EC posted:Not only does your ship not spawn on your landing pad when you warp to your base, other ships will land on it and prevent you from using it. WTF NMS The ships that land on your pads usually sell really good/rare stuff though so I see it as a bonus and just build 2-3 pads on each base.

I wish I could build a landing pad; my science guy only gives me nanites and the overseer gives me photography missions. I never got the landing pad blueprint.

I'm pretty much at the end of the base Hillsong stuff. Everyone but the farm guy is just giving v me repeating quests now, and the farm guy is taking forever because crops take real time to grow. At this point I need to farm the salvage modules for construction blueprints, even though I've already bought a hunch of them. I need all my options if I'm gonna make a super villain base. Are there any good rewards at the end of the three main quests? I'll probably do them eventually, but if I'm gonna get some good poo poo from them I'll make them a priority.

What's the most effective way to grind exosuit slots? In the past they just cost units, which was no big deal. The first one I came across on this save needed me to repair the drat thing, which required chromatic metal, and I didn't have any copper, and after 20 minutes I gave up looking for it. So, what's the best way to find them, and what common mats should I bring with me to repair them?

Space stations. If you want to cheese the game, then join random games and run to the vendor, get your upgrade, save and quit, join another, etc. Understand that this will fill your teleporter list with these stations, BUT, you can visit them again in your single player game for another suit upgrade it seems! So two per game joined basically! You just need the money, and it starts getting expensive.

Got this for NEXT and I'm loving every minute of it, bugs and all. I know exosuit inventory slots can be bought in space stations and the price of them increases every time I get one, but if I find a few from Drop Pod coordinates will that increase the price too? Should I sit on these until I realistically can't buy the upgrades anymore and then use them? And a fun heads up: don't exit the game in the anomaly. The next day I booted up to my dude free-floating and quickly dying in space. Polo done me dirty. Bobby Cox fucked around with this message at 15:48 on Aug 8, 2018 |

The cost of buying an inventory slot is determined by how many you already have, so getting a slot from a drop pod means the next one you buy at a station will cost more. Basically, only use drop pods for cargo slots because they're way more expensive than the others (unless you have like 40 regular slots and no cargo slots). Some people don't bother with drop pods at all but I always carry the bits to repair them anyway so it's a quick upgrade when I find one.

EC posted:WAIT WHAT Yeap. The suit mod vendor has it behind them. Also, if you don't see the blue hologram thing behind them, always double check by interacting with it anyway, I had one that was there but invisible. If you are a millionaire, it is probably easier/faster than drop pods.

Fun tip for this: find a drop pod, anywhere. Drop your signal booster next to the drop pod, and don't use any nav data, just search for nearby structures. I have a 100% success rate of it picking up a second drop pod, which stretches out your actual drop pad data items nicely, or doubles the bonus of just coming across a drop pod when exploring.

Apparently the signal booster will always return with coords for the nearest structure of the same type if you use that option. It's handy if you are grinding drop pods or manufacturing facilities, you just have to fly somewhere else every other time because if you try it again at the second site, it gives you the coords for the closest structure of that type- the first site.

I could look past all the quality of life issues if they would just fix the crazy bugs. Like this base computer bug is super common it seems, as are a bunch of freighter/fleet issues. And some other quest bugs. Just fixing those would make the game unbelievably better. That is without fixing base building bugs even! Also, did they seriously make the exocraft control like an actual RC car and not like almost every video game car in the last 20+ years?  My left stick is throttle/reverse and right stick is turning. WTF? I swear to god this game is a prank sometimes.

One thing I've noticed since I've bought the PS4 version of this, and have mostly been playing the PC version prior... Apparently on the PS4 version they do not label what the Resource deposits are before you travel to them. On the PC, they say something like "Copper Deposit", but on the PS4 it simply says "Resource Deposit". Any idea what's going on with this?

If I'm foot and I center over their icon when using the scanner they say what they are. Not sure if this is only if they're in range or something. I can play around a bit more later to check, but I haven't had any issues identifying and tagging specific resources.

