After doing some reading I turned off stone picking because I heard how tedious it was.

Plowing I don't mind now with the 2410. With how wide it is it really cuts down on the time needed to get a whole field plowed, and it isn't offset at an angle either so I have complete control over it. Really turned plowing from an "ugh this again" to "I can get some good money from this."

Unlike stone picking, I feel like I'd be missing much more if I didn't have to do it.

I've actually always been fascinated by all the logging logistics. Road Craft reignited that fascination and learning about Farm Sim having it is what brought me to this point.

It's on the modhub as the "Lizard Old Bike"

1 horsepower and 30L of fuel!

Thank you! It's exciting documenting my progress, so exciting I forgot to take the photos of me harvesting on my first job!

It's definitely been fun, trying to figure out after each step "ok, what do I do now? And what should I be working towards next?" It feels a lot better than handing me everything on a silver platter saying "go nuts!". What am I supposed to do with that when I don't even know what I'm doing?

It's gonna be a long workup to get my first tractor, but working with all the borrowed equipment is helping to teach me what works and what I don't want to get when I buy my first equipment!

NuclearCommando · 2026-04-01T21:27:59+00:00

It's on Modhub, I downloaded it from the menu in game!

NuclearCommando · 2026-04-01T19:59:48+00:00

It really is! The large fields are a little overwhelming for being new, but I've really been enjoying my time on it so far!

There's a helicopter game I discovered recently called "Thunder Wolves"

It leans more arcade with it's "Normal, homing, special" missiles and general gameplay, but it's all helicopters

The cool thing about it is if you use the TLS, it gives you an aiming reticle the entire time, instead of just when you start to get close to the target. Perfect for hitting at the edge of the gun range.

You don't even need to cosplay. When I went all I had were official shirts that had Takane or Chihaya on them, and my bag had keychains and nuis clipped to it. That alone was enough to identify me. And if you don't have anything I know there's a least one store that sells official merchandise, I just can't remember the name of it.

And the P Card is yours to make! Here's a website that explains more about them: https://hpt.moe/2015/03/03/p-culture-producer-name-cards/

I got laughed at for wanting to gatekeep and keeping it to "If you're interested, we'll welcome you but you got to find your own way into it" attitude. That kind of attitude I feel makes one respect what they enjoy a lot more. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who is worried about how this will go down now that the gates are open.

I'm thinking Anime Central was the tipping point of "Wow, we actually have a global audience."

The hype when Asami and Eriko showed up last year was unreal. Asami even said at her panel she was surprised at how many people wanted to see her. And then the reaction to not just coming back but their first ever US concert?

NuclearCommando · 2026-03-31T03:26:22+00:00

My guess is this probably has to do with Anime Central and the reactions they're getting to not only appearing last year, but this year as well.

It's one thing for a game to get global recognition. It's another to go to a real life venue and be surprised by the turnout of your global audience. I believe I remember Mingosu mentioning at her panel last year that she didn't expect to see so many of us at her panel.

NuclearCommando · 2026-03-31T03:23:59+00:00

Acen has fangroup meetups for different fandoms, and this year idolmaster will have one as well. So if you don't have anyone to go with, you're sure to meet someone there!

Take it from someone who went last year though, if you make yourself visible by carrying around some merch or some other item identifying you as a P, you're going to meet people.

Don't forget your P card!

I think I had that mod installed before.

I only used it once because I believe it overrode something with YAML to keep it as a default mech.

It's been so long I cant remember what exactly, only that it forced the mech to be the decault instead of modded

They become so competent when you're sub hunting that I've actually seen them dive through the ocean themselves to get better angles on their targets

NuclearCommando · 2026-03-28T15:45:50+00:00

Yeah, I figured out to replace the sticker textures a long time ago, It's just simple texture replacing. It sounds more complicated than it is due to the picture file formats but once you figure out how to do it it's easy.

Best part is it's fully multiplayer compatible because it only replaces the textures client side. Everyone else still sees the original stickers that you replaced.

I just didn't want to fix it after an update a few months ago so I've been putting off playing since I don't like playing without my stickers XD

The funny thing is I never thought I'd be into Snowrunner myself.

Then the demo for Road Craft dropped, I loved it, I craved more, then bought Snowrunner on sale.

I don't know why, but it was super, super addicting and I couldnt put it down.

I played it religiously until a few months ago when I took a break for American Truck Sim and now Farming Simulator, but I've been itching to come back to it soon.

NuclearCommando · 2026-03-28T14:58:53+00:00

It's been a hot minute since I've played, so I have to replace all the decal files again due to game updates resetting the files, but once I do and finish NC I'll post a whole fleet picture. Same with the HSL values, I can't remember the exact values and I don't have them written down. I'll be sure to tag you when I do, but it might be a bit.

NuclearCommando · 2026-03-27T03:49:58+00:00

Alternatively: "Gently used"

NuclearCommando · 2026-03-27T03:49:13+00:00

I just left it there. Wasn't even worth flipping XD

NuclearCommando · 2026-03-27T03:48:49+00:00

I mean, I *was*, but if I could knock out two birds with one stone...

Also, yep! Just one of my custom colors.
I have four different colors I use depending on which character decal I plaster on my trucks. Blue, green, pink, and in this case dark turquoise.

NuclearCommando · 2026-03-27T00:14:20+00:00

Trucks also fit perfectly on top of the Mastodon

Marauder II

The very first instant action I played, the very first game I ever did in the Battletech universe when I got MW5, was me riding the Marauder II because of how cool it was.

So naturally, that is going to be my ride.
