Office sector... home...

How do I tell how far the reach radius of my crafting bench's item pool is? Moved all my shit over to the security office and now I'm organizing stuff.

>>716255556
you know the stairs on the right where the window is? the radius is around from the railing to the door leading to the locker room

geg, get contained you fucking fleshnigger

>>716255556
three wide crates.

>>716257226
thats no way to treat your girlfriend anon

Haha.. Yeah, nah, fuck that, I'm done with the game.

>>716258369
dont worry anon, there's a way to recontain it.

>>716258428
Yeah and I'll probably have to encounter the fucker like a hundred times before I'm at that point.

>>716258541
ok thats fair but you just look at it for a few seconds and it goes away.

>>716258792
But it kept following me for like a minute and I had constant direct eye contact with it?
Unless it not disappearing only happens in a specific area or during the first time you encounter it.

>>716258980
It's a gay mechanic and the combat is janky shit. The gane is fun for about 5 hrs on a pirate. Just move on it just gets worse the further in you go.

>>716258980
did you maintain eye contact? pretty sure the timer resets if it breaks for any reason.

>>716259692
I did, seems like it doesn't disappear once it's aggroed to you..
Very nice that they decided to add an enemy that can phase through walls and you have no counters for at the point you encounter it, peak game design.

>>716260336
im pretty sure the first thing you're supposed to make after getting the leyak essence drop is the xray gun specifically to counter it.

>>716258369
Set a timer for 15 minutes every time you banish it

>>716260880
You have to progress to at least Hemholtz to get thr xray gun, iirc

I am once again asking if anyone knows what the buttons and keypad access in the Torii World do and how to use them.

>>716261487
its still a secret.
im in the pisscord and they havent figured it out yet.
it is fun though, watching them bang against it all like a bunch of monkeys.
there's a hidden button, using that activates the keypad which will then let you activate the four light buttons, then the donation box starts taking some items as donations.
nothing past that yet.

>>716254430 (OP)
Where is the best place to talk about this game and post my art for it, xitter?

>>716261960
are you drawing filthy janet art, abe?

>>716261226

>>716262047
Uh… actually >>716262052 is my art. Not expecting to see it reposted here kek

>>716261889
Where's the hidden button?

>>716262243
dunno unfortunately.

>>716260336
Just wait until you meet the guy in security

>>716262479
I will not be meeting the guy in security since as per my first post, I'm dropping the game because of this bullshit.

>>716261487
Someone glitched into the secret room that it's attached to on accident

>>716262658
Fair enough
while it is janky, the Leyak is pretty easy to counter. it is really fucking annoying having to stop what you're doing and stare at it every now and then though so I can't blame you

There any mods for more character customization? I figured there would be a lot because with the artstyle it shouldn't be difficult to model.

>>716261889

Kinda debating on starting a solo file for now.

I can't decide if I want to build a new base somewhere or not. Just got to manufacturing and usually build a newer base inside the forklift garage beside the forge (because it's right beside the portal you unlock to the labs), but this time I want to do something different. What are some better build locations that have future proofing to them?

>>716263471
honestly i never really go there, i only check if there's something thats not clear in the wiki.
but i'd say no. the channel structure is atrocious, you're expected to keep conversation relevant to a region in that region's channel.

My friends are being niggerfaggots and I don't feel like waiting for them so I'm just going to play solo. What settings should I tweak?

i fucking hate ui of this game. Ugly shit and convoluted

>>716263808
Turn off food decay, make your items more durable and add unlimited item and building stacking. Simple QOL changes without changing difficulty.

>>716263669
I like to build in new places every run. The last time I played I built just inside where you enter manufacturing for the first time. Down the bottom of the big lift to the left.

Then I moved next to the aquarium in cascade labs where the tram is.

>>716254430 (OP)
I feel so overwhelmed with how much has probably come out since I las tplayed. The las tthing I did was >>716258369
encounter this motherfucker.