Yeah but his point is that that only happens when you're a couple of yards away, so it's useless for searching for a specific resource because you're doing a ton of unnecessary legwork to check every deposit in the area. If that's true about the PC version it's kind of weird because I can't imagine there's any technical reason for it.

The bug that caused the current save and all autosaves to be corrupted and unplayable because frigate fleet missions caused an overflow in your save data got fixed last week and they've made a few bug fix patches since and will presumably be making more. I'll criticize Hello Games for a lot but at this point I'll never say they aren't willing to patch and keep patching their baby until the end of time. Now, that said, I think it's a fair criticism to say that the extent and breadth of some of the iffy stuff in this game, from save corruption straight down to npcs having placeholder dialogue when they give you missions, really suggests that Next needed a few more months in the oven before actual release. Some of the stuff that's lacking is a bit silly, frankly, and it's only that the core exploration gameplay loop is good enough that people give NMS the same pass they'd give an elder scrolls game.

Maybe a scanner upgrade thing? I don't recall ever noticing a generic "resource deposit" marker, but I may just have been totally oblivious to it!

Do any of the simple floor tile pieces snap to the corridors or prefab rooms or landing pads? I can connect landing pads to prefab rooms via I / T / X corridors but I can't seem to nicely put together an open-to-the-sky walkway between things. Am I missing some trick for snapping these things together? I've run out of blueprints to unlock with the blueprint analyzer, so I think I have all the possible bits handy...

The latest patch didn't really seem to have anything major in it, which was a bit worrying. I hope we get a major fix this week for some of the bigger stuff.

I haven't made it that far in basebuilding. I messed around in creative mode and tried the three exocraft and yeah those control are wonky. For some reason it reminds me of some 90s games but I can't put my finger on which ones.

The base location icon is sitting in space where the freighter was in the abandoned system. I tried what you wrote but it keeps telling me my base is in another system - the abandoned one. I tried making a new base, same thing.

It is the control scheme of almost every remote control car toy that didn't use a mini wheel and trigger. Wouldn't be shocked if random games attempted to copy that scheme, but it is kind of ridiculous that a game would do that in more recent years especially a game like this where nothing else controls that way anyway and RC cars aren't remotely as popular as they used to be.

The base location icon is sitting in space where the freighter was in the abandoned system. There are instructions somewhere on what to do with the freighter. Involves sending it away or something, I dunno. I don't have a freighter so I am probably screwed until I get one and hopefully the bug switches to that and I can try to proper fix.

Meiteron posted:If you're looking to make money to afford these things, and since you mention you have the terrain manipulator, it's time to get into archaeology. Cheers for this, helped me out quite a bit with the first 600 grand from two sites. Then I stumbled across a way to make a shitton of cash more by accident than intent. I had previously come across these small infested outposts surrounded by whispering eggs, and got turbomauled when I tried to mine one of them, so I ran into the safety of the outpost and waited for the swarm to subside. However, before trying to mine the eggs, I accidentally had the terrain manipulator selected, so I dug out some terrain beneath the nests that the larval core spawning from the egg rolled into. After the swarm subsided, I put two and two together and figured I could try to carve out a funnel underneath the nest and then dig a little cubbyhole next to it. I then dropped in, mined the eggs from below, grabbed the larval cores that dropped into the funnel, and picked off the aliens that came near the entrance of the funnel. They somehow either couldn't enter the funnel, and when one glitched into it, i just picked it off again. Since the larval cores are 95,000 apiece, and there were something like 25 eggs around the outpost, it ended up being a quick 2.4 million. Came sorta close to dying, but pulled off with one health point left. This is how a nest looked after being mined out.  Traveled back to the starting system and bought my 23-slot A-class multitool   Now I'm looking up adjacency bonuses for upgrades for this thing, since I already have an S-class scanner upgrade and figured I have to plop it right below the scanner, and set the upgrades up in a line Duzzy Funlop fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Aug 8, 2018 |
