My planets are named things like 'radioactive storms, weird birds' or 'looks nice but sentinels' or 'lots of copper'. When I find my forever planet I'll give it a nice poetic name. e: Sorry, goon at foot of previous page asked: 'Oh yeah, what's up with refiners having local limits now?

The refiner limit has been a thing for a while now, I think to help large bases avoid losing stuff in a refiner. You can still adjacency glitch as many as you want in, but if you leave the area you run the risk of stuff in the refiner bugging out and being completely lost.

So I found a basalt planet with some wicked mountains and plenty of volcanoes, a supervillain’s dreamland for a volcano-lair. Put my base computer on top of the highest volcano peak I could find, then remembered that you could do the stairway-to-heaven trick to make “floating” bases. ...I managed to get so high up that if I hit my rocket pack on my landing pad, my life support starts dropping as if I’m in space, and upon landing I get the “now entering atmosphere” warning  e: sunset, right before heading down to cleanup the stairway.

Herbicidal Maniac posted:... How many ignitors does that make? Jesus, I have like 5 biomes on my base and a few other bases for gas harvesting. I honestly don't know, since my activated indium mine is how I make money. I think my original spec was for 10000/day of the resources you could harvest multiples (the bigger wings on the left) and 100/day of the others. In the end the numbers on the wiki were wrong and I get waaaaay more than that. I also had 100k/day for every single resource across multiple bases, or did before Basalt came in, but those are nerfed down to ~4000/day now. The base is named "An Unreasonable Amount". It's got a comm ball on PC so enjoy.

Welp, so ends my attempt at Survival mode rags-to-riches. At 4:06 I had the industry blueprints for a small solar-powered copper farm, enough rusted-metal-generated ferrite dust to make it a reality, a healthy supply of chromatic and a large store of copper to turn into more, and a functional solar/battery portal for getting out and selling. After that went up the next stop would have been turning that copper mined into chromatic while farming the remaining salvage I'd need for EM generators and then loop sell->expand for a bit to get enough cash/resources to push through to indium. It'd probably take another 3-4 hours. If I cheated and utilized multiplayer from the anomaly I could break the game wide open in under two, but the challenge was doing it without that. What those four hours don't show is the 3.5 hours lost to crashes. I don't know what they patched in with the last patch but it's gone from something where I could build a nightmare framerate-killing structure without a problem to something that dies almost constantly. I was dragging a save point with me everywhere after losing two hour plus runs to a crash when I got back to base. As I only had a few more hours to go I figured I'd push on and at least get to the point where it was all recursive wealth generation. Finally, with a packed inventory borne of 45 minutes of farming, I boosted forward about six inches off the ground and instantly died when I set down.

I seem to have a broken quest. I have to recruit a Korvax scientist to my base to continue multiple story questlines but the icon/indication of which space station it's in doesn't exist. I checked and I am on the right quest. I've tried hopping between several different Korvax space stations and talking to everyone there, completing some side quests and then re-selecting it, the weird "have you put the terminal in a square room" solution I found on google and still no luck. Anyone got any ideas? Cause I'm talking to every Korvax in the drat galaxy and no one wants to come to my base.

Yeah I've been talking to them in that room, in every Korvax space station I have (so I'm up to five at least), no icon indication and no luck. I actually got dialogue from a Vy'keen trying to join my base but the terminal it needed is the next stage, so I had to decline. Which makes me worry I've somehow skipped the right order and dead ended the quest.

You can go to your quest log and restart a quest. I had to do that when needing to find a Gek cartographer.

I did something dumb. I made a galaxy jump but forgot to exchange my multi-tool for the cheap, empty back-up I kept for this exact thing. I also remembered to take my bio-ship but then forgot to move all the tech inside into the protected technology-slots. So now everything is broken. Everything.  This may take a while, ha ha.

Speaking of the terminal staff, is there any benefit to hiring one with higher rank? Will a cadet Armourer make worse multi-tools than say, a captain?

