AirRaid posted:Why do you need to place a minotaur bay? I could spawn one right off the bat without a bay. I only had to build a bay for other exocraft (I think i unlocked the ability to call the bike later from one of the objectives) You got lucky. The game seems to mis-associate "other people's exobays" with you in some situations, which is why some people were just immediately able to call down minotaurs or pilgrims the instant they started the expedition

marktheando posted:Yeah same, I couldn't summon any exocraft without building the thing first. At least I suddenly could build the Roamer, which also gave me the mission reward for the Minotaur. I used my reward from another mission to buy refiner-blueprints, build a medium refiner and refined some Paraffinium since that's another thing that's not available locally. Cue my surprise when I was allowed to put down the Roamer-bay right next door! Now I'm on my way to a Trading Post, because visiting that one will give me the blueprints to make Herox, which means another step solved on my way off this forsaken hell hole Edit: Sometimes this game is dumb in the most awesome way: I just survived my Roamer falling through the geometry into the netherworldly ocean below, by ejecting and blasting invisible walls with my terrain manipulator until I could get out. On the other side, I just re-summoned my exocraft and continued on my merry way. Later the game took some petty revenge by letting my save point drop through the ground, so I had to forge a new one. gently caress you to, game. To give some context: This planet here is mostly giant mountains, covered with endless fields of thick mushrooms, interspersed with tons of lakes of various sizes. There are also an incredible amount of caves and sinkholes connecting to them. The perfect shitstorm for exocraft. I've already ended up underground with my Roamer multiple times, and had to leg it back outside to get my space car running again.

Someone on Reddit suggested that going to another galaxy via travelling through the centre fixes settlements that aren’t getting decisions, I’ve just done it and it works, immediately got the event to make my first building and a couple others shortly after. After days of no events. Just teleported back to my base in the centre of the first galaxy, went through the centre (making sure to not use my good ship and multi tool) and immediately left the planet and teleported back to my settlement.

To be honest i don't think I even used the MInotaur that much, I hate it. The Roamer was far more useful to me in terms of getting around and getting the stuff i needed to get off planet.

Reading everyone's challenges in finding herox makes me feel like kind of a shithead for finding two glowing minerals and save-scumming them til they gave out a herox.

apropos of nothing, if anyone wants to do this expedition without the congestion jank, hit me up and I can just hand you the poo poo to repair your ship so you can leave the planet and go do the rest of the expedition requirements Somewhere Else (you'll probably need to jump in your ship and make a note of your coordinates on-planet, the place is so hosed that even in the same group it doesn't seem to reliably show other people if you're not close to them)

There's only 9 entries for Fauna in my Discovery log ( I was under the impression that undiscovered ones propagated the list if they were in the vicinity of a scan but you hadn't scanned them yet ), anyways thanks I'll keep searching the water.

The page by default shows 9 entries, if you hit d-pad down once the last one should be there-- assuming my "savegame that barely touched the planet and is showing 0/10 Fauna Discovered" is accurate, anyways efb etc etc it's always exciting to see what issues are "poor UX" and what are just straight up weird bugs, every problem procedural

I set up a couple of bases on the expedition planet for anybody to use. "Free silver" has a communications ball with the herox recipe, a large refiner, and a trade terminal. "Free copper" has a large refiner. Both have teleporters.

Having multiplayer on gave me good feelings at first in the expo, people were coming and visiting and saying hi . . . but then I got into a point where someone circled bases completely around my starting base, which meant I couldn't do the mining challenge . . .so I moved up to another planet . . . it is a nice place, all the plants give a ton of carbon. Unfortunately someone decided to chain murder me from the sky. That definitely soured my experience. Overall

Turning PVP off explicitly is recommended and I don't know what hippie utopian headspace sean is living in that it still isn't the default I've had multiple instances now of people bugging out the anomaly to let them fly their ship in and strafe people on the ground with the ship shotgun

Guessing that will help a lot of people. Also fixed a bug where exocraft scans weren’t finding buildings closer

Haha I grinded this weekend until my ship components were completely fixed and built a base in a separate star system so I could build a minotaur geobay. I was not able to summon one and had zero luck finding a neighboring base with a geobay. Oh well, I think I still took the same amount of time I would've to clear the season. Apart for the big injections of cash and nanomachine clusters, I didn't feel like the seasonal step unlocks were huge contributors to progress. In other news of my unsolicited opinions, wow is settlement management loving boring and unrewarding.

Do settlements just not spawn on moons? I have my base on a good moon that isn't trying to murder me every 5 minutes and every time I use a chart it sends me to either Planet Bullshit or Everything Is On Fire. Also the last time I played was before water planets and imagine my suprise when the Artemis storyline makes you deal with one. Have been spending a lot of time trying to get the sub so I can go back without terrible problems!

I've also noticed besides the new merchants and teleportal, there are finally members of the other two races walking around. Really makes the place seem a little more fleshed out.

there's a chart with the exact chances but the rule of thumb is "yellow sun system, planet with non-activated copper, in a lush galaxy, in normal mode (not survival, not permadeath)" if you want to maximize your chance of finding a no-poo poo paradise planet. sometimes you can get lucky and find a planets that generate in weird ways like "the storms don't actually drain your hazard shield" but you'll need to do some serious exploring for it

I have an available slot (own 5) and Twitch is showing I have it. In other news, you can now have flying critters for pets! I landed on a paradise world that had gigantic moths fluttering around and got the option to feed it. So I did and adopted it and now I have a flying pet I can ride. Gonna get it to lay an egg and then make it gigantic

Got everything but the Rocketman milestone now. I've tried jumping off the highest mountain I can find (with all the jetpack upgrades including the "recharge while falling" one) which didn't work. Next I think I'll try just boosting as high as possible from the same peak and hope for enough fall/recharge time

In a previous expedition it was cheesed by also sitting in a chair for 30 seconds.

The peaks to get the "climb a mountain over 650u" are basically points so you're just boosting for full minutes going straight up hugging the "ground". You can absolutely jump off afterwards but I think you need to be actually using your jetpack for 30s for whatever reason.

I was boosting up the side of the mountain while climbing it and the time counter kept resetting, I guess it counted touching the mountain as landing.
