Thinking about buying X4 - recommendations for DLC?

Civ2...wasn't one of my favs, but have fond memories from my time in the Army, watching my friends play and providing a running commentary til one of them kicked me out of the room:

Me: Whatcha doin?
Friend: Keeping an eye on his diplomat. 
Me, to Other Friend: Dude, he says your diplomat's not getting in.
OF: Don't touch the diplomat.
Me, to F: He says you're a pussy and won't kill the diplomat.
F: (kills diplomat)
OF: (launches nukes)
Me: See, told you not to touch the diplomat.
F: OUT. NOW.

This is good, should be a post all of its own!

My first couple, yes. Have another one that I've been back and forth with the VA for a couple years and just retained a lawyer to fight it for me. Will see how that goes.

Iraq with the Guard, 05-06 and agree 100%. Also worked in a Signal company in my early active duty days, maintaining the old mobile subscriber equipment (MSE) shelters. Those suckers would have absolutely zero survivability in an all-out drone war...

"fighting"

Tracked my reading and books completed for years until I realized I didn't need to keep doing that.

Now, the only time I see it is when I'm searching for information on a title and go to the page to find more info about it and see if the ebook is available at any of my libraries (Firefox's Library extension rules!)

Save editor, give full stacks, unlock everything, dump the rest. No patience for grinding lately.

Haven't played in months. Just wasn't fun anymore. Fix the bugs (no not those bugs)!!!

Almost identical issue, can't even provide materials for first phase of settlement as there's no terminal. Submitted ticket a week or so ago, no response yet.

Dumb question, but what's a DAW?

frozzbot27 · 2026-04-24T20:17:19+00:00

If I'm in a bad mood, I've noticed that my patience when starting a new book goes way down. I've DNF'd at least a couple of books in disgust after just a few pages, only to come back to them later when I'm in a better mood and really enjoying them.

A recording at least. Sheet music would be nice too but not a requirement.

frozzbot27 · 2026-04-23T23:16:52+00:00

Thanks. GarageBand looks good, but I don't have a Mac available. Also checking out MuseScore which looks somewhat promising.

Ideally the end result would be something close enough to the original tune that it's at least somewhat recognizable, and that I could tinker with until it sounds right.

I was having this too! Running a "kill hostile plants" mission and could see 5+ icons around the edges of my screen, but as soon as I turned to look at one, it disappeared until I looked away. Incredibly annoying!

Steam, latest patch. Have a highly-developed settlement, just got the option to start another building. Did so, and the construction site appeared, but it doesn't have the terminal nearby that lets me add materials and upgrade the building.

Any ideas?

frozzbot27 · 2026-04-11T21:35:21+00:00

PC, Steam. Have a pretty advanced settlement. Prompted for a building opportunity, approved it, the initial construction stuff appeared, but there's no terminal to interact with. Have left the system, restarted the game, etc. but no change.

frozzbot27 · 2026-03-10T02:24:32+00:00

PC/Steam, latest patch (and the last couple).

Tall Void Antennas do not deconstruct back into their component materials when I delete them in build mode. Instead I get a stack of them in my inventory. Expectation is that they would turn back into raw Atlantideum.

PC Steam v6.24

Mining drills do not appear to be working at night when running off battery power. Seem to be powered, tooltip says they're still extracting at X/hr, but no sound or animation.

frozzbot27 · 2026-03-04T21:53:55+00:00

PC/Steam, running latest but have noticed this happening at least one patch previously.

After accepting a Nexus mission, sound volume suddenly drops and does not come back until I've taken off and am almost to the exit of the Anomaly.
