~12 hours left until 1.0 is out, frens

So how big is the update gonna be?

>>716112420
A new sector (the housing one) and a bunch of early game additions and rebalancing, I think

>>716112420

>>716112294 (OP)
>have to loop the area like 10 times till you figure out what you need to open a door that lets you progress and repeat the same shit all over again
yea, this fucking sucked. i played with a buddy as well.

>>716115735
you may be directionally challenged, anon

this game good
>>716115735
i think you guys might be dumb

Been obsessed with this game since last week, glad I'll actually be able to beat the game on my first playthrough. Some Anon told me that theres gonna be a way to use military guns without needing the arm wraps so I've been stockpiling ammo for the Famas to use. Is the Sniper even worth using? I've only got a stack and a half of its ammo, and the Magbow oneshots the winter soldiers so idk if I even want to keep trying to get one.

Get on my level

what are they doing to soups

>>716117263
i think they're giving them all unique models/textures, not sure if there's more to it than that

uh... nh... hmmh

I got this with a friend, is it alright as a 2 player coop game or do you need more players to really enjoy it?

>>716118538
i think it's perfect with two peepo

>>716118878
good, hopefully the release isn't buggy

Have they fixed the absolutely dog shit server software yet? Or is it still some half-assed Windows trash fire?

Looking forward to it, I only played 14 hours because I wanted to wait for 1.0.

Is this game still friendslop or did they update it to actually be playable solo.

>>716112294 (OP)
I played the shit out of this like a year ago and got to the snow area and stopped
Do you think it's worth starting over for 1.0?

>>716121105
let's see how much they'll have changed the early game, but imo if you haven't played for a year it's probably worth starting over anyway

>>716120687
Always was playable solo, most of these type of games have good custom settings to increase material yields and make the gathering much less tedious for solo players. Combat is fine as is IMO, multiplayer you might wanna buff the enemies slightly

i have shitty short term memory/attention span/whatever so i hate making soup in this game

>>716123603
You have your recipes on your thinkpad thingy.

>>716123723
when i look at the journal i forget what's in my fridge and when i look in the fridge i forget the recipes

I regret not buying this for $20

>>716112294 (OP)
Is it a feature-complete 1.0 release or a we-need-more-money release?

>>716118538
i played it with 1 friend, we had a lot of fun

What does it add?

>>716115735
What being born after the iphone does to a motherfucker

>>716127226
Buying it early access gives you the supporter bonus back and all updates have been free so far. Any major updates past 1.0 is unknown but they already told us updates following the launch of 1.0 will be mostly hotfixes or patches or whatever.

>>716128075
>gives you the supporter bonus back
I don't support that shit.

>>716128182
Maybe don't ask questions with answers you know you can't handle, retard

>>716124049
Yeah the way they did soups is retarded.
Idk why they didnt do it like crafting in the bench.

i have 0 friends....

>>716113902
>story conclusion?
>?
what the fuck

>>716120687
The game is unironically better solo.

>>716128384
I'm asking if they're done with the game or if they're using a big "1.0!" as a cashgrab.

I'd only made it to the forge place before was I was waiting for this

>>716128608
Literally third post in the thread answers your question bro.

>>716128723
you meet a fun new friend after forge :)

>Abiotic Factor is a survival crafting experience for 1-6 players set in the depths of an underground research facility.

loool nah
friendslop extreme

>>716117531
STOP STALKING ME

I believe I uh need to defecate

>>716129256
Get the fuck out this thread then fag lips

>>716129256
It's better solo anyway. Feels like the multiplayer was tacked on.

>>716128504
it probably just implies some bonus side stories in the future or something

[...]

>>716129514
get outta here

>>716128543
This, the game is much better when played slow in solo. Unless you got another autistic friend who will sniff every corner together with you.

>>716129256
Unironically missing out on GOTY

>>716129697
...but enough about Nikita Buyanov's Magnum Opus: Escape From Tarkov!

THIS THREAD HAS MADE ME SOOOOO HAPY DSDHJKFSHJKfsDjkfds

if only the game wasn't so janky and ugly, the concept is really good

>>716130315
how is it janky

>>716112294 (OP)
is this one of those games that has the graphical fidelity of a game that came out in the late 90's but still requires a really good PC to play?
it looks good but my pc sucks

>>716130537
Yeah actually
They say they've worked on the performance since then but when I played, some areas were pretty laggy

>le survival crafting
It's all so tireso-
>world is hand-crafted and not a procedurally generated wilderness
It's crazy how this one simple trick fixes the entire genre.

>>716112294 (OP)
I thought the voice acting in this game was all supposed to be a placeholder for the real 1.0 voices. Does Australia not have recording studios or something? The voice sound quality is all over the place and some of the acting is very noticeably bad

>>716130742
It sounds like a lot of the voice actors recorded lines from their own rooms at home.

>>716130742
>>716130889
hey vinny tried his best alright?

>>716130647
gay

>>716130742
honestly im fine with it.
i'd rather have low quality voicelines from a group that tried their best than voicelines from an uninterested faggot thats asking 2k per line.

>>716129821
never heard of it, did you mean Escape From Duckov?
>>716130707
and the map design is one of its best features, the way new areas open and then wind back into central points as you unlock shortcuts is rather satisfying

does the water monster scp actually exist? i finished hydroplant and i only heard it make noises one time and never saw it

>>716131331
>>716130707
So much this, its gotten so bad that I can't even convince people to play this game easily because they see that danger word and assume the worst. They can't fathom even when I explain to them its more coop 3d metroidvania than anything else and that it has a full proper story with npcs and proper context goal for moving through the map and progression and they STILL somehow think it's just more of the same. These people are niggers and I hate them. This game is truly magnificent.

>>716131398
Yeah it does, its fucking spooky too.

>>716131398
it does but its very slow. Just knowing it existed had me clenching my asshole though, I fucking hate the dark underwater sections

>>716131629
I have extremely bad thasolophobia to the point where even jumping into the ocean in vrchat chat instantly makes my nuts shoot into my torso at high enough velocity to physically hurt. the only way I was able to get that under water material necessary for progressing was by getting the stuff near this one area where it can't really get you due to its size and even then I was shitting bricks.

>>716131613
>>716131629
wtf why didn't it attack me that's so lame

>>716131398
I spent hours grinding out 15 Fishing to ignore the DWB and it still made me shit my pants

>>716131784
it will, it can definitely kill you.

>>716131784
Its normally very slow, and it only attacks if you get real close to it
then it is no longer slow

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/cZKS5_9RJeM

Catch up with Abe & Janet while waiting if you haven't already.

>>716132164
the room behind them is comfy

>>716131398
>water monster scp
you've gotta be kidding me, I've already seen enough spooky assholes in this game I don't need that shit

>>716112294 (OP)
Is it going to become extremely pricey like Factorio when it hits 1.0?

