If you need lots of Gold and Silver for Freighter Command Rooms

Herox breaks down into Silver (1:250)
Lemmium breaks down into Gold (1:250)
Magno-Gold breaks down into Gold
Living Slime (and goop and viscous fluid) breaks down into Silver as well

I'm sure there's some stuff i'm missing, but here's my attempt:

Simple quick start guide:

1. Follow the tutorial until it gives you the option to free explore
2.a. mine enough to build a few warp cells, warp to a few new sectors visiting the station and pick up all the missions except deliveries. or
b. join random games, and visit the station, pick up any missions, etc
3.similar missions stack, so completing one completes them all, this should give you a supply of nanites
4.with nanites buy S-level upgrades for the phase cannon, life support, mining laser, scanner. Don't buy upgrades for photon cannon
5.build a base, build and populate the specialist terminals, follow through the missions to learn how to farm and get the exocraft
6.make money(see below)
7.teleport to each station from step 2, behind the leftmost vender is an exosuit upgrade you can buy. warp/join until you have as many slots as you want/need. ignore drop pods, drop pods suck.

Examples of how to make money:

-3 S-class scanners stacked in your tool will give you 150-400k per plant/animal scanned
-Farming mushrooms/mordite/cacti in their native biomes allow you to make liquid explosive that is $1m a pop
-Missions will eventually start rewarding you with expensive items, some of which can be combined to make even more expensive ones
-scanning every animal on a planet and uploading it gives a large bonus. there are nocturnal and cave specific animals that can be hard to find

How do i?

-get a freighter: the first freighter you save from pirates is given to you for free, make it count
-Find crashed ships: find navigation data in the stations, land on a planet, build a signal booster, use the navigation data to search for distress signals
-Repair all these broken bits on it!: don't, wait until another ship lands on your freighter and trade your busted one for a working one
-get formulas: use navigation data and the signal booster to search secured frequencies to find manufacturing facilities. shoot the door with the ship or use the plasma launcher. you can reload if you get the puzzle wrong
-get bluerprints: use your visor to search for burried technology, these look like downward pointing arrows, each one will either give you nanites, or tokens to use in the blueprint scanner you can build at your base


Things to have at all times:
Signal booster: good for finding ships/manufacturing facilities/ancient sites. Don't keep forgetting it everywhere like a jerk
Portable refiner: you never know when you'll need a more advanced material
Ferrite dust

Things you should know:

-magnetic ferrite goes a lot farther to charging your terrain tool than the lower forms of ferrite
-upgrades don't carry over to your new ship/tool, but you can disassemble them for 50% of the parts before trading
-every station has 5-6 blue/orange cubes or small black circles on tables/desks, touching them gives you nanite clusters or navigation data
-buy fuel or the parts to make it in bulk. launcher fuel stacks 20 deep in regular inventory
-some ships come with a launcher efficiency module, this reduces the fuel used per launch to 10-15% and helps greatly in the early game.
-The first freighter you save from pirates is given to you for free
-Broken ships you claim but don't repair appear on your freighter when you get one. You can trade them for working ships that land on your freighter
-Don't claim more than 8 additional broken ships or there is nowhere for new ships to land in your freighter to trade
-Multi-tool/suit/ship upgrades in the same category have to be touching for the effects to fully stack
-Fly backwards shoot forwards until you have a good fighting ship
-you don't have to stay in the refeiner for it to keep working
-the stationary refiner doesn't need fuel
-you get a full refund on components for base parts you delete
-hit the melee button then quickly hit the jetpack button to fly forward at high speed
-if a sentinel can see you, you get a white arrow in your central vision and a flashing sentinal sign. if it turns blue, stop destroying poo poo because you're being scanned
-you can zap stuff from anywhere into your on-base storage but can only remove it manually
-the 3 hyperdrive upgrades allow you to warp to different colored stars with different/advanced planets and materials
-quick charge stuff by pressing down on the d-pad/arrow keys, it automatically goes to whatever is lowest.
-don't leave the atmosphere with sentinels on you, you can't lose the ships, or use your pulse engine with them on you. Just hover low to the ground until you lose them before going to space
-you can restart missions you get too far from in order to bring them closer to you.
-you can only add 3 letter-graded upgrades to each device, but you can have 2 groups of 3 in your suit and poo poo by having 3 in your main storage and 3 in your tech slots.
-don't plant plants on modified land, the game might eventually fill it in

How to find your 24-slot S-rank Multitool :

* Install an economy scanner in your ship and unlock and build a save point (carry this with you).

* Find and warp to a rich star system (last word of the economy report should be something like wealthy, oppulent, booming, etc). These have higher chance of selling an S-rank multitool. As an added bonus, they also have a higher volume of ships, which equates to a higher chance you'll find an exotic ship while you're working on the tool.

* Visit the space station and check the multitool shop display. This is important: The class ranking of the tool displayed here will never change. If it's an A-class tool, it will always be an A-class tool. Keep warping until you find an S-class display. Don't forget to buy exosuit upgrades from each station!

* Once you find the S-class display case, we're going to use a trick to reroll the contents of it. Fly to one of the planets and land. Place the save point on the ground and use it. Wait a second for the save to register, then go into the menu and reload the last manual save (the one you just made).

* Fly back to the station and check the display again. If you don't like the results (it isn't 24-slot, you don't like the color or model, or you'd rather try for an experimental or alien tool), fly to a different planet and repeat. You can do this once for each planet and moon in the system.

The reason this works is that every planet has a multitool associated with it, that you can buy from one of the buildings on that planet. However, some planets don't have that building. Each system also has a multitool, which is for sale on the space station. The station tool is determined when you warp to the system, but if you load a game and never warp, the station just sells the last planetary tool it loaded up instead. For some reason, it's the display case that determines the rank and stats of a tool, but the planet determines the model, color, installed tech, and number of slots.

God fishing is so stupid and boring and I agree I want it in every god drat game ever. Why the gently caress is fishing so dope?!

Survival to me just seems obnoxious. Increased resource costs across the board, increased hazard intensity, and a more annoying death penalty. I'm sure some people like the challenge and risk but I just want to see the new content and play with friends.

Knifegrab posted:

Is survival obnoxiously hard or just an actual good challenge? Is that what most people play?

Honestly with Next I think we’re getting a game that is way more than what was ever promised at launch. I’m pretty stoked!

How's the pop-in? Have they improved on that stuff at all? That was the one jarring thing that actually bothered me about the graphics, it was always drawing in terrain right in front of you.

Ok, I think a new TV. Found the oxygen plants but the icon is so teeny, it’s hard work.

Also lol

The terrain manipulator is poo poo for spelunking because half the time it despawns the item you've tagged to find, even if you're careful to avoid it by a huge margin.

elpaganoescapa posted:

Ok, so I got the freighter and now I'm ready to go to another star system. Do I park my little ship inside the freighter and then warp from there? What happens if I warp just from my little ship? Do I have to go back eventually and get my freighter?

What is the best way to make some money in this? I'd like to get a better ship but even with an S-class analysis visor upgrade it still takes ages to get a million spacebucks and the only ships that interest me tend to be in the 15 million spacebuck range.

Also is there a better way to get S-class ships than "sit in station and wait until one you like the look of shows up and make an offer?"

DaveKap posted:

Apparently those modules stack, too (up to three according to the in-game guide,) so if you can get multiple S-class scanner modules, your $$$ should flow like a river.
