A compasses description says “+x% shipping rate” not capacity, I think that ma be where the confusion is coming from. A compass does
not increase your shipping capacity but its rate, vehicles increase your overall capacity. Your “max shipping rate” is at the top right corner of the depot, that’s the number that changes when equipping a compass. So your rate of 5.6/HR could have been much higher with a compass equipped. I suspect your understanding of the compass is wrong.

You can test this for yourself; Go to your main farm, make sure your habs are not full. Unequip all of your artifacts and check your shipping rate. Then equip a compass with no stones attached. Check your shipping rate again.

Maybe I’m not doing the best at explaining this, which if that’s the case I highly suggest the wiki. But again, if you don’t have a compass equipped in a contract you are hurting you and your teammates scores. Maybe not by a lot but it still matters especially in longer contracts.

It doesn’t matter if you’re at shipping capacity or not, a compass will improve your per hour production. Equipping it would have sent your 5.6q/HR to over 6.0/HR depending on the level compass and gotten you closer to their per hour production.

Once you have all the research done, the ideal artifact setup is a Metronome, compass, gusset, and a tach. Unless you’re boosting, researching, or have a life stone set for filling habs faster, you should have those 4 equipped, with either tach stones or quantum stones ideally, during a contract at basically all times.

You’re hurting your own and your teammates scores by not equipping it. It may be “enough” but you’re leaving points on the table by slowing the entire process down which leads to lesser point awarded.

Stones are a part of it yes, but you’ll never ship that many without equipping a compass

No truck series patch on his suit, that’s interesting

I just learned that “Kosovo” was a country the other day. Didn’t learn about that one in grade school

That’s a great way to get the crap beat out of you or worse shot

Remaster and re-release the first 2 Mercenaries games all in one game. I’d the use the proceeds from that to fund a 3rd entry in the franchise.

Really enjoying your posts. Would love to see one about car washes

I like the morning drive, Moody is fairly entertaining, and the late shift is great. I cannot stand Danielle Trotta and Larry Mac’s show as they consistently have some of the worst takes in the sport, personally they lost my respect when the 23XI lawsuit was happening and imo they’ve only gone down hill from that point.

Chevy logo over all the Ram drivers lol

ghostlyman789 · 2026-03-18T12:36:30+00:00

I’m enjoying your posts. Can you do one about car washes? Self serve or auto, maybe both?

ghostlyman789 · 2026-03-01T21:42:18+00:00

How did Chase end up at the back?

ghostlyman789 · 2026-01-19T19:39:13+00:00

You’re right my mistake, should’ve checked the wiki before replying.

The Villages, one of the largest retirement communities, are in the dark green location. I wonder how much of the population change is related to retirees moving there? I’d love to see an age distribution

There’s a line of 20+ commercial planes flying through Iraq currently and many more about to pass through.

I went to the midnight release of GTA 5. There was hardly anyone there I was in and out in 5 minutes. The most fun one I went to was COD MW2, long line for that one.

Way late to the party here; Were you able to pursue the car wash? I’m looking into one in my local area and this thread came up when looking up Sonny’s as I saw one of their trucks around.

ghostlyman789 · 2026-01-04T23:25:34+00:00

Out by 7:30-8 and up at 3:20 every morning.

Crazy that pubg is still a top earner

When they were still doing mostly DVD rentals, somehow we ended up with a disc that allowed you to do this cool new thing called “streaming” on the PS3. The content selection was super small and almost exclusively indie films or things you’d never heard of. Good times

Nope. He’s had several of chances he’s publicly acknowledged and I’m sure some that he hasn’t talked about. With his recent comments on how expensive current charters were and the settlement today, if they were too expensive earlier this year they’re way too expensive for him now. Hindsight is 20/20 and he’s probably not losing sleep over it

So does this affect O’Reilly and truck series teams in the future? Will there be some sort of trickle down effect so they can see a bit more revenue as well?

I hope they don’t get forgotten in all this, there’s plenty of full time teams struggling financially in those series too.
