So sometimes the procgen makes some neat things. I'm currently settled on a planet called Val Paradiso. It's your standard paradise planet, no extreme weather, star bulbs etc. It has exactly one predator species, this goofy looking gently caress:  Now, what's remarkable about that is that he comes with this procedural tag:  Why is that interesting? Because the most common herbivore on the planet is this guy:  Who has evolved lanterns on his back to ward off the only predator likely to try and eat him.

Regarding Multi-tools, I'd like to mention that Prototype and Alien versions are usually way better than the normal ones, even at much lower ranks. My B-rank Protoype gun knocks pretty much every S-rank gun I've seen out of the water.

Got an avtivated indium farm going! Surveying is... annoying as poo poo? Doesn't look like you can toggle so you're stuck hopping around the ship until you get the right thing. Anyways after quite a bit of that I found a good deposit and got to work. And by work i mean mining the absolute poo poo out of everything because you need so much ferrite dust! I didn't bother surveying for power and just got a few solar panel and batteries going. I figure I'll get the system to run through the night then just keep throwing silos until I get tired of plopping them down. Then I'll properly build a facility around it because a e s t h e t i c s. Didn't bother trying but can you ramp up production by installing more extractors or are you limited to 1 per surveyed area? And is there any point to powering the storage silos or are the power condiuts on them for the purpose of chaining power to other stuff? This planet is great outside of the burning superstorms that literally blind you if you try to fly anywhere.

I built an extractor on a copper spot near my base before I knew what the survey scanner was and I'm decently happy with all the copper I am pulling out. Really wish the survey tool let you pick what you wanted to search for.

Got my first "scout" base setup with just a teleporter, power, and some extractors / silos. Had to run the power line super long so I extended my base distance by planting flags. It's gathering Oxygen which isn't the most exciting material but it will be nice to never need to worry about it again.

On my first playthrough and this game has a lot of moving parts and not a lot of explanation as to how they connect. I just reached the Anomaly, but still haven't procced whatever you need for the in depth base building quests. What am I missing? Also is there a 'best' website to use to figure this game out, it's pretty obtuse and seeing "get storm crystal" but not having the storm crystal entry in my catalog to explain how/where to get them is just one of a million why did they do it this way questions I've had in the past 7 hours.

My home base is on a small verdant moon orbiting (floating next to) my starting planet hell ball. It’s gorgeous and the orbited planet takes up 2/3 of the sky with huge rings arching over the horizon. The scale of this stuff in VR is immense. Also in my travels found a crashed freighter that wasn’t the quest one. It looked like a huge frisbee sticking out of the ground from several Km away. I walked/ran to it to take in the sights and it just kept growing and growing until facing it was my entire Oculus screen. Awesome poo poo!

So I guess you can't just plant whatever in normal planting silos anymore and actually need to use the greenhouse for non native plants. Maybe that was existing before but I haven't played since Next so dunno.

OwlFancier posted:Nothing you're going to unlock is ever going to actually vary what you're currently doing, though. You're always just going to be flying to the same prefab buildings and talking to identical aliens repeating the same dialogue, buying functionally identical tools and ships, on virtually identical planets painted different colours. If you distill the experience of gaming you will find that all video games from 1972 until now are like that. Every single one of them. Closed sandboxes with a limited set of rules. The only exception being MMOs but only because they are glorified chat rooms with gameplay elements, remove other people from mmos and they collapse again into that definition.

So many things to upgrade, also a main story line, also just random loving around the galaxy, not clear what I should be going for.

Went to play beyond for the first time only to find out the game "upgraded" beyond my computer specs. Ran fine before and now I dont have a graphics card that supports vulkan. I didnt think an update to a game I've owned for years was gonna be the first thing that was flat out unplayable on my system. I figured maybe Cyberpunk was just out of reach next spring. gently caress it. /rant

