Yeah, but mod devs are people with lives doing this for free, so I’m not going to fault any of them for inevitably not being able to update stuff in time.
At least they’re adding native search and vein mining functions so those QoL features are taken care of!
Fuck.
I just got all my mods in order again after not having played in a long while.
Now this is on the horizon.
There should be a word for this intense mix of excitement and dread I feel over this. Can’t wait to have to do it again.
Though not every fail state is going to show up. If you start seeing weird intermittent behaviour from a drive, for goodness sake find a way to back it up immediately.
My mum’s new nuc started having some issues, SMART showed perfect drive health. After trying a few things to diagnose, I rebooted to run memtest and check for bad ram, and that was the last time it ever booted into windows. Controller or something on the nvme ssd died. Far too expensive to try and repair for data recovery. Thankfully had a… Somewhat recent backup. Not as recent as we would have liked.
I also used to hit the component bottle neck until pretty recently. Unless you want to figure it out yourself:

What you want to do is try to get the long range mineral scanner and drop pods quickly, scan for components, and then drop pod in your miners with some supplies, maybe an animal to carry stuff, mine out the resource node and then travel back home with the goodies.
I went from struggling to get components outside of traders to having full teams in power armour pretty much instantly. Now my problem is that I accumulate wealth too fast and end up fighting off huge raids.
