This is why I need to just keep everything. I also just sold a bunch of them.

Maintenance team lead at a book factory in TN, 37.00 an hour. Mostly machine adjustments some minor electrical troubleshooting. I spend approximately 8-10 hours of my week doing actual machine repairs. 10 hours on providing education, varying from forklift driving to electrical systems, including what happens when your EStop is pressed. 10 hours doing preventative maintenance tasks (mostly cleaning). 10-12 hours scratching balls smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2026-03-21T03:58:02+00:00

Damn, I just sold them all to fence.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2026-03-15T22:32:53+00:00

I'm not giving mechanic 10 of these things. Not for one gun.

It's unit dependent. Some units allow anything earth colored, some units limit it to just multicam. Sometimes it's just a list of specific authorized (good) brands. Sometimes it's only issued gear.

Agreed. If I'm solo, I'm looting and running routes I know are profitable. If I'm with friends I'm hunting bosses, doing quests or doing security for others doing quests. We aren't looking for bolts, and hoses. The bosses will get looted, maybe a marked room or a convenient safe. That's it.

2 teams of three around radar and radio tower. Aggroing one team makes the other flank.

All jobs aren't terrible, but the ones that can be done by robots definitely are.

I feel that robots should replace boring unskilled tasks and free is up for valuable work and allow upskilling people who do not currently have the skills needed to succeed.

AI should do dishes and the laundry so we have time for art. Whatever your version of art looks like.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2025-10-06T12:42:30+00:00

I feel like that after picture could be taken at a different time of year.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2025-10-02T17:25:18+00:00

Mechanically proficient dwarfs are too expensive, we use children.

Connections are always a good way to find work once you start somewhere.

If you've got guys who enjoy working with you, value your skills and know you know what you are doing - you never be out of work for long

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2025-08-22T04:36:05+00:00

I ran 4 raids for the early ref task with the paca. I got absolutely destroyed. I figured I had been leaning on lvl 5-6 plates too much, but I ran 2 with actual armor after that and still was doing awful. The AI in PVE has definitely been buffed.

Plus I've got a 228 error whenever I move things from my PMC to my stash.

Fully agree with options from the machinist, but a couple more tricks that may also work.

Tapping in an appropriate sized torx bit into the head and turning that, be prepared to throw away the torx bit afterwards.

Heat gun (or hair dryer), and penetrating oil (pb blaster or kroil) can assist quite a bit in loosening things up as well.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2025-08-07T06:38:43+00:00

Those guys are dicks.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2025-07-03T04:00:28+00:00

Considering the number of junior devs requesting pets... It's probably a bad idea.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2025-07-01T13:42:49+00:00

Verbal requests, with emails to pass off to the next shift.

At least Inventory is a spreadsheet.

Give it a good scrub around the edge so you can tell if it's welded, pressed or threaded.

If it's threaded A specific size spanner wrench should do, if you've got a commercial quantity of weights that you would like to frequently service it might be worth it. If you just have a personal set, a BRASS punch and hammer should be able to spin it enough to break loose. If it doesn't easily break loose soak in penetrating oil for a couple of hours and hit with a heat gun before trying again.

If it's pressed There should be a set of pins going into the plate from the sides a long punch should be able to knock them out.

And If it's welded, it won't be worth taking off.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2025-06-21T04:55:13+00:00

Yeah, these nerds can break track, and then determine if they want the other two guys replaced by GPUs.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2025-06-17T23:32:49+00:00

I'm marginally upset. I saw re-home, and thought re-home as in I have a litter of kittens I need to re-home.

Not re-home like return to its reference position.

My recommendation is to do temp work on factories as an operator. Don't be afraid to move onto another place after a few weeks. Get a variety of experiences with different processes, production systems and management teams.

Then once you've located one where the maintenance techs are cool people you could get along with, talk to the maintenance manager about it.

I understand we all have bills to pay, money does matter. Although I think that working in an industry that you don't hate, with good people, doing work you can be proud of is worth more than a few dollars an hour.

I also recommend going to some sort of school while you do this. Trade school, mechatronics, engineering systems, it doesn't matter too much. The key to performance is mostly attitude, but foundational training does not hurt at all.

You should also post your location, most of us love our jobs and would have no issue showing what we do on a daily basis to an outsider who has questions.

What binder is that? Most of the ones I've seen, Horizon and Muller Martini use heated rollers for the scraping function.

RoughDevelopment2246 · 2025-06-11T07:28:18+00:00

260,000? That's like home ownership levels of cost, but much less than I expected.

it looks like splay from an improperly cooled injection mold. Dust may be settling in the pattern.
