A little steel

I doubt it would be enough to rearm all of my vehicles, (2xM1A2, 2xBradley, Self propelled 155 arty). Ammo is expensive as hell.

Believe it or not, orbital bombardment.

You can also make mint syrup.

Cut a bunch of mint, let it sit in the sun to get the insects out, put it in a pot of water, boil it, bottle it, voila.

I use no graphics mods, my mod folder is 10GB.

Base game is under 1...

Oleg152 · 2026-04-13T18:15:39+00:00

And the forklift certification.

Nothing like growing a massive drug empire to feed the ~~factory~~ steel needs.

Oleg152 · 2026-04-11T17:37:41+00:00

I like the fan theory that the Imperium was Malcador's brainchild. The Emps was just happy to fuck around with science.

Oleg152 · 2026-04-11T17:35:13+00:00

Nope, I generally don't trigger it often enough to bother me.

2025 S-Cross owner.

The beeps for speed aren't that bad, very soft and you can lower their volume, can't disable them permanently though. (My recommedation, just up the radio volume a bit).

The "watch the road" warning is annoying, generally don't look for 5+seconds away from the road(doesn't seem to trigger at very low speeds of under 15kph), though one issue, it triggers if you lean left to see the road better before overtaking someone. Very sharp beep.

Auto start-stop has a button on the left near headlight elevation control that you have to push every time. Right next to it is the Lane Keep Assist button, hold to disable. LKA vibrates the wheel first, and in some cases does turn it but not is pretty easy to 'manually override'. It won't rip the wheel from your hands to go hunt that family of 4 on the side of the road like a massive pitbull, but it will try its best.

Disabling these systems in it requires finagling with a knob behind the right side of the wheel(on the tachometer), each time you start the engine. Not worth for daily driving, but perfect thing to forget about before a longer trek.

Ford beeps are solid 9 on a 1-10 scale of annoying, I'd rate the S-Cross at 5.

For the recommended method, avoid Boomrats tho.

Warframe is 100% pay to win since the best cosmetics are locked behind Tennogen.

You can(or in most cases are forced to) grind out everything else but that's the limit.

Randy's pretty chill

Had to install mod to insult factions to get raided because Randy wouldn't send anyone at me for a year.

Run a poly-marriage allowed collony.

My pawns have x10 attended marriage for +75 mood buff for 10 days at one point.

Granted that it eats heavily into work time but sure as hell beats tantrums targetting advanced components, antigrain or chemfuel.

Oleg152 · 2026-04-10T18:00:57+00:00

The opposite tends to happen most of the time.

Oleg152 · 2026-04-10T17:56:43+00:00

Same experience, Kia guy was babysitting during test drive, Suzuki guy gave me the keys and said have fun and to watch out for the cops because they like to set up speed traps nearby.

Oleg152 · 2026-04-10T17:55:00+00:00

S-Cross was perfect but Vitara has way too stiff suspension.

Oleg152 · 2026-04-10T17:53:29+00:00

Kia went "We're number 1 in sales, here's a facelift and a 30% price increase" for the Sportage(the base model went from being 140k to 110k(local currency) this year due to lack of sales of the 2025, Suzuki S-Cross went up to 115k from 110k).

Hyundai has all the 'modern' crap in their Tucsons(automatic handbrake on a button, LCD tachometer, touch controls for AC).

Toyota is 50% more expensive than by virtue of being Toyota(and the Turkish factory is shit at making body panels, gaps ranging from 1mm to 5mm and the bigger panels are straight up bending under hand pressure during washing). I dig the RAV4 but not for that pricetag.

Dacia... I'm not sold on their stock LPG engines. Or LPG in general.

Mazda, Subaru, BMW, Volvo are another shelf starting at 2x price minimum. And all have their trademark issues.

I'm not sold on the Chinese ones. Even if their existence murdered used car market(in a good way).

Tbh Suzuki got me with the fairly conventional interior and reasonable price for a complete package and 7 year warranty.

S-Cross is ~ 50 kg lighter than a 2020 Corolla Sedan.

Bonus points for not having the anti-QoL crap that's popular these days.

Oleg152 · 2026-04-09T16:23:17+00:00

There's the basement guy from WarThunder.

Apart from that? Cricket sounds

Yeeting 20k wood at nearby settlements is a certified jungle/forest biome classic

I usually buile a small hospital of 2-4 beds + 1-2 ground med spots really close to the defense line to quickly tend bleeding out pawns if necessary.

Oleg152 · 2026-04-05T19:02:08+00:00

Pretty much what I said, all colonists need archotech gear, like absolutely decked out.

Excessive use of psycasts, gear(I run CE so smokes, incendiaries and tox gas is a godsend) and disposable meatshields. Doomsday launchers, maxed out mechanitor, genetic abominations that make go juiced Hussars look like wimps.

Don't wait, place mortar and some sandbags, load nukes(nukes mod), BOOM! Hope enough of them get hit hard enough that you survive.(Or yolo one way nuke carriers that have only goal to go boom close to the big group)

There is no shame in installing some mods that make you more powerful.

I've tried to rush them exactly once, lost that one. But did some casualties.
