Decided to start a Survival playthrough and have so far lost three full inventories to falling deaths from jumping on gradual slopes. Would recommend

Can you make domesticated animals persistent? If so, how? I’ve got the feed machine and the harvest machine but none of the creatures i domesticate stick around.

You can summon them the same way you would your main starship, under “other ships” or whatever at the right hand side of the menu. You’ll have to fix them up with basic elements to get them flying after that, though. Alternatively, once you claim a freighter they’ll start showing up in the hangar. They’ll be the ones that are on fire. If you need a quick cash injection you can always fix up a C-level’s landing gear and pulse engine then scrap it at an outpost, you’ll just need a few free personal inventory slots for the scrap in order to sell it.

OzyMandrill posted:One tip - when mining resource deposits with the terrain manipulator, use the smallest beam size. The amount you get is based on time more than how much disappears. Use a big beam and you may get 50-100 from one patch. Use the smallest setting, and you can get over 1000 of a resource from the same deposit. If it's a storm world, tunnel under the deposit and eat away at it slowly from underneath and it keeps you safe while you nibble away at it. It's a little bit weird in that you might as well just slap the yield multiplier mod on the advanced mining laser and no other mods, to maximize what you get

Thundarr posted:Since it can take many thousands of materials to repair all the broken inventory slots in a crashed ship, I'm guessing it is probably best to just vendor trash the ship at a space station and use the cash to buy a fully functional ship from an alien. Unless the crashed ship was already S rank, maybe. quote:I've run across a few ruined freighters in space so far, but I haven't been able to find a way to land and explore them like the wiki implies you can do. Are the landing pads only available once you have your freighter? I've been dicking around in the first 5 or 6 systems on the new save so I haven't picked one up for myself yet.

Casu Marzu posted:So I bought coordinates to a crashed freighter and had to back off planet to get supplies to fix the cargo pods. How do I find the stupid thing again? It looks like the coordinates/quests got wiped as soon as I took off. Unless it’s part of a quest in the log (and it might be!) it’s gone baby… gone. You gotta drop save beacons on anything planetary that’s not a base if you want to find it again… though if you’ve got an Econ scanner in your ship you can alway scan for the nearest trade terminal.

Casu Marzu posted:Related, is the only way to save locations like a planetary archive/trading post that the game doesn't think is important enough to add a location marker on the compass, adding a custom marker or a save beacon (if that appears on your compass)? I wanted to explore the archive a bit more but ofc I never found it again after flying off You only get one custom marker, not sure they persist when you leave atmosphere / the system.

I'm pretty sure you don't even need a refiner for that stuff, you can whip it up the same way you whip up metal plates and poo poo.

Props to whoever mentioned that blasting out the cargo compartments on capital ships doesn’t hurt your faction rep. Got a ridiculous run of fleet warp-ins, three freighters to a spawn, about five consecutive spawns that happened as soon as I cleaned out the last. Topped out my storage.

Unfortunately not, sorry for the confusing wording - you can destroy the cargo pods attached to freighters and net their contents (usually space metals, chromatic metal, nanites or freighter modules, explained below), and on normal difficulty you can handily deal with the sentinel gnats that are summoned. The only way to get freighter cargo bulkheads / expansions that I've seen is by clearing a derelict freighter mission. Farming freighter pods will get you salvaged modules used to buy blueprints to expedition consumables, engine upgrades allowing for freighter summoning in new system types, and the all-important mass teleporter that will allow you to access both the freighter inventory and its cargo space from planetside (I haven't tested its range, but you can apparently access it from systems away).

One absolutely massive improvement with Origins is that terrestrial and freighter cargo vaults are integrated - meaning, if you build cargo cubes 0 through 3 at your base and cargo rooms 0-3 on your freighter, each given number designation shares inventory with its counterpart, like dropbox for noble gasses. I don't think this was the case previously. The real benefit is that, at least when in a planetside base, a matter-transmitter upgrade to your freighter allows instant, map-traversal free access to both freighter inventory and your entire cargo storage apparatus. Makes things a whole hell of lot easier when you want to plant some sentient flora and realized you left all your Indium in crate 5 down in the basement.

After a period of credit investment (enough to get a decent fleet) the frigate expeditions become a way to trade a modest amount of extremely common elements (dihydrogen and tritium, for frigate fuel) for millions of credits. You'll also be able stock up on more advanced building materials (herox, hot ice, cryo pumps, etc) that you can either sell for big money or use to build even more lucrative trade goods.

You have to raid neutral freighters for tech points. You can go after the standalone cargo pods but they’ll hurt your faction reputation, but the cargo pods attached to capital ships don’t. If you’re lucky you can come up on a fleet of big boys that will net you 4-6 in a go. You’ll also get a metric ton of space minerals and a few nanites for your trouble. E;fb

Stripping AI freighters for fun will also get you all the precious metals you could want and then some. Never manufacture chromatic metal ever again!

Ghostlight posted:Unfortunately the last patch changed it so scan mineral quests now direct you to a specific planet rather than being happy with any planet. Otoh pirate / sentinel / animal / predator bounties are all still indiscriminate. Though with pirates it's only if different contracts are in the same system.

You spawn at your last save point (usually yr ship) with an empty personal inventory and one or two of your gadgets broken. Your “grave” is left where you died and contains all loot and materials you had on death. So presumably like a Souls game you lose on second death what you left on first death, provided you neglected to pick it up.

As noted earlier in the thread, permadeath in this game is not really worth it. There’s never a time where death in the game feels earned, and to add a total save wipe onto that annoyance just makes it undue. Go play DOOM or XCOM2 if you want to play an Ironman game.

I love that you can grief by dropping a base in the near vicinity of a copper deposit, thereby making it inaccessible to anyone but you. Also how if you just stand around for long enough the game will apparently give you achievements that people in your general area also achieved.

Shockeh posted:Woah, ship slots are *expensive*. Or if that’s too much building and waiting, you can always scratch up enough money to to buy local goods, slap an economy scanner on your ship, and play space trader. For this you will need a phone to look up what different economy symbols mean. Or you could trawl pirate systems until freighters warp in and then steal all their poo poo - sentinel craft don’t spawn in pirate systems (or they didn’t, at least) and pirate system cargo does big numbers just about everywhere. The farm method has a lot of upfront work (counting the nanite gathering for learning all components + mining you’ll need to do to cover initial planting costs) but once you get it in you’ll have hundreds of millions of credits for 10-15 minutes of work every day. Everything else takes more work… but is also potentially more fun to actually earn Basic Chunnel fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Oct 9, 2022 |
