Rubies are straight up gating me out of progress. The volcanic vents near the koosh zone north of the Aurora seem to have a good amount of rubies, and relatively easy to gather.

there's a bazillion rubies along the walls in the blood kelp area, the narrow crevasse that goes up to the surface is your best bet for finding lots of rubies in the upper areas. rubies become extremely common down in the green underground area I forget the name of.

In the Early Access people were using two grapple arms and just going hog wild. Don’t know if that’s worth it with how useful the drill arm is.

I just gotta do a bit of farming first so I can build stuff, last thing I did was build the suit, don't have any upgrades yet Incidentally, I deconstructed a scanner room because the stupid stalkers kept stealing the cameras and I had to steal them both back, but apparently they managed to steal 1 back again before I could deconstruct it. What can I do with that camera? It won't let me deploy it (so it won't show up as a beacon), but if I build a new scanner room won't it automatically provide me with 2 new ones anyway? Is it just scrap now?

If you build a new one in range (about 500) it’ll detect the scan probe and you can drive it around like normal. Or, if it’s out of battery you can plug it into an empty scan room recharge slot from your inventory. I think you can access all of your probes from any scan room that you’ve built.

Oh my Ok, it is now clear to me that there is a lot more to this scanner room than I knew. I should probably build (or find the materials for) that chip that lets you superimpose the scanner items on your HUD, I mostly just played around with it and then got distracted by gardening. I love gardening Thank you, I will keep that sucker til I build a new room

I don't have the game open now but I will check it out For my part and from my limited experience, I can recommend not accidentally planting a poo poo load of tiger plant seeds in a grow box directly outside your base, at least until you have the upgraded wetsuit. I thought I could get some rad automated defences and all but they just love shooting poo poo at you and I don't know if they even bother with other fauna

This is especially apparent when you get into the cave network. For instance, a 4xrange scanner room in the tree cove can almost see the powerplant chamber!

You keep a drill with you and jump out to swap it in, you spend way more time moving around than you do mining. Bonus points if you are under attack by someone big and need to switch in a way to do damage, that was...maybe my only death on my full completion run.

The map mod is a godsend and I am on the right track now. Finally found beacon tech all in one area. Started a new base and have started placing beacons to stop getting so lost. Just made the ship and it is pretty cool. Next I guess I need to find some decent ore to make a cutter and a weapon.

So I just found an alien mega base that's also a giant gun turret which proceeded to vaporize the Sunbeam, I'd feel bad for the guys who got lit the gently caress up but well that's just how it goes.

In your defence, the whole reason they are there in the first place is that a big big ship got blown the gently caress up. They knew there was potential danger and they still tried landing rather than dropping supplies or a communication device or.. just anything, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5JiPj9c98Y

Scanner room technical note: It only scans chunks that have been loaded into the game's memory. If you've just loaded in you'll need to do a circle around your base just to force it to load stuff before things actually pop up.

What is the best way to power a scanning room at depth? Will solar panels build energy that deep? Do I need to put up a reactor? Will power transmitters transfer cyclops power?

You're gonna want to build a reactor or put it near thermal vents with generators built over them, I would think.

I got the game free from Epic and finally installed it last night. Why did I wait so long? Progress this far: I have recipes for the propulsion cannon, laser cutter, and gravimag or whatever. I don't know where to find the stuff to build them or to be able to go deeper than 100m yet though, and the ship exploded... Is there a time crunch to decontaminate it? Is that where I should be going next?

Yeah I just popped a 2 room base down in the blood oil area with a bioreactor full of dog turds and a scanner room with max range and a HUD chip, and holy poo poo I was drowning in rubies within 5 mins

In their defense, they had no idea the Aurora had been shot down. It's the first alien technology found anywhere, so there was no reason to worry about thousand-year-old giant defense lasers sitting around on random, uncolonized planets.