>>716254430 (OP)
Did they implement any variety of procedural-generation/randomization, or is the game still a completely static unchanging exercise in rote memorization of resources and plot items?

>>716262115
I'm dragging you to play abiotic from the start again with me, anon

>>716264208
you act like a hand crafted world is a bad thing.

Abiotic Factor is actually GOTY
the design is really tight especially in the earlier areas

>>716265009
unfortunately it is an indie so it wont even be considered for any chart.
game of the year - because popularity is the only thing that matters

>>716265009
I wish snipers in hydro had like a three day period ingame before they respawned

>>716265329
They were in early access for a long time before release and that always hurts your actual release impact. At least the fucker made it to release.
But the game hits the boxes for all different playstyles from cozy autism zone to efficiency autism to stealth game to mystery... it keeps going. This thing is impressive. The developer seems to be doing well

>>716265506
you can craft spawn blockers... once you get to the reactors

>>716263906
That sounds extreme. Can I tweak that stuff mid game and try vanilla first?

>>716265650
I love a good survival crafter and I think AF has been my favorite one since Palworld, I think what I like about AF in particular over most is it reminds me a lot of Arkane's prey where instead of just having a big open world you have the really structured facility and problem solving to progress. The HL1 aesthetic is a plus and it's putting me in the mood to replay it and some of my old favorite HL1 mods when I'm done for nostalgia's sake.

>>716264894
Thanks for answering the question.

>>716255556
Does it not coincide with the "You are in a relatively safe place" radius?

>>716266054
Yeah, for the most part you can adjust sandbox settings accordingly post world creation

>>716266310
imma be real with you anon
>this game where one of the biggest selling points is that the world is carefully handcrafted? yeah i want it to have procedural generation
has to be the most retarded thing i've seen in a while. you do not deserve a proper answer.

>>716265650
>They were in early access for a long time before release
I wouldn't call a year of EA a long time at all, considering that most games linger in EA for 3-6 years and plenty even longer than that.

What's the point in keeping an aquarium? Fish don't breed, right?

>>716266779
they've also had a clear vision the whole time (unlike most EAs)
even in the inital release, there were areas set aside for future regions, like the residence tram or shortcut from the cafeteria to reactors.

>>716266779
Early Access is a trap.
>game is in early access! it must be in active development
>game is out of early access? must be finished!
The longer your game is available for purchase, the more people interested in it will buy it. Eventually the buzz of any launch won't draw in any more customers especially if it comes with a price hike or an expectation of fewer updates. So devs often just keep it in early access which means
>early access Day Z clones taken offline permanently
>after 3 years of early access a game is being bundled on sale with another early access game from the same developer

>>716266542
I could see that for a game such as Half-Life 1, but once you bring crafting and survivalism into the mix, it should be more about resourcefulness (locating resources, adapting, utilize senses with intuition) rather than just memorizing where things are and how to exploit their respawns. Really it's less about "muh procedural" and more that for a game as interesting and unique as this, it's truly unfortunate that it's really only good for one play through. I own AF, I'm playing it, and its disheartening to think that after this there will be no more surprises. But hey : maybe AF2?

>>716267201
Early Access is also a trap in the sense that first impressions are everything, I've seen plenty of games that release into Early Access in a very shabby state and even if it's adressed in a fast manner, most people won't be coming back and word of mouth regarding the earlier state of the game will mean diminished sales as well.

>>716267030
Just decoration

>>716267231
You'll need around 60hrs to go through the main game with no detours and you need to keep pushing forward when your resources get obsoleted by new stuff.
Its plenty of game for its price point, not everything should need multiple playthroughs to experience when you can U-turn and do it again.

>>716267690
I rather wish it was an alternative to fishing. More methods of food production are welcome.

>>716267030
>>716267690
fish in aquariums also don't spoil

>>716267572
If a developer has been working hard and just needs a bit of funding and feedback to push out the last few months before a launch then yeah sure early access can do it.
Fucking rough though

Should I start over?

