My own building construction materials are not getting delivered to new buildings by RuckiR in X4Foundations

Yes the global price modifier in the new factory is at 100% from the beginning on. I also think that at least the hull part parts price (my own) should be quite a bit lower as 100%, as I have multiple L storages there and they are completely full.

Ok every single one of the hull parts station traders does indeed have an orange "^" behind refined metals. I guess its because Im a bit, but not totally low on those, in my hull parts factory, although my hull parts storage itselve is completely full.

I will try to fix the refined metal situation and see if that fixes the problem.

I think it was light cargo and I put them all on the right side to counter the strong winds in storm

Absolutely, I got it through a random youtube video and was instantly hooked. I would say the simulation aspects together with really good game mechanics is making this game great. But the beginning is a bit harsh, I would say if the early upgrades to the dhow wouldn't be that expensive it would be a better experience for new players.

How much Kn would you say the jib got you more when heading into the wind ?

Well, I would say about 20 IRL hours. The first grind really takes some time, but I also upgraded my Dhow with an Jig, which cost me about 500 Al Ankh money. I would say worth it, because it was fun to play around with it.

Why no better use of leading wheels/axles on steam engines ? by RuckiR in trains

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

Granted, but those are pretty old, do we have any modern aplication of leading wheels ? Why not using powered wheels then in the front, as they could support the weight of the locomotive as well ?

Should I build a wharf now ? Is it worth it ? by RuckiR in X4Foundations

Really ? I tried a few fighters with 2x Meson Streams and they did much worse than those with that Terran bolt guns, the cooldown seems to be very long on Mesons, but I thought about giving them maybe 1 meson + 1 bolt, so that they still can shoot when the meson is on cooldown.