>>716132408
you're gonna have to dive in the spooky water wether you like it or not

Darkwater Beast is at the bottom of Dusk Reactor too. Did it get flushed down there or are there two of them?

What's your favorite portal world so far?

>>716132748
well not that one

>>716132691
goddamnit, at least I'm playing in coop so I won't have to suffer alone

>>716112294 (OP)
>no matchmaking

>>716132748

>>716132968
>matchmaking
go play your overnite or whatver you kids do

>>716128504
>>716113902
I assume its going to end on a cliffhanger/sequel/update hook. I doubt we will wrap up every mystery in the game this patch, when the last few major updates keep adding new ones.
Maybe if its a good release they'll make a sequel based on Half Life 2 with a complete recreation of the source engine

>>716132968
>friendslop
you faggots will come up with any terms to avoid playing games

Hell yeah my group has been waiting for this. Finally we can finish the game.

>>716133160
i just hope they finally give us access to the curie containment block. its been there since the initial EA launch.

>>716132748
furniture store

>>716132748
Fog one is still the best. Most of the others are just killing order goons/exor in semi interesting enviroments, fog one was the only one where you had to play differently and the enemies were completely unique.

>>716130707
This is why i like conan exiles so much

I even like siptah when most people said it was shit. Loves finding snake temples in the Jungle

>>716133284
Is Curie block where the webbing is coming from? It seems like the whole curie block is infested with the webbing you can burn away with anti-thermite. I honestly wish it did open up too, I would love to see more containment cells for weird little anomalies and accidently release them into the rest of the facility

no one ever attacks my new base, sad

>>716132748
Flathill needs to be expanded a ton, the fog invasion also needs to happen more often in the overworld, not just a one time thing after a flathill visit

>>716133419
one of the most memorable moments for me so far was hiding inside a building and seeing one of those giant monsters just ducking and going through the door

the half life style is neat but the kitchen survival looks ugly

>>716133419
It's certainly cool and i love the design of the giants but gameplay wise its a pretty boring forced stealth section

I love coffee in my coffee hole

You guys arent real scientists unless you found the secret Flathill playrug

>>716133869
fog invasion happens to me every once in a while but i haven't seen the wendigo nigga in ages

>>716133776
could be worse, they could just spawn inside your base past all your defenses despite being covered in workbenches with the anti teleporter upgrade. My poor power services base.

>>716133160
fuck that thing and fuck her stupid riddles

>>716133920
Its fun going back with the rocket launcher late game, which one shots them

>>716133998
Yea I think they nerfed it massively, its a shame since I loved how nervewracking it was trying to get home from a supply run and the fog rolled it on earlier patches

>>716133918
I'm ambivalent on it, on one side you can unlock some neat qol stuff (like a bench that can get materials for crafting from all nearby chests) but on the other it all still feels pretty clunky and on base settings you need to drink and eat annoyingly often

>>716132748
Im always a sucker for snow levels, fuck rooks though

>>716134287
Looks like the new residence sector is gonna be heavily snowed in too, I think they are gonna release the "snowman" there thats been slowly escaping from the research wing

>>716134490
>thats been slowly escaping
wat. i never noticed that.

*deploys meaty stew*

>>716134068
Ok that changes things. I only got as far as the forge and decided to wait for 1.0 so the biggest gun i've seen is the rail shotgun you make after discovering rebar

>>716134565
I swear its ice cube has been melting every other patch

>>716134490
>stalker enemy #28
man

they should add more scps in the game

>>716132980
reminds me of Croatoa from city of heroes

I have a feeling story wise the planet is fucked and there's portals opening everywhere by the time we get to the surface

Does it plays like Half-Life?

>>716134490
Shadowhopper keeps moving about as well with each update

Does anyone know if that very very top island in the mycofields is accessible, like the one way high up with the lava pouring from it

>>716135806
that could be a fun one, even if they make it so it isnt even dangerous, but you occasionally spot it in the shadows

>33 bucks for friendslop
damn, gonna be a hard sell to my friends

>>716135932
Would be brilliant to involve it in the rolling blackouts or black fog they teased even if it's not the main threat of those events

>>716136250
you dont know what that buzzword means.

>>716136250
it's 15 bucks on cdkeyscom

>>716135932
personally i'd like a full containment breach mode where all the "elite" anomalies are lurking around and you have to make an effort to not get caught
>leyak
>that one composer now crawls through the halls, effectively a moving blockade. signified by localized fog
>shadowhopper lurks in places of extreme darkness, presence signified by the shade being darker than usual
>snowman roams when its cold, presence signified by temperature dropping to freezing levels.
>that thing in the bloodbath can actually leave its room. perforations can move the bath around
>reaper is now given full access to the facility.
>everything (that was originally contained) can be effectively contained with the right setup. for example you can trap the shadowhopper by isolating it in a small patch of darkness surrounded by light, or re-contain the bath by putting a ton of lodestone fragments in one room and locking the door
would make for a fun replay once you've learned the game and know how all the anomalies act and work.

Where did you build your bases bros? Need to find some comfy spots.

>friendslop
no thank you repo zoomers.

>>716137517
congratulations, this word has been said five times in this one thread in an attempt to insult the game.
and, just like the first time, its still wrong!

>>716137482
Last time my friend and I played we were set up in the room overlooking the glow worm cave area next to a tram station we hadn't unlocked yet. Nice view and pretty safe.

>>716132748
canaan is very comfy

>>716137832
Down the hall was the perfect place for my "relaxation room". My friend wouldn't let me set it up in the main room, for some reason.

>>716137832
looks very comfy

>>716137482
perosnally, the security room near the flathill portal is always the best launching spot and a good base to keep when raiding the area of resupply. You can also set up bases in the research wing near the automated turrets, such as the other security room there, and once you reset the turrets to help you, they will defend you from base attacks. The submarine depot is also an amazing place to set up a base as nothing can get down there and it gives you easy access to the hydroplant and powerplant

>>716137482
Tram station is my go to. It's on the smaller side but you get all 4 trams and raids get funneled through the small walkway tunnel.

>>716137648
I think its one guy with no life doing this

Do we know when it will be dropping?

>>716138196
>Do we know when it will be dropping?
I think most people will be dropping it after 2-3 days

>>716137482
I always fall into the trap of that little lobby just after the main hub

It sucks for raids, you have to travel all the way to the pool for water and there isn't that much space.

But it is my home

I think them adding le peaceful home worlds is a mistake. Half the fun of the game is carving out a safe comfy place in the dangerous facility. Why did they feel the need to slap the equivalent of a Minecraft creative world in the mix?

>>716137482
I based in the open area in Office next to the entrance to Labs, lots of space to work with and the high ceiling allows for some cool bridge/floor building, entrance to the new Home Worlds is right there too

>>716137482
honestly i just stuck to the cafeteria.
its close enough to everything else and has enough space for loot goblining everything you see.
>>716137961

>>716138196
10 am pst/ 6pm BST

>>716138409
Excellent relaxation room my guy. Cafeteria was our first base.

