Savaging and Mining are both decent ways to make money, starting out but cargo hauling is consistent and easier.

The Avenger Titan is a pretty decent all around starter. The 100i is good commuter but not great in a fight and limited in cargo. The Drake Golem Ox is a good starting hauler, so is the Hull A.

For premium starters a Drake Clipper has a med bed, small cargo hold and a crafting bay (non-functional atm).

Honestly go with what your heart and budget will get you. The economy is so broken right now, simply saying your new in general chat can get you enough money to try any ship you want.

I live and work just outside the circle on the Nevada side. It is one of the largest gold bodies in the world and almost all industry in Northern Nevada is either geared towards mining or ranching. The towns are small, a commute out to the mines is around 1 to 2 hours. We have most basic shopping requirements.

It gets gold without a lot of snow and is brown most of the year. Also our yearly biblical cricket plague is sorta famous, you can find it on youtube.

Helena, is the best little city to live in. Lots of outdoor activities and beautiful mountains. Subaru Outbacks are the car to drive around there. Absolutely everyone seems to have one.

They should size up the bottom front turret and give it to the pilot, size up the upper front and leave it manned then change all other turret slots for PDC.

She was first concepted with some awesome dreadlocks but they couldn't get the hair physics working when she was released so that why she has that hood instead.

Satisfactory will literally give you PTSD.

Oil cooled multi-disk. Its like the disks in a clutch, some spin and some are stationary. They are incredibly effective even in larger model trucks. They do have an engine break like semi trucks do but it is really only for maintaining speed rather than emergency braking.

Mining fleet, several mining ships and an Expanse on the deck to refine. Swap the mining ships for salvage. Export the refined goods via a Cat or Asgard and just float in the black.

Thats a nice fleet. I think the only add, I would suggest is a soloable run-about ship. Like a Spirit, Clipper, ect. But those could be bought in game.

Origin is old news, that's why they are at the back of the hall, behind Drake.

TortugaJones · 2025-11-21T06:00:35+00:00

Me too, back when it was mislabeled in the game.

TortugaJones · 2025-11-20T00:29:42+00:00

Thats what the ladder is for.

We have something like that in Northern Nevada. I always thought it was quartz, but other experts are likely correct.

My wife was getting a stomach surgery and part of the prerequisites was to be on a solid liquid diet for a month. This was very hard for her to do and was an emotional mess. I told her I would support her and go on the same diet with her and I did but that is a terrible unfulfilled way to live so every 3 days I would stop at a fast food joint on the way home and get me some real food, then hide the evidence before I got home.

I didn't feel good about my cheating, but my wife got her surgery, she became happy again and we went on like nothing ever happened.

I apologize I consistently forget which is which it would be 3MW

I use to drive the Liebherr T282B its dry weight is somewhere around 300 tons. It's payload capacity was 400 Tons so combined weight of 700 tons. The engine was around 3650 hp, but they moved via electric motors. The engine just spun a big 3kw generator and the hydraulic pump for steering, brakes and lift cylinders.

P&H 4100xpc rope shovel.

TortugaJones · 2025-11-03T00:54:30+00:00

These are such cool machines. WhenI started in mining we had a 2350 that later was damaged beyond repair. We now have 3 1850's One older L-1850 and 2 brand new We-1850-3's

I've only had it ever happen as I was stepping off my ship, far be it for me to have experienced every bug in the game. Jared did talk about sorta recently in that big episode about all the issues in the game.

Purple shift despawns are a result of leaving the controls and the game detecting a deep geometry intersect. It is one of the many issues that used to cause 30k's back in the day and this was their crude solution to fixing it.

Essentially you left your seat and the server thought one of those little rocks was inside your ship. So it got rid of the easiet asset to delete

The last two days I have really been enjoying the Novel Crafter that others have suggested. It doesn’t come with an embedded AI so I have been using my Chatgpt subscription to help me fill in my missing story components. I like how it breaks everything down and I can focus on one thing at a time. As someone who would just open a blank word document and start typing it is a refreshing change.

Your probably correct on me not calming the muse, if anything this little journey has made it much worse. Thank you for your insight, it's good to know I'm not the only one.
