What is the point of the Fleet Management Console? You can't actually manage anything in it. I was trying to dismiss or at least repair the frigate remotely but that's impossible too apparently. It's just a ghost ship now.

Yeah I assume they'll patch in the ability to dismiss Frigates at some point, as well as hopefully being able to customize them. They've talked about how community events will have cosmetic rewards, and I assume that's what you'll use Quicksilver for?

For now I've sent the damaged frigate off on a suicide mission. It'll either come back and hopefully be visible or blow up and problem solved.

I like how the reason you don't find any cities or towns anywhere is "the sentinels annihilated all civilization". It's less discovering and more rediscovering because they erased everything. gently caress you sentinels

I found a "Crimson" world that was desolate but had bubbles everywhere. Couldn't harvest or do anything to them, but I guess it looked neat? There were also these giant circular structures with a massive rotating wheel inside. It gave me some story but nothing more. Sadly there wasn't anything else to do on the planet.

Can you build a base on a freighter, and do all the farming/exocraft etc missions from there? Like if i just want to wait until i get a freighter instead of building on a planet.

Welp, buying a microprocessor definitely doesn't work for my stupid base Gek. Is the blueprint supposed to be the first thing the scientist gives me? If so I guess I am hosed because he never did. Also I built that base next to a facility, which seems to have respawned its door. Also the natural quad sentinels there are capable of walking through the walls of my base. Also when sentinels get themselves stuck in terrain they become invincible and regen all their health. Every time I have tried to kill a walker it got stuck and regenned. Good poo poo man.

How does moving bases work? If I destroy all this stuff I have (rooms, specialist terminals, hallways, etc) do I get the mats back so I can rebuild or....? I thought I dug my base by the water but I want to do something cooler.

Is there any benefit for learning the languages. No, it takes an insane amount of time (or, presumably, luck). I'm pretty sure there are a ton of words that aren't ever actually used in the game and the game does not prioritize giving you words that are common (this should probably be fixed, honestly). The "average player" will probably never come anywhere close to ever being able to decipher even a single box of text and that's not fun design. edit: apparently each race has around 300 words edit2: wait, no, there are 2,368 words to learn in the game, so more like 700 per, and according to the wiki page they're learned in a fixed order, which is even more baffling because the order you learn words in is not very good, considering I've learned hundreds of words and have never even seen a single translated sentence on my screen, or anywhere CLOSE to it. precision fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Aug 4, 2018 |

DaveKap posted:Gentle reminder that none of this story was in the 1.0 version of the game, which had the primary story of "vague nonsense that pretends at intellectualism." The guy who wrote the Artemis/Apollo storyline (which was when the Atlas path storyline was re-written) was, as far as I can tell, contracted. So you're not even really seeing the dev's story, you're seeing some dude who came in after the 1.0 poo poo storm and said "how about this?" Which makes it all the funnier that a bunch of the writing in the Artemis/Apollo plot is extremely sardonic as it tells the tale of 2 travellers trying to meet up (2 NMS players) only to discover that they cannot (1.0 had no multiplayer at all.) Luckily I'm well accustomed to this kind of bullshit, thanks to playing way too many old games from a time where two drunken college students making and porting a complex space game was pretty much the norm. A lot of those very old games had stories or story elements which only make sense if you're drunk yourself, so over time I learned the art of vindictive mental story replacement, to prevent myself from becoming a well-preserved corpse.

So there's the Artemis path: "do all this tutorial stuff, then head for the center," the Atlas Path: "visit the big ominous diamonds, say yes to the stuff you can't understand, until you have all the dragonballs" and Nada/Polo: "complete milestones, as if you need a reason to do that". Are there any other story elements to discover and do these conflict at all such that I'd have to pick? Also, were Nada and Polo intentionally named after the Ice Climbers Nana and Popo?

precision posted:edit2: wait, no, there are 2,368 words to learn in the game, so more like 700 per, and according to the wiki page they're learned in a fixed order, which is even more baffling because the order you learn words in is not very good, considering I've learned hundreds of words and have never even seen a single translated sentence on my screen, or anywhere CLOSE to it. Oh good, thank you random Vy'keen for teaching me the plural of a word, however despite this I won't be able to understand the singular version. It's also so strange that the cost of learning a word varies so much, too. With Gek it's just 10 units, with Korvax it's 10 copper, a material you'll have to mine, or rarely be able to buy. And then it's meat with the Vykies, which you'll usually only get off of killed animals. And then you also have alien monuments where you can learn the location of either a nearby ancient place, ( which'll net you anywhere from 100k - 2,500k units it seems like.) or a whooping 1 word. buglord posted:Is there any benefit for learning the languages. A lot of the manifacturing bases and the like have a problem that you can solve. Which is only a puzzle because of the language barrier. ( SYSTEM ERROR: NEEDS COMMON MATERIAL. Player: oh god what, I'll just shove in some of these rare metals, since they're the most expensive out of the 3 options. ) The moment you know enough words those 'puzzles' just become a text box asking you to press a specific reaction. Same with a lot of monuments where you have to choose what to do. Which is also not fun at all. Congrats, by tediously grinding your dictionary skill you've gotten the puzzles to solve themselves! (Also sometimes you'll be told 3 more words in one language or another, because you encountered a translation for dummies terminal.) Learning languages slowly over time is an interesting mechanic, but unfortunately it's just not fun or useful at all I feel. The various puzzles and small interactions in the game go from clicking a random response / trial and error, to just being told the solution. And it often just hinges on learning 1 specific word, as well. Which you might not get until word #500. e: Bruceski posted:Are there any other story elements to discover and do these conflict at all such that I'd have to pick? 0 conflict between them, grind away.

I bet the Korvax that taught me 'awakes' but not awake felt real smug after walking off with my 10 copper ore.  I guess maybe my traveller is just an utter idiot, which I guess checks out all things considered. Player: Hm, this word looks almost the same as awakes, but is a bit shorter, it's just got 1 letter less, I wonder what on earth this could mean??? DogonCrook posted:I dont remember it but theres a way to solve the puzzles without knowing the words. I kinda doubt its changed but it might have. There were guides for the older versions that tell you how to decipher the number puzzles. The number puzzles don't use language at all, so they're just simple logic puzzles. But with the language ones you have to press the button, and either you have too little info and have to try one at random. Or you have enough info and the 'puzzle' basically states it's own solution. The Monoliths are a bit more like puzzles, since once you have one or two words you can start guessing things based on context, but they repeat often enough that you can just trial and error them all if you can remember what you did the previous times.

Libluini posted:Maybe languages in the NMS-universe are logogrammatic or some poo poo, then "Awake" and "awakes" could be represented by completely different words. Very possible I suppose, with the Korvax I could wholly accept it. (All words just fit in an array to conserve bandwidth while communicating, each one with a unique hexadecimal code to represent it instead of letters.) But it just stretches and makes the system feel ever so much more tedious. I'm pretty sure they've just got a program to scan through the game's script, and add each unique word used to a list of words you can learn. Even though some of them might never be used by some of the species ingame.

Oh, with those I've never really looked at the text, since they're solvable immediately, especially when the game gives you alternatives to choose from. There are just 2 of them, too, I think? One where the number goes n*1, n*2, n*3, n*4, n*5, n*6, or something, and the answer is '720' (6*120 =720) And a different one where they just had a 4-number code, where each number shifted one step to the left. I kind of liked those, being the only non-language-reliant things you're interacting with, early game.