>>716138196
2 hours 55 minutes

>>716138343
IIRC they can still be raided

>>716138343
you could already do the same by just moving to the world in the mirror.

>>716138508
the best part about that room is that when you sleep, all the TVs are on the left side so one ear has the full force of [TV TIME] while the other is quiet.
its fun, if i invite any of my friends to my world they'd probably want to kill me for that.

>>716138293
its a story driven game.
people normally stop playing story driven games when they reach the end.
i know, i know its hard to understand but thats how the world works!

>>716138047

>>716137482
building next to the submarine in hydroplant (the ambient noises suck)

>>716138697
It's not for everyone. The best you hope for is that they respect the room, even if they don't understand.

>>716129821
>escape from slopkov

>>716138891

>>716118538
picked it up with a friend last month and had a lot of fun but we decided at a point to put it off and wait for 1.0 to restart
been looking forward to it

>>716139237
Never thought of stacking the storage boxes sideways

>>716139237
label your storage boxes PLEASE

>>716139404
I tried to do it a couple of updates ago by dropping them off of shelves but couldn't get it right. The patch that shrunk their placement collision was a god send.

>>716139532
I wish there was a toggle to place shit on a grid

>>716138196

i collect dog photos

Wow I'm so mad at myself right now I literally just started smashing my head into concrete and now my forehead is dripping with blood and huge flap of missing skin, thanks for reading my blog I'm gonna go punch concrete even more now until my knuckles are broken and this isn't a larp. GOD IM SO FUCKING MAD.

I HAD THE PERFECT FREE LAZYBOY CHAIR WITH A SMALL BUG THAT MADE SOMEONE THROW IT OUT, SPENT 6 HOURS MAKING AN EXPOXY MOLD FOR IT, GOT IT WORKING PERFECTLY AND THEN ACCIDENTALLY PRESSED A PEG IN WITH MY FINGER TOO HARD, PERMANENTLY INVERTING IT IN A WAY THAT I CANNOT FIX EVEN AFTER CUTTING INTO THE DANM THING WITH A KNIFE. I HAVE RUINED SOMETHING OBTAINABLE AND ACHIEVED FOR THE SOLE REASON OF HAHA IM A STUPID NIGGER WHO NEEDS TO PRESS BUTTON FOR NO BENEFIT OR REASON, WHY THE FUCK DID I DO THAT? HOLY SHIT I HATE MYSELF SO FUCKING MUCH IM SERIOUSLY HOPE MY HANDS FINALLY BREAK THIS TIME BECAUSE MY HANDS ARE COVERED IN SO MANY SCARS AT THIS POINT FROM PUNCHING FUCKING CONCRETE.

>>716139746
damn nigga

>>716132748
This one had a cool vibe but I honestly didn't like playing through it that much

>>716138343
>>716138568
though, that said.
i do think the homewords should be more connected with the facility than one fuckoff spot near the start.
for example put the entrance to tori in the offices, explain its presence as "employee relaxation during break hours"

>>716139485
It's a solo world so I know where everything is and between the pull from chest crafting and a Distribution Pad I don't need to. Here have a kitchen as recompense.

>>716139965
I wish my friends weren't so messy so that we too could have a base that doesn't look like a refugee camp

>First time going to Flathill

I can't wait for 1.0 bros.

Do you still got invaded with the portals?

>>716140315
the nothing, there's nothing out there in the middle of the fog

>>716140297
When I'm playing with friends I let them build for the most part. If I didn't we'd never progress because I'd be too busy lining up filing cabinets.

>>716135070
I think they are with this update aren't they?

>>716112294 (OP)
games mid I dropped it

>>716141476
you're mid I dropped you

>>716135925
I'm pretty sure I've gotten up there once before, there might be one plant up there for your trouble
I think I used the jump pad and the gravity cube

>>716141347
how many

>>716112294 (OP)
I dont play friend slop(formerly streamer bait)

How is the performance these days? I got the game when crush depth came out and then decided to wait for 1.0 to continue any further. I would have fps drops fairly randomly, surprisingly in relatively empty areas. Hopefully 1.0 has some improvements, I would expect better performance from a game that looks like goldsrc engine.

>>716141896
no idea. The update isn't out bud.

This is all we have to go off of. No way they spoil everything in the roadmap image.

>>716142014
And yet you're here, shitting up this thread with your autismal lack of friends

>>716142214
You sound upset, want a cookie?

>>716142191
well i'm glad it's more than one

>>716140814
Farming those bastards for their arnor was such a pain in the ass
However, wearing that armor plus the fog lantern trinket gives you a constant speed boost
Another trinket that gets slept on is the order trinket, it also boosts the drop rate of the order's guns (at least it did when I played it last back in October)
I was drowning in revolvers and sniper rifles

>>716140814
doggy

I still think the game looks neat, but I don't want a coopsloop survival crafting game. I played so much fucking Minecraft and Terraria back in the day that I'm pretty sure I've become allergic. Everything I've been suckered into buying by friends afterwards (Arc mainly) just haven't hooked me at all.

>>716142389
Are guns even good? I played a while back and they were kinda eh.

>>716142058
played coop 60 hours starting with the launch of dark energy to completion where the story ends, 4 players total - had no major issues but very late game there seemed to be some stuttering at times, possibly due to players going between zones or just having so much stuff built at that point, not really sure but it wasn't something that was there all the time, it came and went quickly and it was minor stutters, maybe also had to do with me being in NY, a player down in DC and another in Cali. Very playable. No dropped connections.
i run a 5950x / 7900xtx combo and was the lobby lead on 300/300 fiber

>>716142470
this one's different i swear. i hate arc/valheim/palword/whatever the heck but this one is handcrafted

Are you required to use guns later because enemies keep teleporting and doing a million damage later on and melee weapons just felt like dogshit

>>716142470
The one thing I like about it is that there is a story to work on. It's not just sit in a base and autism until you ask "what now?". You have active objectives to complete and building a base is to help you achieve those. Also there is something fresh about survival/crafting in an office.

>>716142563
Uh huh.

>>716142653
it's true!

>>716142606
melee weapons are great but later on there definitely are enemies that you should be shooting (you can craft cool ranged weapons though)

>>716142501
the game's getting a rebalance with the update so can't say for sure - guns were great except against some of the really heavier enemies and then you'd need to the next tier of weapons to compete without them feeling like bullet sponges
stuff like the laser made the game a cake-walk for the final sections since you could also carry around the way to charge it up
>>716142470
i hate most craft/survival games but AF at the very least doesn't feel super punishing when it comes to the survival aspect, yea you gotta eat/drink/sleep/poop to stay in good shape but that's all pretty easily managed once you clear the first area or two and learn what works and what doesn't
there's also perks in the current version that reduce the need for a lot of those things if you balance out your character traits well during creation
i went with the less sleep needed and less thirst and it was a really nice buff that saw me going much longer than my coop partners when they were around

>>716142501
I didn't like them much on my co-op playthrough, but on my single player one I ended up liking them a lot, though needing the special handwraps sucks
I think they're changing that this update though

>>716142297
agreed, I really enjoyed poking around and finding all the audio logs from dr. manse. They did a good job in capturing the feel of SCP before it became infested with looney troons

>>716130707
Same reason I enjoyed Grounded (god I hope the sequel is good)

Are they going to stop items from despawning? I played for hours only to load up the game the next day with all my items gone.

