Opioid posted:Please make No Mans Sky but without all this space travel and planet discovery garbage i dont see the problem with that? no mans sky already exists and i would be kind of dissapointed if the next game hello made was a similar space travel game. they could definitely take the same kind of idea of exploration and do it with just one big biologically/ecologically diverse planet and provide a great experience while also being very different from nms i mean is their purpose as game company to make just one game and then just update that game forever? surely they will move on at some point

I felt pretty bent at first when I picked this up and the technology to build boxes appeared to have been lost to the sands of time and space. Whereas in like every other crafting survival game that's like the first thing you learn to make. Got over that hurdle, now I'm growing nipweed in my freighter/mobile grow op.

The progression on those storage boxes is also whack as gently caress. I built a bunch on my nice base, then progressed the story some more, at which point they locked the ability to build them until I progressed whatever questline to unlock them. Which also meant I had wasted my nanites or whatever on unlocking them in the first place.

Today I learn what happens if you build a base close enough to another that it your electrical hot spot is actually a part of the new base. It actually seems to leave what you have grandfathered in and flowing to the other base but not fully understanding what was happening and why the other generators I built were not part of the grid, I tried to rebuild and well…I guess that oxygen mine I was only going to half use is going to have plenty of power. I also noticed that several base-size extension structures have become part of the new base. I guess I should probably remove those to avoid further overlap. All of this because I noticed the ceiling lights didn’t come on in a building that I don’t really give a gently caress about and am making a restaurant as a lark.

So anyone ever do co-op in this? I like the concepts of the game, but eh I’m not a big base builder…or I suck at design…or both. I’ve been enjoying the gathering stuff more since I started playing Conan Exiles, but I’d like to be able to play helping out, but not having to worry about base layout and the like.

i mean its as simple as someone picking a "hub" or "capital" planet and sharing the portal address to start with. and then its just a matter of enough people actually being interested in building bases/hanging around there that it actually turns into a place. i think there was just never enough people interested in it at the same time on SA in earlier versions of the game it was a pain in the rear end because teleporting via portal meant not being able to build bases or access most of your stuff, so people developed intricate methods of being able to all navigate to the same place using offsite tools (e.g. the "pilgrim star process"). but thats no longer necessary because now you bring everything through portals and can build bases wherever you go, so the barrier to entry is much lower.

I meant to ask is the MP/CO-OP cross platform or platform locked? That said I really never got far, so while I’ll try, I’d suggest others try too…as they/you might get it a lot faster. Edit: ^I’m not surprised that with the…unique launch…that the interest wasn’t there. Hopefully there will be this time.

My instinct was to turn it off, but I'm probably not going to get an earful of comments about my mother from DarmokJalad82 for not collecting Indium fast enough.

I usually leave voice chat off in console games when playing with randos because yeah you won't get normally get a stream of abuse, just you'll hear dudes singing to themselves, a fan in the background, and someone eating while having a conversation with someone else in the room, or a 10 year old constantly asking if anyone else has a mic. Haven't seen if NMS is any better.

If anyone wants a shared point to build bases and generally bimble about on, I've built a little base here: http://nmsportals.github.io/#2051DA97F914 You'll need to find a portal and power up the glyfs to get there. It's a rather pleasant purple world, I've made a basic base on it but that's about it (I haven't really explored or named the planets in the system) Gravitas Shortfall fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Aug 24, 2021 |

I could be wrong in 2021, but TTBOMK whilst you can group crossplatform and do everything / see everything together, base discovery is platform locked. Bear it in mind when considering who'd visit indium mines before you effort a setup for instance. IMO the game really shines the most when you co-op with a friend and go on a free form adventure and set goals as you go.

The most recently uploaded base will be the one that appears to other players. Uploading a different base on that planet or moon will cause that base to appear instead of one that previously appeared to others. I wish they'd include shared base building

Can someone explain to me what the lockers do in the Colossal Archives? For the life of me I can't figure out what goes in them, even after reading the wiki. drat though that is one of the coolest moments ever, when you are idlely looking for space trash on the floor and you come over a ridge and see like the deathstar just hanging out on the ground. Khablam posted:I could be wrong in 2021, but TTBOMK whilst you can group crossplatform and do everything / see everything together, base discovery is platform locked. There are symbols next to people's bases that indicate whether or not they are console (although I don't know which ones) or steam players. As long as you're in the same universe and same mode I think you'd probably be able to find another player's base with a combo of portal coordinates and longitude/latitude coordinates. Which is a really arduous way to find anything I admit. But doable! The game is so weird when there's a lot of people in the same place. I spent a good amount of time today in the Void Egg place and it was pretty wild. .

So those lockers only accept the samples that the quest giver sends you out for not any other one you got beforehand. They're pure credit fodder so feel free to sell them all, even the alleged cursed one doesn't seem to work and will waste your inventory space.
