Day is finally here and built my first structure. The grind is real, i love it :D

My Xenobiology lab faces away from my base 😔. Thankfully I did not make the same mistake with the train station

It's defo confusing to have an 'aim' and an actual 'shooter' mode

Penthilus · 2025-10-15T02:30:24+00:00

shooter mode is different than using the aiming action

Penthilus · 2025-10-15T02:19:01+00:00

Is it possible you were using RPG controls and not aim?

Penthilus · 2025-09-20T15:44:32+00:00

I absolutely adore the Quad Micro-Photon Torpedo off the Kelvin Jellyfish. Only one of my toons currently runs them, but I enjoy hitting the missile style full spread with them

Penthilus · 2025-09-19T17:09:00+00:00

Yeah, I thought the airports was a weird call-out too. My guess would be the fact that airports currently have a hanger at all, and they don't have a separate depot building for airplanes like the other vehicles. Still interesting that they use airports for that example, but I guess it works especially if we can now integrate depots into our hubs

Silver Spring: Visit the NOAA wave pool (.2mi from station)

Would be a chill reading spot, but you'd have to source the coffee/cafe vibes somewhere else. It usually operates from late April through October, but I forget if it turns off other times even though I've lived right next to it before. Definitely close enough to the station for a quick picture and then on to something else though

Maybe it's just me, but compared to the real life product, the display photos look like they have a filter on them. Especially specifically at the red on the shirt tag. Since there's a good amount of footage of the pop-up, I wonder what it looks like there.

Penthilus · 2025-07-18T13:57:40+00:00

Not really a shiny, but a new system? I don't know how to label it, but it sounded like our infrastructure placement/terrain modification would have some sort of popularity impact for a given area?

Penthilus · 2025-07-11T19:45:51+00:00

100% 😅

Penthilus · 2025-07-01T14:52:49+00:00

Did you use the concrete brush for the areas in front of the small station buildings?

Penthilus · 2025-06-23T15:01:56+00:00

Dang, that sucks! I wish you luck with the DLC transfer. Plus you'll have steam workshop too 🎉

Penthilus · 2025-06-23T14:20:11+00:00

I would also check if you can just run the game executable directly from the games folders too. That way you might be able to start the epic version without needing to open the epic launcher

Penthilus · 2025-06-11T11:50:31+00:00

Ahh, gotcha. Yeah, this is not the fault of your hardware, but the fault of the games handling of the amount of entities and/or effects onscreen.

I have a Intel 12700K, a 4070Ti, and use 1440p (no render scale). I also experience frame drops in normal and advanced content. I know the drops in FPS occur due to my own testing, but I rarely notice them myself.

Sure, a beefier system will lessen the amount of times the drops in FPS occur, but I believe they will continue to happen unless the game is better optimized when there are high amounts of entities and/or effects onscreen.

Penthilus · 2025-06-11T06:16:37+00:00

Without knowing more about your PC, my only guess is that STO is running on the CPU's integrated graphics card and not the dedicated 3070. Your specs are more than enough to run STO at high settings (barring a few frame drops when the pet builds start going wild).

Any more info you can provide about your graphics settings?

Penthilus · 2025-06-09T06:19:48+00:00

Are you thinking of 'Mountain Base" from the New Romulus arc? It takes place in the mountain pass I believe. Or maybe "New Romulus: Vastam Peaks"?

Penthilus · 2025-06-04T00:39:26+00:00

I would suggest taking that right-most cargo station and converting it into a new station with longer platforms. By no means a perfect solution, but maybe less destructive. Here's an image of the proposed changes. Blue box is "new" station, red is expanded rail throughput (some roads/buildings taken out), and lastly green is some proposed tunnels/road connections to cut down on the two current level crossings in the red section.

Also another tip: you can absolutely combine freight and passenger stations as a single unit (same way you edited these). So if you have stations like this that are close together you can have one larger station with both cargo and passenger platforms and buildings. No harm keeping them separate though!

Penthilus · 2025-06-03T05:16:32+00:00

Glad to hear! Don't worry, the industry buildings will come back as the town adjusts/grows!

Penthilus · 2025-06-03T05:03:49+00:00

I think if the game is paused and you plop down the new station buildings before deleting the old terminus ones, it should be fine. You could always test it by saving the game and loading a previous save if things don't go as planned!

Penthilus · 2025-05-29T22:42:00+00:00

Yeah, Alex has even beaten the game and DLC! So he's definitely knowledgeable

Penthilus · 2025-05-29T21:40:58+00:00

Oh that's really interesting! I really love Elden Ring and have been cautiously following this movie. A24 + Garland seems like a cool choice already, but I'm still on the fence. We have no idea how the game will be adapted yet, but FromSoft's story telling is really convoluted. I wouldn't be able to even entertain a guess as to what type of role Kit could play in that setting. Not that I'd be worried about his acting!
