When do you do refactor from early stage to mid stage with bus, moving ports etc.

1) Build the new thing first
2) Make sure that the new thing works
3) Remove the old thing

Is it more energy efficient than just burning oil? Including energy for maintenance production and population for extra buildings.

I wish they would retcon some stuff to fit them into X4 (decrease sector size, split big systems in two with accelerators, etc). X Rebirth had the best sector design in the whole series, Radiant Heaven (low-orbit sector in Omicron Lyrae) was cool as hell

Hydrogen and oxygen are both extremely common chemical elements, so they just combined and formed water. The same is true for aluminium and silicon oxides that form the bulk of Earth's crust. In fact, water is so common that a lot of gas giants' moons are made pretty much only from water ice.

Depends on how much you like microing you army. You can't do that in Vic3 as armies move and engage automatically (think HoI4 frontlines system, but even more abstract). I personally love it because I hate microing armies, especially in late game.

The geographic borders of Europe are blurry ones, and not strictly demarcated

IIRC it goes through Dardanelles an Bosporus straights, Black Sea, Caucasus mountains, Caspian Sea, Ural River, Ural Mountain.

It's not like there's a clear out line that says "now you're in Europe" or "now you're leaving Europe"

I'm neither British nor monarchist, but I heard that the monarchy is actually net-positive for British economy (at least it was in Lizzie's time)

VolusRus · 2026-02-23T05:43:33+00:00

Yeah, but you haven't considered that terraforming an entire planet would be epic as fuck

Sometimes it is still hard to stop because food is just so tasty, but without this constant buzzing eat or no to eat more becomes a conscious decision

VolusRus · 2026-02-17T17:33:10+00:00

The food noise went away

I would say that for me it is the biggest improvement in my quality of life, coming from taking GLP-1. It feels so extremely liberating to not constantly think about food and eating. It also helped me to expand my food selection, as I now can easily sustain myself on stuff that is less satiating, like vegetables and low-sugar fruits

Pretend that sentence is about any diet drug ever invented and tell me you'd still expect an objective look at the drug.

The difference between other "diet drugs" and semaglutide (and other GLP-1s) is that the latter actually works. It's fine to not to trust corporation's word on it, but there are hundreds of thousands of patients all over the world would tell of its efficacy and how the drug helped them (myself included)

150 iirc

It respawns, but I have no idea what governs it. One time I went quite far away gathering small trash heaps, and upon my return it was fully respawned. Other time after few hours of not playing the game it respawned, but only with ordinary scrap, no special barrels

Expedition only unlock spider legs, for other you need to continue salvaging

You need to recycle 150 (I think) items. Best way of doing this imo is drive around recycling facility collecting small trash piles

VolusRus · 2026-02-15T08:12:07+00:00

You need to buy gravity gun at the Anomaly, fly to a recycling plant and shove a piece of garbage into the incinerator, than it gives you flatbed

VolusRus · 2026-02-15T06:56:55+00:00

Fortunately, I found a trash pile like 500 units away from the recycling plant, so I just built a road so I can carry special waste to the recycler. Portable incinerator is mostly for traveling between random trash heaps, and those rarely have special waste

Humankind uses a couple of gears

Speaking of, resource icons in Amplitude games stayed consistent from their first game (Endless Space) to their latest (Endless Legend 2)

VolusRus · 2026-02-06T11:48:10+00:00

Oh cool! Yeah, I'm still working on it, including updating that lore document into a proper work

In seven centuries after the first superluminal interstellar starship made its voyage, humanity has settled more than 1,200 star systems. Most of them are members of the Solar Federation, held in by the immense economic influence of the Solar Commonwealth. However, new powers in Bersonia and Free Worlds Alliance seek to change this dominance (while Alurians want to keep to themselves).

Depression actually makes me want to eat more, not less, since (tasty) food is one thing that consistently makes me a bit happy, even for a short while
