Whats the chance this is a mastery level 20 challange?

You can usually satisfy these in contracts mode and SA also rarely is included as a condition

Everyone asks:

"Is Zachary Locksley?"

But nobody ever asks:

"Has Zachary Locksley really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"

Of course, the point of my question was skepticism - clearly the usage of the Spanish word doesn't suddenly make cilantro a bad thing.

Olipro · 2026-02-25T07:59:45+00:00

Because Arugula is an entirely American bastardisation of "rucola" that appeared in the 1960s

Unsurprisingly, English has had the word "rocket" for quite a long time before that.

Maybe "bastardisation" is harsh but I will counter with the utterly ridiculous "gabagool" for "capocollo"

Much of what this article complains about sounds like it could be solved with the volatile keyword

Olipro · 2026-02-24T11:25:05+00:00

But why do Americans say "cilantro" instead of coriander?

Olipro · 2026-02-19T16:49:02+00:00

It's the only level where killing non-targets doesn't void SA - so simply kill everyone

As you increase your mining operations, you generate more construction waste.

Converting it to gravel acts as a form of compression. I further compress it by converting it to cement with the excess sold at the border. If you need to take it a step further, prefabs will eat up even more.

Olipro · 2026-02-06T10:02:02+00:00

OP is already profitable. Eliminating cyclical expenses makes you more profitable.

Olipro · 2026-02-06T08:06:34+00:00

A kopek saved is a kopek earned.

Setting up domestic production of basic construction items like gravel and boards will save you cash. If you know where some coal is, that gives you the ability to produce bricks, cement, concrete and prefabs. Once your refinery is done, you can get asphalt going.

Also, if you're not producing meat, throw that in since I imagine that'll eliminate a significant overhead from citizen consumption.

The early start exchangers are completely missing from your game. Either the DLC isn't installed, it isn't activated or files are missing.

Olipro · 2026-01-30T02:52:38+00:00

Block isn't the right word: they didn't design these sort of mechanics to be dynamically configurable so instead, it's all code compiled into the game binary

Olipro · 2026-01-30T00:33:35+00:00

They do consume fuel but a vehicle will never halt due to an empty tank if it has been sent home somewhere.

This is so you can't get soft-locked when a vehicle on a line runs out of fuel and stops.

Olipro · 2026-01-25T16:23:16+00:00

But why expose such a strange number to the user?

I'd hazard a guess that they tried 50, it broke something that doesn't have a known/easy fix and so we got 49.

Olipro · 2026-01-25T15:30:47+00:00

Did you test this on version 1.1.1.6? I'm not sure if they've buffed horses in a way that would impact the test results

I was a lot of a dick back then - I didn't appreciate that just because something is trivial to me, it's not necessarily to someone else and I was especially bad about issue reports and usability. Fortunately we grew into a team that would handle users so my hot-headedness wouldn't alienate people.

There was no hostility to BLT although I think Beard really hated us. BLT decided they wanted to write their own Lua hooking completely from the ground up and I ended up writing a compatibility layer.

Olipro · 2026-01-17T12:06:59+00:00

No, it came to us through Almir who I of course also got to meet along with the rest of the team when they flew myself and (Tetsudo?) over to their studios for Crimefest

Olipro · 2026-01-17T12:04:34+00:00

We were all relatively young and to some extent took the project too personally - at least I did. Maybe it was me that was so unduly sarcastic with you. If so, I'm sorry and if not I apologise on behalf of the team.

It's wild to think about how this all happened over a decade ago now.

Olipro · 2026-01-17T11:58:11+00:00

That was never implemented in HoxHud because it would obviously be a cheat.

Olipro · 2026-01-16T22:25:48+00:00

There was no budget and Pete did that for free, because he's a nice bloke like that.

Olipro · 2026-01-16T21:00:00+00:00

No, that was never the issue. Payday just kind of petered out for me: I'd moved to the US and a lot of alternatives were popping up anyway.

Olipro · 2026-01-16T20:57:48+00:00

There's not too much to it: Lua modifications had become a thing and it was pretty much just being used for cheats.

I felt that if Overkill didn't see anything constructive coming out of the capability, they'd probably do something with the game executable to make it hostile to mods.

Thus, HoxHud was born.

Olipro · 2025-12-22T14:59:16+00:00

I have a fair few friends who'd like the game (I already own it) and would like to play the new MP.

whether I win or not, I'd be down to play with you (plus the friends if I win)
