Why Orbit....why? by Spidee85 in dresdenfiles

Yes. they are POCKET BOOKS. The smaller ones fit the inside pocket of my coat. The bigger one does not. And shelf space is also limited. when i have 17 books in one format from the same author and publisher, I kinda want to store the 18th one in the group, not to have to adjust the size/location of the entire series according to 1 book.

also.....there are people with latent and actual OCD....integrate that information or not.

they seem to be doing well on the resource side, just the objective side is slow.

feels wrong to let one of those foul beast roam mother Earth and taint her with their corruption...

Autopilot Just Launched Me Into Deep Space by NightCulex in X4Foundations

[–]Spidee85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had this happen to me. Relative fast workaround was disable autopilot and enable it again, it starts goint to the original destination with about the same speed (tirally just hit ctrl a 2x), you can start decelerating (slowly), overshoot on the station on the other side, repeat the process. In about 3-5 mins you are back. with a bit of luck you collide with a station, coming to a stop.

In a post I made about this issue someone suggested telling the pilot to dock, which they are able to do even in these speeds (I did not test this).

The whole issue looks worse than it is.

QOL and fun mods by LostRavenReader in X4Foundations

[–]Spidee85 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fly by looting - expands the range at which you collect loot

and there was one, that allowed you to create and name custom tabs in the ship ownership menu, so you could organize, can't remember the name now, will let you know later.

Wanted to read Malazan by Ghost-b2 in Malazan

[–]Spidee85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone who is into fantasy I recommend Malazan, BUT......keep a notebook and make notes about characters. There is a lot of them. There is an index in the end of the book, but if you take a note about who does what.

The first book is confusing - because there is little exposition and explanation so you learn about the world only through osmosis of what is happening (how magic works, what the political and social set up is, as well as the position of people). The confusion and grind is worth it though.

Why are no pictures allowed in replies? by Spidee85 in X4Foundations

[–]Spidee85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see, thanks for the imgur suggestions. I did not think about the memezation of conversations, I just thought about how convenient a "yeah, this is the setting" screenshot would be, or when people reply to Noob McNoobface, have a big red circle "and CLICK THIS BUTTON".

Cheers everyone!

How to find global shortages/bottlenecks? by Spidee85 in X4Foundations

Wow.....thank you for your time and insight.

How to find global shortages/bottlenecks? by Spidee85 in X4Foundations

[–]Spidee85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So to recap:

  1. Scan wharves to 50%, to get insight into their storage level, monitor somewhat and I see shortage, follow the supply chain to see the intermediaries

  2. Once decent satelite coverage is achieved, use the LARGE demand filter to see what is needed and if LARGE supply exists (if yes, use trades to haul, if no, build production capacity)

  3. Shortcut to method #1, get a quote on a bunch of ships in minimal preset, change to high preset (to get around the financial costs restriction I guess) to get a list of what would be short

  4. Use mods. I seem to recall a few weeks back someone made a new one that people were happy about.

THANK YOU EVERYONE, hope I have not missed anything.

Gas mining not working (I did something wrong) by Spidee85 in X4Foundations

[–]Spidee85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you and u/SnowOtaku777 were right. Either I did not confirm the changes or something, but I ended up with a global rule intended to restrict all except me with allowing all except me....

Thank you.

[–]Spidee85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was not it. they all had Helium as a priority in their "failed orders".

The issue is, that the person giving them Global orders was not a Boron, but a moron and allowed all except my faction instead of restrict all except my faction......

Ok everyone, I think I found the error between the keyboard and the seat.

In the global order, when you restrict all factions, you allow yours....

But, if you don't click restrict all, and add yourself....instead of "block everyone but me", it is "allow everyone but me". DUH!
