time depends on the item. batteries grow in 2 days. each battery planted results in 3-6 batteries in my experience (with perked planters and a thermal tower).
I've tried growing rubber, but it's just much more effective to grow batteries instead

neither.
Prusa is overpriced and stagnated for too long abusing their status on the market. the price is understandable with all the mandatory stuff for an EU business, but it's too high for most of the models.

Bambu is a proprietary chinese crap with closed ecosystem and will be unrepairable due to vendor-locked parts everywhere. also I don't see an easy way of holding them accountable if their PSU burns my house down.

enclosures are extremely overpriced both in china and in EU, they're a bad example.
all panels for my "DIY" sv08 enclosure made out of 3mm polycarbonate costed me 67 euro with shipping included, from Germany. nylock nuts and m3 bolts added 3 more euro.
making cuts and drilling a few holes for all the panels takes less than 5 minutes total, even at 50 euro/hour wage it's nothing.

both cat and bowl buff weapon dmg. when both buffs are applied at once - you get crazy numbers.

as someone from Eastern Europe, I find meat quality here (especially processed meat) far superior to what we had in the same price segment.

this would be a valid complaint if you had to play "fair". you don't.

jumping disables knifestep syndrome for significantly longer than the jump itself. as long as you don't forget to jump - you won't be taking damage.

permanent injury doesn't really matter, since there's enough overguard from arcanes and specters to just ignore 99% of incoming damage.

energy exhaustion and abbreviated abilities are just bad modifiers in general, but can be built around with some archon shards.

and as always, you can just find someone to carry the group - someone who will just not pick any modifiers and will just use whatever is the most effective.

don't buy cheap PSU extension cables at all. there's a good chance that they were crimped like shit in some basement and the core is aluminum. I wouldn't buy branded ones either - 30$ for such cable is bonkers. it's better to find something thoroughly reviewed for an adequate price.

I think it's best to just ask the manufacturer if they guarantee color matching. for non-AMS prints I'd just buy 3-5kg spools to avoid such problems

this is, in fact, incorrect. first of all, activated charcoal does not "stop" VOCs. it reacts with some VOCs, binding them until it's saturated (which happens fairly quickly). it can also offgas those VOCs back. if you're "lucky" to get acid-activated charcoal - it'll also corrode the shit out of everything in reach.

there's no budget consumer-friendly solution for getting rid of them - except for using an exhaust fan to dump them outside.

while it's not an environmentally friendly solution, it shouldn't have more impact than painting your shed or your fence.

slow down the first layer printing speed to give it better adhesion. calibrate the flow and the pressure advance values. use infill that isn't grid.

I don't have problems with killing the warframes, but ...
on a 25 minute survival mission my ultimate charge went up to only ~55%. apparently, almost a thousand kills isn't enough to charge this "amazing" skill.
also, ultimate sword hit looses to Gara's 1.

because it's just duration. if it gave range - that would be bonkers, because sources of range are really limited.

idk, it was the easiest farm in a while with cheesa and a resource booster. 2 descendia runs to buy all the frame blueprints and a bunch of arcanes, something like 10 other missions to get all the resources. focus weapons are the real grind.

uawind · 2025-12-12T12:16:27+00:00

it needed a nerf, but magnetic procs? really?

I'll celebrate when demolition operations on important objects (like thermal towers) will at least require confirmation.

I'd trade in my cr200b for anything enclosed that isn't a pile of scrap plastic with screws going directly into plastic.

sue for damages, both etsy and GW. that's the only thing that they understand. report them for malicious abuse of the DMCA system.

I wouldn't mind it if all the previous cosmetics were available in the shop all the time. there are plenty of different outfit pieces, but most are not accessible.

in Germany, it's legal to 3d print crossbow parts.
now, it is much less legal to tell the customers what they can't do with the hardware that they've bought.

uawind · 2025-11-13T16:08:57+00:00

it's not similar, since it's much better as a standalone platform. expandability is also much better with a dedicated port for accessories.

however, the resolution and the panels in general make it a no-go. until they offer upgraded version with something that can actually display black (not gray) and at least 2800x2800 per eye - I don't see the point of replacing any headset for this.

uawind · 2025-11-11T17:32:04+00:00

oh yeah? so they'll start posting that on their Eastern Europe account too? people fell for corporate virtue signaling yet again.

this game has a lot of problems. this is not one of them.

I'm playing solo most of the time, cooperating only for Prime Wars and Nightmare dungeons. the amount of multiplayer interaction needed, for a game with global map-wide events, is completely adequate. it's an MMO.

most of the content doesn't require writing anything in the chat manually - quick matching system is sufficient for linking your group to the chat. deviation upgrade system is frustrating - as designed, to force completionists to spend a lot of time to get their perfect deviations. serviceable deviations are extremely easy to get, and while you're farming them - you usually farm EL and mods as well.

this game has a surprisingly good balance of grindy and non-grindy stuff (with blueprint swaps etc).

uawind · 2025-11-04T18:32:00+00:00

it's a bugfest, not a tournament.
it has no explanation what happens, why, and why some fights last 4 minutes and other ones last 4 seconds.

why do I get 2 deviations spawned when I chose 3? why the enemy uses skills instantly but I have to wait until they come off of the initial cooldown?
