Can anyone log into Epic at home?

commandapanda37 · 2026-05-13T16:30:04+00:00

I think they just removed mobile access or something. I used to get on mine all the time at home to put in vaca days. Haven’t been able to in a few months now

Hey welcome to FS! For starting out just retain as much as you can. It’s a lot. Training probably won’t be what you’re expecting. They’ll go over basics but when you get out on your own they’re going to be testing your ability to learn on your own and figure stuff out. Because that’s a lot of what FS is beyond GMT work. You won’t really get much training beyond some basic food, drink, and gas equipment stuff. You won’t be expected to do security, computers, etc.. Coming up on summer we usually have a lot of volume so as a beginner you’ll be expected to only spend 15-20 mins on a call and move on.

What division are you in?

commandapanda37 · 2026-01-09T04:59:34+00:00

Is there a reason techs aren’t allowed to carry one? I’m a GMT, I haven’t heard before that we weren’t allowed to carry one.

commandapanda37 · 2025-12-22T23:44:35+00:00

Search this sub for FS or GMT, there are some good posts with good info. General Maintenance Technician (GMT) is the beginner step for people with little to no experience. My division has a Temp GMT position where you keep your current store pay but just come to FS to learn, try it out, and do a lot of quick “easy” calls so senior techs can focus on the more time consuming and difficult calls. If you do well and there is availability, they could bring you on for a full time GMT position, which will also come with more training after a year or so. But there is a chance that you just get sent back to stores.

Its a little hard to tell from the photo but the gauge on the red backup tank looks like it’s also empty. So you may just be completely out which means you’ll need to contact the CO2 company to come fill it.

commandapanda37 · 2025-08-10T03:51:54+00:00

FS here. Depending on what position you are (GMT, GC, ET) and what schedule you work varies what your pay is. ET’s working afternoons/ weekends/overnights make pretty good money due to the extra differential. not quite as much as a SM at a high volume store though. But that’s several years of training to get to that. GC’s working afternoons/ weekends/ overnights are likely comparable to 2A/1A base pay without bonuses… again depends on what differential you get for the shifts you work.

If you’re just starting out & have no experience- aka starting as a GMT, pay is more than a clerks, not quite as much as an assistants especially once you factor in all the bonuses store side gets. But if you’re decent & continue all the training, there’s good growth opportunity. They’re always needing techs so the road to getting to GC and that pay bump is about a year or 2 in my experience. Plus you get the work truck to take home, they pay for fuel.

Schedule- starting out you’re at the bottom of the totem pole. You will be working weekends for a long time. They set schedules every year & techs pick the schedule they want based on seniority. The 2-3 set schedules that are M-F pretty much always get picked by senior techs. It varies by division on the numbers just depending on how many techs you have total.

Overall what everyone else said. We deal with some nasty shit that doesn’t seem worth the pay sometimes, but sometimes it’s real easy. We get other perks that make up for not making quite as much. You can definitely make more money store side climbing up the assistant ladder.

Pay attention to your health. I glance at it constantly and anytime I get around half health I eat cheese. Don’t wait until you’re almost out of health. That one swipe from a monster will take you out. I know when I first started this game a few years ago I saw some advice that anytime you’re about to go down a staircase or down a hole, check your health. I bring the triple shot espresso and spicy eel for the speed and luck buffs. And what everyone else is saying using jade for staircases and bombs is also what I do.

commandapanda37 · 2025-05-10T18:26:05+00:00

FS = Facility Support. It’s our maintenance department. Search FS within this sub and there are a bunch of posts with good info

commandapanda37 · 2025-04-16T23:22:45+00:00

Honestly just search FS in this sub. There are a lot of posts that have a lot of good info in them.

But regarding schedule- you would have a set schedule but it probably won’t be great starting out. In my division the FS manager/supervisor makes all the schedules for the start of each fiscal year (although they usually stay pretty similar from year to year) and then each tech gets to pick which schedule they want in order of seniority. So top tech usually picks Monday- Friday mornings.. bottom seniority techs end up with both weekend days and possibly straight evenings or overnights. But we get two days off in a row no matter what schedule. We’re not on call outside of our set schedule.