>>716142653
I think handcrafted survival games are way fucking better.

This and Grounded are probably my favourites in the genre. Looking forward to having this AND Grounded 2 to mess around in.

>>716143038
Grounded was so fucking good man. I also really appreciated the devs letting people host their saves on the cloud so ANYONE could host. Very underrated feature that I wish more devs did.

>>716142953
the military guns suck

>>716143079
Items shouldn't despawn, unless you were just leaving them out in the open in piles and not storing them in containers

>>716142470
It's actually a mostly linear game with an almost Metroid/Dark Souls-like interconnected world that happens to have crafting, base building and survival mechanics

>>716143150
>I also really appreciated the devs letting people host their saves on the cloud so ANYONE could host.

This was an absolute godsend, it meant anyone in my group could drop in and do some busywork or minor construction between play sessions.

>>716143079
i've never had anything despawn are you just dropping loose materials on the ground

>>716112294 (OP)
>no demo
reee i wanna see if my toaster can run it

>>716141089
kek, I know that feeling too well. We're playing Vrising lately and since I'm hosting I sometimes load up the save alone just to build and farm materials so everything is nice and tidy and when we're all together we can focus on the fighting. Bless my bros for sometimes indulging in my autism

>>716143193
That's exactly what I was doing. Most games item despawning will have a settings option to either turn it off or raise the timer. Since this one didn't I assumed items didn't despawn.

>>716143283
just refund it if it doesn't run?

>>716143360
Or in something like Valheim items in your base won't despawn but dropped items outside in the world will.

You have to admit that revolver ocelot's magnum is fun to use
But if you'vd never used it, I don't blame you, it's a pain in the ass to get and maintain

>>716143283
You can cope with a gt710 at 720p. I tried.
I doubt your gpu is any lower than that.

>>716143360
Ah, yeah, don't do that
If you play for a long enough session (especially with multiple people) the dropped item lag can get a bit ridiculous because it's a big map and you'll want to reset the game from time to time to clean it up

one of my wishlist items is being able to turn lodestone fragments into whole lodestones.
having to wait six in game days for one teleporter set fucking sucks.

>>716144475
Just walk ;)

>>716120687
Some parts might be a little more challenging solo but it's perfectly playable, and there are lots of settings you can adjust to make things less difficult or grindy.
The spooky element will definitely he stronger solo as well. It's not a particularly spooky game but it has it's moments.

>>716130537
It mimicks the 90s 3D style, but it uses modern lighting and such which requires a decent PC. It's not super demanding but you shouldn't be fooled into thinking it will run on a toaster because of the art atyle.

>>716143283
It runs a lot better if you disable global illumination in the ini file or whatever, but it will make the game rather dark.

40 minutes.

Promotion sale?

>>716149138
it's on gamepass

>>716149195
What the fuck I didn't know that but I bought it months ago

>>716134490
I hope not. The Leyak already fills that niche of a weeping angel type enemy and he gets to be more annoying that fun very quickly.

>>716149138

>>716137482
Tram is a bit small but it's the easiest to defend and most conveniently located.
However, they are supposed to be improving the way the game decides what is and isn't a player base, so you won't get raids spawning inside your base. That should make a lot of areas more viable as bases.

>>716149358
They really need to stop with the 'roaming SCP out to get you' thing. The Leyak is a good addition to the game IMO and it's introduced really well. OTOH the Security section and the nightmare thing are fucking awful and not really scary, if anything I found it to be a chore and there's no real reason to ever return to security once you're done unlike the rest of the sectors which have a thing or to you'll want to return for. A 3rd one that's just as tryhard scary as the Nightmare would be really lame, IMO.

>>716149895
the security sector scp is a bitch ass nigga

>>716149367
You know what, some of those are cheaper than they were during the Summer Sale, even coming from the (supposedly) more legit sites like CDKeys. I'll grab

I need a mod to disable the Leyak. A working one.

>nigger you can hear him
No, not always. I've been hit while travelling several times and had him spawn around a corner and my fucking heart can't take it anymore. Why does it even spawn in your own base where it should be safe to relax?

This is genuinely killing my desire to keep playing. I want it dead.

>>716150467
you can hear him every time i have really sensitive leyak senses. he's not annoying he's fun

>>716150467
Once you get to the hydroplant you can get a jar to trap him in if you feed it the eyeball fruits, but it requires jumping into a dark muddy lake with a huge fuckoff monster inside of it. The Leyak can also get you inside the water too

>>716150467
if you upgrade Kylie she has voicelines for when Leyak gets close, and theres always the containment unit

>>716150738
I will take this "Kylie" thing you speak of, as I don't always hear the Leyak. A simple warning when she spawns is the minimum I need.

>>716150726
i've never seen him in water

>>716150467
There is one or did the update break it?

leyak was only annoying when he went through floors/roofs/ground but they fixed it and now he respects level geometry

>>716149895
they need to have different niches.
reaper should be general area denial rather than a stalker
>actually roams around security instead of just popping in when you enter an area
>the reaper became such a nuisance that there are several monitors set up with tracking info for the reaper's location
>you can see the reaper's previous location, current, and 'predicted' next.
>the first time you enter security, he's set to that first area he spawns in currently, and stays there until you enter the anteverse portal.
>from then on, the reaper will cycle between regions every three ingame hours
>in exchange, getting seen by the reaper is much harder to escape.

>>716150467
your volume settings are wack

>>716150845
Same. Probably because swimming through water is quick and you have to be really wasting time somewhere for Leyak to catch up to you.

>>716150467
ontop of kylie and the containment box (picrel, if you have a proper setup maintenance is as easy as throwing in fuel when you return to your base to sleep) you can also craft a trinket that makes the leyak act as if you're looking at it whenever it can see you. probably wont help as much with sudden corner ganks though.

it's time

Can I solo play this amd have fun?

>>716150467
also just set up an x ray tower or whatever it was called in your base so you can idle there in peace

>>716151197
I wish this thing had double the eyeball capacity. I feel like it needs too much upkeep as is.

Update out. New Waif get.

>>716151224
its arguably more fun solo. the only exception is if you have someone that matches your schedule perfectly.

>>716151224
Yes, but you will probably want to turn down enemy health and/or weapon durability drain. You have to revisit your base too much as a solo player with default settings, in my personal opinion.

>>716151197
I've just reached the Containment Area, so I don't believe I'm anywhere close to getting any of the resources you're talking about.

