I ran into a pack of 20 or so animals on a nondistinct planet, and decided to finally clear up my many stacks of 'kill creature' quests. I'm doing my grim deeds when I turn the laser on a giant pineapple, who from easily 15 feet away telekinetically machine gun headbutts me 4 times in about 1.5 seconds and kills me. I mean, fair play I suppose, but it's a stark reminder that animals can even damage me, as they never have before.

If I want a giant pink freighter and a fleet of frigates that look like somebody barfed Skittles all over a system then I should be able to have that, dangit I would probably pay more than I am willing to admit if I could just fly around in the Winnebago from Spaceballs.

Here's a tip: hate punching blue crystals for dihydrogen? Install a medium or large refiner, dump dihydrogen jelly into it (bought for cheap from basically any store) and get stacks of dihydrogen in seconds. Never punch a blue crystal again. A regular refiner works too but you have to feed it a little carbon also. Since you really only need it in bulk for frigate fuel, may as well install a bigger one on your freighter.

Pro-er tip: immediately take the dihydrogen you just made and turn it back into jelly. For some reason the ratio for refining jelly into dihydrogen is 1:50 but the ratio for crafting dihydrogen into jelly is 40:1. If you have a medium/large refiner, the only obstacle to effectively infinite dihydrogen is time.

You can also build a modular wall and join a corridor of the large rooms to it and it’ll make a holo door out of the wall.

haveblue posted:If you build one of storage container X, it’ll have the same contents as every other storage container X at your other bases. I don’t think you can use the teleport inventory command without being in proximity to a storage container. drat, that's nifty, though I had lined up a question regarding the dumb numbers of the exactly-same containers somewhere in my pipe of NMS questions. Also, I'm now 25 hours into the game (50 hours on steam, on account of all the tabbing out to get wiki information and leaving the game paused in the background), and I still haven't found any goddamn Solanium. I've incidentally come across a pretty hostile planet that happened to have a ton of huge activated copper deposits that refine 1:1 into chromatic metal, so after a little bit of mining around, my 47-slot A-class hauler is now fully unlocked, and I crammed 3 S-class photon cannon upgrades, 2 S-class shield upgrades, an S- and an A-class shield upgrade, a cadmium and emeril hyperdrive upgrade, and the conflict scanner into it. Planning on installing the item teleporter thing once I pick up this one ingredient, and then this thing looks reasonably decked out. I've been engaged several times by 8-10-strong pirate gangs while idling around freighter fleets that initially spooked me out, but since I realized I can just reload my shields with sodium/sodium nitrate, those haven't been a problem at all. The cannon tears through the ships in one attack pass, and now I've learned that those things drop canisters I can pick up for goodies. Still, I've filled up my hyperdrive to the brim several times, and emptied it jumping around systems just to find a SINGLE planet with Solanium, and no dice so far. As much fun this game is, the way your priorities are constantly rearranged entirely by accident, is kinda tedious. I mean, it's still money well spent as far as steam deals go, but Jesus, the sidetracking. I'm also getting a bug where I'm scrolling through items to put into my portable refiner, and upon scrolling pages once or twice, random upgrades appear selected on my cursor in the same way they do once you hit 'E' on an upgrade and it then transforms the icon into what it's actually going to be. And these aren't upgrades I've ever acquired. I've gotten S-class boltcaster or movement/life support modules, and there were even cases of a jetpack upgrade that was just entitled "Big Ball", and I don't know what the gently caress. Nothing I can do with them, but, yeah...what the gently caress. parabolic posted:I ran into a pack of 20 or so animals on a nondistinct planet, and decided to finally clear up my many stacks of 'kill creature' quests.

Floor-breaking cause was a misplaced storage unit. I ended up dying to "cosmic radiation" while standing on the exterior tanks of my freighter. Woke up on a planet.

The_Doctor posted:Construction has started. Picked up the game again last night after being away, got my freebie freighter (it's a beast) and scrapped all the inside building area for millions of tons of silver. Then a frigate on a mission came home because it was too badly damaged to continue it's expedition, but the marker for it was inside my freighter...which I couldn't land on because the docking bays were red. Wtf? Also transferred a massive bunch of antimatter from the freighter to my suit but when I went to use them they had disappeared. Did I just gently caress up or is this another bug?

Remember that when you are using Photo mode to take pictures that you can change where the sun is located to light your dark pictures up more. Even if it is night time you can change it and it will give you some much needed lighting.

Are the Artemis and Atlas storylines mutually exclusive? If I complete one, can the other also be completed or would I basically have to restart to get whatever you get from each of them?

Isn't Atlas not a storyline but rather an alternative path for people who don't want to follow a story and do whatever (but still progress and get to the same conclusion?)

I guess in fairness "visit series of giant orbs, say creepily submissive things, get recipe" doesn't really makes much of a storyline.

As far as I can tell, the three main storylines are: 1. Atlas: You go from anomaly to anomaly collecting crafting components for the heart of the sun, learning a little (but not much) about the Atlas itself. The reward is being able to see where black holes are and a universe of your choosing with various seed options (more lush planets, etc). You can reject this and go to a new universe the old way by reaching the core. Choosing a new universe resets the rest of your progress and you move on, I think. 2. Artemis/Apollo: This is where the bulk of the lore is. The reward is all the portal glyphs and an explanation of the universe, atlas, and the nature of the simulation. Once you complete it the quest says you are free to explore and do whatever 3. Nala/Polo: Tied to your milestones. I haven’t finished it so I don’t know what the final reward is but you get plenty of modules to sell and some crafting upgrades. Semi-related to the lore/story of the game I think it’s loving hilarious that the Apollo storyline is literally a meta commentary / joke about the launch fiasco. At some point the quest has you meet with Apollo and when you transmit your coordinates you discover you are standing in the exact same location but can’t see each other much like the two players around launch time that figured out they were near each out so they streamed flying to the same place and meeting only to realize there wasn’t MP in the game Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Aug 15, 2018 |

I've seen exactly ONE S-class Scanner upgrade in the entire time I've been playing for some reason, despite a billion S gun upgrades. This includes spending mulitiple hours just jumping into random games and raiding the stations. At least I got suit storage upgrades and nav data.

You can "restock" a S-class module buy going to another system, buying any module from the same type of vendor, then going back to the vendor that had that S-class.

My main base has only ever had the underground part fill in twice, and both times the dirt phased out of existence on it's own when I approached. The other bases force me to remove and replace rooms to fix if I don't have line of sight from the door.

I didn't realize S rank capital freighters got quite THAT expensive.  I guess I'll start turning the 20 superconductors in my inventory into stasis units, which would just barely get me there. That's a lot of cactus flesh though.Or I could wait until I warp into a space fight and fish for a free one by reloading over and over forever?

Yeah, this has been my experience too. If I accept the freighter I get the text saying the captain is glad to be rid of it, but then the transfer screen wants money and I have to back out. Right now I'm pretty far into the Null storyline and it seems to be badly broken- every time I step into the portal I end up on a black screen with only nav icons visible and the game is unresponsive. Oh well, I can keep doing base quests I guess.

I looked it up in the wiki and there are apparently two different kinds of freighter fights: if you just get a message about a freighter under attack and fly over, you get a discount for saving them but it's not free. If you warp into a new system and immediately find yourself in the middle of a fight, that's when you can take it for free.