Like three things in my ship (  ) were wrecked.Fortunately I was able to call in my freighter with my ample collection of materials in storage containers and I fixed everything immediately except my underwater jets which wanted living pearls.

Two possible issues - you need to select the secondary mission that asks you to hire the scientist, not the main-mission saying to progress the same thing. It should then suggest one to you with the icon. Somehow this doesn't always work, so you can jump around a bit and restart it and then it should. - General to all the hires, it can seem to only spawn them at trade outposts, so land at those instead and ask them all. The easiest way you can locate these is with the x-menu with an economy scanner installed to your ship. The main place the scientist is meant to be, is in the back-room where the second market hub is.

One helpful thing to remember is the repair kits you get from derelict freighters (you can also buy them from the scrap dealer with the tainted metal from the derelicts if you don't find one directly). Very useful to fix stuff that requires some pain in the butt component for repair.

None of that worked, but I read that sometimes going long distances can trigger a cue to reset quests. Did my first portal and voila, it was up for reset and now it's all working fine again except for the portal dumping me on an extreme planet mid firestorm ages from my ship which, rude. But I made it! I also did my first derelict freighter and drat the sound direction is really on point for the horrifying loving nest stirring bits. I also found a radioactive abomination planet with constant gamma cyclones which is now my storm crystal base if I ever need some, so that's handy.

I keep getting offspring with gigantic heads and not much growth, so I'm probably effectively size-capped unless Big Head Mode is what I'm looking for. Update: I'm seeing online that perhaps juveniles with HUGE HEADS actually DO continue to grow into their head size, and that it takes about a week of real-time. I will need to test this.

The question was: is the size cap tied to the creature, or the species - If I sequence the first egg to it's maximum size, will the egg from that creature be able to again sequence to a new maximum size, or is the size cap tied to the species. It's the latter.

One last thing: while it's simple to clock-scum the eggs, the pet's age appears to be tied to the calendar. After moving the date forward to have the creature grow, going back online reset the calendar to today's date. When doing so, the creature that I currently had summoned stayed an adult, but the other two reverted back to infants in my creature catalogue, and we're back to their Big Head/smaller body size when summoned. The solution is either to have them summoned when you set the date back to the present day, or perhaps to scum the date back several weeks, hatch them on the fake past date, then return the date to normal and they'll stay grown.

Finished the main story and left Euclid for the green galaxy! I want to take Atlas with me as a companion Honestly, I'm pleasantly surprised at how fun this game has been since it has such a rocky notorious beginning. I'm glad I took the risk with the half price sale given I've barely even scratched half the systems in this game.

I just downloaded this off PC Game pass and I was having fun with it, poking around the first couple of systems and starting to understand the fundamentals, when I landed on an ice planet that my PC seems to loving hate and doing random things on there causes a hard crash to desktop. Also, I spent a few hours running around a planet digging up technology modules and then landed in that anomaly station and bought a bunch of base blueprints. I had to reload back to the start of the station for some reason and didn't think anything of it, but when I next went to build a base I saw I had none of the blueprints unlocked yet I was still missing the 60+ buried technology modules I'd spent. Is buggy poo poo like this par for the course or is there something I can do? I built my PC in December and have all the latest drivers/whatever so there's nothing wrong with the hardware. I tried disabling the GeForce experience control panel but to no avail. It's a shame because I was enjoying getting into it but if I can't really do poo poo if it's going to be unstable as gently caress.

But I have a pretty hardcore PC.

Did you play it all in one session? Since the last patch, the game does seem to get slightly more unstable if you visit a lot of different places at a time. I've generally had no issues, even going back a couple of years, but recently if I try to keep the game open a while and alt-tab, I can seem to get it into a situation where it just wants to run out of memory (a guess) and then doing something like visiting a large base or the anomaly will kick it over. I'd try just restarting the game every couple of hours until it's addressed. Having said that I've never lost anything from a re-load.
