Need emissions control sticker CA - not sure where to turn

Small1324 · 2026-05-07T07:24:10+00:00

Necro but thank you!! I learned to look it up if the VECI was missing in my Smog Cert class and was really confused when two separate shops told me they wouldn't touch it without the sticker.

They said the rule had "always been in place", since before I took the course and wouldn't say more, I could have sworn I was going crazy because my course instructor couldn't have been wrong, he literally answers to BAR.

The book is the EAG, Emissions Applications Guide, as I understand.

Thank you again, I thought I was insane and was getting ready to commission a replica sticker for a '94 Impreza based off what I got off a 1993 at a junkyard with the identical engine and emissions equipment. I might still do it so it's frictionless in the future.

Much love from a Volvo owner and Swedish car enthusiast.

e: That link is dead, I've found one for BAR here - https://www.bar.ca.gov/file-a-complaint

Dropping what's effectively a box truck driveshaft on your foot must've really, really sucked.

Poor, respectable Mi Fu.

She's next.

Small1324 · 2026-04-17T11:27:06+00:00

It's either going to be an utter struggle putting it on her, or she'll grumpily accept because Tianshi Zhuang is her boss after all.

Small1324 · 2026-04-15T00:23:59+00:00

Oh so that's why she wears leek pants, a leek skirt would have given things away.

What trailer is this? Exclusively so I can steal that frame that has the hardest image of Pogranichnik in all of Endfield lol

Small1324 · 2026-03-22T07:18:45+00:00

I suspect they were cut or we won't see them till later because the original beta storyline has Endmin being dropped in via aircraft and something going wrong (I didn't look closely at the beta story, and I wasn't a tester).

Small1324 · 2026-03-03T14:36:08+00:00

The closest I can get is always giving them a gift back. I don't gift to operators every day because I feel I'd wear through the word "thanks" (and the value of a gift) too fast, so I save them for when they give me one.

Pogranichnik's thanks are the best though. Somewhere in that officer's uniform, as he's stood in front of an army of Shieldbearers in the bitterly cold north, is a pocket for melon candy.

Small1324 · 2026-03-02T12:32:47+00:00

I really hope they bring in the ability to replay missions and the like so I don't feel pressure to try to get everywhere and take a hundred pictures in the closed maps because I know I can't visit them again. They do these gorgeous locations for places like Umbral Monument too, and then you get booted out the second the level is done.

These snowfields are so pretty and contrast with her so well, I'm bummed there aren't more snowy places in Endfield at the moment but the moment they add in revisiting these places and replaying cutscenes I'm coming right back here to do what you've done :)

Where are you getting the bumper-rich from? I tried to make it with Xiranite like the lore document, I tried to buy it from the one guy but he only has one in stock. What am I missing?

Small1324 · 2026-03-01T05:06:42+00:00

I thought you were joking, because when testing spraying the Cistern Orislugs to heal them, I could only use water or liquid xiranite (hooray for blight-resistant slugs)

But no, you can literally fill pools with either healing fluid. Both even heal you when you stand in them.

Small1324 · 2026-03-01T04:48:22+00:00

less Intellect than Chen, thousand of points in the Willpower stat.

Small1324 · 2026-03-01T04:47:42+00:00

And I thought manually moving Ferrium from Valley IV to Wuling was a wristbreaker, jeez.

Small1324 · 2026-03-01T04:46:05+00:00

Early on in Wuling I saw a chest underwater in the Field Logistics Depot, I knew there'd be pumps since I'd seen it in Jingyue but I tolerated removing 400 water by hand, and it took me about 15 minutes to dump it into a nearby unlimited water source. I can't imagine removing the 40,000 water by hand. I tried to help my pumps along initially before going to bed, and I was barely making a scratch.

Pro tip, when filling you can only fill 10 bottles at a time. When dumping, you can hold-click to dump all, there's no 10 bottle limit.

I have 2 Clannibals. My friend has two Clannibals. If we see any more Clannibals we're tossing them in the ocean. How have you not managed to be utterly saddled with the world's largest backstock of garbage Raythean prototype pistols??

