ShadowedFlames posted:About 7 hours into a new save. Are you sure they are tech modules and not buried relics? I haven't had an tech modules vanish beneath me, but every single buried relic has disappeared when I dig to them. The only time I see those relics is when they are sitting out near or in a cave. So I had a bug where I found a ruin, got the keys, after much digging since half the place was completely underground, got the treasure, and got one of the two grav balls. Left, had something point me to an ancient ruin, head over, only to realize this was the one I had been to before (I noticed the digging), but the buildings were slightly different, and some of the keys had respawned. The chest was locked, so I blew three keys opening it only to learn that it was bugged and empty. They really need to add the ability to mark places you have already been. I have had multiple scans and NPCs direct me to places I have already found... and I have only played for a few hours... There are also tons of bugs with structures spawning in general. I had one temple thing with invisible parts. My ruins keep spawning in midair. One of my crashed freighters has it's hitbox extending past where it actually is into a ravine resulting in invisible walls. This is less a bug than an oversight, but I claimed a free crashed ship, but needed materials for repairs. I left and quickly realized there was no marker or anything for where it (and the stuff I left on the ground there) was. Can't call the ship because no thrusters. And there is no way to ping your downed ships so you can fly to them. I was told that getting a freighter will likely teleport the broken ship to onto it. I hope so. Also the teleport module for ships kind of sucks? The range seemed to be less than 150u when I tested it. ToastyPotato fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Jul 28, 2018 |

So when I installed this on my new PC to play the new patch, I didn't realize that my old save was going to be available (cloud saving I guess?) Any downsides to loading up my old save in the new patch? I assume my old base is deleted since base building is completely different now.Happy Noodle Boy posted:So I guess this is new or I'm misunderstanding how ship classes/equipment bonuses apply but I traded a broken ship for an explorer class ship since I got sick of the started shuttle and this bad boy may not have anything special for it, it only uses 25% launch fuel when taking off as opposed to my starter ship's 50%. This means I can be even more liberal with my non-landing pad explorer which is cool and good. I'm guessing haulers take more fuel and fighters use 50%? Can anyone check with their ships? Yeah I dunno, I have one ship that takes only 13% per launch, then I got another ship that had B class thruster efficiency in the right slot and it also only does 13 per. Then I got another ship with no module and it also does 13. But my starter ship does 25 (it's a fighter I guess). The others I have no idea. I would need to look them over. Do ships have different innate stats for their base equipment? I've seen ships with no modules have +25% dmg compared to mine for example.

ShootaBoy posted:So I'm like the one person that enjoyed this since day one, but getting back into now with the new patch has left me a bit out of sorts. My main profile is at a little over 70 hours with a bunch of stuff, but is basically unuseable because of how much has changed. Find a way to get a hold of an S tier Scanner module. I got lucky and got one for free, and now I get 18k-50k or more per animal or plant scan. Scan every animal on a planet and upload them for big nanite bonuses. More nanites= more upgrades = easier gameplay. Look for downed freighters and dig up the cargo boxes and repair them. They can give items that can be worth up to 2 million a piece. If you build bases near them, or have a way of permanently marking them (I think this game has coords?) I have noticed that for some reason, some boxes respawn loot. I have gotten multiple super conducters from boxes at the freighter near my base. I load in, and check the boxes like mail. Look for buried tech modules, they usually seem to have nanites in them, but they can sometimes have other stuff. Look for settlements, especially the 2 long building kind. Those usually nanites, units, and navigation data chips in them. Nav data can be used in your scanner dish beacon thing to find stuff like ruins or trade outposts. Edit: I don't know if this constitutes a spoiler, but apparently you get a free freighter pretty early on by following the bread crumb quest line you start with.