>>716267870
if you want to, i didnt bother though as they tweaked progression in the game but it's not a massive overhaul
plus fuck grinding for mats again

Yeah so I uh just finished the short jaunt after finding the first portal? Get a message when heading back to my comfy breakroom base that "the air is thicker, be on your guard tonight", think okay maybe I need to build traps, they'll be coming at my doors... then this shit pops up inside my breakroom base. Am I in trouble?

>>716268110
consequences will never be the same

>>716268110
I don't know if they changed it for release but raids are super underwhelming and basically a non-issue.

>>716268153
>>716268150
Uhhhh. This is getting out of hand. Now there's two of them. Please send help.

>black oil only has a 10% chance of dropping during butchering inkfish
>I need 4
You are KILLING ME, game.

>>716268242
the flamethrower guys drop them too

>>716268242
you can also get them by killing the tanky ass flamethrower rats.

>>716268216

>>716268334
>>716268358
Good to know, the wiki neglected to mention that. They really should up the drop rate on those fish though.

when you're researching something and it fails, does that mean i got the combination wrong or is it like a % chance failure and the recipe is different for everyone?

>>716268479
it means you got the combination wrong.
you can just click to put an item in a slot.

>>716268242
It's a great way to level up your fishing, crafting, and cooking all at once
Set up a little base there so you can just catch the fish, clean the fish, cook the fish, and then scrap it into bio scrap (or eat it I guess)

>>716268441
Okay... it's almost power-out time and nothing has happened... should I just

>>716268634
:)

how's the goypass version?

Is this game good for 3 player coop? What does it compare too?
From what I've seen it's like grounded, and I hated grounded.
[Spoiler]And is it available for try before you buy? [/Spoiler]

>>716268153
I think raid for inducing the panic on early-to-mid phase. Late game is zero issue. This is on default setting.

>>716269307
I don't know why it would be different, but I'd always play the PC version of an FPS game given the chance.

How do I acquire friends?

>thanks to the patch downgrading all my soups, I now have 8 pest goulashes to eat my way through
I had such a nice spread of options

>>716269371
ctrl+s my man
What didn't you like about grounded?

Thankfully they became more merciful on item stacks for a few things by default. Soda cans are no longer 4 per stack. Man, that was kind of shitty.

>>716258369
make an xray gun

>>716270016
I'm on mobile at work right now, doing things I shouldn't be.
I didn't like grounded because you needed to get multiple of everything for every player. And there was no point in character building anything other than ranged because the bugs just one shot you. And I can't play ranged because the ranged guy took all the resources for it.
Also no riding or taming in a game surrounded by animals?
And lost items on death leading to constant corpse runs. With bugs that one shot you I will remind.

>>716261487
Host needs to have the supporters DLC

>>716270528
Sounds like you were just terrible at the game. Hilarious that you complain about not having enough resources when everything respawns and there's an ingame option for duping everything.
You'd hate this.

>>716265735
anon wants the opposite

>>716270528
Ah, I see
You still need to get multiples of everything, but it's pretty simple to do so
There's a lot of variety you can use in weapons, especially now with the upgrading bench
You can tame some little critters but mire importantly you can steal vehicles
And there is a option to not drop items on death or you can just reload the world and your death bag will appear in the central plaza, iirc

>>716267030
Fish in the aquarium don't decay

>>716268242
You're better off fighting the new flame thrower enemies in Praetorium as part of 1.0 patch, they have a higher drop rate and there's at least 3 of them each respawn cycle

>spend I don't know how long humping all my stuff over to the new base, reorganizing, running cables, etc
>alright time to go into flathill and do some cool stuff
>immediatley progress blocked by some purple mold
How do I get around this shit? I don't have a recipe for anti mold gel or whatever it was it asked for, every door is locked true to inspiration I figured the sewer was the path of progress but it just brings me back up to street level.

