I already get a knot in my stomach just from being deep underwater and not having a clear sight of the bottom, I can't imagine how bad that would get if I were doing VR.

GlyphGryph posted:They are like really weird. The fragment distribution is, imo, one of the few remaining things I don't like about the game. There's no logic of any sort to their distribution, which means finding the rare ones essentially requires looking them up online and hoping. I will say that there are actually, as far as I can tell, variations in fragments based on proximity to wrecks/crashed pods. I did the same thing as you forever looking for solar panels (internet says shallows/kelp but hell if I could find any) before realizing they only seem to spawn in near crashed pods and then I found like a dozen in a row once I narrowed it down.

GenericOverusedName posted:Wild fish and plants don't repopulate or respawn; you may have killed off the local stuff around your base. I've had depopulation occur even without killing any fish for food (playing in Freedom mode), and even among apex predators. I sometimes see blood appear when Stalkers move through creepvine, so maybe they've been killing themselves. The game also seems to do some strange things with how fragments show up in the world. I've swum around sections and not found any fragments, then when I get in the Seamoth and turn on the lights, fragments will suddenly appear in the middle of the water and start sinking to the ocean floor.

Efexeye posted:I'm never going to find my 3rd Cyclops bridge piece. I'll never see like 60% of the map Are you scanning all the cyclops bits over by the border between the eastern Mushroom Forest and the Dunes? There don't seem to be specific models for each part, just all parts in a certain area are "Cyclops [x] Fragment"s. Also it's annoying when you finally scan the 3rd bridge piece and it sticks at 99%.

I just switched over to experimental and I'm liking getting fragments from wrecks better than pixel hunting over massive areas only to have nearly everything be for stuff you've already got the blueprint for. I feel like my laser cutter isn't working the way it should, though. The cuttable panels are those slightly shiny ones with the red dots on one side, right? My cutter makes noises but doesn't do anything or drain its battery when I use it.

7c Nickel posted:Cuttable doors are the ones that are blackened and dented and have a prompt come up when you mouse over them. Intact doors with a red light stay shut. Doors with a green light can be opened by hand unless they're blocked off by debris. Yeah, after poking around a bit more I found the ones that can be cut, apparently I was just going to all the wrecks that didn't seem to have any. On the other hand, no fragments spawned for me in the Dunes, Blood Kelp, or Sea Treader's Path wrecks, so no Cyclops on that run.

Xanderkish posted:I'm trying to figure out a strategy for dealing with Reapers. Any suggestions? I'm thinking sticking to crevasses and keeping low to the ground away from open water so they have less room to navigate. Any other ideas? Minimize time spent in reaper areas unless you're in the cyclops, and follow the terrain closely to minimize the angles they can approach you from.

Honky Dong Country posted:I wish I know what order energy is used in. Like in my main base I've got solar, bio, and nuke built in that order. I'm hoping my base depletes solar, then bio, then nuke, as each power source contributes a portion of your base's capacity. But I don't know. I wish you could see how much power is left in each unit of fuel (bio or nuke) or even better, could manually set priorities when it comes to power usage. I've never actually built a nuke, but from my experience solar is used before bio.

Night10194 posted:It gets even easier. The second you have fruit trees they produce so much moisture and food and require no input that you can easily refill fully any time you go to base, and the stillsuit nearly ends the water game. At the moment you can put a growbed and battery/power cell chargers on the Cyclops and be completely self-sustaining indefinitely in complete violation of the laws of thermodynamics.

I wonder if the point of scanner rooms is that you set them up with a solar panel, a hatch, and maybe a foundation somewhere, use them to search that area, then remove the upgrades, deconstruct the room, and set them up somewhere else.

Section Z posted:Speaking of power, am I correct in assuming there is no way to make it prioritize your self sustaining/natural power supplies? Or at least not dip into a reactor until until you somehow run everything else dry at that moment? It should do this automatically. I know it prioritizes power from solar panels over power from a bioreactor.

DopeGhoti posted:I suspect it's largely disk I/O constrained; I moved the game to an SSD and the pop-in is still there, but things do load a _lot_ faster when they are asked to load. I think they just need to work on their LOD settings, which is an optimization thing, and since it's still not feature-complete yet, I can see why that's still on the 'todo' shelf. I'm running on an SSD and I've crashed my Seamoth into pillars that don't appear at all until about 10 seconds after the collision.

priznat posted:I really like their base building model, how things snap together cleanly. Sometimes it works well, and sometimes it just won't let you place things for non-obvious reasons. Trying to place a bed on the Cyclops in the room behind the cockpit is far too complicated because it won't let me rotate the model and it projects longways by default. I had to settle for it projecting into the pathway I walk and not having room for a chair to go with the desk.

I've had stalkers and bonesharks follow and attack me for very long distances.

Also, this puts to rest my fear of planters on board the Cyclops since in previous versions they caused massive physics issues, but it looks like they're more resolved.

There's also a lighting problem where constructed items will show lighting from the opposite side of the day/night cycle, so they appear dark when they're lit up and shine in the darkness. It's especially bad for appliances on the cyclops, but I've also seen it with items like seabase hatches or scannable furniture in wrecks.

Away all Goats posted:If they really want to balance the lantern fruit they need to change the growth rate of the fruit. Right now it could give 1 food and 1 water and still be worth it because like 20 fruits grow on it at a time with zero input from you. It looks like you can still do decently by planting a Chinese Potato plant and Bulbo tree in your Cyclops, although you'll be wearing down your knife getting the Bublo Tree Samples.

On a related note, is the supply of Marblemelons limited to those initially placed when the game world first spawns? It seems like you can plant them in a growbed, but once you pick them there's nothing left to spawn another.

Big updates to the Aurora, there are now a lot more explorable rooms and corridors with parts gated by keycodes and obstacles you need certain tools to get past, as well as posters, scannable furniture, and the spot where we'll likely get the exosuit fragments.