>>716150467
https://www.nexusmods.com/abioticfactor/mods/25

>>716150467
They Leyak can't spawn within a certain distance of the player, but he ignores the workbenches. Thus, if you have a large base or leave your base, he may spawn inside the base.

He's a little challenging at first, but once you get a few x-ray towers and eventually the x-ray lamp he's very manageable. Once you get into Security you can make the sensory companion which makes him completely trivial, and when you get into Hydro you can contain him for good.

Base locations like the B-side tram make him much more manageable, as there is only one path in or out even for the Leyak.
Though you still must be careful about him potentially spawning inside the base when you are away.

>>716152137
yeah, but you either get it from smelting coins and crowns or the fish you catch
and the coins and crowns are technically finite, coins might respawn slowly

>>716112294 (OP)
Graphics look like shit, pass.

>Forgot I stopped playing last night because of one of the gay radiation storms
Fuck

>torii has tatami mats
>which need to be aligned PERFECTLY or else they look ugly as all hell.
>no placement grid lmao fuck you
also the 40% framerate drop due to the sheer amount of foliage even with it on low jesus christ.

So do you play as a monster or is this generic shit?

>guys please make my garbage videogame FOTM
nah fuck off
I'm never been less interested in a game. Been there, done that. It's shit.

>>716153147
Science is the monster, yes

BE ADVISED. I don't know if the default graphics settings are automatically adjusted based on your hardware but for me the game's anti-aliasing defaulted to epic quality and "TSR". However, switching to MSAA gave me around ~40 fps back. So if you're struggling with framerate... check the anti-aliasing setting.

>>716153162
>>716153147
its ok anons! you dont have to like every game you see a thread about (or even enter their threads)
you can simply go to threads for games you do like and be done with it.

I will NEVER forgive these devs for The Dead Linger, they even had the nerve to put an arcade machine of it in Abiotic Factor

they removed custom tags from teleporters
>now limited to 26 sets. should be more than enough, but still annoying.
>if you used teleporter tags to know which is which for organization your whole system's fucked lmao.

>>716152783
Just take the tram to manufacturing and vent it out

Looks like the upgrades you can get for the military guns to remove the locks also give the gun additional effects as well. Some of them look really cool.

>>716153147
You play as a generic employee on your first day of work in a secretive underground research facility akin to Black Mesa.
The story/setting takes major inspiration from Half-Life 1 and SCP, with a touch of 40K as well.
The gameplay is survival/crafting, similar to Valheim or Return to Moria, but it's first-person and the world is fully hand-crafted.

>>716151553
no

>>716154006
The old armbands were such a pain. Goodbye set bonus, just so you can rooty tooty shooty.

Is this some kind of le science heck yeah reddit bullshit?

Get on your knees

>hey is this friendslop playable solo?
>sure it is go ahead buy it
>its not
every fucking time
I need to stop falling for this shit

FUUUUUUUUUUCK they nerfed agriculture and put the extra harvest at the end of the fucking upgrade tree, my strat of relying on super tomatoes for food the whole game is dead

>>716155798
Which part isn't soloable?
I've played it solo for 10 hours now with zero issues.

So... what settings are recommended for solo play? Normal or hard?

>>716155798
you dont know what that buzzword means.

>>716155798
I've played solo for 50 hours and the only issue I've had was killing the Tarasque, you pretty much have to cheese it playing alone. Everything else is perfectly fine solo

>>716156137
I did normal because occasional base invasions get annoying on hard

https://youtu.be/cvOdt_cKk6M

So for killing the big robot guys that come out at night. Are you supposed to just set down a spinning blade and let them walk into twenty times and kill themselves? Melee and ranged did nothing even with like 6 shock traps. It feels dirty killing them because their pathfinding is retarded.

>>716156643
I just used shock traps and smacked them a bit when they were stunned. It took a little while but not that long, I don't know if they changed anything in the new update though.

Give me starter tips please

>>716156643
If you're set up in the cafeteria, how I killed my first few was I set up 3 tripwire mines (the ones that take a box of nails to fill) and put them near the top of the door frame above the dead guy, then I would aggro the bots and lure him into walking into them. After all 3 blow up on him, he should die within a few additional attacks.

>>716156643
>just set down a spinning blade and let them walk into twenty times and kill themselves
Or you could pre-emptively destroy them in their charging bays with the spinning blades during the day, they barely get out of the pod before dying, there is nothing they can do.

>>716156883
Have friends.

>>716157045
That's even worse

>>716156643
Floor 3 has an instant kill spot for the mech, I figured it was intentional

>>716156883
You can use tech scrap to extend wiring

>>716155798
You can adjust your world balance if you think it's off. Personally, I hate having to return to base after poking 3 things to death. Maybe that's more reasonable when you aren't the only person attacking.

Anyways, despite that I've soloed the whole thing to the last end of available content just fine with default settings.

>>716157141
What makes it even worse is the fact it's pretty much the intended way to deal with them at the start of the game, you're pretty much meant to cheese them since none of your actual offensive capabilities are too effective and these fuckers are a real threat to your base from night 1.
According to the wiki it should take like 7 crossbow bolts to destroy one if I'm reading it right, but I'm sure I wasted stacks of bolts on the guys back on my first playthrough.

>>716156883
You can reset the spoilage timer on food. Place the freshest ingredient of a type inside a container. Then stack your almost rotten food on top of it. It will inherit that fresh timer. You can then split the stack and do it again. This requires at least 1 fresh ingredient per type though.

The fuck, they're the guys behind The Dead Linger? Holy shit biggest redemption arc in the industry.

>>716156337

>>716144475
Looks like you got your wish. It takes a few extra ingredients though, like cement bags.

>>716157846
They have some glowing port on the back of them but I've never seen them die faster when we shot it.

>>716156883
Don't drop items unless you want them to despawn randomly. It's on the known issues list but its been there for months.

How's this run in Proton, just works or need any tweaking?

Redpill me on this if my friends and I are enjoying Valheim but almost finished it. Is the map static?

>>716158674
one of the biggest selling points is that the whole world is hand crafted from top to bottom. nothing procedural or randomly generated here

>>716156883
Learn how to make soup ASAP

>>716158417
yeah, easy to get since i have a teleporter to shadowgate, bunch of cement right outside.

>>716158474
I kept reading about them on the wiki, and apparently if you shoot them in the torso once their torso goes to 0hp, it starts damaging their head which also has to go to 0hp.
You're supposed to be hitting the camera they have in their upper body to kill them fast, still 180hp there and if you're whiffing some of your hits and attacking the torso, you're going to be fighting the thing for a good while.
I'll still just cheese them at the start of the game since 7 consistent hits on such a small, moving target with low aiming is a pain in the ass.