>>716271141
ignore it, you don't get the anti mold gel recipe until much, much later
not my picture but there's no map of flathill, the sewer lets you sneak past the giant thing but you can also just run/kite/sneak past them on the street level, you need to go around the park and then into a building and upstairs which will have an energy brick that unlocks a portal to the next part of flathill

>>716271141
There's something called "antethermite" and you're not going to be able to make it until you see a portal relating to "mushrooms." You'll know it when you see it.

>>716271346
That is a beautiful diagram anon

>>716271141
You get an item you can use to burn it up later on, don't worry. You don't have to go in there to complete Flathill the first time.

>>716271141
The "mold" blocks a single room with a trader. You're done with flathill at that point.

>upgrade laser pistol
>feel more downgrade
what the fuck ?

>>716269371
I play it with 3 people, it's fine but if you host it locally then only the host can boot the server and grind for stuff whilst the others are offline
it also mean that you'll have this issue of trying to keep all 3 players up to the same sort of progression in terms of armor/weapons since you'll need 3x the mats, although it's not like you need the most up to date newest gear all the time
it's a first person survival game with a heavy emphasis on the map and progression, it's like terraria in terms of how heavy the progression is except without the procedural generation. It's not like Ark/Minecraft/Valheim where you're given the tools to progress but there's no real over arching story

i played previous version with my gf
we broke up few months ago
i still have the save file
i'd love to play 1.0 but i just can't

>>716271609
>upgrade thermal hammer
>drops annoying as fuck AoE fire now
i really hate this effect, the two weapons in residence district both do it too

>>716271346
>>716271348
>>716271405
>>716271526
Thank you anons. I thought I did a good run around of the playground but I'll take another look.

>>716271816
you need a really good sense of direction in this game, later on it gets even more confusing especially with all the shortcuts

Where is the entrance to that portal world with the exor village? I've already been there once, but damned if I remember how

>>716271904
In power services at the top of the Reservoir to reactor.

>>716271904
in that area between hydroplant and reactors.

>>716271971
>>716271979
Thanks. I guess my memory of that part is foggy.

>>716271904
the place after hydroplant where there's loads of water and fungi, the portals' at the top of the building over the water that needs jump pad to get to
if you repaired it, the tram at the back of the office section goes directly to that section, else you have to go downstairs in hydroplant and take the water pipe

>>716272086
you'll be going back there a lot when you start crafting the stuff from the end of the last patch, especially the teleporters
I grew one of those alien plants that pull you up and put it next to the portal entrance so i can skip the jump pad, I'll need to make a teleporter at some point

whats the point of the double daggers? theyre overall slower dps than the other weapons and they put you so close to the enemy that you take more damage too since you can't keep your distance

>telepad
>that one mats requires plutonic blood AND carapace
for fuck's sake but i guess worth it

>>716272515
it's not too bad to be honest once you remember there's an exchanger that swaps carapace for plutonic blood back in dusk reactor, literally every enemy in that reactor drops carapace even the shitty hedgehogs

>>716272648
the shroom reactor also has an ass load of exploding pests. one room has seven.

Exor set's non-leg breaking bonus is such a godsend. I made so many leg splints before now. I guess my doctor skill isn't benefiting anymore tho

>>716273352
not a problem if you kill them fast enough

>Make Deatomizer
>It fucking shreds soldiers and the not-vortiguants
>Still takes forever to kill the hydroplant bots
Why are they like this

>>716272461
You get a flat damage increase from Blade skill. By right you should block with it but it's stuck on throwing animation.

>>716274485
You need to shoot the Artillery Bots back to make them explode. They will expose it if you either bait their melee or use the night pass to deagro them when out of sight.

>>716274485
sneak up on the hydroplant bots and hit their battery pack twice with IS99
you'll need to hit the battery a little more but it gets them close to a self destruct state.

>>716274485
use a slushie bomb for any of the tankier enemies, freezes them in place so you can laser their weakpoint for a full 5 seconds

is this worth playing solo?

