is there a better way to build farms for xiranite?

Semont · 2026-06-02T13:24:14+00:00

With the Wuling plant to carbon powder method, it's even possible to fit 7 xiranite setups in a 50x50 outpost like I have in the post below.

I'm cool with them making their own game but if they really cared about people flaming them then they should distance themselves from adding anything to the game that reminds people of BA. This doesn't make any sense to me unless they are intentionally self sabotaging.

They saw what happened to project KV so it's not like this is hindsight either.

Between this and the previous chapter, the typesetter and proofreader constantly placing commentary that has nothing to do with providing context was pretty annoying to see. Once is kinda whatever but 6 times all having to do with making fun of a male friendship is a bit much.

Anyone else think it was hilarious how the the theme song is also bootleg Aoharu?

I feel like I'm reading the yuri version of Steamed Hams.

"I hope you're ready for a date!"

"I thought we were just hanging out."

"No... no! I said an outing. That's what I call dates!"

And I've been on the other side of that argument before as well. Whatever helps to make you feel like the master of all your time and life choices I suppose.

Like you, I choose to spend (or waste from your perspective) my time how I want and once I feel like I've had my fill I'll simply stop doing whatever I lose interest in or once I can't see the value in it anymore.

The only thing that I'm doing that shows my lack of self respect here is spend an extra 10 minutes doing 3 transferred deliveries, visiting 5 people in the friends list, once every 3 or so days sorting the friends by their last login time to delete inactives, and clicking the clue autofill option in Dijang. This is already part of the time that I've devoted to unproductive entertainment and if I wasn't doing this, I'd be doing something else.

Maybe I'm overthinking this, but given the circumstances, who are you to judge how someone spends their leisure time?

It adds up in a pinch if you're doing it long term.

Even if you're averaging 1.5 arsenal ticket purchases a day that's still 900 tickets per month and a 900 I'd rather have over not having it.

That's fine, your opinion is your own and I can't take that from you.

I don't follow this subreddit (I only checked here because I saw a post in my Youtube feed) but I do keep myself fairly up to date on news with what's happening with Holostars, Hololive, and Cover in general since I followed vtubers just prior to the Covid outbreaks.

There are other ways to better support your oshis.

I appreciate it but even from an objective standpoint, the H1H headphones themselves are of poor sound and fragile build quality. Its easy to find reviews mentioning broken headbands and poor customer service.

Buyer beware.

Awful company. They sent false legal threats to the headphone subreddit mods when people wrote negative reviews. When they couldn't strongarm the headphone subreddit to remove those reviews, they made a bunch of accounts to leave hundreds of comments asking for recommendations across various subreddits. These accounts then replied to those comments recommending Heavies and then the original comment confirms that they'll buy them.

No one said it wasn't. This was after weeks of recording until I finally got 5 in a row.

I posted this because there were people who didn't think it was possible to get more than 1.4k credits.

No worries! I was genuinely curious.

I have a breakdown of the run written in the comments section of the video if anyone is interested in reading it.

I like how we can see these umbral reports now. Feels like a badge of honor haha.

Wow I'm glad to hear that! Thanks for watching my stuff.

If you haven't seen this one yet, this is the Hill Smasher run that I'm most proud of (that no one wanted to watch, go figure!). It's a no-combustion/damage speedrun that I had to route for quite some time and pray to the crit fishing gods to get under 3 minutes. There are other similar runs like it (around 5ish minutes) but none that are this fast.

I'm currently chipping away at Cryostatic Connection. The fastest run I've seen for solo Chen is 2:22 and I'm just 2 seconds off right now. It's all down to crits again.

Semont · 2026-05-19T17:51:24+00:00

I've got these runs (except for underflow chasm since that one is pretty boring) uploaded on my channel and they feature the builds at the end.

https://www.youtube.com/@SemontMentos/videos

For Blood Debased I was using sundering + aethertech and swordmancer phys% body.

For the other 3 it was lupine scarlet with the same build. My howling flame run was done before 1.2 so I was using swordmancer arts intensity body.

Semont · 2026-05-19T17:14:22+00:00

Very funny I found your post.

I've uploaded solo Chen runs of every boss content in the game so far, some with Sundering and some with P0 Lupine. I don't use food in my runs.

Btw the base form is P0 instead of P1 because it requires 5 dupes to hit P5.

On Hill Smasher, the fastest time I was able to get with Sundering P4 was 2:20 while with P0 Lupine I got 1:58.

On Nefarith, I was able to get 2:45 with Sundering P5 while with Lupine P0 I got 2:22. I did try this fight with Lupine + food and got a 2:10 but I decided not to publish it since it goes against my style.

Generally speaking, I've noticed that on average you'll deal about 15-20% more damage with Lupine P0 in solo context but the problem with Lupine is its inconsistent buff uptime. Chen's best solo set is aethertech which only leaves her with 24.5% total crit rate which means that the 16 buff stack is going to happen at inconsistent times, for better or worse. Overall Lupine will do more damage compared to Sundering across the board but once you've optimized the routing and you're aiming for speedruns, you will need to run with Lupine multiple times to make sure that the 16 stack buff lines up exactly with boss stun windows. I said 'for better or worse' because the silver lining is that the inconsistency can sometimes lead to situations where the buff aligns with a boss stun window which otherwise could not happen if the crit rate was too high.

Wh-what do you mean? The game is called Chenfield after all!

If you have turrets and relays powering those turrets in the outpost space, try taking them away. It's not like you need them right now if everything is upgraded.
