My biggest problem with base layout/construction is that I always wind up having flora growing through the floors and foundations are lovely to use since they don't loving snap to any sort of grid, which makes connecting your buildings insanely difficult

Yeah I wish base building worked like the photo mode. I'd be able to do much more if I could pan around the area and build from above.

I can understand the verisimilitude the game is going for with first person and having you do everything from that POV (barring rovers), but HG could contextualize it around using your scanner or something and just have an overhead and completely adjustable camera, introduce grid snapping, etc. Essentially make it a 3D overhead base building game in UI, let me see a window of all my my blueprints on one side in a window and everything. Hopefully they end up going that route because building in first person isn't the best

What's the loving point in the exo vehicles other than the near scanner? They are slow as gently caress and their storage is disconnected so if I want to transfer something from it I need to send it to my ship and then be close to my ship to transfer it to my inventory! Am I missing some weird magic trick or is this really how it is supposed to work?

On PC (not sure about PS4) there's no Height limit so you can literally build space elevators.

The big exocraft is impossible to control and slow as gently caress. The medium exocraft also sucks to drive around. The speeder is fun as gently caress to drive but I still don't know why it exists when I can just call my ship down for a minimal plutonium cost. Also are the exocraft scanners kinda busted?

I randomly stumbled across a nifty replacement for my starter craft - a 44 slot hauler. I am going to crash markets repairing all the slots, though.

I just waited 20 minutes of my life and reloaded my game four times because I had finally found all the animals on a planet and thought my game had glitched and wasn't giving me credit for finding them all. Pro-tip: Once you find all your animals, go to the discovery page, hit E on each one to upload it, and then click the loving animal paw in the upper right to collect your reward. I don't think there's anything that points you towards doing that last step.

Does the game still do that thing where the cost of repairing a crashed ship is prohibitively expensive, to the point where just getting a new ship is cheaper?

If you fix *all* the slots it's often way more expensive than buying an equivalent ship outright, but if you're just starting out and fix slots as you go it's a good way to get a bunch of slots cheaper + quicker than shopping about for a new ship.

I love it, I got the first base from the story on a "great world" that turned out to be a desert shithole. Meanwhile there's a base I can claim on a paradise planet just next door. I get the feeling the Apollo guy doesn't have my best interests at heart....

I get the feeling the Apollo guy doesn't have my best interests at heart.... This exact thing happened to me. I set up shop on the nice lush world next door. I'm pretty sure there's habitable bases on 90% of planets. Anywhere that can spawn actual buildings will have bases somewhere. Build a beacon and search for one if you find a planet you like. toiletbrush posted:If you fix *all* the slots it's often way more expensive than buying an equivalent ship outright, but if you're just starting out and fix slots as you go it's a good way to get a bunch of slots cheaper + quicker than shopping about for a new ship. Yeah I found a 29slot ship pretty early, and just repaired a handful to begin with. As I made more money I fixed up more. Now the last couple are still broken but I'm making enough cash not to bother, I've started looking for a new ship outright which has more slots. Probably going to bite the bullet and lose my fighter for a freighter with full slot capacity, dunno if I wanna be limited to 38. AirRaid fucked around with this message at 11:44 on Aug 22, 2017 |

Apollo's given me a mission saying that I won't be back for some time. Is this some point of no return stuff? I've competed most base quests apart from the last couple of farming ones, is there anything I absolutely should do before progressing?

Do your base missions till you have the exosuit glove at least , it will come in handy, and lots of supplies of iron, protein and so forth, you will be wasting a huge amount in a short time compared to the rest of the game Edit: Oh also make sure you do the Rover part of the base, as you will be doing a lot of running on foot with no ship Stevefin fucked around with this message at 12:26 on Aug 22, 2017 |

As of 1.33, will any of the Apollo base stuff bug out if I relocate after I've started? I've only hired one guy and am finding platinum for a science terminal so not very far in. He gave me a plain and bare planet for my base too, and there's a much nicer one nearby. I remember a lot of bugs related to base moving earlier, but maybe they're sorted now.

Oh yeah is there a recipe for dynamic resonators you can get? It's the only thing I regularly need that I still have to buy instead of craft.

The_Doctor posted:Does the game still do that thing where the cost of repairing a crashed ship is prohibitively expensive, to the point where just getting a new ship is cheaper? The cost of repair increases with each slot so it may depend on the number of slots you have to repair. I repaired about a dozen and the last one was something like 100k-200k. However, I can confirm that damaged slots count against your trade value now. I did a compare with some damaged slots, looked at the difference I'd have to pay, fixed a slot, then compared again, and the difference was less, but not by the full cost of the repair. Probably just the 30% trade penalty in effect.

Apollo also directed me towards an inhospitable planet, with acid rain. It has a decent amount of resources, you just have to micromanage your vitals when you go out to collect them. It's extra frustrating because I figured marking my own base would maybe break the quest, so I went with a location that the contact suggested. There's a cool Overgrown Planet in this system with tons of fauna and resources. I went there and built a few signal boosters but wasn't able to locate a base. It's stuff like this that frustrates me. Along with a weird bug of I turned the camera while in the cockpit and the camera was all wonked out.

Regarding that mission: this is not a point of no return, more a point of "it will be ~20-30 minutes before you can access your base". You have to do some flying about on a couple planets on the system, and then something cool happens that I will not spoil. Then you need to track down your ship on a planet again but once you find it you can get back to the system's space station and back to your base and off into the universe like usual. Beastie posted:Apollo also directed me towards an inhospitable planet, with acid rain. It has a decent amount of resources, you just have to micromanage your vitals when you go out to collect them. A bit late for you, I'm afraid, but for others at this spot: you are not locked into Apollo's choice for your base. You can tell his contact on the space station that you'll find your own base, and he'll shrug and say do whatever while still marking the base he chose for you on your system map. In my play through he wanted me to build my base on an absolute shithole with high toxicity, while that very same planet had a verdant moon with no hazards at all. I built my base on the moon and continued the story fine.

Yeah, before I went to his marked habitable base location I checked out my Overgrown Planet. I built two signal boosters but didn't find a location. So I had to go with Apollo's contact's.

The thing with ship ? markers being miles away might be because they always seem to have a landing pad. It might just be my good luck but every time I've followed one of those markers they've lead me to a trade depot or one of those outposts that has a landing pad and a market terminal.

The game has a scanner, I should be able to scan everything. I was in a space station chilling with the bros and I tried to scan all of the patrons and got nothing. It would add a lot to the game if there was flavour text on everything, because right now if I point my scanner at a korvax/gek/vykeen bro it's like they don't even exist. Being able to scan ships is a good direction.

I'm a few hours into the game and am worried I've hit a wall with the main story. I built a hyperdrive, but have only found enough fuel to jump one lightyear. The game wants me to jump to another system, but everything is too far away. Should I keep checking out the local planets until I find more antimatter and wait for more to be for sale, or am I missing something?

Also, even though it's not a hard recipe, they pretty much give you the basic components for warp cells /anti-matter in the crates near outpost save stations. I just wish you could sell warp cells, they have a monetary value

I read a few pages back about releasing the trigger for a moment to completely empty the heat meter on my mining laser, so that's made collecting stuff a lot easier. I've visited about 5 or 6 different space stations, and I went to the teleporter in my base, and it only gave me the option to teleport to 3 of them. Is there something I need to do to get the full list of the various systems I can beam to, or is it restricted to the last couple I've been to? I'm on PS4 if it makes a difference.
