I'm at about 740 vy'keen words learned, and the tech shop guys still have garbled words. Most everyone else has full translation with maybe one word off. Most the manufacturing plants are translated. So far I'm still learning new words, but I'm not sure what the limit is. Additionally the game doesn't track Atlas words, at least yet, so I'm not sure of that progress.

I didn't do it for a couple of days though, I hope to hell one of the last few patches didn't change it. I will not be happy. Hemish posted:How do you find uranium?

The only pure ones I've found are the so called "fingers" - I was going to link to an image but I can't find one. They're dark brown, globes joined by thinner bits (kinda half merged) standing upright in groups. Mostly uranium, some gold or other valuable.

Ah heck, I reached the end of the line on the Atlas path and, while completely unsurprising, I now have do the crafting chain from the stupid things each interface gave me for this next step. It was pretty funny knocking out like the last 6 stations in one go when your ship can travel from one to the other immediately since they’re always only a couple hundred light years away.

Metal Fingers, secondary from stuff on radiation worlds, and mixing phospherous and ferrite dust in a large refinery (it's inefficient, but with a few automated mining units it's easy to have a ton of phospherous). Ammonia is a similar element that is pretty tough to find so I just end up refining it (or buying it).

I also have the unrepairable frigate bug. Also I’ve gone to 4 different systems, and every time I go back to base, I’ve got a tag for some ancient ruins I’ve already visited, and it just won’t go away, no matter where in the system I go. And the navicomp has a tendency to lock onto it above all else when I pulse.

I warped like 20,000 LY last night trying to find a good planet for a base. This is getting ridiculous. I must be insanely unlucky. I haven't found an earth-like planet with mountains and NO SUPERHEATED STORMS since like, the first 10 hours.

The galaxy map, like most things, seems to have been programmed by someone who has never played a video game in their life.precision posted:I warped like 20,000 LY last night trying to find a good planet for a base. I guess I got lucky that my first system on my fresh save has a temperate planet with no crazy storms. No luck so far on my old save though. Hell I haven't even found a Vykreen system on that save yet, and I have been to like 7 or 8 stations. New fun bug: Storage units that won't let me grab things from them saying I am too full, when I clearly am not full. Only way to grab things is with the X exchange menu in the inventory. Also fun is things being sent to new slots in storage instead of to the already existing stack in storage.

I have noticed in my game that this leads to a dupe bug. If I empty the first slot in the storage unit manually when it says I am full, the first (non installed upgrade) item in my inventory is duplicated into the storage unit's newly vacated storage unit slot. I think the inventory full message is because the dupe bug fails to move an item into the full storage unit.

It did indeed result in duping. So I got a bunch of chromatic metal out of it, so that was something at least.

Is there one specific exotic ship design per star system or are there multiple? I'm wanting one specific kind (the one that looks like it has a javelin coming out of the front), but also hopefully not in yellow like the other exotics I've seen are

Waffle House posted:Sweet, a Class-A freighter! I had to reload after I swapped out my ship the first time, because I didn't know I had to manually transfer the inventory over first. I guess it makes sense as a system, given that the new ship might have less inventory space available than the old one, but I do wish there was some kind of alert or something so it wasn't so easy to forget.

Made the mistake of going to an affluent Vy'keen system in the search for a good exotic ship. None of the stupid Vy'keen offered me directions to a trading post. I couldn't find one flying around. Every single structure the beacon found was worthless non-trading posts. Half the time the beacon wouldn't even scan and ate several of my navigation data. The Vy'keen are the worst. I wish nothing but death upon all of their star systems

After spending a lot of time building my first main base, I ran into a major problem. You can't place storage containers on top of basic component floors. I started to panic, until I thought that I could figure out a way to cheat the system. I was surprised how quickly I figured a way out. I took a screenshot to show how I pulled it off, in case anyone else can use this idea. They have to float, otherwise they'd be clipping into the floor and cause invalid placement. I think once the building is finished it won't look bad. Or, I embrace it and place lights under them.  Here's what I've got so far. The ugly man-made hill is where I hid the cylindrical rooms housing my specialists. Hopefully I can complete all their quests before I hit 5000 terrain edits and they end up buried alive. The foundation supports changed materials mid-build; I've decided the concrete works better because they look more plain.

My discoveries don’t reset, but planets and things on them have to be scanned again. Good news: on a random planet I was finally able to summon 3 of my 6 ships. I got them all to an on planet trading post so I can at least get my crap off those other ships. One of them was a rescue and had a lot of broken parts, and I hope I can trade it in for something with fewer than 15 broken components.