>>716274485
always use the atomizer on mode 2 with the overcharge, melts literally everything
you can carry the charging station and use that to recharge it on the go
>>716274706
my blade is like level 19, its still terrible damage compared to the other 2 handed blade weapons

>>716275257
yes, the multiplayer is fun but ultimately there's nothing that actually requires any sort of real cooperation, its just there for the sake of being able to play with friends

>>716254430 (OP)
have they updated much since the launch like a year ago or whatever? me and friends were thinking of playing again but not sure how much they actually updated/changed since

>hardlight saber
>still hard to melee because they keep knock player back
the fact is two handed should give longer reach

>>716276445
yes, the full release just dropped yesterday

Prior to this patch I was actually complaining that there weren't enough guns, and that you were too railroaded by the tech tree. Glad the biggest issue with the game is gone now.

>>716276445
they have, we've got 1.0 on our hands now.
we have an ending and the following cascade regions
>security sector + 1 portal world
>hydroplant + 1 portal world
>reactors + 3 portal worlds
>residences + 1 portal world
we've also gotten a few secret and seasonal-themed portal worlds.

Where is the flesh dimension? Hard mode: not your anus

>>716279382
Isn't it coming later?

Played this with my friends.
I don't get why is it overwhelmingly positive.

Are there any new IS in labs besides the moving box?

I'm trying real hard to enjoy this game but keep getting random crashes and pseudo-crashes. Using Proton 7.0-6 as that seems to be the only Proton version that works properly on my system, but guess I'm gonna switch it up and try different versions... I've turned all settings down to Medium, done fullscreen/borderless/windowed, the DX11 version in launch settings, -disableanalytics, so far everything I've found that makes sense. Driving me insane. I fucking hate Unreal.

>>716254430 (OP)
Anyone know how to lure out the new leyak?

>>716283327
Eat the greyeb seed (eyeballs). It's even better if you have high cooking to make food that uses the eyeballs.

>>716254430 (OP)
at least it was before I packaged everything up

These new weather events are brutal.

what exactly was this moving box I found at night?

Did they finally fix the performance in this game?
There's no way graphics like that can actually tank my FPS

>>716284101
I found it wandering and it tends to eat drops from enemies and then bring it to you for some reason.
A funny example is me never picking up Order soldier helmets and backpacks yet it eats it up and brings it to me. I'm unsure what will happen if you don't take the items from it's mouth.

I'm more interested in the zombie apocalypse dimension that the the scientist unknowingly exposed the virus to that caused the collapse

>>716284101
>>716284185
It's literally just a way of picking up items you may have lost. He cleans up drops and follows you home with them, you can either choose to take what he brought or destroy it.

>>716284185
When I found it there wasn't anything inside.

>>716283984
The seed? Not the actual fruit?

>>716284164
Anon, its just half-life texture but other graphics effect still nasty because of UE5. My gpu just WOOOOOOO every time i play it.

>>716284518
Whoops, yea the eyeball fruit. If you have a greyeb seed, just plant it and let it grow. I'm a little surprised they finally made the salad wrap have a downside since it had the best hunger/thirst filling per ingredient.

>>716281438
I've played this with friends and they really disliked the game yet I noticed something when they gave up. They never read the terminals or finish an NPCs dialogue tree. Truly a generation with no literary skills and a fried brain.

>>716284684
It must be something preventing me because I ate 5 greyabs and it's not showing.
It might be because I'm in a black fog event.

>>716285231
Yeah, I don't think she spawns during events

>>716285368
We are talking about the new one, right? The ice one?

>>716260336
all you have to do to counter it is look at it

>>716260336
staring will still make it vanish when aggro'd, BUT it will not freeze when stared at, making it harder to keep your crosshair centered

>>716260880
the lamp is after helmholtz, but you get the tower blueprint as soon as you unleash the leyak, though you will have to wander around labs a bit to figure out exactly how to get all of the ingredients

Think I'll build my first base on a new safe upstairs in the office zone gym where the lady kind of is.
Or would it be better downstairs in the locker room/kitchen? I feel like that place would get attacked a lot, but I don't know how far the spawn mitigation is on the crafting bench.