>>716150251
>more legit sites like CDKeys
LOL

>>716156883
it's HL levels of jank, so just side step enemies attack or backstep, especially on the big robot
guns are usually worse than the crafted weapons, ammo economy is shit
the in game map sucks ass, rely on muscle memory or make signs that point you where to go. The game is metroidvania in map design in that there's a shit ton of shortcuts that you unlock
you can edit sandbox settings, i turned up skill XP gain rate, stack size and reduce hunger rate and spoilage rate

>repair station is like 1/2, maybe 1/3rd of its former size
Neat. Should help keep bases more compact. Especially since it's an essential.

>>716157957
These are always the most unfunny shit.

>>716159154
It's not trying to be funny?

>>716159154
Nerds aren't funny, so it's appropriate.

So how do you modify sandbox settings for solo play, what do you change

>>716151553
No

>>716156883
slushie bombs are OP as fuck, theyre cheap to make ($1 from slushie machine) to get 3 and they freeze pretty much every enemy for 3s
hoard pens when you see them, they can be used to make crossbow bolts which is your main range weapon for a lot of the 1st hafl

>>716156883
shields are great for tanking enemy attacks, the only downside is each hit drains your stamina
stealth is a bitch to train but if you level it enough you can deal double damage on sneak attacks, which lets you one-hit kill enemies
some weapons can be double-handed and then charged attack, which combined with above can OHKO enemies
but otherwise two handed heavy weapons are a meme and actually lower DPS , at least in older patches

>>716158315
That was really obviously him, unlike yhe guy he voices in the Hydro area

The old one is definitely leagues better, was probably too reminiscent of hl1 though

has anyone found the other two yeyaks yet?

>>716122457
solo annoyed the fuck out of me because of constant respawning enemies even after you had cleared an area. ruined the entire game until you got the teleoprter but traversal was still annoying because when i played the carts were bugged and couldnt be ridden

is traversal less a pain in the ass now?

Does painfully obvious do anything if you are solo?

>>716131552
>>(((so much this)))

>>716158846
You can also easily trade metal scrap for them way back at the Blacksmith in manufacturing.

Don't tell me I have to restart, the hydroplant area is miserable.

so much this, i cant believe these shills would come to our board for porn, nintendo, and politics.

Not really no, thats why I kept using bionic legs for faster running despite it being outclassed later

you don't have to

>>716161432
I'm gonna restart because my autism compels me to. I'm also currently at hydroplant

Sooo which settings do you go for on Solo play?

>>716152228
its just an annoying mechanic. Not challenging, just monotonous and breaks the flow of exploration

What's the point of the recipe unlock "minigame"? Where you have to select the correct items out of a half a dozen to unlock the recipe?

>>716129256
Play it alone then, faggot. I did that too and enjoyed it.

>>716161835
Default if you want to tough it out. But having played it all already, I wouldn't fault you for turning down weapon decay by 25%. If that still feels like too much weapon repair, consider turning weapon decay down by 50%. It's just more busywork and more collecting parts to fix your shit.

>>716132748
The Exor Village was pretty rad.

>>716162693
i dunno man

>>716162693
Nothing.
It would have been better if you could use different materials to unlock variations of a certain item. But that would be more work than they can care to handle.

>>716162693
it's gameplay for the sake of gameplay, i disabled it

>>716162693
So you can feel like you're a scientist "inventing" them. Usually they follow some kind of logic, so if you can piece together what components would go into a device, there'll be less guesswork. Of course that gets thrown out the window when dealing with 100% fictional technology.

>>716161835

less durability loss, more damage from enemies, but also less enemy hp, some small multipliers to loot, and some decent multipliers to XP

>>716138409
Same. It makes sense to set up in the cafeteria, and I struggle to convince myself that moving the entire base or starting a new one is remotely worthwhile despite coming across a ton of potentially very cool base locations.

>>716162693
The only thing less fun than the fishing minigame. If they didn't add my suggestion to auto-place objects when you click it instead of dragging, then it's still shit instead of slightly less shit.

Kek ok I'm gonna disable that. Yeah I thought there must be a system where depending on your picks you create a sort of custom recipe but clearly that's not the case.

you guys didn't make new bases when you unlocked new areas?

>>716163553
I made forward operating bases and connected them with an autistic series of personal teleporters until i got the TP pads.

>>716161432
i'm also at hydroplant and there's no way i'm starting over lol i've crafted so much stuff

>>716163397
It's not that hard to bring up the list in your journal. If there's a couple soups you make more than others, you can also make a dry erase board and write the recipe on it (but I'm really unsatisfied with the amount of text they limit you to)

>>716112294 (OP)
i got this game like ysterdfay because i liked the HUD
ihave no ide a what it is about
what am i un riuonically iin for?

I hope you are all wearing your fanny packs!

>>716163553
Don’t really need to, the game hands out shortcuts like candy. Probably the most satisfying, dopamine-spiking shortcut unlocking in vidya games.
Having said that I think I’d like to force myself to create more small zone based to more easily collect some shit and stack it instead of constantly hoarding things back at the main base, which last time for me was the security booth in the main office plaza.

>>716163978
No I always go for first aid, agriculture and cooking despite being the two easiest skills to raise

>>716163881

>>716164273
It is at first, but once you’ve upgraded your nav kit and unlock the side caves or upper maintenance shafts, you start skipping like 70% of the tram runs. That said, I do still take it sometimes just for the ambient music and that weird NPC who mumbles to himself the whole ride. Feels like a liminal space between panic and peace.

Just started playing and my inventory is already full of shit. Is there any way to tweak stack sizes and should I ? Inventory clutter is the thing I hate the most about survival games.

>>716112294 (OP)

>What if half life 1 was actually a survival crafter
it's surprisingly fun, they enough of an effort into the world so that it feels unique

>>716128075
Saw your comment right after it released now. Whats the difference between having brought it in early access vs. the supporter pack on the store?

>>716165174
put it in a cupboard/filing cabinet/chest

>>716165174
Yes, when you select your game/server there's a sandbox setting sub menu that lets you tweak almost everything

>>716165365
>those adjustments
You didn't beat the game.

>>716165329
to add early game filing cabinets are your main source of storage, the game has like 100 different items so you'll eventually run out of inventory space. You'll progressively find/make bigger inventories, but inventory management and selective looting is part of the gameplay
knowing what's valuable and what you need/will need is a big factor, pens are important at the start for example since you can turn them into ammo whilst magazines are used for early game armor

>>716164252
>>716164295
>>716165247
sounds fucking bonza
wheres the trick? ois the map big or small? rwg?

>>716165656
Map is too big if anything

>>716165656
the trick is that it was early access and the humour is more zoomer/geeky, also partial SCP clone
the map is fucking huge, some sections like hydroplant suck though and the ingame map fucking sucks ass so you have to rely on memory
the map is handcrafted though so a lot of places later on have a shortcut back to the main hub, either directly or through the tram system

>>716154098
Appreciate the concise summary, definitely not noteworthy.

>>716165817
also some characters are voiced by youtubers

>>716165909

>>716165909
I hope Markiplier is voicing someone...

