Galaga Galaxian posted:I’m definitely off the try-hard meta but I use a single turret with the 360 degree setup and a turret whip’d shotgun. I treat the turret like a mini artillery gun, I constantly whip it, and whip it good. thats the beauty of the game. its so flexible. you can just dial the experience you want in. now if only these dumb danish bastards would bring on the next patch/mod support so I could get into it again.

Single Turret (& fast-setup) are much more useful when constantly repositioning the turret to use it for the electric shockwave OC thingie that the stubby has. Dualies are popular, but the most popular engi setup that I've personally seen is 'no turrets at all', drat loving slackers.

I always put down my turrets the minute Mission Control reports an incoming wave, taking care to overlap their firing arcs and maximize coverage that way it's not as big a deal if I gently caress off to collect some crafting minerals or repair a cargo crate Hwurmp fucked around with this message at 01:26 on Jul 9, 2021 |

On the flipside, I get tons of pubbies that hear a swarm warning, watch me set up turrets, and then just keep running forwards.

Can confirm, pubbies are weird. Meanwhile, my friends refer to wherever I have my turrets set up as "the safety ledge" and during swarms you can't pry them out of there with a crowbar

I think I had a mining mission the other night in the ice biome where the gunner kept running forward around a bend in the tunnels after a swarm warning. As soon as they ran into bugs they just stopped where they were and fired into the chokepoint without moving. They also happened to be right on top of a frost vent.

whats the meta subata oc? im using explosive reload as my current choices are that and just a huge magazine. If someone is familiar with explosive reload does where i shoot matter for the explosion. like say if i tag an oppressor in the butt with all 6 shots then reload will it do more then if i tagged them in the face. and do the bullets stack. or should i use it more like poping a bunch of grunts in the face then reloading. also are there ocs for your drills and satchel? or just primary secondary weapons?

I don't think Steev is even strictly a good perk. It takes extra time and exposes you to damage to even get him, and at higher hazard levels he's like tissue paper and will disappear nearly instantly. Maybe it's better in solo? That being said, I still use that perk because it's fun, and that's important.

Steeve lasts a pretty reasonable amount of time if you grab the veteran armored ones, long enough that your cooldown should have worn off before he dies. Slasher Steeves can do alright on Regenerative Bugs missions too.

if you recruit steeve carefully it's good, draws aggro and guard steeves are very tanky. still not taking it off for dash though. by the way, here's a niche little thing I just learned due to someone on discord claiming that fire didn't last as long on ice, and me wanting to test it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6UWvb_KgA8g

When the game tallies XP at the end for minerals mined, is that just for gold, or do nitra, bismor, etc etc. count? For that matter, does morkite count towards that? Also, is it just minerals mined, or do they need to be deposited?

I believe it's everything mined and collected, you don't have to deposit but you do have to pick it up off the ground.

Secondary Objective materials that you've collected must be deposited before mission ending or they will not count.

it's a really really small amount of XP anyways and you shouldn't really care. like 1 per mineral, or 3 for secondaries besides crafting minerals and (debatably)gold you should just get what you need and then skedaddle

Nitra counts for XP but that's it. It's not worth mining extra nitra and objective mats, but if you have molly time and they're there, you might as well.

That's mostly how I have been treating it - when I'm waiting for the pod to come in, or there is other downtime, I head out and mine for a couple minutes before regrouping, and I was wondering if that was worth it. Sounds like it is, though it's not a ton of XP.

so far this week Molly has: -while following me, chosen to park her tin rear end on top of a two-story-tall cave coral instead of the ground next to me -sat down right in the middle of a cramped passage blocking my escape from a swarm -knocked me off of a ledge two hundred feet in the air -pushed me into a satchel charge's blast radius as I was hitting the detonator -also her lights have all turned blood red and she keeps saying "I'm sorry Dwarve, I can't let you do that"

Just had an instance of the game dangling a carrot then yanking it away. Playing as a duo with a friend on a point-extraction and we got the Pots o' Gold beer before hand. Queue a Crassus detonator that we lured into a small tunnel. There was so much gold left simply because the map had minimal nitra and the waves kept getting more and more insane as time went on. We managed to get ~2700 before we had to give up on trying to get more. What I would have given for a MULE.

There's actually a couple of mods that change molly's following behavior. Normally when all players get 20m away from her, she moves to the location of the last player that left. There's a mod(Molly Respects Boundaries) that changes that to 55m so she's less likely to walk around just from you repositioning during a fight, and also a mod that changes it to 1000m(Obedient Molly) so she effectively never moves unless you tell her to. That's the one I use, but if you forget to press C every now and then you might prefer the first.

Fishstick posted:Time to call Molly That's awesome. My son and I had Molly get stuck twice on the deep dive escort (#2 maybe?) mission this week, including on the return trip. Animation-wise it was constantly walking slowly in place with nothing obviously wrong, when I walked up to deposit it finally sat down, then resumed walking in place. I had to run back from the drop pod to where it (and the two mini-mules) was stuck, and mine out underneath before Molly would resume it's course and we got out with a minute to spare. It had dropped a pile of beacons stacked on each other which amplified the beeping they make. I've never seen that happen before, I was ready to just skip this week's deep dive entirely rather than redo it.

It can do aoe and proc thermal shock for a cryo driller other than that, shrug. Mining usership tanked when they changed minerals to scatter instead of fall straight down.

I use the overclock that lets it put down an aura of damage over time on top of whichever chokepoint I am setting on fire, but it seems very underwhelming, yeah. I use it because the Subata feels awful too, so it's much of a muchness.