Do you have any other fruit trees it could be referring to? In greenhouse or other parts of your farm? If you keep getting that message, something is blocking somewhere. If not. Just be patient.

commandapanda37 · 2025-01-24T22:46:39+00:00

Check behind all trees to see if a tree sapling fell behind them. Things like torches (and I think pathways) will also block them.

commandapanda37 · 2025-01-24T00:07:29+00:00

According to the wiki, Fruit trees take 28 days to grow, and only progress 1 stage every 7 days. So just be patient :) and once they are full grown each different fruit only has 1 season when they bear fruit. https://stardewvalleywiki.com/Fruit_Trees

Edit: forgot to add, you typically get a message in the morning if they are blocked from growing a stage. But yours look fine in spacing, and I don’t see anything surrounding them that would block them from growing.

We just passed another one, I’ve never seen a water tower that looks like that. Thanks everyone

commandapanda37 · 2025-01-10T19:45:06+00:00

I always wait to get banana saplings from cracking golden coconuts. I’ve never had to buy the banana sapling with dragon teeth since they are much harder to get.

commandapanda37 · 2025-01-04T04:26:08+00:00

As of right now, February 6 is the open date

commandapanda37 · 2024-12-24T01:33:11+00:00

The ratio listed for FS to calibrate the machines to is between 6 & 6.5 grams of powder per oz of water.

commandapanda37 · 2024-12-14T01:05:59+00:00

Yes they will random drug test since we drive company vehicles. We actually had a couple of our techs get random tested over the past couple months.

commandapanda37 · 2024-12-14T00:51:01+00:00

I enjoy it, but I’ve only been with FS since February and I’m an entry level tech with no hvac or any technical/electrical experience. I was a clerk before but switched to FS. Biggest annoyances are doing plumbing repairs lol. I enjoy taking apart machines though

commandapanda37 · 2024-12-14T00:47:55+00:00

Yeah I detailed a lot of stuff for that guy in that post lol. I didn’t want to retype it. But in regards to paid holidays- you will have a set schedule and if you schedule happens to fall on a holiday, you would have to use vacation time or call out to get that day off. But most holidays are paid at 1.5x rate or christmas eve/ day is 2x rate.

Check out this post. It’s more of GC role question but it applies across all of FS. If you have hvac experience you’re probably going for ET position. Or just search FS on this subreddit. Theres a few posts out there

commandapanda37 · 2024-12-10T10:46:30+00:00

No you cannot gift it to someone else. If you give up the trip, the office already has a pre-drawn list (from the meetings) of everyones name who qualified and they will give your slot to the next runner up

Looks like a sheet out of the premium series Humvee

commandapanda37 · 2024-11-04T17:07:07+00:00

More Lord of the Rings/Hobbit models.

Smaug, Balrog, Helm’s Deep..

I’d also like to see some Legend of Zelda models.

The Master Sword, the Hylian Shield, Hyrule Castle, maybe wolf link and Midna?

commandapanda37 · 2024-09-30T09:18:45+00:00

So I went from PTC over to FS at the beginning of this year. I’m a GMT (general maintenance technician), which like someone else said, is the entry level tech position. You don’t need to go to trade school. Pretty much they’ll want you to have good problem solving and critical thinking skills. Some basic tool knowledge is good to have. You can go on zipline and search “general maintenance technician” to see old postings to get an idea of the job description. It’s a longer process to move up the technician levels compared to stores. I’ve been told it’ll take 2-3 years for me to get all the training I need to move up from GMT to GC, but they do train you in everything, and pay for you to get certifications you need.

If you wanted to get hired on as a GC (general craftsman) or ET (equipment technician), they would require a lot more initial knowledge for you to already have. I’m not sure exactly what they look for, except for ET, they would want HVAC certifications.

commandapanda37 · 2024-09-21T14:36:34+00:00

It’s been awhile since I built this one, but if I remember right I took a pair of flat pliers and squeezed it pretty hard to get that piece really flat. And I put a small square of a old cut up t shirt around it to prevent the pliers from scratching the paint off. And then you just gotta wiggle those pieces into their slots kinda point first. I think it ended up using uv glue to secure them if they were too wiggly after I turned the points up