>>716166018
This guy didn't ring any bells?

>>716165264
Early access buyers get the supporter pack for free. I bought mine back when they did a test play for free and I checked my game and they're there.

Alright you fucking shills what do I do. Am I going to find some sort of place to store shit soon? Even with the small backpack I have no room for antyhing.

>>716166729
Ah. So it's the same content. Just free for early access if I get you?

>>716166847
Yeah make a base

>>716166705
no sorry

>>716166860
Yeah that's basically it

>>716166847
the starting area has a stove, cupboards, bathroom, sofa, etc etc

>>716166847
it's a survival crafter, you make a base somewhere, ideally with power sockets and defensible or central
you can hold F to break down furniture, although you'll break a bunch at the start due to low construction level
that desk can be used as storage for example (although not much). Filing cabinets have better space-to-size ratios
I built my base in the area next to the canteen and im still using it 100 hours later

>>716166847
start crafting

>>716124049
uh, sounds like good practice. maybe you should try memorizing the stuff in your fridge if it is important. you might want to play some memory games like the animal noises wheel or bopit at toysrus

Abiotic devs are on an another level too. They wrapped up their early-access in just a bit over a year. Meanwhile Valheim is still in EA 4 years later...

>>716168047
I regret buying valheim but at least it was on sale, I see vastly more potential in abiotic and usually I'm not into sci-fi as I prefer fantasy

;_;7

>>716168025
What is your availability

>>716168421
nothing a pair of bionic legs cant fix

>>716168574
Most days I'm 7-4 pacific for my job, gaming is my only hobby so after 4 pm I'm available

>>716120687
I beat it up to the preatoreum solo. It had a couple bullet spongey enemies. 2 boss fights, and the black armor dudes could be a challenge, but keep in mind this is before 1.0, were they are adding in an upgrade system for weapons, so it will probably be way easier now playing solo.

>>716138409
The Zpmbie mall is perfect if you build a ladder up to the second floor. Provided you don't press any big red buttons it's a whole department store to do what ya want with with no enemies or Lyekks capable of spawning.

>>716168307
Valheim has a great building system that was part of the initial appeal, but the devs have no idea how to balance their game progression besides putting a gigantic wall of damage numbers in your way and expecting you to grind 500 hours for mats to overcome that hurdle, then do it again. That's their entire gameplay loop no matter how far you get into the game.

Abiotic challenges you in different ways besides resource grinding, and it can afford to do that since they designed their world and know what resources are there to use. Sometimes it's building a thing (which you can use for your other equipment), sometimes it's getting to a particular area (with multiple ways to access said area), it's refreshingly open ended at times and you can get away with a lot if you craft stuff that isn't "required", like jump boosts and jet packs.

>>716168648
Ah sad am french so it would be 1am

>>716140537
There's a relatively early upgrade you can get to disable them.

>>716169003
No problem frogbro, I wish you luck in finding jolly cooperators
Good games with good friends always seem to be good times

>>716150467

>>716168951
I heard in valheim you'd have to go back to low level areas often to gather low level materials, unless I'm thinking of vintage story, but the only 2 survival games ive been excited for is palworld because it's just pokemon and abiotic factor, I didnt get very far in abiotic yet saw the massive potential when compared to valheim and others

>>716153784
How do you know they are behind Dead Linger ? I can't find anything about that.

>>716169187
Mine mostly liked valheim and vanilla barotrauma sadly

>>716163217
>MORE damage from enemies
???

>>716169507
They lack vision, it's sad to see games go unnoticed because the masses overall lack vision, for God's sake swordai only had a few hundred players this last playtest but this solo dev is outdoing the entire ironmace team

AHHH THEY ADED A NEW BLUE LEYAK IN THE RESIDENCE SECTOR ALERT ALERT ALERT

What job do you guys prefer to pick at the start

>>716170071
The intern. I am a simple weedbrain, weighing pros and cons? Sorry my brain is off. Might try the humble farmer as ive done my share of farming irl

>>716169415
Geoff Keene, the design director (also the CEO considering the contact email on their webpage is Geoff "Zag" Keenes email) of Deep Field Games was the CEO of Sandswept Studios, the studio behind The Dead Linger, Jenny Pina their technical artist was Sandswepts community manager and I am sure there are others from Sandswept working in Deep Field Games as well, like Geoffs brothers who were also a part of Sandswept.
Them having arcade machines for all Sandswept games in Abiotic Factor is a dead giveaway as well, there are some for The Dead Linger, Detour and Unfortunate Spacemen.

>>716169402
Ore is a great example of the Valheim tedium. Everything costs 10 or so processed bars and it takes so much to process one bar. From the very beginning copper is a huge endeavor, but part of the fun was mining out a whole node with the group and having everyone do their share to carry it back home with how heavy it was. But now you have to exponentially mine more for every person in the group if you want to outfit them properly. The effort to secure the ore should have been the ordeal itself, but they compound it with the ridiculous crafting requirements.
Iron is the big metal that's a pain in the ass, and the only way they could figure out how to make it "unique" from mining copper was to put it in one of the most miserable biomes in the game, a swamp that completely hinders your movement while exploring and makes hauling even more excrutiating, especially with the dangerous mobs you cant deal with UNTIL you secure and process said iron, and again, you'll need 10x as much of it for every person in your group.

As I said before, Valheim has road blocks. Abiotic has progression paths. It is a fundamental difference in design that makes all the difference to the crafting core.

>>716170071
Melee is pretty good, but the idea of a swole scientist is funny

>>716170284
The power of autism, some may laugh but I find it respectable, if only my power was at a level to know things like this. I do have a habit of reading flavor text, I can't control it it's just a reflex

>>716170071
Intern with my fanny pack

>>716170284
Quite a big turnaround considering The Dead Linger is still one of the biggest kickstarter and early access duds to have graced this planet. I think they didn't even offer refund for that shit, and I remember they pretty much wanted to make 3D Project Zomboid.

>>716170071

>>716169661
I'll check this swordai thing. I wish I find one day a group for modded baro it can be chaos

I've been killed by the thing a couple times and I've not even seen it once

>>716165909
>tranny giovanni is the scientist voice
Refunded, devs are woke discord bootlickers

>>716170071
kintetic scientist is sleeper OP, people underestimate the power of gernades and it's nice to have early access to bench upgrades.

>>716170893
Haven't played that one myself but barony is dope and gets updated still, also has some neat mods

>>716171246
I hate barony. I tried and got repulsed by it. I can see the appeal for people but not for me

>>716171296
Ah, yep it's certainly one of those love it or hate it games

>>716170662
No refunds, wouldn't have the game in my library if they did offer them, they said they'll "get around to making the game someday after a couple of smaller projects, maybe, probably" and completely dropped it once they thought everyone had forgotten about it.
The game was for sure way too ambitious, they started off with their own engine, then switched to unity and to unreal after that, they had a lot of good ideas but there is a reason ideas guys with little to no technical background usually make for horrible project leads.
It was one of, if not the first steam greenlight/early access scams, quite the feat in on itself and completely understandable why they would want to distance themselves from that as much as they can, but I personally can't let the thing go.
>>716170478
All of that information is rather easily available, but there has been a rather considerable amount of autism contributing towards this deep rooter skepticism and hatred towards anything these people create, and that has in turn contributed towards looking and memorizing this stuff up.