>>716283061
The respec Amnesia Threshold. The price is to reset all your lvl3 so don't do it from mid game onwards

>>716262479
>>716262658
there is a mod to remove the leyak if you're really that bothered by it

the "guy in security" is a total pushover once you learn what to do

>>716285604
>Not using a mod tool to increase your exp gains by a factor of 1000 so you can respec into the fanny pack
You will never bee on the science team.

>>716275257
Solo is a little more challenging but it's completely playable. Of course you can compensate for that by customizing the difficulty settings if you wish.

>>716269635
QRD on the soup downgrades? What did they do to them?

>>716261889
people on the discussions figured it out

anyone know if you can actually find abe after the credits roll or is that just future patch bait

>>716284852
Agreed. I started on a server with a group of about 6-8 people. The ones who engaged with the terminals and NPC's got really engaged with the game and kept playing. The ones who didn't dropped off

>>716286609
They changed how it was stored in the gane files, so all old soups reverted to pest goulash
New soups are unaffected but they spoil now

>>716287143
>New soups are unaffected but they spoil now
It's so over, I'll miss having a dozen options on my table before venturing.

>>716285603
If you base in the downstairs gym/pool/locker you will have to deal with the security bot that patrols through.

B side tram station in the plaza is one of the most easily defended and convenient locations to base in, though it does lack some amenities like toilets until you acquire the stuff to craft your own.

>>716287121
6-8 sounds like chaos. I do well to keep a group of 4 organized.

>>716288143
>B side tram station
New player, where is that? Is that simply the otherside in the plaza?

>>716254430 (OP)
the map looks like a bad drawn chikorita

Aside from the antique shotgun, any guns worth upgrading?

>>716288310
it's the far side of the tram station in the main plaza, accessible by a ramp/catwalk

>>716288382
All of them.

why tho

>>716290310
desu I spent way too long living off of super tomatoes, I didn't even bother looking into soup until they nerfed Agriculture and put the extra harvest yield perk at the end of the tree, I wish I had gotten into it sooner

>Get the purple warning about something in the air and danger

???

>>716290310
Multiple slices for multiplayer sharing. Also Soup spoils now but those do not.

>>716290640
the thing(s) that were going to fuck up your base either:
A. couldnt find a clear valid spot the spawn
B. spawned then got killed by something else nearby (npcs will aggro on each other)
C. spawned but fell into a void

What's an artefact weapon?

>>716290791
Does soup still spoil if you have it in a bowl?

>>716291867
by bowl are you talking about repurposed coffee carafe or in a pot placed on a shelf

>>716291941
The former.

>>716292058
then no

>>716292114
Cool. I don't see what the big deal is then.

>>716291186
My base was just the cafeteria area with the coffee machine, weird

How many new enemies were added in 1.0?

Is it just me or the audio quality for proximity chat massively fucked? I'd like to use that because my friend is a bit of scaredy-cat so that'd be funny but as it stands it's quite annoying. It's like when you plug in and out an audio device, it clips a bit for a short instant and it does that randomly while we're talking.

>>716293108
I've heard it's fucked right now

What's the best way to grind Sneaking XP? I wanna get the double damage perk but thats gonna be a boring ass grind

>>716295000
Well, I cheesed it by using the big ass conposers in flathill

>>716292335
they probably spawned in the main offices plaza and got romped by the security bot there then

>>716292172
it isnt a big deal, food isnt a problem past the first hour

>>716295000
hear me padawan and i will teach you
>>716295439
this guy is right

anyway what you do is go to flathill, get to the roof on the building which is alongside one of the big-ass composers. climb up to the top of the fence. ideally bring pea soup too for extra snekaing xp
crouch down, then just wait
as the composer walks back and forth beneath you, you will constantly gain sneaking xp. you can optimize it a bit by 'following' it along the top of the fence for maximum xp gain uptime, but its not really necessary

>>716254430 (OP)
Is this game fun solo? I have no friends

>>716296072
yes
better solo imo

>>716296072
yes. it is 100% finishable and enjoyable solo, arguably even more so than with people since people suck and are idiots
ignore anyone telling you the game is too hard solo. it isnt. only complete shitters who are garbage at video games find abiotic factor hard, its point is not to be difficult

>>716296072
Yes

how the fuck do you get to the security sector again? picked up my playthrough for 1.0 and tped out of security. the office sector door with the chest isn't open and my brain is melted
through the zombie area in labs i assume?