Ruins always have the necessary keys near them. If you can't find them, they spawned underground. Look for anything poking out of the ground and excavate. Similarly, Monoliths and the like usually have 2-3 word relic things, if it looks like it spawned near a cliff, dig into the cliff to see if there is an extra word there. Monoliths and Ruins that give the choice of knowledge or language are also interesting because if you pick language, you get a word, but also gain reputation. Rep is good because higher rep unlocks interactions with the various factions. Including buying stuff and I suppose missions and such. NPCs who accept gifts will accept more than one, so you can dump all your gifts onto the same alien for multiple rep rewards, at least that is how it worked for me. ShootaBoy posted:That's all good to know. Also gently caress the story, I'm a space nomad, I don't care about your lofty ambiguous space being goals. Have fuel will travel The intro quests eventually give you the option to continue the story or go into a more free mode thing, where you still will be given the Atlas pass stuff so you can actually progress. So you should at least do the quests up until it asks you which path to take. ToastyPotato fucked around with this message at 17:37 on Jul 28, 2018 |

Broken Cog posted:Also, check the mission board, a lot of them are just stuff you'd do anyway (Scan creatures, fight sentinels, gather resources) and give a decent amount of payouts. Sometimes you also get some really valuable items from doing them as well. (I had a mission give me a portable reactor earlier, which turned out to be worth 5 mil) Where is the mission board? I have a mission NPC on the station that doesn't want to offer me anything because I guess my rep isn't high enough?

Big Bowie Bonanza posted:lil multiplayer inventory tip: join random games and buy inventory space from the station you spawn next to in people's games instead of doing drop pods Does doing this add those stations to the list of connected stations in your solo game? DreamShipWrecked posted:So I have a bug where I'm supposed to interact with my base computer and its bugging out to say that the computer is on my freighter. Okay, so internet says to fly down, put up a new base computer, save/reload, and try again. I hop in and out of my ship and load a save, except I hit the "manual" save from several hours ago instead of the "autosave". Whoops, but no big deal, the autosave is still separate so I'll just load that, right? There are apparently worse save bugs than that.

So what are the actual differences between the Story or exploration paths? You more or less will get the same stuff right? Both award Atlas Pass stuff to unlock things?Anime_Otaku posted:I got a class A from one of the story quests, it’s nice looking but most of the slots are full of junk, does clearing them out increase the credit value at all? Or should I just hang around at a trader until I can find something that’s working? I dunno that it increases the value. I've read that people just use those junkers as trade for better ships. Since that is cheaper and quicker than clearing all the slots.

I found a nice S-Class ship with a bunch of space but to fix everything would take so much time. How do I sell them? Can I sell them without a freighter? I'm also waiting for my free one of those to show up.. Just fix the thrusters and pulse drives so you can fly it to a station, then park and wait for a good ship to trade with. Probably could do the same at a trade outpost on the planet, which saves fixes the pulse drive.

Fun bugs. I loaded my old save to see what was up. Landed on a freighter to see if I could buy it, accepted a mission instead, got teleported outside and died, lost hundreds of nanites worth of uninstalled tech, reloaded the save, but I can't access any menus, only interact/move. Can't exit, can't reload, can't look at inventory or discoveries. Glad I am doing this on my old save and not my current one. Also, did you know if you plop down a message sphere to try it out you can never EVER remove it or change the message? If you can I sure as hell don't see how. It told me it cant be removed and I can't delete the message. So now I have a stupid message spam me in the middle of my screen every time I move around my base. That is amazing design.

Has anyone reclaimed an old save base? I landed on a planet and plopped down the computer but nothing. I still have the quest, but the quest doesn't say anything beyond find a hospitable place. I kind of would like my base back for free since it already had storage (and I can still see the storage inventory and send things to it. )

The NPC that gives missions also let's you dismiss them. A quick glance at the galaxy map doesn't seem to show much improvement. I still can't just see a list of places I've visited and select them as targets? The game is already tracking them, you can see them in you Discoveries and you can generally see them on the map if you find them, so why not just let me select them from a list. So much of this game still seems designed around pointlessly wasting your time. Like how you can refuel a refiner with a click, but you can't fill the input with a click, you have to hit X. Or inventory management in general really. Also there is no upload all button for discoveries. There is an upload all stellar discoveries button, but that only uploads the planets, not the contents OF those planets. Went on a massive scanning spree? Well now sit there left clicking and hitting E a bunch of times because uploading requires two buttons instead of one. Also gently caress mousewheels! You will scroll with buttons! BUTTONS MORE BUTTONS FOR EVERYTHING. I'm shocked walking doesn't involve pressing buttons for each leg. Duke Chin posted:Is there a good list of poo poo I should keep vs. poo poo I should sell immediately? Since the Next patch I've become a mats queen I generally toss anything I can easily make from common materials if I need space. Other things I sell, even if I am not sure what they do, because so far nothing seems both rare but also important to keep.

