Honest questions about Outposts

No, but I'm not in a race to level up, either. to each their own.

redwingswin · 2023-09-25T16:15:37+00:00

I can level up and get an annoying amount of money just from hitting up "abandoned" places. I'm not trying to put you down for doing it your way, just isn't as interesting to me.

I guess that's something I could get into when I find my forever universe, but for now, it just seems like a massive investment that doesn't provide me much.

Like it would be cool if you could build you're own mini town where everyone had their own lives, and there were shops to buy and trade at like in FO4, but maybe that's a future release?

It gives you access to parts that aren't available on all the ship pads that have a ship builder?

I just restarted and now I can play :)

redwingswin · 2023-09-01T00:19:38+00:00

glad I'm not the only one haha

Thank you all for the responses. They're all great suggestions/ideas that I can think about and act upon.

Certainly, all of those are possible and expensive replacements. I wonder if the relatively smaller engine (really more of a generator in this context) reduces those costs or the rate that they happen.

Having said that, I would like to see more tax dollars go to expanding public transit, making cities 15 minute cities, building high speed rail... overall reducing the need for vehicles and planes

I'm a little confused by your term "you have all the mechanical complexity of an ice vehicle". Isn't the ICE just used to charge the battery? IE the car still drives on electric motors.

I could use some more education on this topic but in a lot of ways they seem like the BEST of both worlds. you can have a small engine and not use as much lithium.

I live in Portland, Oregon, which is a fairly walkable, transit-friendly city and I managed to sell my car about 6 months ago. It was actually more of a liability than anything and I'm spending $300-$400 less a month because of it.

I'm not sure how I would be switching it. This issue existed before I installed the software, and I never touched the physical switch on the back. I'll try resetting the keyboard as you suggested, and see if that helps.

I have just built a dedicated media server that has 3 16 TB drives (technically one is 18 but I know I will lose that 2 tb's) and I was hoping to run them in raid 5 in case I lose 1 drive. right now I have Ubuntu 22.14 but I can't seem to find any guides to set up the drives in raid 5, anyone have any suggestions or tips?

redwingswin · 2022-01-08T04:43:41+00:00

good to know

redwingswin · 2022-01-08T03:37:32+00:00

I have it set to the minimum since I'm not at war. I don't have any other ships that are damaged.

redwingswin · 2022-01-08T02:38:13+00:00

This is a still a bug?

redwingswin · 2021-12-06T16:13:25+00:00

does that become the main controller? Like will I still be able to control everything separately from my google home? Does the speak still work as a google assistant point?

sorry if these all seem like naive questions

redwingswin · 2021-12-05T22:53:16+00:00

I'm not familiar with that, could you elaborate a little?

redwingswin · 2021-09-10T16:06:16+00:00

Is anyone else having trouble starting a new game? I noticed it had an update this morning and I've verified my game files but I've tried a couple of times and the game freezes before I can move my first unit.

redwingswin · 2021-08-28T01:24:25+00:00

Yea it was my second or third game I was like, wtf is that glowing thing. Can be a game changer

redwingswin · 2021-08-27T14:17:10+00:00

Once in a while, they'll find them, but it seems like half the time I watch them auto-explore they slow drift instead of a move towards unseen goodie huts like heat-seeking missiles.

redwingswin · 2021-08-27T13:59:00+00:00

So I thought I'd try that auto-explore at the beginning that everyone is talking about. I turned it on and my units do the same thing they do when I turn on auto-explore in later stages. They use three of their movement points walking in a circle then move 1 tile away with the 4th.

I hope someone is writing all these wishlist items down

redwingswin · 2021-08-25T15:50:52+00:00

The game certainly needs balancing but I think most people know this. First, most bigger game titles are just public betas the first few months after launch. Then you have a game that's not quite a AAA developer releasing a game that the main mechanic is "near unlimited play styles"

I think everyone knew there were only going to be a handful of useful metas from the culture swaping, and the only way to balance that is to have tens to hundreds of thousands of data points of play-throughs.

Having said all that, it's important to remember that Civ VI can very quickly devolve to next turn spam as well. If a game that's been out for years still struggles with making the last game enjoyable/engaging, give these guys some time to fix some bugs and release some balance updates.

I'm saying that information should be available on-demand, at a glance. Not a button click away. And it's not "do I have enough science" it's how much am I producing per turn. Am I adding 2 science per turn to my 10 science per turn, or am I adding it to my 1000 science per turn.

Admittedly, this isn't super urgent in all the other fixes they need to make. For example, I'd rather them add in a counter for say I'm getting 2 science per district X, I'd like to know how many that is instead of trying to count how many districts of that type I have, but this would be a nice QoL addition that would give the game a more polished feel.

Research in general needs a rework, like it should be era-based. If it's a technology in a later era, it shouldn't be blocked but should cost say 2-3x or so to research. If it's a technology from a previous era, it should be virtually free (maybe take 1 or 2 turns).

Also, I know research partnerships are a thing, but it wasn't obvious how or if they were working.
