I got the electromagnetic generator recipe. It looks like I'm only allowed to build base parts up to ~300u from my base computer though (with another 100u of fudge room beyond that) and the power hotspot is 430u away. Is there something I need to build out to extend my construction range?

Ursine Catastrophe posted:I'm curious about this-- the A class looks like it has a maximum of 14 tech slots and 42 general storage slots. Is there a way to unlock the last (apparently-locked) column on A-class ships, or do S-classes not allow for a 48 storage maximum? I say should because I've just been holding out for an S so I've personally done nothing to my freighter but the bare minimum.

Ghostlight posted:Once you're at 42 and go to apply another storage augment it should expand the border (which I assume is what you're looking at) out further. Same with the tech slots. I was under the perhaps-mistaken impression that the border was a hard limit, based on the fact that you can't expand the border with tech slots. If that isn't the case then that would be Good To Know

Pop down something there, I usually put down a half arch or something similar that you can easily find and takes minimal resources. That will extend the build range. Now repeat as many times as needed until you reach your hotspot. I usually repurpose the half arches as carriers for the wires back from the hotspot as they look a little like pylons. Your initial build range is 300u but you can extend that to 1000u in any direction from the base computer. You are creating corridors of buildability this way. If this isn't working then put down a save beacon, save and reload and it will work as it should. Helith fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Oct 1, 2020 |

When the bulkhead augment was glitched I expanded my A-class freighter to 40 / 14. That's all it goes up to.

I tried that but it didn't work, which is why I asked. I'll give it another shot, maybe I have to wait a bit before it sees the part and lets me extend the base.

Okay, when extending, it’s safer to go say 290u away instead of 299. And then put down whatever a little further out. Each item should create a 50u circle of buildability around it. So repeat this about every 45u instead to make sure you haven’t overstepped somewhere and messed up the chain. Another thing to look out for is: your extended build pseudopod might stop working when you portal into your base. Everything you built in it will keep working as normal, but you will not be able to build in that extended zone anymore. Just save and reload in or around your base and it should work again.

Thanks, a reload made it work. I should have remembered that "it gets buggy sometimes" is practically this game's second name, despite how far it's come in the last four years.

This is one of the biggest problems, everything feels so temperamental. Any action you do feels like it could gently caress something up in some weird way. I was close to finishing up the "scan everything on the planet quest", I think I had one more animal to find, but somehow in the process of flying to a different area on the same planet for a different quest, all of a sudden I was 5-6 items away from the animal, mineral and flora scans.

Once you get the build menu collapsing because you hit your limit you're stuck there until you reload. It does, rarely, hit another bug that re-expands your range when you place a new thing after that... but the vast majority of the time nope. You'll eventually work out a rhythm for placing stuff so you can run multiple extraction sites without ever seeing the bug. That's the other reason I use storage depots as waypoints - you need a ton of them anyway so if you place them super frequently it's not a problem.

And just to make sure I understood right, by vertical building you mean making a bunch of power/gas/mining extractors on the same spot, just built up into a giant tower so they aren't spread out on the ground for diminishing returns?

Yup, they are all stackable. Build yourself a tower/stairs so you can keep going up and easily place them on top of each other rather than trying to do it from ground level and don't forget to connect them with wires/pipes as you go.

  You should...you should probably do it more neatly than I do These are mostly supply depots, but you can see some extractors on the side

Is there some trick to surviving lightning? I got killed by “electrocution” while running around in a storm but there didn’t seem to be a bolt striking anywhere near me. On the way back to my corpse in the same storm I started taking damage again so I dug a tunnel and got electrocuted again while several meters underground, is that supposed to happen?

Pretty much as soon as you jump to another system you can do whatever you want. Going through some of it will unlock stuff for zero effort tho.

If you want to just say Screw Yo Quests I think everything can be purchased from the Anomaly and farmed from secure bases. You get a lot of that free by following the quest chains, though, and nothing in this game takes very long.

I'm sure this has been answered before, but how do you cheese your welfare freighter to be a capital freighter? Ignore the first encounter where you would get the normal one, and play some more until you end up in a system with a capital one?

Yes, you turn down the first one and the next one that spawns should be a capital.

This the start of Sky Farm, the very basic layout is done. The square building will change a lot, it's there as a guideline to get other things lined up and in their right place. If you don't fly in then access is by teleport from the platform at the base.   I'm quite pleased with how it's shaping up. I'm tempted to put an underwater viewing room and nautilus access in there too.

Sweet! Turns out my build menu not working on my insane mountain tower base was due to a bug, not because my base was too large! The latest patch seems to have solved the problem for me! I'll try to do some screenshot posting later, after I've finished trying to get into space via a tall building.

- Is there any rationale behind why teleporting to some bases drop you at the computer vs. the base portal, and - Is there any logic behind/way to handle poo poo randomly disappearing out of the medium/large refiners when you leave them unattended for any period of time

Seriously, HG, it's how many years in and that stupid questline is still stupid?

Are land animals more rare than flying? I've been through planets on 6 systems now and haven't seen a single creature on the ground. These kill creatures missions are hard trying to shoot down some weird dragonfly snakes.
