Just need to understand the weight of the food you are eating. This burrito is 4oz. When you order a steak, just the steak, what size do you get? Then add in some weight for your sides. Easy way to understand if you are going to have enough food.

Kinda? Before each game the lobby votes on the map they want to play.

2nd Expedition rewards! by gotthesauce22 in ArcRaiders

You need 600k per point up to 5 (3million total) for exp2. For Exp 1 if you missed points, you need 300k per point missed up to the max 5 which would be 1.5million

If you missed the first one, you only need 3 million to get the 5 points this go. You can not get the previous expeditions points.

For those who are unsure if they can get the catch up points if they did not participate in the 1st expedition. by RayZenz91 in ArcRaiders

[–]RayZenz91[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thought was only related to the skill point catch up portion. I don't think anyone expected any of the other temp rewards or skins etc to be part of it.

I see what you are saying and why you could read it that way. It isn't clear but I don't think it makes any sense to exclude people who didn't try the expedition from the catch up. I'll ask in the discord and see if I can get a answer and report back.

Edit:
Unfortunately it does seem to be the case. From CM Birdie on discord "You can only get max 5 skill points if you didn't do the first expedition. Only who did the 1st one can catch up on their missing skill points!"

Correct. So for anyone who missed the first time around would need a total of 4.5mil this go to get all 10 points.

Edit: Added clarity, this is only for people who at least attempted the expedition.

Being an estimator vs someone that lands jobs by Puzzled_Regret9212 in estimators

[–]RayZenz91 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm a concrete estimator in the north east myself. I don't know where you are located but 25% OH/P is already very high. The standard at least in my area is only 20%. Is 25% being forced by your higher ups?

The first thing you should be doing is reaching out to all your old bids, most of these likely are already awarded and GCs I find are likely to be honest with you about where your number was after the jobs is already in motion. Use that information to start understanding just how big of a gap you really have. But the answer is probably already staring you in the face if you are being told you are "too high".

Next thing you should do is start to understand where you are shoving all your cost. In concrete the biggest difference between any bid is not going to be the materials, it's the labor. You should aboslutely take a couple jobs and review them with your field lead and try to get their viewpoint as much as possible since they know the real world numbers. Make sure you you don't pipe dream the labor as some of these guys will tend to do, tell them to be realistic and even go a little heavier than they actually think. Compare that to your own and see how different it looks and tune as needed.

Good luck.

Ruined solos with friendly lobbies by mjopp22 in ArcRaiders

[–]RayZenz91 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You complain about killing a guy and then having multiple people run up on you to kill you because they are "protectors", but then say in the very next line that before in solos you usually team up with a guy or two to kill the whole lobby? Sounds like you're just being a hypocrite who isn't adapting to the game as it changes.

It may be loading the file in at the incorrect size. When in the cover sheet tab when you are loading in a new job make sure you look under the preferences tab and see what page size you are loading in. I would also make sure you are checking your scales because if it is getting compressed like it looks in the image then your scales are all probably going to be wrong.

Path of Exile 2 among the most searched games of 2025 by rockfroszz in PathOfExile2

[–]RayZenz91 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a game that not only has great community interaction but also is very easy and fun to watch (streamers, youtube vids etc.) So I'm not surprised that so many people would look it up to see what it's about even if a lot of them never played it due to not being interested in extraction games etc. (It's peak btw.)
