Welcome to X4 Guide, my attempt at yet-another-awesome-fan-resource for the video game X4: Foundations. I spent over three months conceptualizing, designing, and developing this website (and the many tools that aren’t yet finished).
My goal was to have x4guide.com up and running in time for the highly anticipated version 9.00 release, titled the “Empire Update.”
The layout is finished for the most part, but I still need to write up a lot of content. Not to mention, finish the several more tools that are in progress. But, I am releasing this website as-is, since today is the day: the version 9.00 release!
Website UI: I think the UI is very close to being final. I think it looks decent across the multiple devices I’ve tested it on. If you find a device that doesn’t display the website correctly, please open a ticket request on the X4 Guide official support page (which is also a bit empty at the moment).
The Supply Chain Calculator Tool: This is the big “day-one” feature I’m releasing that is mostly functioning and useful. It is my attempt at creating a better station calculator and production chart, all in one tool. Soon, I plan on also adding a feature that uses algorithms to auto-optimize your supply chain. When you enter which production modules you are interested in building, it will calculate the exact number of modules needed based on factors like upfront cost and diminishing returns.
Setting up monetary support pages: I am currently unemployed and am paying all of the costs related to hosting, development, etc., and am providing this website free of charge and free of ads. I greatly appreciate any support you can give, whether that be directly through one of the tip options, or indirectly through using and sharing this website.
