it can be annoying getting the terminal to recognize cargo in the truck but i think that as long as the actual cargo in the truck is sitting on the metal grate then you are good. If you listen to the PA it also tells you Cargo Verified when its in range of the terminal

The terminals count vehicles as part of your inventory based on your distance from that vehicle. It doesn't matter how close the vehicle is to the terminal. So, get you truck as close to the terminal as you can, and then try and position Sam as close to the truck as you can while still being able to access the terminal. You can tell if you're close enough to your truck when you can affect it's inventory from the personal inventory manager.

how to make vehicle cargo recognizable every time: for preppers, drive up to the entrance until you get the NO VEHICLES hologram popup for distro centers, there's a helpfully marked area in front of the terminal itself, just park between the green brackets Oxxidation fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Nov 18, 2019 |

when you get to the west coast and the tar belt before edge knot city I was so disappointed that you couldn't use the cross as a jump to evil kinevil a reverse trike into the tar to be taken to the other side. I was so convinced that I was going to trigger the way over in an epic style and I just crashed into the tar and slowly sank to my death. Being grabbed by a BT brings up tar which then drags you places so I thought going into the tar would do the same thing... edit: you can also deliver materials for road construction direct from the truck if you drive it up onto the steps

It swivels around to follow you so you can just climb up on the platform and do it with your back to the truck.

As long as the truck is close enough to physically be touching the paver you're good. Chapter 8 Lmao Heartman's lab is a loving truck graveyard

the concept of the west being associated with death isn't even just japanese. It's commonly associated in almost every culture because the sun sets there. It's present in American culture to the point that "they caught the last train to the [west] coast" is the closing line of the closing verse in American Pie.

I’ve only been skimming the thread because spoilers so I don’t know if anyone has worked out the online mechanics, but I’m pretty sure it updates and/or reinstances you when you make deliveries, at least. I know this because I walked into the Cosplayer’s delivery zone like I normally would, and when I came back out, piled high with new cargo, some jerk had crammed a massive green truck in the only easy way out.

It really isn't necessary to see it EVERY time. Removing that and every repeating cutscene when you complete orders, etc would probably cut the game's overall time down by 20%. Skipping them manually is a chore but i suspect they're masking a poo poo load of load times for Kojimas fancy new game engine.

Triarii posted:I feel like I'd need to watch all those ending cutscenes again because I may have missed things and I'm kind of hazy on the details... Endgame lore talk: I am not positive that anything really differentiates this from any other Last Stranding. The explosion is just how it is visualized in the Beach: spreading out to (merging with?) all other beaches and annihilating life in the "real world". Might be worth noting: death strandings are kicked off by the blurring of life and death and the subsequent emergence of BTs; in this case, Sam's repatriation. Last strandings are the actual extinction events. Basically, my understanding of EEs is that a near-death experience at the right time drops a normal ol' living being in the Master Beach and they have no alternative to triggering an extinction (besides spending eternity there). So it's pretty understandable when, after causing a Death Stranding by repatriating Sam (penance for Bridget's "ha" killing Cliff and foetal Sam), she would want to just pull the trigger outright. Cue the Chiral network and other DOOMs, all to bring about the extinction faster. But THEN cue more internal conflicts on Bridget's part once she again admires Sam's perseverance and humanity's shared purpose in constructing it, and you have her backing out at the last moment, her compassion trumping her purpose. I'd be curious to hear other interpretations. f#a# fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Nov 18, 2019 |

So if the west coast is not connected at the beginning of the game, how is red dress able to FaceTime you? I thought blackmask said the network only barely supports voice data.

Also, one of the BB/Mads scene has him coming in from normal-rear end rain with an umbrella so the full-on Death Stranding definitely hadn't happened yet.

Modest Mao posted:Odradek as described by Kafka in his story "The cares of a family man" that's almost certainly what it is and the usage of the term in-game is almost certainly intentional: "In vain I ask myself, what will happen to him. Can he die? Everything that dies has once had a sort of aim, a sort of activity, which has worn it out; this is not the case of Odradek. Will he therefore one day tumble down the stairs before the feet of my children and my children's children, trailing a line of thread after him? It's clear he does nobody any harm; but the notion that he might even outlive me is almost painful to me." an undying aimless thing trailing a thread you say

Parked my truck beneath the elder’s cliff and took a heavy delivery from him. Figured I’d load up the truck I found up there, and drive it off the cliff back to my own (which had other cargo in it). The truck exploded upon impact, but I survived and all my cargo was literally unharmed, so I guess my plan worked perfectly.

(endgame) I'm definitely fuzzy on the early days of the stranding, but I thought the BBs were being worked on as a response to the stranding, to help people deal with it (or at least that was the public cover story) so it would have to have been well underway by the time Sam was born. And yeah, Sam wasn't the first BB, but he was going to be the first one used to start the chiral network.
