Literally the first alien I ever talked to tsked over my shameful hardware and handed me a 24-slot A-class rifle multitool.

Quinton posted:Do any of the simple floor tile pieces snap to the corridors or prefab rooms or landing pads? If you build a wall at the end of an open walkway, you can then snap a landing pad to that wall and it creates a door. Unfortunately, if you then remove the wall, it creates a gap between the walkway and the landing pad, so you’re either stuck with a weird wall by itself, or going with enclosed walkways to make it look less weird.

Oh hey apparently the landing on your frigates gives you refined minerals, which I sure didn't know.

Is there anything frigate missions bring back that you can't find otherwise, or is it best to just forgo sending them (and save yourself the hassle of farming di-hydrogen for fuel) and keep them in system for free minerals and backup when pirates hassle you?

The NMS reddit has a post up, which is where I learned about the mineral thing. It says that making frigate fuel is a cash cow. https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/95mcvs/hitchhikers_guide_to_frigate_ownership_your_fleet/ Also I sent my frigate on a Balanced mission for like it's 3rd mission ever and it came back with 3 stacks of trade goods and 1.2m units so that was cool

Thanks that's all super useful information. I've been neglecting my fleet in favor of exploration and base building, but maybe I'll need to dive deeper into that too. As soon as I finish building my chlorine grow-op. Did you know that medium refiners auto snap to the center of large rooms? I found this out after I built several with the plan of putting four refiners in each. Probably for the best that the refiners are out on the lawn now, that much chlorine in an enclosed space might have been dangerous.

I had the base computer bug, and going to another system with my freighter, then returning and going to the base computer (without calling the freighter back to the original system) fixed it. However, the two ships I claimed in the original system didn't pop into my freighter when I moved it to the other system. Are they gone forever?

Jaxyon posted:The NMS reddit has a post up, which is where I learned about the mineral thing. It says that making frigate fuel is a cash cow. What I don't get about the Frigate expeditions is why they only reset every 24 hours. There are so many better ways to make easy money in the game right now, it seems foolish to gate it behind a timer, especially when there are timers built into the system itself. It takes 4 hours to complete the longest missions I have right now, and they happen when I'm offline, so why not reset the list when all 5 missions are complete? There are so many little things that just don't add up in the design. Another one that gets me is there is no way to easily get salt/ferrite. The best method for salt is to put an autonomous miner on a vein, but that only seems to work for 1 stack of 250, then because of yet another bug, it usually changes to whatever metal is on the planet (Copper, Indium, etc.). So you have to rebuild a new miner every single time. Ferrite just doesn't seem to make sense to me, cause as of right now I can make infinite chromatic metal/condensed carbon/ionized cobalt/chlorine/sodium nitrate in refiner loops. If I can make Indium, etc. I should be able to make the most basic material in the game. EDIT: Fixed a number of incorrect refiner recipes Expanded the available refiner recipes Well maybe that at least just got fixed, wish I knew what recipes were added.

I claimed a Class B hauler and it was there when I logged out and back in, despite me not fixing anything at all on it, even engines. That' was 3m in trade-in value, which I wasted on a Class C dope-looking explorer craft.

There was a bug preventing reloading sometimes? Man, and I thought I was just too dumb to reload my multi-tool. No wonder I got almost killed when I went on a factory search tour yesterday to get some blueprints. Something about my new 22-slot tool triggered this bug multiple times Also nothing about the name-reversion bug? Welp, I guess I keep on not naming things until that bug is fixed.

Chalks posted:So what's the best way to make money? I tried the glowing egg thing but it's so tedious I only did it a few times before swearing off it. I like doing Freighter missions for a Planetary Harvester (preferred) or Depot. Park your freighter over the target, blow the door, run in, run out, fly back to safety before the authority ships can spawn. The harvester's preferred because even if the mission points you to the same place as before you can finish it (and sometimes the door doesn't respawn letting you walk right in). Depots are a bit harder to dodge incoming fire, and can be buggy. Rewards are generally half a mil in credits, but if they're offering items instead you can easily score 2-10 mil.

I'm still making a poo poo load of money after tossing 3 S-class scanners on my multitool and putzing around new planets and scanning all I can. Before that, to afford the newer multitool, I mined chlorine on a planet where it was native / refined salt into it. It's pretty easy if you can find a planet with it.

Yeah I found a toxic world where some of the large rocks naturally have chlorine as their main component. Though once you have 250 chlorine, 250 oxygen, and s medium or large refiner, you basically have an infinite supply as long as you can keep enough on hand to start further reactions. Just make sure you don't let the merchants guild know you are selling your oxygen-thinned chlorine at full price.

Was watching a stream and the guy could determine the type of resource deposit from a distance (like at least 300 units). And they weren't in line of sight either, behind hills and such. He's much further into the game than I am though (S class everything). Is there a visor upgrade that does this or am I visoring "Resource Deposits" wrong? Is it stacking Sensor upgrades to increase range? Because I was hunting for Cobalt as a lowbie to repair Drop Pods and it's all Salt or Copper and there's no way to check other than hoofing it. But I saw him just look through his visor and it named them for him clearly as the type of deposit.

I got S class scanners so quickly that I don't know the answer. With two mods I was always able to see what a resource was, even if it was through a mountain.

Is there a consensus on how to adjust your flight controls on PC to not make it feel janky as gently caress? I haven't spent more than 5 minutes flying so I could just need to adjust, but something feels very off about it relative to every flight game I've ever played.

So apparently if you pulse engine toward a planetary marker, you'll drop out of pulse automatically upon reaching the marker and dive into the planet. Not a problem since you can't take damage, right? Well, that's true. But if there happens to be a cave opening right there, your ship can slam straight in getting stuck. Apparently ships don't have reverse thrusters in atmosphere either. Super. Fortunately, my last save wasn't that far back.

Goes for things that aren't deposits too.

Speaking of, if I have my scanner up and look at something in the distance, there's a message that says "Press E to tag", which I assumed would mark it somehow on the HUD compass; pressing it seems to do nothing however. Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? You have to hold it, and then it will show it on the HUD but I believe it only can mark one thing at a time so your previous would be unmarked.
