panda clue posted:I joined a game with literal children yelling human being at me in the microphone and asking what I was doing in their game. I flew down to their base and shot one of them dead on the ground (in my ship), and killed the other one in a midair gunfight. Never seen a ship like this, have more screens? It's mighty pretty.

On one of the occasions when several of my ships deigned to appear on my freighter, scanning both my functional and broken ships seemed to show roughly the same value for all of them, in the 900k range. So if it does make a difference, it's probably very minimal, certainly not worth the time and mats to fix the broken slots.

So it's probably best to sell/trade these junker ships I find rather than spending the absurd amount of materials it takes to fix it up? I found a nice S-Class ship with a bunch of space but to fix everything would take so much time. How do I sell them? Can I sell them without a freighter? I'm also waiting for my free one of those to show up..

Powershift posted:I've got my plasma cannon to where it destroys 2 armored sentinels in 1 shot, but it still only takes half of a regular sentinel's life, and can't kill it fast enough to stop it from calling reinforcements. I think sentinels are bugged at the moment, but it's not as bad as it most of the other bugs so I think it would probably be low priority. I remember with the atlas update they were much more forgiving for how much time you had to stop them before they got reinforcements. I've yet to stop them before they can call them, which is insane to me. Plus the moments where you get stuck in always alert and then they attack you in space forever. If you can't escape them in space from either running or shooting them by design, that's just crazy, so I assume it's a bug. Burns posted:Another bug. The little puzzles at transmission towers are always the same This is definitely a bug right now. Once again, when playing the atlas update, you would get those number puzzles (eg. 1-2-6-24-120-...), but it would be different variations of it. Right now, that example is the ONLY one I've gotten. It's funny to me that it just means now whenever I land and do the puzzle the second I see 1-2 I just hit 720 and move on. This feels just like when the game first came out to me. Hello Games should never set dates for releases, cause it just makes it so they aren't ready when that date hits. This game needs a lot more testing.

Probably could do the same at a trade outpost on the planet, which saves fixes the pulse drive.

Managed to figure out why my game had lost its mind and wouldn't let me use the hyperdrive. Because I had already installed the red upgrade. Yup. My hyperdrive was too good for my story progress.

Dollas posted:Anyone else get stuck on an endless loop during the purge. Every time i jump i get immediately hailed, warped to, told to come aboard, and then nothing happens when i talk to them. Am I missing something? Yep, stuck there as well, seems like it's bugged for everyone. It's a bit of a shame, too, since I wanted to hold off with building a serious base until after I'd done that mission.

Fun bugs. I loaded my old save to see what was up. Landed on a freighter to see if I could buy it, accepted a mission instead, got teleported outside and died, lost hundreds of nanites worth of uninstalled tech, reloaded the save, but I can't access any menus, only interact/move. Can't exit, can't reload, can't look at inventory or discoveries. Glad I am doing this on my old save and not my current one. Also, did you know if you plop down a message sphere to try it out you can never EVER remove it or change the message? If you can I sure as hell don't see how. It told me it cant be removed and I can't delete the message. So now I have a stupid message spam me in the middle of my screen every time I move around my base. That is amazing design.

I think I'll try playing on creative mode. As someone else aready said, the exploration side is crippled by the terrible awkward survival crap getting in the way all the time. Or the pointless sentinels. I landed on a planet to find out what it was like - extreme sentinel response - finr, just get back in and fly a.... And I was already tagged. They wouldn't go away by sitting in the ship so I took off. After beating off 2 waves of ships in space I went back to the planet. Another wave spawned and followed me down. After killing them I landed and went into a building. More reinforcements, they couldn't see me but it just would not go away. A quick planet check turned into a 2 hour pointless fight with hordes of sentinels. Cool, I have plenty of walker brains now but just turn the alarm off and let me go! In the end I just let them kill me, got in my ship and left. I was half expecting them to open fire while I looted my corpse. I just want to potter around without all the aggro and millions of different but similar items. Ferric dust, pure ferrite, magnetized ferrite. Fucks sake Hello, if you make all this garbage, let me carry a bit of everything?

So, is the mining tool overheat mechanic utterly bugged for anyone else? The overheat bar resets to 0 every time I start mining, unless it's currently overheating. (As in, it'll snap from wherever it is, back to 0 each time I start mining. ) So I can mine faster by just mining 0-90%, 0-90%, 0-90%. Making all these mining reload speed upgrades I've gotten completely useless. I wasn't sure about the space klingons, until a security guard took a look at my lovely starter multitool, and gave me a 23 slot one for free, because he pitied me. (Of course, most of the slots were destroyed, and needed 100-200k worth of resources to unlock each slot, but atleast there's growth potential.)

Mining is slow enough, you could just disable the entire heat mechanic and be better off.

Has anyone reclaimed an old save base? I landed on a planet and plopped down the computer but nothing. I still have the quest, but the quest doesn't say anything beyond find a hospitable place. I kind of would like my base back for free since it already had storage (and I can still see the storage inventory and send things to it. )

I think I just lost my freighter. I got one after the patch for free after killing some pirates, and just now stumbled upon another freighter under attack and got it for free too, but now that freighter is my default one and I can't find a way to go back to the old one (where all my stuff is.) Am I hosed?

I want to just go treasure hunting forever now. What's the best way to do that? How do I most easily find more down freighters and ruins

How do I most easily find more down freighters and ruins Transmission towers will point you to crashed freighters and also crashed starships, and feeding navigation data into a signal booster and setting it for "artifacts" can point you to ancient ruins. You should always carry a signal booster around with you, since even the basic scan can reveal cool stuff in your immediate vicinity.

I definitely still hate ship combat, that's for sure. Perhaps with upgrades it is more fun, but with default ships, it's basically just me being endless kited by ships that eternally circle you and pelt you until you die.

drat Dirty Ape posted:Sentinels are mildly annoying when they are guarding a locked door, but otherwise I have yet to have a real problem with them except a few times when I dig an escape tunnel and yet for some reason their countdown timer disappears. Those facilities are also part of missions, and from the moment you get detected you have one minute and a half to kick down the door and do the cyoa minigame. I had luck entering the facility by digging a cave and using it to shoot the goddamn door. I remember it was way easier to enter protected facilities in vanilla. I managed to die from an At-St while running a hill and half away from the ship then a hill and half back to the ship after not loosing enemies in a cave that I have dug (stupid game). Next time the plan is to dig a hole towards the ship as well quote:Also, some people don't seem to realize that you can refine your fuel to make it more efficient and save inventory space. Turn ferrite dust into pure ferrite, and then pure ferrite into magnetized ferrite and use that to fuel your terrain manipulator. Something like 20 magnetized ferrite gives 100% power (and only costs 40 ferrite dust + carbon fuel if using the portable refinery). As an added bonus I'm pretty sure you can 'downgrade' your magnetized ferrite to pure ferrite (for the cost of more carbon fuel) if you need it for repairs or whatever. You can downgrade uranium to ferrite as well and you can also convert Iron scrap to ferrite dust. limaCAT fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Jul 28, 2018 |
