If you're making multiples of an item, you can hover over the first one and press a button (E by default on PC) and it will craft more of that item and stack them automatically.

I’m on PS4 pro as well, similar experience. Seems like the longer I play the more frequent the crashes come, like its coming apart at the seams

It’s whatever though, it’s day 2 of a massive new patch that’s basically a new game, I expect it’ll take a few months for them to sort all this poo poo out

I feel like I somehow mus thave broken the scripting for base building or the main story because I am making NO progress. Barely any new unlocks or ionformation today, though the one I did find--teleporter station you can set down at bases--was kinda nice.

I question the value of planetary bases at all when freighters exist, though :confused:

(e) So what are people preferring between KBM and controller? I keep flipflopping, I prefer KBM overall but the 'quick' menu is just asininely bound.

Are the water coastlines/waves and clouds not so nice or is there something janky on my end? I fairly recently upgraded to a GTX 1080 and everything is bumped right up, seems weird that the water, clouds and skybox look so bad compared to the rest of the game.

Yep, I totally found this by accident last night trying to batch out building materials. Does it dupe on drop, or dupe when #1 is in use?

Nothing has to be in use, although if you use it beforehand you can dupe both input AND output (and fuel, except carbon is plentiful enough). In fact, nothing needs to have an actual purpose for refining, it just needs to be placed into #1 refinery. Nothing needs to be active or working at all. If it is working, #2 will dupe/snapshot #1 state at that moment and continue working by itself though.

If it makes you feel any better I also run on ultra with 1080 and sky/clouds look as hideous as on your screens. Unless there really is some tweak I don't know about?

You can refine activated metals into a truly ridiculous amount of chromatic metal, which is used in a ton of blueprints.

I always wear my wedding ring. It's my trademark.

I have to admit that I've been using the dupe cheat as well, but currently only for warp cell materials. For the rest, I don't mind a bit of grinding but I just don't want to be restricted in exploring.

Probably going to stock up my freighter with a whole bunch of warp cells before this gets fixed (which will also become a grind in itself, I guess).

You're breaking my balls here
So after putting nine hours into Next, I load my save and get the "Initialise" (sic) screen. It starts a new character, my old character and ship seemingly gone. I alt-f4'd before it could save, but I tried this three times with the same results. Is my save just gone?

EDIT: I fixed it! Anybody having this issue should read this guide. It explains how to manually edit the save file to fix it. It seems to be caused by partially repairing a ship subsystem, so don't repair subsystems until you have everything.

I did the welfare freighter mission, went inside and talked to the captain, got it, put some stuff in it, left the freighter did some other stuff. Later I tried to summon the freighter and it's telling me I don't own one... help please?

Wow, you don't even need to dupe the materials, you can just dupe warp cells on its own. As long as the origin refiner has something in it as output.
My warp cells are multiplying exponentially.

They look good during the day but there's some weird green-tint artifacting thing going on at night, not sure what that's about.

Other than that and the fact that they all seem to be moving super fast all the time, it's 10x better than what the game had before.

Apparently one modder has already sorted out how to slow down the clouds, but not the ground shadows yet so it's still a work in progress.

Until you can build a trade console and a portal on your freighter, I feel like building on a freighter is 100% useless.

Also, my freighter has lost all its Korvax and has been taken over by Gek. ... What the gently caress?

S-rank scanner module gives "Massive bonus to fauna and flora rewards" eh? I bet it's just a 100% bonus at most...



Huh

Grab this early on if you can. Will set you back around 450 nanites, but should make getting started a hell of a lot easier. One rare scan gets you around 150k units, and this is without having connected the module to the scanner itself.

Like, yeah, they've been in for months and you didn't know. Not only that but all of them crashed the same exact way across every planet.

Man, consuming all the game has to offer after each major patch has completely hosed my perception of how big this update is to everyone who is playing it for the first time since launch. :(

That happened to me too and it's good to see that someone figured out how to fix it.

Annoying that I need to register to download the save editor, though.

I have two questions, one quick and one long:
-Is there a way to move a Base Computer after it's been placed, like, into your base structures? Feels dumb that I have to leave it outside.
-I bought a ship on a freighter, and left my old one there. I took off and made a couple of warp jumps and I have no idea if I can ever find it again. Similarly, I found a crashed ship later on, but couldn't repair it on the spot. Both are still in my collection, but when I go to "Summon Ship" it just tells me "Cannot Land Here" regardless of where I am. Is there any practical way to get these back? Feels weird to have them in my collection if I can't even use them.

No, I don’t think so. I saved a freighter but didn’t take the one granted to me because I thought it looked stupid. The next battle I saved a freighter still gave me the option for the free one.

Yeah I think it’s triggered so that the first freighter Captain you talk to passes his freighter to you.

That said apparently you need to be careful during the dialogue and accept it on the spot because it causes ownership issues if you don’t.

I ask because I ran into a freighter fleet but there was no conflict and the owner wanted like 150 mil for it. So I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything

Yeah, you need to save one in a battle. I don’t know how it decides what to give you - I got a 27 slot one and that seemed like a good deal but was also the same number of slots as my ship.

Has anyone had unrepairable frigates? That’s currently the only really major bug I’ve had this patch beyond some multiplayer weirdness that was ignorable.

Game looks good. I'm not sure if the core gameplay loop has changed enough to keep me interested, but at least it's nice to breathe some life back into my 30 hour save file.

Are there any goon communities / hubs for PS4 players? It'd be nice to try out some of the multiplayer shenanigans.
