Welp, the game just crashes on me constantly now on PS5. Guess I'm waiting for a patch. E: Realized that approaching the scrap dealer after clearing a derelict freighter causes the game to crash. Stare-Out fucked around with this message at 12:59 on Feb 25, 2023 |

Holy christ, gently caress sentinels, and gently caress New Sesto. Oh, you accidentally got into your ship instead of doing something else? Well, gently caress you, then!

Is it just me or does it have even more sentinels than normal for an Extreme Sentinel Planet? One of the milestones gives a cloaking device and sentinels can't go underwater and both of those things help, but my base on this planet is going to be bare loving minimum, with materials mined from elsewhere. I usually try to at least have a functioning portal out of courtesy, but fuuuuuuuck this planet I'm just going to give the base a name like "don't come here it's empty."

Captain France posted:New Sesto is the wooorst. Is it just me or does it have even more sentinels than normal for an Extreme Sentinel Planet? Yeah, I was hiding, came up after they stopped looking for me, and got all flustered and mistakenly got into my starship (and then stupidly took off) while two of them were right next to me. Pro-tip for any new players: DON'T DO THIS. In my normal, 250+ hour save, I don't care. I have a tricked out starship that treats sentinels like nothing more than mosquitoes. But the dumb rear end ship that you get in the expedition? Holy poo poo. No. It's awful for space combat. I realize that that wasn't the point, so it's on me for stupidly getting myself tangled up in that, but avoid, avoid, avoid.

Shoot down the first interceptor(s), immediately land while reinforcements are on their way, dig a long winding tunnel and hide til they're gone. "Digging a hole" is my solution to most sentinel problems.

You know how each planet in this expedition has the milestone to locate a specific spot the game wants you to build a base at, but in reality once you find the spot you can build anywhere on the planet? Well good thing, because on New Sesto my "spot" was midway down the almost sheer cliff-face of a sunken crater filled with water. That was a fun location to pinpoint while trailing apparently every single sentinel that has ever existed.

I'm starting to suspect these Utopia people might not be entirely on the level. In any abandoned system (not to be conflated with uninhabited ones), all buildings that would normally have NPCs are the abandoned/infested variant, if one exists (so trade depots and planetary archives are normal, but pretty much everything else is run down and covered in horror eggs). It's actually pretty cool, if creepy.

This fuckin' expedition, I swear. My wife already finished it (she duped the gently caress out of everything), so her expedition save and my main save are going to meet up somewhere and I'm going to buy the special ship that way. Idgaf enough to finish it myself. It's just way too frustrating.

Huh, the update has caused one of my bases to just... disappear. (Not that I use bases much since the freighter overhaul, so I can wait for the patch fix / write it off if I have to.) A fun expedition, although I too just duped the gently caress out of it.

I like how all the top search results and wikis don't ever actually give you a list of what the freaking account rewards are for doing this expedition, to see if I even wanna bother. Far as I can tell the notable reward is this new ship but I have enough ships and don't like just using ugly hand out ships anyway. If it's not purple and green to match my fleet then it's trash.

Getting really mad about something in the expedition and then realizing that it was in fact me who hosed up has been the story of this one so far. Although I'm really glad this "build only in your base" mechanic is not the way it normally works.

Despite seeing markers for bases, whenever I go to one there's just nothing there. Is anyone else experiencing this? Like, the marker is floating there but no construction of any kind as far as I can tell.

I made that post above BEFORE stranding myself with empty thrusters a 50 minute walk away from my base. Felt very much like the old days where you couldn't just call your ship you couldn't manipulate the terrain and it was possible to end up in situations like this fairly easily. Luckily it's not the old days and I had built a pilgrim and it covered the distance in about 5 minutes. Well the good news is I had built a pilgrim there and it covered that in about 5 minutes. Anyone reading this post who's new if you ever end up in this situation, and you don'/t have an exocraft, do your best to find any sort of waypoint. You'll eventually find one that has something that will allow you to summon your ship even though the thrusters are empty. If the one you end up doesn't Try traveling north, a lot of planets have waypoints on longitude lines. JerikTelorian posted:Online, PC (Steam), and the Expedition. It's the same for me. Maybe because I have PVP off though?

Expedition finished, wasn't too impressed but at least it was short. I did find a cool underwater cave system on one of the planets though. One thing that's interesting, the Utopia Speeder costs nanites at the Anomaly, unlike the Gold Ship which is free.

Gravitas Shortfall posted:One thing that's interesting, the Utopia Speeder costs nanites at the Anomaly, unlike the Gold Ship which is free.

Each wave got worse and worse too. I couldn't land or escape anywhere like the anomaly since they apparently closed that loophole. I managed to fight off several waves with the rockets and the little gun they give you. But finally my screen went dark, it gave me a quote from somewhere, and then my game crashed. I gave up then and haven't made it back to my save to try again.

Stare-Out posted:Switched freighters again and this time I did lose my base MOTHERFU It's dangerous to do anything major like that shortly after an update, even if the update had nothing to do with that feature.

Anyone have a link to the current experimental patch notes?

Yeah the freighter bug has been around for a while. If its the one I'm thinking of there is a way to prevent it.Galaga Galaxian posted:Yes, HOWEVER, currently there is a bug where the base transfer prompt doesn’t always appear. To ensure you can safely transfer, leave a sacrificial item in the old freighter, it can be a single piece of silicon or whatever. This will cause a warning prompt to appear when you try to buy a new freighter, accepting past that prompt will cause the base transfer prompt to pop up as intended.
