Does Fortuna make Plains effectively skippable now?

No, but having a k-drive will help until you have an archwing launcher built, and the Fortuna mining laser is straight up better than anything you get from the plains and will help quite a bit.

No, Plains still offer some things you will want. But strangely, Fortuna makes some Plains grind skippable. You need to finish the intro quest for Fortuna and you'd get your hoverboard that you can use in plains, until you can get your skywing which is way grindier. Also, do some Fortuna bounties until you have 2500 pts to spend on the mining laser, then you can skip all the Plains cutting lasers.

I read on the wiki it doesn't give the highest tier of plains gems, so the Advanced Nosam is still important to have.

Can confirm this is false, I found Nyths and Sentiriums with the Fortuna cutter.

Shalhavet (in game) gave me the 2 mods I needed and I built the Boltor FileNotFound posted a few pages ago. It is pretty awesome. I need a bit more endo to put the last point or 2 into it to get to the final build, but it is tearing through guys like nothing. I do at least kind of have to aim, but I can mostly run around like crazy without worrying much about headshots and it's still super effective.

I paid some plat and bought a Nekros Prime since he's vaulted, and did a bit of relic cracking and got all the Chroma Prime parts except the systems, including two of the helmets.

Quick question re: abilities. Is there a mod to get energy back so I'm less reliant on drops? I was playing a bunch of Frost, and hit a while where I didn't get any energy drops after being energy drained, and couldn't use any of my skills for minutes in a row.

There's the energy siphon aura too. It's not corrosive projection, but by the time you really need to worry about bringing corpro you'll have (spoiler) energy regen, which is way better.

How much of the game is actually exclusively locked behind the clan research stuff? Does sharing that stuff just speed things up or is the only other way to get all that stuff to whale it up in that platshop?

I'm very much enjoying the pace and goals of the early game, so i'm shying away from dropping into groups of long term players who'd just skip/fast forward me a ton with gifts of stuff they have 50000 units of just collecting dust.

Besides plastids. Plastids can go gently caress themselves

Goons will only help you if you want to be helped. Sadly things like plastids can't be traded so mostly it's just skipping awful mod drops, or helping you with prime parts for syndicates, or taxis to places (like places with plastids!), or index to avoid the hosed up credit earning balance in the game.

Every clan gun/warframe is only available from a clan or for plat, you'll want to join up in a clan that has most stuff researched already and also pick up dragonkey blueprints and fun-haver items like itzal/staticor/nezha, half of the items require some invasion materials and a hefty credit sink but once you get to the index you can just slowly craft up fieldron/detonite/mutagen each day until you can have something new to make.

Just finished the missions that award a hoverboard. How do you summon the thing? I play m&k and my son plays on a 360 controller and we can't seem to figure it out. Googling just brings up controls for when you're already on the thing.

You need to go to your arsenal and equip the launcher in your gear wheel. Then when you're in a mission you summon it by pressing q on m+kb (idk controller keybinds). You can also bind the gear wheel slot to a key if you want!

Get the mining laser from Fortuna. Mining definitely seems the way to go on Venus and it feels viable on PoE too. Fishing was the go to previously, but that involves dicking about grinding for stuff to help grind for other stuff.

Wandering around digging up rocks is easier. Plus, you'll probably wander past heaps of stuff you need to collect for Zaw building anyway. If it's moving, shoot it; if it's standing still, smash it.

drat, really glad I picked the Zenith. Only got 4 mods on it--Stormbringer, Malignant Force, Spit Chamber, and an unmaxed Serration--and I just handled a level 50 Phorrid with only a little difficulty.

Also during the fight that I realized that I could increase my Mag and Harrow game by bypassing one of the big weaknesses of shields by, well, just slipping into spoiler mode whenever I got hit with poison.

Right, i've been using that and a few others, but i'm still working my way through the star chart so the most optimal locations sometimes aren't accessible yet. Which is okay, i'm sure a few planets down the line i'll be swimming in plastids and cursing some other resource. :) Considering i have 3 frames, multiple weapons, 2 potatoes and a few helmets cooking after my first week i'm not surprised i'm running short on a few things.

I'm mostly running into a few roadblocks of soloing bosses with annoying invincibility patterns or weak points (looking at you Vay Hek) because i keep running out of energy and ammo and then it becomes a silly drawn out swordfight where either of us is too stupid and clumsy to do significant damage to the other.

Valkyr doesn't need ability range and there's never a justification for locking yourself into Steel Charge unless you exclusively play solo.

What are you trying to accomplish with the build? There's a couple flaws with it but how to improve it all depend on what you actually wanna do. Basic suggestions I'd have would be dropping Stretch for something else if it's a solo build, or dropping Steel Charge for a Dash polarity aura (depending on what you need) and swapping Umbral Intensify for Transient Fortitude. If you're trying to take it to super long endless poo poo, working Adaptation in would be a strong move as well, probably dropping Narrow Minded (Eternal War is essentially a duration mod already).