To reach the system the quest tells you that you need to craft the red hyperdrive engine. However, freighter have no color restrictions and can jump directly to any red start system, bypassing the step altogether. I uh ... just discovered that you don't actually need to have your red hyperdrive engine working, you just have to install it. I forgot to actually put the metal in my cadmium drive, got there, then realised. the bugs in this game own

ps for whoever was complaining about not being able to change the mining beam size a while ago, it looks like this is due to the change to Steam controls - the two modes are using completely different control sets, with only Build having these bound. All you need to do is go in and bind the Beam Increase/Decrease actions to buttons under the 'On Foot' set to restore the mining beam size changing. Usefully, the control remapping within the game is also bugged in that it hides (not disables) the button legend, so you'd never even know you can bind multiple actions to a single button unless you open the controller config from Steam itself. Unfortunately you cannot have them on the bumpers without binding Melee somewhere else or being content that you're going to punch something every time your beam size changes in that direction. You don't have to worry about Secondary Action on the left bumper since you have no valid secondary action with the terrain tool out. e: you can also restore the ability to tag locations by changing out the On Foot X button's 'Custom Marker' action with 'Tag Marker' Ghostlight fucked around with this message at 11:33 on Aug 20, 2019 |

I'm still very new to the game, only warped to one adjacent system so far, no Nexus or freighter or anything. Having lots of fun just exploring. Made a few million last night wandering around a mountainous desert world digging up old bones. After that I randomly picked a planet to check out that ended up being an exotic world. The "beam" type, I think is what the wiki calls it? Really cool to assume it's just a grey rock from orbit, only to land on a planet with bizarre floating rocks, rolling orb creatures ("cheerful"), and green light beams shooting into the sky. Felt like the set to an early star trek episode. The massive deposits of gold didn't hurt either. One question I had as I'm still struggling with the UI: how do I get a good overview of the solar system and the planets in it? Currently I blast into space and use my mk. 1 eyeballs to identify a planet and navigate to it. But surely there is an better way to see all the planets, their names, resources, and position?

I hired my first frigate yesterday, a B class combat ship for 3+ million. Except when I went to my freighter... no frigate. They definitely took my money though! I'm going to pretend I ran into a grifter who flies around the galaxy bilking people out of money and then disappearing. I probably know what actually caused it though. When I got my freighter I didn't bother with the tiny little quest things it wanted me to do - use the computer, talk to the navigator, build a fleet command. I just got the freighter and left. I've seen that a ton in this game - sometimes the game really really expects you to do things in a certain order and if you don't, you get screwed over. I see it with quests as well - you can do something that would complete a quest, but if you didn't have that particular quest selected at the time it doesn't actually count. Ah well, time to go collect some more storm crystals.

I went from the beta branch back to the main branch last night and my performance improved quite a bit  Anyway, Sean has mentioned multiple times that they took time to address the scale of things for VR users and holy poo poo am I glad they did. I found my first crashed freighter last night as part of the quest to get my hyperdrive going. When I landed, the sun was just going down on the planet and I got out of the ship next to this massive hulking silhouette of the freighter. There was just enough light left to make some details out and I had one of those “holy poo poo that is unbelievable” moments. VR really nails home how big those things are and how tiny you and your ship are in comparison Really liking this game in VR In summary:

Can anyone explain to me why my first mineral extractor setup isn't working? Silo end:   Extractor end:   I've also tried demolishing both, rebuilding the extractor by itself to see if it can hold materials by itself (no), rebuilding the silo too and connecting them directly by 1 segment of pipe to see if that helps (no). Not sure why the silo has the red 'no power' icon, you can clearly see it has power and the power status of the network sure makes it look like I'm producing more than I'm consuming. And, uh, supply depots can store power? They're supposed to be batteries too? Also I noticed that it seems like if you're doing multiple pipe segments, you have to get everything right the first time because they don't give you dock points like wires do later. Not that I can tell since none of this poo poo will work at all! edit: also are the old 'autonomous mining units' still in? The ones that would mine from the normal shiny metal deposits on the surface. I see them in the catalogue but you can't get them from the research terminal in the Nexus so I'm wondering if they're story gated or just left in by mistake. metasynthetic fucked around with this message at 14:51 on Aug 20, 2019 |

The Walrus posted:Are there different types of crashed freighters? I've only ever seen the one with the big ring aft area. But yeah, was cool to come upon for the first time. Before Beyond, all crashed freighters looked the same. Randomly generating them was a new feature introduced in Beyond, and I've seen a couple of variants already. If you keep seeing the same one either you're unlucky or it's bugged, even odds which is more likely at this point. It kinda sucks that fully looting a crashed freighter costs so much resources, I frequently have to walk away and come back more than once to finish. With their rarity they should be more like instant treasure piñatas.
