Holy poo poo, Internet.  The same thing happened with Stellaris, and I hope that when Egosoft turns on Steam Workshop integration for mods, they come down on this poo poo like Paradox did with Stellaris mods.

"No I'm not racist, I just don't like how black people I will never understand the psychology of people who feel that just acknowledging that other races exist is a bridge too far. Like how deep is the racism rooted in your brain that you can't even LOOK at someone who has a different skin colour than you?

Boy howdy some of these tutorials are busted as poo poo. I've gone through all the ones that it will let me and seem relevant to this point. Guess I'll just start exploring.

Popete posted:I'm still going through tutorials and have hardly left the starting Argon station but just watching the huge variety of ships (and sizes) fly in and out is really cool. The universe feels very alive.  I've jumped in a couple and had them fly off with me aboard, I just sort of hung around for a bit and then reloaded my save. It was pretty cool seeing all that stuff going on.

Gonna be honest... the excitement I have of just playing the game combined with the excitement of where it's going to go when the mods start rolling in (especially the ones that expand the universe beyond its current size) is too much excitement for a game I'm already playing. Hey so uhh, where is the extensions folder for mods? I don't seem to have one... Edit: Never mind, another mod explained that you have to just make one at the root install dir!

I've got one of those "deliver unstable crystals" missions that opens up the black market but I can't figure out how to deliver these things. The help channel in discord suggested I find the person at a bar but the station the mission wants me to deliver to doesn't seem to have a bar?

So for the mission that gives you the HQ, I'm at the part where I need to build a dock and I'm not totally clear on what it means when it says I need to assign a builder - does that mean I need to buy a builder ship, or is there an NPC type that I need to hire? I feel like it's probably the former which means that I'm nowhere near being able to afford it but I want to be sure before I head off to start earning cash.

I think you can hire a builder as well? Or certainly you could do that in previous X games in order to save money.

When you’re in the planning phase, there’s a button to hire a constructor. When you push it, you need to find a constructor ship somewhere in the universe. I found one in Argon Prime, where I dropped a satellite next to the warf - I just chose it from the map. I’m not sure what it did next, but the station construction commenced - I had to put in some money, the station put up buy orders and freighters started bringing the needed wares in and it was done after a while. Question: what role do crew members serve - my transporter chuggs along with a pilot and even though it has 20 crew slots, it works with just 2 servicemen onboard. I guess this is just transport capacity and you don’t actually need them?

The selected builder ship flies to the station (this can take quite a while) and deploys to become a temporary construction platform. I think the station actually starts with enough resources to build the dock. As it built it without spending any of the money I put up when I checked on it while having more resources than needed in storage as well. One thing I'm not clear on is the cost of hiring the builder.

I'm not sure if I broke the PHQ quest line - once I researched teleportation, the researcher guy tells me to test it. The teleportation works, however there are no new objectives, and the researcher doesn't say anything. Was the quest chain supposed to continue? Seems to be kinda anticlimactic.

Is there a trick to the "find resource deposit" type of mission? Because right now my approach is to just float through the asteroid field and manually click my way through the lot of them until I stumble upon the right kind, which seems... inefficient.

OwlFancier posted:Which system is it in? It’s actually in a “not a sector” spot between Grand Exchange I and Nopileos Fortune VI, just off the white line connecting the gates. Since it’s an instant teleport I can’t really “exit” the jump. Pretty sure it’s glitched. Hopefully I will eventually run into other sources of antimatter like you said. Meantime I guess I’ll put my other ship to work and get a nest egg going. I’ll start by having my dude auto-explore all of Grand Exchange I since that’s where the mission tells me the station is. Maybe he’ll find it.

Landing with a ship that has a max speed of 180 on a Cerberus zooming around at 333 sure is a hell of a thing.

I don't know what this nut job is talking about, I've seen more white people in stations then blacks. I'm assuming this guy went to a non Argon dock, saw that the only 2 humans on station were black, and went to work coding. E: "Unrealistic hair" man this guy must be extremely sheltered.

Anticheese posted:1) Look for a Wharf. It's like a shipyard, but for small ships. I'm not sure how to sell my surplus ships though. Point two is how you claim ships. Jump into space, head to the other ship, look for the flashing ball, head to it, it decrypts and transfers the ship to you.

Can you not have more then one mission at a time? I decided to take the plunge and was in the tutorial start, found a mission signal to go find an anomaly, and found another mission node which I hovered by. I accepted the new mission but wanted to keep going on the anomaly one and didn't find any way to make it active or even find it in the menu.

It's in the map menu, missions manager tab on the left, then there's three subtabs for that.

So far I have commands set up for the three ship modes, docking, autopilot, and a perfect two-second ping during the long range scan mode. Adding more takes like 20 seconds.

Did anyone else find an abandoned Gorgon while breaking the Boron out of captivity? It was right where the quest marker was for starting that mission. Annoys me cause I JUST bought one of my own  Also does space feel extremely safe for anyone else? I rarely see xenon or kha''ak, and when I do they're being swarmed by 5 other ships. The only time I ever got harassed by pirates was when I was trying to sacrifice a ship for the tear and 4 pirates decided they really wanted those 3 anti matter cells.

I've found a way to live the hobo life: crafting first aid kits as you hitch a ride from station to station. They sell for about ten times the resource cost.

And yeah space is very safe afaict, I don't know if they intend for it to be replaced by the war mechanic or something but you don't tend to get attacked much.

The idea of the game is awesome, but trying to learn this feels like I should get a degree in videogames for my troubles.
