I’m already up to 4. can we upgrade/add/replace our freighter with a bigger one? I’m seeing some people lucked into super nice ones with their freebie but mine is tiny

Another thing to mention, since John Walker over at RPS didn't seem to realize this. You can exit out of the refinery and go do other things while it does it's refining.

Sort of, they still stack if they don't touch but touching applies an additional smaller bonus. Add instructions on how to do the melee-jetpack trick, I don't think it's documented anywhere for new players.

I wish there was a way to own spare multi-tools because the current system makes me hesitate to upgrade the one I currently own in favour of the 24 slot model that you get by RNG. I gave away my starting tool with the s-rank analyzer bonus by mistake and I feel greatly diminished.

I’ve been warping from system to system looking for a new one ever since like some greedy quantum leap. it has become my main quest the alien didn’t speak any loving English how I was supposed to know he was going to take my old multitool and gently caress off

I got two to add - Having your freighter and your ground base in the same system seems to cause base quest progression problems in some cases. Try jumping the freighter to another system and saving/reloading afterward to resolve - While sprinting, melee then jump in quick succession to fly at high speed as long as your fuel lasts

OK, as fun as base building on a lush, vibrant ocean planet is, there is something seriously wrong if you can't find any "Dihydrogen" on a loving ocean planet  Now I had to stop everything and emergency safe + log out because my life support kept running out. Mind you, I have tons of carbon but apparently my future tech can't accept water not in crystal form, so I can't craft gel to support myself. There is also no oxygen here. Apparently all those creatures are methan-breathers or something? Any idea what I can do now, except hoping the few crystals I found respawn after restarting the game?

So am I not allowed to use a teleporter that my co-op partner put in his base, even though I have pretty much full permissions to that base via the base computer? I get no prompt when I walk near it. On PC.

I am not very far, I haven't even passed the tutorial to my knowledge, but where are all these terminals in the station? When i got to the part about making some credits in the tutorial, it said to get missions, but I couldn't ever find any missions and I ended up just mining a bunch of silver and selling it to pass that part.

If it shows up at all it means a sentinel can see you and might not like what your doing. If the icon isn't there you can burn the world down without them caring. The only exceptions is certain items (Gravitino Balls/etc) will trigger an alert no matter what.

Alright, is there any point where you are not constantly running out of fuel for everything? It feels like I spend most of my time getting materials to keep my bars up so I can continue... getting materials to keep my bars up. I get that it's a survival game but if this is the loop, I'm out.

Inzombiac posted:Alright, is there any point where you are not constantly running out of fuel for everything? You can find ships that have launch thruster efficiency modules Buy a ton of ferrite dust and dihydrogen and produce 20 launch thruster fuel units at a time, they stack 20 deep in regular inventory stack life support/hazard protection modules together to increase fuel efficiency of those fuel quickly quickly by hitting X(keyboard) or down on the d-pad, the menu will start on whatever is lowest it is the basic survival loop of the game, but you can make it easier depending on what irks you the most. Once you have the inventory to store a bunch of stuff and the cash to buy materials you can ignore survival for the most part.

Seems like they have a really low sight range and you can just move away from them if they get nearby. Obviously this doesn't help if you're in your inventory and they fly up to you, which they seem to like to do

Upgrade the mining laser immediately to advanced so you can hit rocks with the t2 materials. They are vastly more efficient for reloads. Upgrade suit life support and hazard stuff and it will also drain slower. The only thing I feel like I'm reloading a lot is the terrain tool.

Wingnut Ninja posted:I'm really mystified by sentinels as a game mechanic. It seems like they're there to provide an "enemy" and allow for combat, but there's no way to win against them. Kill one and more, stronger ones just immediately teleport in, forever. It would make sense if you had to clear out sentinels that were guarding an especially valuable thingamabob, but there's no way to do that. They just permanently block off your ability to operate in certain areas. And yes, it was great to discover that they can phase straight through a mountain, so you can't even dig a tunnel to hide in. I think they wanted a "GTA Police-like" mechanic to punish you for doing "bad" things but in GTA it's actually fun to fight/kill/escape them, none of these things apply to Sentinels.

So I've discovered this game does not want you to deviate from its plan in any way, shape, or form, and it will punish you severely if you do. For example: - Started new game, repaired starter ship, started doing quests, etc - Found crashed ship worth a lot, swapped out old ship, traded new expensive ship for newer (rare) ship - Get to the part where you finally start to make warp fuel. Happen to find some instead so I use it. - "Oops!" says the game, "You broke the sequence! I'm not going to let you warp!" - Find out I have to swap out my cool ship for a new one, get more warp fuel, power that, THEN I can warp. - Lose cool old ship, fix sequence break... cheat to get old ship back. I literally had to bust out cheat engine to reset my net worth from the bug. I was having fun, but this definitely soured the experience a bit. So a word of advice for new players, DO NOT break sequence. Do exactly what the quests tell you and nothing more.

It’s probably a bug, hope they fix it fast. The game does not give you the recipe for anti-matter until AFTER your first warp. The housing is given right off. They give a mission that lets you grab anti-matter straight up. You use that to make your first warp battery. Warp, then you get the anti-matter recipe.

Can’t believe they have a trillion procedurally generated planets and animals and stuff and there’s still only three alien factions, one of which is a warrior race called The Vikings A trillion procedurally named rocks and trees and exactly one space station layout, one abandoned facility layout, etc etc. Reshuffling the tech tree to add processing times to everything while keeping in the “you gotta refuel your ship every four launches” is a joke I am still gonna play some more this weekend but the devs really don’t know what their strengths are or how to make them fun. Ah, a cool dinosaur you can... look at for credits. Neat.
