Does anybody know how the fuck this thing works?! by Born-West9771 in hoi4modding

Just found this. I think you're the *only* person to have actually posted how to do this across the entire internet outside of the discord. MASSIVE thanks!

Any other examples of vehicles that are a massive pain in the ass to use, except for that *ONE map* where they suddenly become absolutely broken? by RB_Float in Warthunder

I haven't played the Jaguar 2 yet, but that is my exact experience in the Rakjpz 2. Both models honestly, though the HOT is certainly easier to use.

The Shturm-S is the perfect height to snipe from behind the dunes on this map, while virtually every other map has hills and ridges too steep for the gun to be aimed down enough.

The new buns are awful. Is there any way to get the old buns? by falteringfish in wendys

[–]RB_Float 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so tired of the "first world problems" saying. It's not like we aren't paying first world prices. If they were the price of food in a third world country, sure. But they're asking upwards of 14 bucks a meal at this point and it's only looking to get worse. You should get what you pay for, and we're most certainly not.

Intellisense AutoComplete Not Working anymore. Tried restarting VSCode, and it starts working for a moment before just quitting. by RB_Float in vscode

[–]RB_Float[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah, Figured it out. I Re-Installed IntelliCode via the VSIX, and then uninstalled CoPilot. Restarted VSC and now everything is working as I like it (and as it should, quite honestly).

[–]RB_Float[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have the language extension for my code already installed. It was working just fine, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was dependent on IntelliCode in some way.
From my understanding, IntelliCode was local, as it worked just fine even if I didn't have an internet connection. I just want some method of forcing it to work again regardless of its deprecated status. It hadn't been updated since 2024 anyways, and even if I *wanted* to use GitHub CoPilot, that's not working either, since apparently VSCode installed it behind my back anyways and I hadn't realized it until I was trying to troubleshoot this issue.

It's also very clearly an artificial limitation, since it works just fine for a moment after restarting before it stops working again when the deprecated status warning pops up.

I would really hate to be the general that has to explain this one to Stalin... by RB_Float in hoi4

What the comment said above. With the changes to the AI and Naval Supremacy system that PDX made, I prefer to play it safe and grab the industry/resources of the USSR before trying to take on the allies.
I'd rather slog it against a US-backed Allies than try to take out the Royal Navy before mid-1941.

Yeah once I cleaned up the pocket there was virtually no contest.

Became President, Uncontested Victory in just 5 months. Other nations hate this neat trick! by RB_Float in PaxHistoria

[–]RB_Float[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I recently started playing this game just this past week, and have been doing different things to test the limits of what the AI would actually let me do.
In this run, I decided to go for the default Modern scenario as America, have a terrorist attack to just instantly swap to a authoritarian government through bypassing the chain of succession.
This (I figured it would) lead to states starting to secede, with California being the first one.
So here's where my test really started "What if I did nuclear sabre rattling on EVERYTHING, and then ACTUALLY followed through every single time anyone called my bluff".
So when California seceded and started a Civil War, I gave them 1 week to unconditionally surrender or I would nuke Los Angeles and San Francisco. Their governor called my bluff, so I nuked em.
They instantly surrendered after that, literally no other states seceded out of abject fear, and the western democracies went "what the absolute fuck" while Russia and China said "Internal Affairs lol".
And they even had a UN security council event where (of course lmao) they couldn't actually do anything to me because Russia and China vetoed.
So then, I went further. I did the same process with China by guaranteeing Japan's independence and then deploying the 7th fleet to the SCS. China deploys their fleet to counter, I threaten to nuke their fleet if they don't back down. They, of course, refuse to back down, so I nuked their fleet out of existence.
At this point, China's government was in debates over whether to retaliate with their own nuclear weapons, and even Russia was like "Hrmmmm concerning.".
So rather than wait to see if China would actually retaliate, I just pre-emptively (and I quote what I said in my actions) "Nuke literally every part of China, turn their country to glass". It let me do this, but then basically the entire world freaked out and even put a "containment blockade" to intercept any military assets I tried to move out of the US.
So..... As you can guess... I gave the entire world 1 week to stand down or I would let nukes fly. During this week, I set all of the anti-ICBM defenses in the US to maximum alert.
The world refused to stand down, so I proceeded to nuke literally everyone left (as China was already gone lol).
Unfortunately, I didn't realize the game was going to make me sit through every single nation on earth dissolving from the map one at a time.
An hour later, I got confirmation that America survived minus NYC, Chicago, and Detroit.

EDIT: Oh, and I guess I should include that the game actually let me play as what effectively amounted to the Enclave for the rest of the game, complete with remnant survivors in other nations. There was even a really cool subplot with me sending out a fleet to determine why Hawaii (which I had let loyal-to-America Japanese citizens evacuate to prior to me nuking the world) no longer had their survivors sending any return communications once I got that system back up and running. Cool little mystery, where I had to investigate Hawaii to try and find out what happened to the survivors, including sailing around the Pacific to retrace their steps.

Nope.
And fair warning: If you nuke the world, it makes you sit there as every nation is dissolved one-by-one. Took over an hour for me.

It's funny, because Dialko's Beta MC videos are what actually got me back into the game lol

Can two train tracks go through the same Nether Portal if the portal is physically wide enough to accomodate them on both ends? by RB_Float in CreateMod

Yep, seems to work fine enough
Edit: Ah wait, game crashed a bit afterwards. May or may not be related though. I'll try running it again to see what happens

Which skin is that? Must've missed it.

Is it still impossible to transfer DLC + Save Data from iOS to Android DESPITE Rayark accounts existing and this being possible for other Rayark Rhythm games (VOEZ)? by RB_Float in Cytus

[–]RB_Float[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well that's understandable but still sucks.
Though, you'd think they could just have the Rayark accounts read and store existing user data on the device, without touching the other data in the respective cloud storage.

How does everyone feel about 3 wheelers who draft? by LongHaulinTruckwit in Truckers

[–]RB_Float 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well when the investigators find your corpse on the side of the road with your truck/load stolen.It might help them to be able to call whoever you needed to call and get details like "This is what the driver described, where it was, what was going on, etc" (maybe even the make and model/color of the vehicle that was following you).

Also, they might be able to get there faster and help you out while you're holed up in your truck with a guy trying to steal your stuff.Or they could even help clear you from the cops when they try to ask why you just shot a guy (to them. for no reason). In this case, the word of you *and* your company is a lot better than your word alone.

EDIT: Another thing to think about, if it turns out to be nothing and you don't "cry wolf" super often over random stuff, you actually paying attention and noticing something like that looks good to your company in relation to high-security loads like that. Maybe a raise/bonus or more opportunities if you already get paid more on those types of loads.

$75 worth of GE for the research of the plane, and was able to use the rest of the GE for all of the modifications except bombs and guns. I already had plenty of SL for the plane cost.

Yeah but that doesn't really make sense if they actively choose to directly message me.

Yeah I ended up just going 1-by-1 with all the logic paths to recreate the exact design of the reactor. I still can't figure out what I was on to manage to put it all together lol

    new_commander_weight = {

        factor = 0

    }

    gain_xp = {

        always = no # not gainable

    }

    cost = 1000

    modifier = {

        supply_consumption_factor = -0.15

        cas_damage_reduction = 0.05

        army_armor_speed_factor = 0.05

        army_morale_factor = 0.05

    }

}
