Geckos are so. Much. Fun. There's tonnes of room for activities.

There's a Mackerel with some clamps on the thruster cap that wouldn't come off even after pressing switches. Had to cut them. This may have been me messing something up though.

explosivo posted:I'd like a saw upgrade that let you easily draw a square and hit a button to have it cut that square out. Maybe like scroll the mouse wheel to increase the size of the square or something, then push the trigger to punch the shape out. That'd really help with some of the finicky panels that you have to cut out to get to the creamy nougaty support beams inside. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OzliqFzK36E&t=44s It even fits as an Evil Executive Extraction Device. Skippy McPants posted:It there any penalty for leaving huge chunks of ship on the table? Nah. Once I'm down to just the frame and aluminum panels I leave it. If I have tons of time I'll chop it up and send it to the furnace, but otherwise I leave it.

No you didn't mess up, they show up as cut points in structure view, just one of those things you just have to file away during your first sweep of a ship when figuring out the order you want to tackle things.

I don't know if I want to bother with transport Geckoes anymore. All those chairs... That's one thing I really hope gets improved in the full release. If you cut out a floor section full of chairs and drop it into the barge, it should always be able to see that you've got twenty-five chairs in there.

I just discovered that, with careless aim, it's possible to cause a reactor meltdown after the reactor is already on the barge.

Skippy McPants posted:It there any penalty for leaving huge chunks of ship on the table? there's no penalty, but there is opportunity cost tethers are cheap, you might as well just huck the entire thing into the furnace/processor depending on what most of the composition is. even if 40% of the bulk is wasted, you profit on the other 60%

luxury handset posted:there's no penalty, but there is opportunity cost The cargo geckos in particular have a C shaped nanocarbon hull plate with an aluminium section on the top of the C held in place by a single inner nanocarbon bracket. To pry it loose you basically have to make 4 cuts. 2 around the bracket and 2 more on the sides touching the plating. You still get 120kg of wastage unless you do a horizontal cut where the bracket meets the aluminium. This entire game is a nightmare for OCD people. I hate that the lady in the control tower goes “remember your training you put the wrong thing in” like there should be some acceptable wastage due to opportunity cost.

Anybody actually grind down their debt to zero? I'm thinking if I can get a 1 shift gecko speed run to pull the reactor, that's 3 million per shift minimum. 4 if I can get the thrusters and nacelles. 16 million an hour. So 1 billion would be ... 62.5 hours. gently caress me.

I just realised if they add bigger and bigger ships (maybe dock upgrades like was hinted at at the start of the game, where if you do well, you'll be moved to scrapyards populated with other people?), this time limit is gonna be insane. Or can you literally do as many shifts as you want on the same ship? Imagine having an absolute behemoth waiting to be torn down and in a 15 minute shift, all you manage to do is get inside, create a hole to access the crawlspace, and remove one side panel.

Wait, you can do stuff with the beams? Is that what I've been missing trying to remove panels? How do you cut those?

I've got two kids who usually like to watch games; my older guy loves blowing things up in KSP, so I figure this could be a good game for them. Is there any sketchy plot stuff that might be iffy for kids? My younger guy is 6.

Skippy McPants posted:Cutting tool. You need to slice through the airlock compartment itself to free the hull section. (make sure you take the door panel out first, dey worth monies!) I'm still unsure how to remove door panels by itself. Or the Air pressure regs. Seems like I'd have to cut the panel and then cut the devices out to send to the barge. Also...I'm not sure if this was a bug, but I used the grapple pulse on accident when trying to open the airlock and blew the panel right off....couldn't get inside to vent the ship so I tried to do a small cut on the cockpit glass. That was not a good idea....

Only two more certifications to go! And what an adventure it was to get that latest one since I needed lots of electronics which means I had to focus on the passenger geckos, which I enjoy less than the cargo ones. I'm sorry to say the plate-o-chairs tricks hasn't been working for me at all, they never land in a way that gets all that many chairs counted. On the other hand I'm pretty happy now I've figured out a foolproof tether arrangement to dismantle the back of geckos. I wish the game would give you some macquerels at higher grades once in a while, dismantling them in free mode just isn't the same. Anyway, I'm loving the game and with more ships it'll just be wonderful.

Money and your lack of debt as well as your solid history of high profitability defines your life as a success or failure and should be your greatest goal and defining your every endeavor. In this game though its just a high score.

honestly this life doesnt seem all that bad if you survive the first few shots. you work 15 minutes a day, death is probably instantaneous, and once you buy all your equipment costs dont even seem that high. they dont even charge you for new ships! thank you LYNX

Hell, once you get the ability to cut through the hull you can quite literally just decompress areas of the ship and then throw entire parts into the processor

im guessing that at some point they are going to rebalance the money you earn against the valuable stuff you destroy by doing that (for good reason, its currently not very good) and royally piss off a huge amount of the playerbase that are already complaining about timers like a darkest dungeon adds corpses level of people being mad
