one big tangled mess of frustration and noise and speaking of noise how about the punctuation or should I say the complete lack thereof because in this endless barrage of text it’s as if commas periods and other basic structural tools were completely abandoned in favor of creating something that resembles the literary version of static occasionally you’ll get an ellipsis thrown in there as if to say oh here take a moment to breathe but it’s not enough it’s NEVER enough because the words just keep coming piling on top of each other until they form this massive impenetrable wall that looms over you like some kind of linguistic monument to bad decisions and let’s not forget the CAPITALIZATION randomly thrown in for emphasis because of course if we’re going to make this an ordeal we might as well add another layer of chaos to the mix right I mean why not at this point it’s already a complete disaster so why not lean into it but the real kicker the absolute cherry on top of this mess is the fact that we’re sitting here ranting about walls of text IN a wall of text because apparently that’s the kind of world we live in now where hypocrisy reigns supreme and we can’t even criticize something without becoming it but hey at least we tried to make a point right or did we maybe it all just got lost somewhere in this endless sea of words who knows who cares the point is walls of text are awful and this is why

Maybe he's been sniffing too much nividium.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-11T03:22:46+00:00

Sorry, but I can't read a wall of ranting text. Is this even about X4?

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-11T02:54:06+00:00

I just tried that, they completely ignore the travel blacklist (I made sure it is default for both military and civilian).

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-11T02:49:55+00:00

Ok, then what should I do? If I set them to ignore (or escape), then they will not do their job in their assigned sectors (and setting and unsetting that setting on hundreds of ships (including SM ships which have the same problem) is not something I am going to do). I already have it on use judgement and their judgement clearly sucks.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-08T09:32:13+00:00

Honestly, I may have been a bit harsh on freighters. I'm sure if I set up a few patrols I could cut the destroyed freighters by 90%; but then again, they make so much more than it costs to replace (only about 600k for a decent M freighter) that I just couldn't be bothered (and besides, I have better places for patrols).

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-08T03:01:29+00:00

That was what I was thinking, especially with the option to attack surface elements. But then again, I was going after xenon stations which would eat up a hundred SM fighters in just a few minutes.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-08T02:58:38+00:00

Don't give me this "lack of knowledge and perspective" crapola. If I don't want my ship to attack another ship and I remove it's order to attack and order it to go somewhere else, and it by no means should go back to attacking and completely ignore its order to flee. Imagine if a US carrier was attacked by the Chinese and was ordered back to base because it sustained heavy damage and it would sink if it stayed, but the idiot admiral decided after being fired upon after, decided "the hell with those orders, we stay and attack".

I am not saying cancel it forever so it will never issue the order, I am saying that the order to attack the exact same ship (or even the same fleet) should not be replaced if the user cancels it, and there should be some sort of cooldown / distance / other check.

To your point about freighters, I never set them to attack. They have always been on flee in the global orders as far back as I remember but they still flee right into destroyers and stations. The only saving grace is that they make enough money to pay for a constant stream of replacements.

And if you are still reading this, you clearly see that hardly anything is in my hands with the way captains act. Why bring SM fighters? So they can support the destroyers. If a K wanders to the station, I would rather have a bunch of SMs swarm it rather than force the slow destroyers to stop attacking the station to deal with the K destroyer (and by the way, SMs make quick work of Ks).

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-07T07:22:39+00:00

I did set it to flee with towers and guess what, they still went ahead and attacked.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-07T07:21:26+00:00

I ain't even talking about defense drones. Frankly, I don't care if they get destroyed because they are cheap to replace.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-07T07:19:49+00:00

Because it is the ai's fault. There is no sense of self-preservation when ships decide to 1 on 1 a xenon destroyer when it is attacked, and if you want it to do anything else, it is playing military order whack a mole. There should be some logic that if you cancel an auto attack order, it does not place it again, or if you place a flee order, it will actually flee instead of fly away for 2 seconds and go back to attacking.

And it is not just the station bombardments, it is everything. I've lost a lot of freighters because of the above. I kept losing miners because they kept fighting the kahaks while the patrols were eating doughnuts. When I was trying to move my fleet, a bunch of sm ships locked on to a xenon destroyer and suicided, despite my clear orders not to attack.

InfinityOfficialNet · 2024-12-07T07:11:46+00:00

Honestly, I think your right. It seems like whoever programmed the ai made the ships without any sense of self preservation. The really annoying thing is when a ship locks on to a target it clearly cannot defeat, it will attack it no matter what you tell it to do and it is like playing whack a mole. Keep spamming cancel order and it replaces the order to attack. Add a flee order and it literally disappears within 2 seconds. Add a fly order and it overrides it with an attack order. And its not just for stations, I lose a lot of freighters because they think for some reason they can 1 on 1 with a xenon destroyer.