Once you get upgrades going, nanites become easier and easier to get. But early on scanning can make the difference between getting a sweet S tier upgrade and not. Question: Is the weird buzzing static hum thing I hear a space anomaly? Is there an easy way to find where the damned thing is? I found it by accident but had to reload my save. Hitting my ship scanner isn't doing poo poo.

I got super lucky and found an S scanner in my starter system. I don't even remember how I got it. It might have been free. The downside was that I stuck it into a damaged multitool.

One way trip unless you build a teleporter ring in the base itself. Then you can teleport to anywhere with a TP that you have been to. So base to base or base to station. Station to Station also works I think?

Left a drop pod with an exosuit upgrade with only 110 cobalt missing, went on another planet to mine them, and now it's not marked anymore Now why would the player, in an exploration game, want to be able to mark where they have been? What dark magics would have to exist for anyone to be able to record their travels, the landscape, and notable locations onto something? What would you even CALL such a thing? You are asking Hello Games to do the impossible! It has been a notable problem since launch and they seem to have no interest in adding any kind of actual maps and navigation to the game. I found out what the weird noise was. It was the reclaim your old base mission. It is bugged. It was flickering in the bottom right corner rapidly. Probably also why it was not able to be completed. Changing to a different mission makes it go away.

I happened upon a freighter under attack. I had been holding off on doing the freighter mission but I figured this wasn't my fresh save anyway and things keep breaking so why not. I succeed the mission after minutes of boring, annoying space combat where the enemies can always shoot you no matter how they are moving. Captain welcomes me aboard, I talk to him, as the quest tells me too. He thanks me and seems to offer me the ship. My only options are inspect the ship, or decline. I click inspect but nothing happens? I talk to him again and it says the former owner seems relieved. It then let's me transfer items to the freighter. Only 11 slots, but oh well. He why does the image of my freighter look like a multitool that is nothing like the actual freighter. Weird. Go to menus, nothing about owning a freighter there. No milestone, nothing. There is nothing to access the freighter outside of the captain who let's me transfer items. I leave and go do a quest. Try to summon freighter. "No freighter owned." I think I'm done with this game until they patch at least basic poo poo to work. Rolling the dice on whether the game will literally function anytime I try to do anything has worn thin. Also fun was blowing nanites on various upgrades that ended up giving me +1-2% damage or whatever. C rank through A rank in some cases.

Going to space makes it worse. Just go far enough away and you should see a countdown timer that reads "searching". When it hits zero they deactivate. Obviously avoid landing and getting out because the game just spawns sentinels where ever you land. Just fly around.

Another thing I learned from playing a converted preNext save, you can't port to any old systems you visited. I had like 4 or 5 systems on my list when I loaded in, uploaded the data for nearly 2000 nanites, but none of those systems are available to port to from a TP, aside from the one I loaded into. I'm starting to thing preNext saves are just flat out hosed. I also don't have an Atlas Pass or the recipe. I've been the the Anomaly twice now and they never give me the recipe. Or am I supposed to find the Atlas Station first? I thought you get Atlas Pass v1 from Polo on the Anomaly.

The scanner dish thing you get at the beginning, or is there a blueprint you can get later one to build actual beacons? I feel like leaving the scanner dish didn't mark anything. One thing that might work also is putting stuff in a refiner to refine and letting it sit, because it seems like doing that puts the refiner on your compass? The could also just let you ping any place you've been. The game already saves data for if you looted it or not, so it doesn't make sense to not allow you to see where you have been. But alas...
