Good morning,

Possible Asked Questions:

How did I plan this?
- There was no planning lol. I originally wanted to just take the sector to own it and build a station or two... Then that turned into "I'm going to make a city.... A super city!"

Did you use SETA?
- No.

Why didn't you use SETA?
- I used SETA all the time in X3. Though, in X4, it has been quite enjoyable not having SETA. I kick off a day build at a time, go to sleep, or play other games in the background, and wake up to seeing progress on it. This has been fun to me. Seeing something go according to plan over night / weeks.

What's your FPS?
- Not in sector, 60 FPS. In sector, 55-ish FPS. Near city, I think 25 or 30.

Do you stream this?
- Ehh.... I'm not consistent when I stream. Kind of turn on the stream when i want to and I don't exclusively play X4 either.

Are you still building onto it?
- Yeah, I don't think I'll stop building onto this thing. Trying not to jack up the top side. As, after thinking on this part of the build for 2 or 3 weeks now, I don't want to mess up the view from the top.

If there's other questions, I'll do my best to answer them but man. X4 is fun. I used to be all combat 24/7 in X3:TC but not in X4. I'm just enjoying building things. About to expand into another sector just because I can. I'm enjoying this Egosoft. I really am. Thank you

1) When I first started, almost 30 days straight. Since then, I've lost count, as it's been off and on. Get distracted flying around or stopping XEN somewhere. Whenever I'm playing X, I'm normally adding something onto it. GOG says I have 1,336H logged in X4, save file has 55 days logged according to Statistics tab. Only been playing 1 save file since 2.4 or 2.5, don't remember which patch. Also, this is not turning off the game except to upload my save file to GOG cloud every 12 - 20 hours. 5 minute process. After it's uploaded, I relaunch game. As this was crucial when I was first starting out, I barely made money. So, it was essential to leave the game running nonstop since I don't use SETA.

2) I couldn't tell you a truthful answer. If you took the blueprint and try to build it, the game says it'll cost 750M to build from scratch. A good 80% of my game time since starting building this station, it's always having something new added to it.

3) Right now, hovering between 250 - 400M/hour.
