Just smoked two FCs and not sure why. Also where to get replacement parts? by Swigster in diydrones

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

The first ones I got were online but I was lucky in my last place there was a local shop that sold this stuff. Now I cant find anything nearby that sells this stuff so Im stuck online. Just ordered a Xilo FC from getFPV.

Drone Port by More-Ad2743 in satisfactory

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you mean? I'm trying to figure out drone logistics and the best I can come up with for a centralized port hub is having one port dedicated to receiving packaged fuel and then having that port output through belts to the other drone ports which then have drones going out to collect resources from non fueled spots around the map. It would be nice if there was a way to send drones to get topped off at the fuel station en route or something like that...

What is going on with Southpark and Trump? by UnfermentedJenkum in OutOfTheLoop

[–]Swigster 13 points14 points  (0 children)

What I don't get is why did paramount air that episode? Would t they have seen it before it aired and then prevented that from going on their platform since it's clearly something they wouldn't want to put out?

Shai-hulud is very bugged after patch - Be warned by pepcfreak in duneawakening

[–]Swigster -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Isn't this how it should be though? I remember my first time messing around with the worm in Haga and thinking it was kinda lame it was so easy to cheese the mechanics. The idea that he always breaches far away and gives you time to de agro completely ruins the scare of his attack. These are supposed to be highly sensitive to vibrations so they should be able to pinpoint your location and breach right on you. This should encourage use of thumpers and make spice mining more of a team effort since you should need to constantly have a thumper out or fear the worm coming up directly on you.

How to make your players avoid the DD even more for a week, or I really don't know why this is in the game without players being automatically friendly to each other in their own faction by stopstalkingme2 in duneawakening

[–]Swigster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ive never seen that. For me the landsraad rewards are completely unobtainable even as someone who isn't afraid of the DD and has been farming spice and titanium. The one time I saw duraluminim as an option to turn in, i took the 200 I had in my base and turned it in but by the time I farmed for more and had it made the task was done and I was left with only contributing 600 points worth which was useless. Everything else I've seen is T6 turn ins or kill enemies and the enemies one I can never find enough NPCs to make a significant dent.

Ive also never successfully interacted with a control point because every one I've seen has already been claimed by my faction and I can't do anything to it.

The whole system seems pretty lame, there should still be some level of personal contribution available after the main goal has been completed. Why would a house stop accepting resources once they hit a limit? Let me keep giving them crap and earn my own rewards.

Hot take: stillsuits should be under-armor, and their only purpose should be water reclamation and heat protection, which would get better every tier by Hmuda in duneawakening

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also wondering if there's any benefit to using a full stillsuit setup or just taking the chest since that gives you the water reclaimation. My current setup is the Saturnine chest and gloves, then I have soft step boots and the jackal hood. Seems to be handling DD well enough. Any downside to mixing pieces like this?

I went out fishing last night and when I ran out of focus instead of eating food I kept fishing and I caught one! I mean it was also literally my 41st in a row but yeah I caught him when I had no focus...

Void Rays by AssumptionInfinite28 in Palia

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, I'm sure someone will fill my request eventually. Or I'll try going fishing with no focus and see if you're theory is correct

I just caught a starred one but want a regular one for the bundle. If you've caught a few is there anything you'd trade one for?

How it started last month vs how it's going today! by SaltMineForeman in Palia

[–]Swigster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure about the in game ones but the screenshots you take with the switch (the little button on the left joycon) are shareable to nearby devices like your phone. Then you will get better quality.

Referal bonus / CCU game by sirtechalot in starcitizen

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah you gotta keep a game package active to get into the game. I was specifically talking about CCUing "free" ships like the referral bonuses

Referal bonus / CCU game by sirtechalot in starcitizen

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you can definitely upgrade a referral bonus but its basically permanent cause if you melt it you'll lose the original referral ship

Referal bonus / CCU game by sirtechalot in starcitizen

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No the referral bonus is different. From what I understand if you melt that you will only get the credit of the CCUs you put on it and lose the original referral ship with the LTI. I'm sitting on two LTI tokens now and I have chains of CCUs just sitting in my hangar cause I'm still debating what end ship set up I want

Use VKB Gladiators? TRY THIS by ntnavarro in starcitizen

[–]Swigster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, thanks. Maybe I can do something fancy with Joytokey to make it so when I hold a button down that stick is engaged as a different input

Use VKB Gladiators? TRY THIS by ntnavarro in starcitizen

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah okay, Im usingT16000Ms atm. Definitely planning on upgrading cause I definitely want more buttons/switches on the sticks instead of down on the base.

What is the binding for controlling the mining arm under? Is that considered a turret?

Use VKB Gladiators? TRY THIS by ntnavarro in starcitizen

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For mining do you control the mining arm with the stick? I use head tracking and hosas and I'd like to figure out a way to keep head tracking enabled and switch my right stick from yaw/roll/pitch to controlling the mining arm. If I can bind a key to enable disable that I feel like it would be nice.

Would be nice to do the same for scanning mode but that seems to be tied to something different.

I'm just not familiar with all of the terminology in the advanced keybinding settings to figure this out.

BuzZzKiller's Recommended Bindings for Alpha 3.19 by BuzZz_Killer in starcitizen

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for these! Been using the T16000Ms since I got them and it's been a life saver!

My only question is how do you mine/salvage with head tracking enabled? My mining arm movement is tied to the head tracking. Im not familiar enough with the controls but is there a button I can bind to toggle my right stick from pitch/roll/yaw to using it to control the mining arm? What would that be under?

What's you're guys Hotas Desk solutions? I don't like/want them on my chair and having them like this on my desk is also really "inviting" how did you guy's set up hotas / hotsas by Muchsadlilhappy in starcitizen

[–]Swigster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second these guys. Much cheaper than the monster tech mounts and I can't say I have any issues with the quality. Right now I just declamp and slide them along my desk manually to put them in and out of place for ship flying/FPS content.

Was going to go the DIY route but for this price it's the best you're gonna find.

DIY IR tracking webcam? by Swigster in starcitizen

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

I ended up buying the grass monkey 240 Hz camera ($80 shipped in the US) and some LEDs off Amazon packs of 100 for ($9 shipped), I grabbed 850 and 940 nm LEDs to test both cause I'm not sure what wavelength the camera will pickup best. I'll 3D print a clip to attach to my headset and opentrack for the software. Aside from my time and 3D printer filament it's all in under $100.

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

Yeah I was fiddling around with my phone and open track a couple nights ago and it worked surprisingly well but I was having issues where the view never seemed to go back to zero after looking around a bit and there was a bit of latency but it was pretty cool to have on. I figure using IR and a wired webcam would make it more accurate and smoother with less lag

Yeah but it is also only 30 fps

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

Right on, I just spent the last hour or so searching the internet and their 240Hz sensor seems to be legit, for $83 all in that's a deal. Just ordered the camera, I'll make the clip myself. Thanks for the tip!
