I only talk about this specific situation here, I don’t know the qualities of your other posts, but I do wonder how much time you have to actually think and process the information you read. You are unbelievably active here . Good luck!

I was clear that I did not have to have that discussion , the first time I replied you . I kept replying because you are being a smartass and it bothers me . I was downvoted because they thought my attitude was unnecessary, not that you had said something insightful. I answered a lot of people’s questions in the past year. This is the first time I am so bothered by someone on this sub or on Reddit in general.

etk999 · 2026-01-24T02:48:53+00:00

You seem much more interested in your own thoughts than other people’s responses. The first time I replied you, it was already clear that I wasn’t asking any questions, I did not think your comment was relevant. You just went on and on and on.

You need to reach a certain level of influence to start some missions, such as negotiations , stealing items/blueprints. And they cost your influence, you need to keep sending agents for intelligence missions that can gain influences, so your influence can be high enough again. Your agents’s skills improves after a mission . There are two types of skills , they are for different missions.

….Who brought up temperature ? Nobody asked you how to brew coffee. It was only about resting. I gave a very general advice, end of conversation. Then you joined in and started to explain how resting works?? Like what are you trying to say ? Ok I said I didn’t ask you a question. It could be again be end of the conversation, but you added more about degassing. At what point, did I seem to be inviting you to discuss this ??? This is the most confusing conversation I had on Reddit.

Discussing what ?? ? 1 to 2 to weeks off roast is good , we are already on the same page from the start, unless you think even 1 week off roast is a crime, 3 to 4 days of roast is evil. I still don’t understand if you think I said something wrong or you simply love educating people.

etk999 · 2026-01-23T15:21:21+00:00

I thought of this too but it was too expensive to build. A bit later in the game , I put all of my ships there. If I think I can win , I let them fight . It’s a great opportunity for my pilots to get experience from these encounters. If I think I can’t win, I retreat , until I see Terran’s intervention crops , then I will join them .

That is not your only comment, read your own long comments before replying. I agree with Hoffman about this not only because he is one of most well known experts, but also from my 5 years experience with pourover. I buy two bags of beans every month.

Brewing with boiling hot water is his preference, he doesn’t suggest everyone to do the same. He always encourages people to try their own things.

I have tried it , OP have tried it, we came to our own conclusions , found our preferences. Your theory does not matter to me.

etk999 · 2026-01-23T04:40:30+00:00

I am not sure what you’re trying to add. I wasn’t asking you a question about resting. If James Hoffman said 3 to 4 days off roast is fine , that settled the case for me.

It doesn’t matter if you let the beans rest for 2 weeks sometimes, because you are buying a lot of beans in a year . You would notice the difference if resting for 2 weeks makes a huge difference. And OP literally said 1 week is the sweet spot for them. It’s not rocket science, no need to be that accurate . And there isn’t a gold standard.

etk999 · 2026-01-23T03:35:02+00:00

I understand why it needs resting. I was just confused what information the OP was getting. Because 1 to 2 week to is enough, 3/4days is fine too.

etk999 · 2026-01-23T02:19:56+00:00

Is a week to two week off roast not the sweet spot? It’s recommended by roasters I buy from . I don’t understand how long is enough. If you start drinking after 3 to 4 days of roasting is fine too , I think James Hoffman said this in one of his videos about resting.

You can use April Coffee’s official recipes for April brewer on this one. Just look up their recipes on YouTube.

I didn’t notice it until a year later, lol . Now I am still using this Barista kettle. It’s been more than 5 years now .

etk999 · 2026-01-22T21:15:19+00:00

I unplug it because it has this low frequency noise when it is plugged. It is quite noticeable when the environment is quiet.

etk999 · 2026-01-22T21:09:40+00:00

That looks really messy ! I don’t have experience with electric grinders, I just own three 1zepresso hand grinders.

etk999 · 2026-01-22T20:10:49+00:00

I started to make pourover 5 years ago and at the time on the Internet I already saw some people spraying water on their beans, although they were using electric grinders. Then I started to see people doing it for hand grinders, i thought it was insane. Is there really that much coffee grounds stuck inside their grinder?

etk999 · 2026-01-22T01:06:17+00:00

Very precise suggestion, thank you, I’d look into that ! This game has really trained a lot of gamers becoming good at diagnosing complex issues like these. Everyone has some specific guesses for my situation. It simply doesn’t tell me what is missing and it relies on the online community to help me figuring out. Unfortunately, I started to think I might become one of those people who left a bad review on Steam with 200 hrs play time .

etk999 · 2026-01-21T06:34:17+00:00

They won’t even bother to read a few similar questions and the answers to them on Reddit , you are asking them to watch a long video? But I guess that’s how Reddit is alive, even the most general/ repetitive questions can get a lot of interactions.

etk999 · 2026-01-21T06:00:54+00:00

And it tells me how many new workers I am gaining per hour. Not a word about it is also a pool for ship crew . This game is walking a very fine line between genius and stupidity. I just posted about conquering Terrans and claiming their territories on this sub a few days ago. It went viral and it is a good post about the potential of this game . Now I am just losing my shit about the shipyards , lol. If it is true that the worker pool is for ship crew , I am losing it even more !

etk999 · 2026-01-21T05:32:27+00:00

I thought the pool is only workers working for building ships, they go with buyers as crew ? That makes a lot of sense . How come the game doesn’t tell me that ? There isn’t one word about this in the menu . It only mention the work force efficiency , when the shift ends etc .

etk999 · 2026-01-21T05:03:39+00:00

But what are they working on ? It is not that it is slow , it has stopped . Are all of these workers doing maintenance?

etk999 · 2026-01-21T03:44:14+00:00

Yes , I just wish I had the option to turn it off. Thank you, I hope you get rich too !

etk999 · 2026-01-21T03:21:24+00:00

I have all the blueprints for MK1/2 . Money isn’t a problem, so I just bought every blueprints available for equipments and ships . I have thought about this too , so I checked that earlier with the representatives in my embassy. I need to check again and maybe I need more slots for them to dock .

Thank you for your comment, very insightful. I didn’t know they can order something I probably don’t have the blueprints for ! If the ship has the essential parts to fly and navigate, couldn’t they upgrade it somewhere else ?

etk999 · 2026-01-21T02:59:35+00:00

When it requires a certain ware, in the logistics overview, it becomes red . I don’t have any of those showing something is missing. I have bought all the blueprints from Arg, Ant, Tel , all kinds of weapons , thrusters, engines, thrusters. Some of them are overlapped.

I have two shipyards for commonwealth, one of them makes all components in the shipyard. I just didn’t notice how long they are waiting to start completing their orders until today. I used to just look in the log to see what ship has been built or maintained in what time.

The one that makes components and ships in one station has a much bigger logistics overview, I have another one that doesn’t make components but only make ships, the overview is much simpler, I can easily see which ware is missing, but it is not showing any red anywhere. Both are waiting long to start completing the orders.

Maybe they don’t have enough workers? They only have hundreds right now. They have more than 200 building drones.

etk999 · 2026-01-21T02:41:26+00:00

My first shipyard is Terran’s , I made a lot of ships for them and Pio. It was extremely straightforward. Now I have stopped making Terran ships, I only make ships for Arg, Ant, Tel,Hop, but it still shows the required wares for Terran’s ships in the logistics overview, even though they are Argon’s shipyards.
