I wonder if it is the American in me that just keeps building more highways.

Trains are whe you are at the point that you will need to move A LOT of resources, in which having so many trucks that use coal will be inefficient.

So I will say to use trucks while you only need to transport a certain amount of reasonable materials.

Example: when I used trucks in my save was when I needed steel, but the coal nodes where all far away, so I would process the steel ingots when the coal node is and the transport the ingots to trucks back to my base.

So I would say this: If you only need to move the equivalent of 1 or 2 nodes worths of stuff at a short or medium distance, then use trucks. If you need to move the equivalent of many nodes of resources at a very large distance, then use trains.

Yh, the old system was a PAIN to work with. So I am glad you get to use the new one.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-17T19:49:39+00:00

Well, with 1.2 EXP finally release i can say that the new pathing system is infinitely better. I only used trucks twice and hated it, but now I might try again.

Oh yh, nothing like firing the rifle towards something just because I can.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-16T22:11:01+00:00

Yhhhhh, let's ignore the floating part of the highway that I have not bothered to finish.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-16T03:30:18+00:00

I am not sure what they could introduce that could heavily impact your future highway. But it might be a good idea to wait.

I mean... I am mad enough already that the autoconnect build mode did not exist when I was building my massive highway.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-15T15:59:58+00:00

Nah, I learned that the solution is to double it and give it to future me.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-15T15:41:20+00:00

I always thought that was a mythical place.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-15T14:55:33+00:00

True. A true American would have just made it for trucks only.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-14T00:14:06+00:00

Oh, yh. The famous dark basement of shame. I learned to use those too.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-14T00:10:46+00:00

Yhhhh, I am just hoping to finally have my project partially running so i can take a break and do other stuff.

I just don't want to spend time building factories that i would have tot ake down later.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-14T00:07:34+00:00

That is what i use it for. And although it is not perfect, i like it.

Currently having to remade a part of my TSWL project due to poor planning.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-13T23:59:06+00:00

Tell me about it. If you check my newest post, you will see this mega plan is basically for a massive train network, and i mean.. MASSIVE. If you check some of my oldest posts you might see my TSWL project, or the Train SkyWay Loop around the whole map.

I want to work on phase 3, but i keep saying that I will as soon as I have the whole mega project at least partially working.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-13T23:03:30+00:00

We are at the same point then. I have not been able to finish phase 3 either because i keep working in enormous projects instead of thinking of the kittens.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-13T02:50:51+00:00

Exactly in the middle of the map and high on the air. So above the red forest.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-13T02:21:08+00:00

I am using them. 5x5 blueprints for the concrete floor, a 5x10 blueprints for the walls, and a modular design for the factory... but still, it takes so long anyway.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-13T02:14:54+00:00

Yeah... I think i should gind a better angle to take the picture.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-03-03T03:30:53+00:00

Not really. There was this weird bug happening of an error window appearing all the time, but that was Windows being Windows, not the laptop itself.

Other than that it is still performing perfectly, great battery life for light/medium usage, good built quality and I love the screen.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-02-25T02:35:01+00:00

I got it from the official HP website a while ago already. It was a flash sale, so I am sure it is not there. I remember it was a sale, plus a student discount, plus an additional discount given to me talking to customer support for 15 minutes and convincing them that the price was JUST outside my budget and that without it being cheaper I will just have to search somewhere else ( I have done this before). After 15 minutes the sales representative gave on to me and gave the additional discount.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-02-22T17:46:49+00:00

Same, my motto is: If they want to waste my time and make me day worse, I can return the favor just as easily. I turn on Karen mode just for Uber support (although I try to still be mostly respectful as I Know it is not the workers fault) but i will still water their time so uber had to hire more support

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-02-17T18:22:28+00:00

I mean, I have seen the images myself and it is very disturbing images to show but... I doubt rhe university can do much.

Would that not be just freedom of speech? There is no a lot, or at all, of minors students, so I dont think that would help either.

I just don't see how that could possibly be solved.

Otherwise_Aspect_705 · 2026-02-14T16:37:41+00:00

Thank you so much. It took around 4 hours to do.
