The thing I don't get about the timer is that it's redundant with tool health. You could effectively limit shifts and prioritize efficiency by just having tools break when they get to 0% health, which would also let the player take their time with planning and allow you to give more time by just giving tool health upgrades ala tethers. As it stands these two mechanics don't make much sense together and I'm not sure what the intent with both of them being in game is. The timer-free mode really makes this shine too imo, since you're still fairly limited by tool health.

The only noticeable difference to damaged tools, aside from smoke, is the split saw will push you back a little harder with more damage.

There is no way you full buffalo a hard ship or higher end gecko in 15 min ( cue video proving me wrong) There needs to be a compromise between shift cost and what you leave on the table, but it is a step in the right direction. Someone said above it's basically $50k a minute.? Go as long as you want, just get charged in perpetuity. Still not seeing a s Reason to take any longer to remove anything but reactor and big ticket items , then just spawning a new ship , but liking the updates so far

Make sure to turn on the captions, that's where the commentary is. To be fair, however, the work orders are pretty sloppy, and a lot go unfulfilled, but that wasn't the point of this video. The point was "gut and recycle a Gecko for as much money as possible in a single shift," and once you've unlocked everything, work orders don't mean anything.

If you mostly ignore work orders you can 'whole buffalo' the gecko. Transport and industrial. If you just want big ticket items as fast as possible you can get the industrial reactor out ($3m) and yourself back in the hab in under a minute. For the transport you can pull the reactor, ECU, engines, nacelles, and power generator out in about 4 minutes for $5m. For grinding work orders the hard mackeral can have all work orders filled in 10 minutes but for only ~$3m. Almost Whole buffalo,  This bad boy can deep fry a buffalo in 30 seconds,  It is  Effectively failed but still a win  Big Ink fucked around with this message at 21:26 on Jul 12, 2020 |

I got this game like a week ago, I've done a mackerel or two per day and slowly been getting the hang of it. Did my first gecko - the light transport one - today and jesus gently caress things got big. Took like five shifts to pull the sucker apart while figuring out where everything was but I had fun and made some dosh. This game does a great job of satisfying that building itch for me, I used to love capturing AI ships in Space Engineers, figure out where all the traps and stuff was and reverse-engineer them. Amusingly enough my wife watched me gut a mackerel and described the whole game as 'Viscera Cleanup Detail with spaceships' and she's not really too far off.

I think one of the audio logs or some Weaver chatter actually covers the real reason: the FTL gates got upgraded, but all these old ships can't handle the stress of the new transit system, so Lynx Corporation bought up a shitload of them on the cheap so they or their The fact that these ships are poorly constructed death traps is completely unrelated, and if you think the new ships aren't also poorly constructed death traps, I envy your innocence.

At least they were thoughtful enough to put a thin aluminum wall and some glass between the passengers and the reactor.on the transport version.

Yeah, humanity in this game haven't left the solar system. Getting into orbit at all is still stupidly expensive, and once there the only way to get anywhere outside earth orbit in a reasonable timeframe is to get launched out of the railgun station and into a series of accelerator gates along the trajectory to your destination planet, each one adding a jolt of 50g acceleration (or de-acceleration after the halfway point). It's a railway in space.

It looks like some physics bug caused the stern to move off as soon as it became detached. Normally you need a ton of tethers to move all three stern pieces as a whole, so it doesn't seem like a reliable trick to use.

So Brazil clearcut everything and then dammed up the Amazon river to create a freshwater inland sea for farming. Florida is underwater, nearly everything on the coast is underwater or desert. How far into the future is this game? 5 years? 4?

So how do you handle depressurizing all the rooms on a Gecko? I depressurize the main room, but all the other rooms are still full. I've tried opening all the doors before triggering the atmospheric controller, but they all close and isolate rooms once I switch it on.

Opening a door will give you a gust of air but not cause a catastrophic decompression. Basically depressurize the main area, then open each door in turn. Use the x button to hold on to the wall. Don't forget to depressurize the airlocks.

You need to be slightly careful when opening doors in a Gecko as cargo crates can get launched into valuable salvage. Open doors with floating junk first so they hopefully bounce off another door instead of the engine console or bottles of fuel on the wall. A popular alternative to full venting is to leave the airlocks and cockpit pressurized so you can nick them open and let explosive decompression detach them from the outer hull.

I legit am excited for workshop support and the chance to maybe make a ship or two for some people to rip apart. I'm sure all the big name sci-fi series ships will quickly be added; things like the Star Trek tech manuals where they detail where all the little systems are in the ship will feed some interesting designs.

I've tried opening all the doors before triggering the atmospheric controller, but they all close and isolate rooms once I switch it on. I've found the safest and most useful approach to be to pressurize the main room, then head into the crawlspace and from there vaporize the floor of the other pressurized rooms from below with the stinger head. Once done, head back to the main room and depressurize it again. The added benefit is that with the floor gone you'll have easy access to move the content down to the barge once you've peeled off the outer hull. Destroying doors directly seem to cause atmospheric controls in adjacent rooms to stop working, and partial cuts in walls will cause that wall to catastrophically fail if the pressure state on one side at any time doesn't match the other.

Just bad luck. On a lighter note I've gotten into the habit of putting my character's right hand on the left airlock door and vice versa and watching it glitch out when the door opens.
