I've only been using my 3 S-Class tools for a day and I'm getting used to switching already. Tool 1 is my Experimental for scanning flora/fauna so I only use it when I land and scan everything in sight for cash. Then switch to the Pistol for mining and scanning for the rest of my visit, and the Alien for Scatter Blasting Sentinels and doors. So other than the first five minutes on a planet I'm back to only switching between two tools.

I only just thought about it but I'm going to see if the new DLSS .DLL that was found with Rainbow 6 works with NMS, I have to say I was kind of underwhelmed by the initial DLSS offering in VR/flatscreen. Anyone else using DLSS, and what are your experiences? I'm usually playing @ 1440p, or VR, and the results aren't as great as other games in my experience

Khanstant posted:Yeah I was going to ask if there was a little hub where goons tried to build near or anything like that. I've seen planets and animals discovered by other players, but never naturally stumbled on any installations, but geez, even if I landed on a inhabited place, planets are so big how would I ever randomly bump into it. I read an article there was a group that established a sector of space they built, then a patch messed it up and they relocated. There are a few hubs and "civilizations" out there. They are mostly organized on reddit, I don't know of any goon specific ones. I have a base in creative mode on the capital system of the Galactic Hub Project, one of the largest civilizations, and my base is right next to a portal, so it's a fairly high trafficked area of the planet. Unfortunately, the game does not handle several bases in close proximity to each other very well, especially large and elaborate ones. What happens is in a given session some bases will load and some won't, so it never really looks like a "city" even when a planet gets crowded. I did in fact built a road that went to my nearest neighbor's place, in that Death Stranding spirit, but that neighbor's base hasn't spawned for me since the last update. Usually there are about 5-20 visible player bases scattered around that capital planet, and it's the most crowded planet I saw until the expeditions. edit: i just double checked some wikis and turns out the planet I was talking about is now the former capital. i have not yet visited the new one.

I'm not playing in VR, but using a 1440p monitor and RTX 3080. With DLSS on I'm getting 120-130FPS in Balanced, and about 100-110FPS in Quality mode. Noticeable dips down to 80 in Quality mode. With DLSS off it's anywhere from 80-100FPS. PeePot fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jun 28, 2021 |

The last expedition introduced me to just how loving wonky multiplayer is, especially on consoles. I don’t think I broke 20fps near any of the rendezvous points and bases took forever to fully load. Then again, that many players in one place is well outside the standard gameplay.

The thing about DLSS in this game is that quite a lot of the performance is reliant on the CPU keeping up, it’s not really that taxing to render for the GPU. So DLSS isn’t going to give you huge FPS boosts like you’d see in some other games, so long as you have a reasonably recent GPU. Which includes everything capable of utilising DLSS, really.

I love a lot of this game, but i just did my first derelict freighter and that was way more fun than i expected. Just set up my active indium farm so im not even worried about the 35mil for 3 frieghters.

Does the bug where you activate the beacon, then stick it in a portable refinery in your backpack while you land (and do the derelict) still work and let you keep the beacon?

They added some new types which i've found to be far more enjoyable than the normal ones haha.

The last one i did had horrific nests that spawned a bunch of small bugs all over when you shot them. There were also other bio things you could shoot for a bunch of living slime. The other two i did just had security robots and turrets. All were relatively easy with a scatter gun with no upgrades.

Yeah the horrors one is hands down the best because living slime is literally nanites waiting to be refined and it's fun to shoot them all. The robots and turrets are boring as poo poo and don't really bring the horror aspect to exploring freighters.

Why does this game hate base building so much? Tried to make a big underwater farm on one of those cthulu planets and holy gently caress. Despite it being literally the same loving model you can't click normal base parts to aquatic base parts and the water will cut through your model making it look fugly unless you exactly line it up above the water. I just settled for having an underwater pad for my ship which apparently works. I just wanted to have a loving above water base seamlessly connect to an underwater base but no.

Do I have to keep restoring the land I mine in order not to hit the terrain complexity limit? And if the land reconstructs itself, does that mean that terraforming land on my base is pointless? Also I saved a freighter but it bugged out and I didn't get any offer or any kind of reward, or even any acknowledgement after they told me to come on board.

I found using the small cuboid rooms to be effective for making a surface<->underwater passage. What sucks is the underwater structures refusing to be set down if so much as 1mm of the building would be above water.

And if the land reconstructs itself, does that mean that terraforming land on my base is pointless? No to the former but effectively yes to the latter. There's multiple layers of save file size/complexity limits at play here, probably largely because of the start point of "Playstation Exclusive Sony Studio" maximum allowed save game size that doesn't apply on PC but is still there anyways: - The upload limits, where a base can be more complex/larger but you can't upload it after that point - Your personal save file terrain modification cap, which applies to every hole you dig and mound you make, which will silently cull old entries once it hits the cap and new ones are added - Your personal save file maximum item placement, which applies to every base item and portable save point you place anywhere, on a base or not. Once you hit this cap (20,000 iirc) you can't place anything else period without deleting something somewhere else Uploading a base seems to bundle some terrain modifications with it, sort of, so terrain mods stick around a bit longer if you upload your bases, but ultimately your best bet is to work with the terrain you have and, if you really want to, put portions of bases below the terrain line connected by short range teleporters to "above the surface" to defeat the issue of terrain reversions burying things. Minecraft, this isn't.

Black Griffon posted:So are we talking Diablo seasons where we can still have a rough idea like "during the fall" or is it completely in the air? The original pitch and based on the two they ran so far was variable lengths, and not thebtypical 'every 3 months is a new season' but I'm guessing something may have fallen through, since the 2nd season had a tie in to another game. Or on the other hand they realized their game's framework just doesn't support having thousands of players building stuff in the same systems, so they're retooling what seasons are. It's weird we've gotten no news, and that they added the season thing to the main menu when making a save. Heck they might even be updating how many saves you can have, since on ps4 at least 4-5 seasons would start eating up every save slot.

Yeah, I get the impetus for trying to to get in on that games-as-a-service aspect, and I even appreciate if it's an effort to foster community, but it seems hard to pull off.

Until now I've just sucked it up and waded through a mid-section filled with water to move between surface and underwater parts of my bases.

I gave up on basebuilding when I realized their building power system doesn't actually work with anything but prefabbed rooms for example.

I just got this game on sale for the Ps4 today. I started a survival game because I enjoyed the difficulty it added to Fallout. It froze me to death. Is survival a rewarding game play mode once you get the hang of it or is it just needlessly tedious?

"Hard Mode" is literally just "what the storage constraints were on launch in 2016" iirc. Your environment stuff drains more quickly too? It's a pretty big gently caress you tbh, I did a "hard mode permadeath" just to get the achievements and it took 2-3 times for me to roll a planet where I could even hope to find cover near enough to spawn to not just instantly die

Yeah I have died 3 for 3 in an unforgiving wasteland of ice, fire, and radiation. Do I need to keep restarting until I get a non deadly starting world? I don't really want to play on build mode but being killed by a timer more than a couple times just isn't very fun.