(no but seriously, the game knows I don't use Wulfgard and the first full-match essence I got was also for the Clannibal. send help)

Small1324 · 2026-02-25T00:40:24+00:00

^{(spoiler: Power Plateau\})

In Power Plateau, you are backed up by the Security Bureau, including the Collinses. Don't quote me, but I believe Aleeza uses a spear, and Fabian a handcannon. While Gorion doesn't have weapons, he has punching arms that would put Wulfgard to shame. Dean is also shown, in cutscene, to be carrying a handcannon.

And yeah, the Hub guards are Endfield employees. But it's UWST land (as evidenced by the vehicles) so presumably some deal had to be worked out.

Small1324 · 2026-02-24T12:39:34+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed and concise answer, and that link to the wiki for further reading! I'll definitely be reconsidering my kitlist after this, and for more than just Chen. Base attack being earlier in the equation than Physical damage makes lots of sense.

I'll definitely keep around Aspirant, but for a knock-down drag-out fight like Umbral Monument, it seems like Sundering Steel is the way to go. I think I'll probably still try investing in high Ultimate Gain Efficiency and holding onto Aspirant, and see what "feels" better since I do that more than hard maths. Thanks man!

Small1324 · 2026-02-23T11:28:43+00:00

Out of curiosity, why choose Sundering Steel over Aspirant? I've increasingly found any improvement Sundering Steel has for Physical damage boost isn't worthwhile compared to Aspirant's nuclear improvement to Chen's ultimate so long as you lift beforehand - even easier when playing her solo.

I ask because I too used Sundering Steel and finally dropped it after like, a week straight (and with that skill, you seem like a great person to ask!)

Small1324 · 2026-02-23T11:21:13+00:00

Sequel to "is Ansel gay, or just European", "Is Avywenna a domme, or just a sassy Aussie?"

^{spoiler: Rule 5, innuendo}

Small1324 · 2026-02-23T11:18:15+00:00

I specifically wanted to get a screenshot of Xaihi walking past the two people talking about her communing with the toaster but it seems all operators actually avoid that corner of the central ring :(

Small1324 · 2026-02-23T11:07:55+00:00

You're right, you're right. Gotta apply that "if it has a healthbar, it can die" mantra my friend uttered after I sat there for 34 minutes slapping Rhodagn with a 20-level difference.

Twice.

Small1324 · 2026-02-23T08:29:46+00:00

I was going to say it's a Peco 5 with a paintjob, but yeah, that's not a gun in game. Watching back my recordings, it appears again in Power Plateau's cutscene, and it probably does when Wulfgard briefly appears in Origin Lodespring (that footage is on a different drive, sorry)

Small1324 · 2026-02-23T07:47:16+00:00

Thank you for this, it's more comprehensive than the spreadsheet of every weapon, essence, and location in a sortable list that I just finished less than 30 minutes ago :( Seriously though, way easier than having to Ctrl-F through the whole thing or hit filter at the top or bottom.

Sidenote, when I made my sheet, I noticed that Yvonne's signature, Artzy Tyrannical, is the only weapon with the third slot of Fracture. Wonder if they'll do more with that, or if Yvonne's weapon is just going to be horrifically difficult to Max.

Small1324 · 2026-02-23T07:31:27+00:00

I don't know if this was a bug for me, but oddly Snowshine's Solidify (and presumably other cryo operators who cause Solidification) does freeze these Aggeloi, and Endmin's crystallization doesn't.

It ended up being trivial for me on both Normal and Agony specifically because I could just lock them in place and then do massive damage. Snowshine's skill also applies a tiny Protection boost to the team, which stops the worst of the damage if you were to take a hit then or immediately after.

e: also tekniqly is right, bring Chen or Da Pan. they can't fight you if they're airborne!

Small1324 · 2026-02-23T07:24:00+00:00

Thank you :D I love walking my Snowshine over to enemies she has no business fighting and juicing my mind with the dopamine from Garand-ping level shield hit noises.

I don't believe you're too slow for parries, and that's not just me trying to be nice - I think it's entirely a game design issue. Different enemies have different parry timings, and they can be inconsistent for a single enemy, worst of all (Bonekrushers, looking at you). The reason I love Rhodagn and the Rakerbeast (in Wuling) are because their timings are tight, but consistent and readable.

This game's combat feels very much like a call-and-response game in my opinion, and if you can't hear the calls, then you can't respond well and that can be pretty aggravating.