So every time you board your freighter, the room in the back with a Cargo Container and two Atlas Pass v1 tubes get replenished. Good way to pick up lots of incidental species relics and free Warp Cells for very little effort since you visit your Freighter a lot to manage fleet expeditions. I've resigned myself to becoming a killing machine because you need so much Mordite to effectively learn Vy'Keen. And one of my high capacity slots is dedicated to Copper for the Korvax.

I find I get a consistent supply of relics from those green suitcases strewn about the landscapes. Also it took me until yesterday to figure out you can get rid of the 'rusted metal' by holding middle-mouse instead of having to find inventory space for it. Same with gunk on abandoned factory consoles. Question - do you ever get automated hoppers that feed carbon into the plant trays?

idk why I thought this would be a good buy when I was bored by watching it on Twitch, but Pissing on Rocks Simulator 2018 turned out to not be my jam.

I have recently got this and I have the bug where the game is telling me my base computer is on my freighter. I've built a base computer on the nearby planet but the icon is still pointing at the freighter. Is this plotline important and if so, is it wrecked? Deciding whether or not to start a new game. The fact that my freighter is poo poo is leading me to think I ought to.....help me NMS goons! I also had the unrepairable frigate bug. Managed to fix 2 of the 3 damaged stations but never saw the icon for the 3rd. I 'fixed' that problem by sending it out on a mission where it was destroyed.

I ended up building my home base on a radioactive planet but the decay is so slow it hardly matters when you spend most of your time indoors anyways. Like sure there are planets where their standard condition drains as much as a storm and the storms are even worse but the vaste majority just have a slow timer that might as well not exist with how plentiful sodium is. It feels pointless to find a completely neutral place.

It feels pointless to find a completely neutral place. Agreed, but a thing I find so bizarre about superheated storms is that they're not explicitly tied to the planet and it's resources like the other hazards are. With all the other hazards you've got situations where you can just dig up the elements to recharge the shield effortlessly. Like on an ice world where you'll regularly get Dioxide from some of the minerals, and usually enough to keep your shield topped off permanently. That isn't really the case with the strange, superheated storms. They don't really match the biome. Though sodium is always plentiful as an alternative I guess. But yeah, the amount of planets without any kind of storm are just vanishingly rare, so I guess it's better to just grit your teeth and weather the storms.

The game really doesn't track a lot in your saves, I wouldn't be surprised if all the resources around your base respawns every time you restart the game.

Unless you want earth-like for the looks. But yes, you can base in a lot of places. Among other things, once you get the ability to build storage containers and the teleporter, you really don’t have to interact with your base's planet at all outside of your little 100m circle.

biglads posted:I have recently got this and I have the bug where the game is telling me my base computer is on my freighter. I've built a base computer on the nearby planet but the icon is still pointing at the freighter. That questline isn't necessarily integral to the plot from what I've seen but it is something that gets you a bunch of blueprints. I ran into that bug myself (and it's a repeatable quest so I had to deal with it every so often) and as far as I can tell the *easy* fix is: go to anywhere else in the system you have the icon stuck in, just hyperdrive towards a planet or something summon your freighter (the z menu on pc) in the same system, either go to a base computer away from your freighter or if you don't have one in that system build a new one on a planet away from your freighter save and reload, easiest way to do this is jumping in and out of your ship but if it's a legit base you can put a save point quest should now be pointing at that base computer if that doesn't work try summoning your freighter to the planet you have your base on and save/reload again if that doesn't work god have mercy on your soul enjoy doing this every time the quest comes up lol. It gives you a base related blueprint and after you use it goes on a 1.5 hour time to give you another one, at which point it'll prolly become stuck on your freighter again and you'll have to repeat the above process. It happened to me like 4x in a row but with reloads I could fix it everytime. It just sorta ended up being one straw on the bugged camel's back that made me give up for the moment, game feels so close to being complete but just a smidge too much is at best improperly balanced and at worst flat out broken.

The fix for me was joining a random multiplayer game and then returning to my game. The waypoint was correctly placed on one of my base computers. I'm kind of sad that Factorio has spoiled base building for me in all of these sorts of games. I want to make a refiner that outputs condensed carbon to a conveyor belt leading to an oxygen collector that outputs to a pipe that feeds the refiner. But instead I have to do that by hand, like some kind of savage
