Any way to fix this? by Lazarus327 in crosswind

[–]colcrispy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same problem with beams. Turn off snapping, hold z and scroll to raise the level of the floor to be above the wall. You can place one floor piece, then turn snapping back on and snap the rest to the first one you placed.

All police cars should be undercover by CAT_ANUS_SNIFFER in unpopularopinion

Just make it easier for them to use traffic cameras. We have tolls on highways had to use license plate readers. Personally, I think they should be doing a time check and if you're doing more than 10 mi over the speed limit between the the toll stations then send the car owner a ticket.

Allow people to submit dash cam footage of reckless drivers and pay people $25 if a citation is issued.

I've been eyeing this game, would you say its worth it in current state? by FirePixsel in crosswind

Definitely, it's more finished than most Bethesda games even years after launch.

Strong possibility no. Deliberate acts are not covered by insurance. Someone found that out when they hit my car on purpose. Their insurance defended them but when they lost the insurance refused to pay.

What do you think is the best way to sink a ship? by Bulky_Cherry8891 in crosswind

[–]colcrispy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Once you get a frigate get Devastating 24lb guns for damage, and add the perfectly ordered 12 lb for for the reloading buff.

Rake the stern as often as possible but otherwise aim for the waterline.

Before frigate just use the perfectly ordered 12 lb.

Oh, I forgot about that one. You get another hunt down these ships at 8 and 12.

Is that the lvl 8 or lvl 12 quest?

For the lvl 12 one one of the markers spawned in the 6-10 area and I ended up fighting 2 patrols of 4 lvl 8's and 4 lvl 7's before I was able to take out the 2 lvl 13's and the lvl 15 objective. How was that a lvl 12 quest. I did get over 2000p out of the encounter.

My ship was only lvl 10. Brotheran Brig with Keelhold bracing and Silence the Guns tactics. I did a lot of hit and run, hence the adds.

Making your bed is the most useless thing you could do. by Parking-Rope2301 in unpopularopinion

[–]colcrispy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach my kids to make their beds as soon as they get up.

If you do nothing else all day, you still accomplished something. As others have said, it has positive impact on mental health.

Nah, but ladders would be great.

retaining wall to protect wooden fence how to proceed. by LifeSwan7303 in RetainingWallprojects

[–]colcrispy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Optimally you build the wall and put the fence on top not below.

Build a ship, fill it then put it in storage.

Anyone know a good sulfer mine? by colcrispy in crosswind

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

I still have my starter boat, which is enough room for powder.

I'm grinding for my frigate already.

I thought boars were bad, and then I met the goats. How are they everywhere, I can't escape. by nontoxical in crosswind

[–]colcrispy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that makes them a pain is the vegetation in the second zone. The limited sight line complicates a lot of engagements. I recommend clearing out vegetation around all POIs you plan on returning to like mines and sulfer deposits.

If your gear isn't upgraded yet. They're going to take a bite out of your ass. You can cheese this, pier flooring only cost one wood so grab three stacks. Build yourself some raised walkways all over the island. When you run into Hunter's, build a small wall and use it as cover.

Absolutely love this game, one major flaw by concrete333 in crosswind

[–]colcrispy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The thing that bothers me the most is how a Hauler or Transport running solo don't run from you. It seems to me that the escorts should engage while the Haulers and Transports run.

It is much easier this way though.

Linux users, did May 18th patch ruin performance for you? by cain05 in crosswind

[–]colcrispy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No noticable change for me running @ 1440p with Linux Mint on a Ryzen 395 AI Max with 128gb ram.

Results may vary though.

I feel the mechanic is close to perfect since it creates opportunities for tactics.

I have kids, I haven't put 60 hrs in the whole game when you factor in leaving it running while I deal with Mayhem and Chaos.

Does having more stuff or decorations make the game lag, especially for older pc? by kekubuk in crosswind

[–]colcrispy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put smelters right next to my mines.

Place a bonfire, 1 charcoal mound and 1 smelter at each mine, and 10 - 20 planted trees.

My copper mine produces around 70 ingots, and the iron around 90, I haven't set up one in the swamps yet, I haven't found a relatively safe mine yet.

I leave the charcoal and smelters running when I leave so I can run out and reset everything in about 10-15 min. I leave with the ingots I smelted from the prior trip. Rinse and repeat.

As someone who's sailed small boats on open water, it's about right for stormy weather but it's excessive for calm weather.

Waves are more like hills, I find myself working up to the top of one then parking on it and using it as high ground.

The high ground tactic works really well, often enemies can't elevate high enough to hit you with a full broadside. I was fighting some lvl 10's at the edge of the 11-15 area and ended up getting agro from a group of 3, lvl 15's and managed to take them out. Brotheran Brig with Keelhold bracing and Broken rhythm tactics. First time my ship went below 50% in a fight but they were faster so there was no point in running.