The one that boosts crafting XP because the crafting bench upgrades are tops and grinding it is a PITA

>>716156643
Easiest way early on is to set up a chopinator and then put 2 or 3 shock traps under the blades. It'll try to attack the chopinator and get stunned while the spinning blades damage it. You'll have to repair the chopinator regularly but generally it should take out 1 robot from full hp before breaking.
Make sure the chopinator has adequate batteries attached so it can last through the night.

>>716171057
If you max your fishing level it will become non-hostile.

>>716172225
>max
they increased the max level to 20 now, although fishing doesnt have any new skills
i specifically went out of my way to grind fishing levels for that single perk though, fuck the lake

>>716132691
Not if you have the cube and a jetpack!
Though, you'll want to make sure the snipers are dead first.

>>716115735
if only there were actual, literal signs in every area.

Playing solo mode is there any way to get the game to actually pause while paused?

>>716172159
just have 2 chopinators next to each other in a way where it's forced to go inbetween them whenever it leaves the charger so the robot is constantly stunlocked.
good for 2 kills and uses less power and resources.

>>716132408
it's really not that bad

>>716172869
Tick the single-player checkbox.

>>716166705
I know like 3 tubers, and they wouldn't get recruited for any game. No idea who this was.

>vague reference to the Exor Cha being nerfed in the patch notes
I hope this means they toned down its teleporting horseshit. There was pretty much no delay between it teleporting behind you and stabbing you in the anus.

>>716172869
select single player only, if you host it as a server then escape won't pause the game

>>716173102
i just came back from it since i needed more of the mineral, they're still a teleporting asshole but i think they nerfed the charge speed and made them teleport further out

Are raids still a joke?
Is the difficulty leap from Office to Manufacturing still kind of huge (that's not a complaint, that's a hope).
Last I played, I stopped right around security wing pretty much just after unlocking the shortcut to the office plaza.

>>716172905
>>716172159
Just use the first tripwire trap you get and you only need to hit it like twice

>>716131095
i laughed out loud when we got here and as soon as vinny started talking my friend went
>BOOTI PLEASE
i noticed it was him almost right away, but like 3 words in my friend knew.

>TFW abandoned game and want to start completely fresh
I was like, right after the second portal where you're in the alien coral whatever zone and the offices where you start killing robits for their super CPUs but I've completely forgotten most shit, should I just start over?

afaik they changed the base detection so raids don't spawn inside your base as easily

raid difficulty tends to spike at certain stages when new types are unlocked
like the shock pest raids can be pretty lethal, especially if your defense is still relying on tesla coils which they are immune to

how bad is apocalyptic solo?

>>716173908
God damn I hate people who are both attractive and intelligent. You should be one or the other. People like this are why I'm dumb and ugly.

>>716174019
early game is ass because everything is so spongy, but other than that hard and apocalyptic are kinda designed for solo play rather than multiplayer considering normal is the only one that scales with player count

>>716151469
Oh, they made soup expire now?
Kinda lame, but food kinda stops being a challenge at all once you can make soup.

fuck teleporters

>>716174139
The early game is essential to demonstrate how much of a master you've become. Going from fear of 1 headcrab to sniping the iron giants and hand to hand handling the grim reaper is kino

>>716171191
he also delivers the worst
>STOP
you've ever heard in your life. like everyone that imitates the half-scientist does it better.

>>716174406
How much could Gabe really charge to just reuse the half life sounds?

Starting a new character, how viable is throwing as a main damage option? Did they add more throwing weapons? I remember them being pretty scarce before.

How is this different from any other survival building game?

>>716174529
still pretty ass, you can throw crossbow darts now though but there's a real lack of good throwing weapons besides the nades

>>716174514
that wouldn't really work considering there are no voice lines for any of the status effects, hopefully someone will make a mod for authentic hl1 voices though, add in the missing voice lines with AI if nothing else

>find semi secret room with "brain" in jar

I wonder if there is a secret ending with her, I just found a new schematic to upgrade her casing too

>>716158674
The layout is. Most places that people aren't currently in get reset every few in-game days to prevent you running out of items.

Harry Robbins is still alive though.....

>>716171191
>hiring someone for a job means you agree with their every thought and opinion on everything ever past future and present
Nice to see the sjws haven't lost their jobs being the most obnoxious cunts in the universe, no matter which side of the political autism spectrum you lie on.

>>716174932
sure, I guess they could ask him to voice for a voice pack and sell it as dlc, would probably be one of the few dlcs I actually bought

are throwing weapons any good or are they just a meme and i should level shooting

>>716175135
shooting and melee are much better.

>>716175135
Throwing is good early game when you're a scared bitch, once you start getting armor and a base, guns and melee are the biz

>>716175135
they're satisfying but pretty bad, there's no
>here's a stack of javelins that take up 1 slot
type of throwing weapon, so if you use a spear each one takes a slot and you have to pick it up
they also fucked up by not letting you make shurikens
throwing at the start is basically limited to nades

>>716172225
you can just whip out your xray lamp and the big boy wll never go near you

>>716134189
Soup solves this issue, just make the coffee pot.

dropped

Damn, stealthing to some monster's back to stab it doesn't give you any extra damage?

>>716175889
it's skill-linked, stealth isn't an automatic damage bonus until you reach the required level. at level 15 stealth attacks do double damage
also top headshots do extra damage so try swinging a melee on their head or whatever to stack headshot+stealth bonus

>>716176061
Do the stupid hedgehogs even have a head zone btw

>>716176126
yeah, you notice it with crossbows where headshots are OHKO but body shots aren't

>>716175392
There are throwing knives now.
https://abioticfactor.wiki.gg/wiki/Throwing_Dart

>>716175889
>>716176061
stealth is very powerful when you get it (and your weapon skill) leveled up and pair it with a heavy 2-hand weapon, especially if you and a buddy synchronize stealth attacks
add the crystal armor set and you're basically unstoppable

nearly killed this little guy

How do you get friends?

>>716176323
just tested it on the slightly more powerful alien and it took quite 6 headshots to kill
probably works okay at the start though, hedgehogs were OHKO on head as usual and they seem to have fixed the item tracking so that more than 3 items persist so you can actually recover all the darts you throw now

>>716176487
I do not like this fleshbot, it's smug aura mocks me

>>716169670

>starting base in a small office room

>>716176565
the throwables also scale heavily with leveling up so if you level up throw more they do a shitload more damage

>>716177304
this was with level 17 throwing
