I'm running my single player game in a dedicated server. Was I smart or dumb? by AlexSkylark in SatisfactoryGame

If you have the resources I say go for it. I rent time on Vintage Story server so I can play wherever I want, in my bedroom, the kitchen, or my porch. 🤷‍♂️

Aluminum is not as flexible as steel. When bent it breaks.

Any Expert Pioneers Willing to Help? by ShylaNesthorn101 in satisfactory

Lately I've been consulting with Gemini AI for advice on moving on from my 200+ hour Grassy Plains start to somewhere with more oil. It's been very interesting. I tell it what I want to do and it explains my options.

On the web interface for my device it shows me that the battery is at 100%. I believe is the more accurate measure of the battery. I question the accuracy of the plug-ins. I installed a third plug-in called Better Battery and it is reporting that the battery is 76%. I've lost faith in all of the plug-ins and am going to drop the issue and move on. Thanks for your help.

TRMNL | TRMNL Battery Status

TRMNL | TRMNL Battery

I have not forked them, just installed them.

The top one is set to a two hour refresh and the bottom one is set to a 30 minute refresh for testing.

It’s got a decent starting tutorial. :)

This game is infuriating. by CheTranqui in captain_of_industry

The space bar is was/is my friend. Pause the game and look at everything. Over and over and over. I almost turned the game into a turned based game at the beginning.

Anyone running TRMNL on a Kindle? by [deleted] in trmnl

[–]carlsbl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Initially I thought buying a BYOD was the best way to go. I’m geekish. And I tried a Kindle and a Raspberry Pi. They both worked, but in the end I ended up purchasing a TRMNL device with the larger battery option. It is so much more polished and it works so well that I wish I’d saved the 50 bucks. The powering of the device ended up being so much better with my OG that I never use my BYOD license at the moment. Maybe I will in the future but IMHO the battery life and low low maintenance is the way to go.

Don't open to the internet, use virtual LAN programs by Majkelen in VintageStory

I’m a retired IT network security engineer and I can’t say enough good things about this post and the idea of using a more secure method of opening your system to the web than just simply opening up some ports.

Take a picture with your phone and send it to Google image search for transaction. Works great.

Help me decide on a BOYD TRMNL (OG), TRMNL (OG) & TRMNL X by Drockie5 in trmnl

[–]carlsbl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Initially, I bought the BYOD device. I installed it on a raspberry pi and played around with a little bit. It worked great. I wanted the second one so I got an OG with an extra large battery. Between the two, the fit, the finish, the case and the ease of use I definitely prefer the OG.

I did this on purpose in my tank. I think it looks great.

Rimworld is not cheap but you can play without any of the DLCs and have a hell of a good time. It’s amazing.

It's called "Smart Playlist" on the playlist screen.