>>716296072
It's horrific, turned it off after 15 minutes. Only retards disagree

Best settings for solo world?

>>716296072
Yes, it's better solo

>>716296346
You need to antithermite from Mycofields

>that entire section with the tall ass library in flathill
FUUUUCK that holy shit, was sweating bullets

Favorite weapons? This new one is probably one of the best ones they added.
Only negative is that is runs through durability really fast.

>>716297139
the repeating crossbow you get as an idea from the weird order cult/puritan world

If I roll a 4 I buy the game

>Gianni the tranny is the voice actor for the main character

The biggest red flag of them all

Why did these fuckstick devs have lumen as the only GI implementation? You can turn every other setting from low to ultra and notice a collective 2% performance difference, but enable GI/lumen at all and you take a bare minimum 15% cut and 20c temp increase. At least most other games that upgraded to UE5 have both traditional GI implementations alongside lumen. I literally get lower temps at 144fps with lumen off than I do at 60fps with lumen on. Lumen is such hot garbage.

I have put my playthrough on hold after doing sector with mycofields, waiting for full release. How are the military guns now? Can you repair them? Are melee weapons still a better option? Can you get ammo reliably for them?

you guys did find your waifu a robot body right guys? Not surprised this is so rare, its already incredibly hard to find her in the first place, then unlock her secret voice module, then find the hidden robot to upload her into

>>716299294
I forget, did we ever find out what the fuck happened to him?

>>716289665
base attacks, power turn off opening up some secret areas that have fans or electricity running, probably some species of fish you can only catch at night

>>716257226
They literally added a second one due to complainers. The Reaper now spawns at night too now.

>>716300880
>waiting for full release
1.0 is out

>How are the military guns now? Can you repair them?
>Can you get ammo reliably for them?
Military guns are viable with the new upgrade bench system and get repaired with a low tier weapon repair kit but ammo is still annoying as ever to get

>Are melee weapons still a better option?
Depends on your playstyle but melee and science ranged weapons are viable. Heavy melee is mostly good if you like playing sneak.

>>716301728
>spoiler

>>716295000
I'm unsure if it still works but doing sneak attacks on enemies gives a lot of sneak xp

>>716301742
>ammo still annoying to get
Grim, i understand the point in the setting but they should just let you craft it

>>716301806
he's a pathetic lil bitch once you have that one cheapo gun

>>716301728
The shadow monster in research also got updated, and its shadows inside its containment now have more effects and damage the player properly

>>716302116
Got buffed and now can tank more shots, still a non issue if you keep backing up

>>716297139
Electron Grenade. Just fucking melts everything.

>>716302416
oh i'm gonna play the update this weekend maybe i should get outta here to avoid spoilers

by the way before i leave they added new stuff all over the facility right? so should i run through the whole facility and talk to everyone or something

>>716302840
The enhancement bench is really the only new thing I noticed right away doing a fresh playthrough.

>>716301742
>get repaired with a low tier weapon repair kit
I'll take it as long as I don't need to kill 100 soldiers to get them to drop 1 (one) copy of a gun like it was before.
>Depends on your playstyle
Eh, I've liked to bring a lot of stuff with me, but in the end electric spear + shield was much more effective/efficient than guns about 90% of the time. I'm glad they made them more viable-ish from the sounds of it.

>>716304673
I think you need to go outside anon.

>>716304673
Nigga, I played solo since bought it and clocked around 90 hours now. Thats a single playthrough. Plus, this survival game, so you can adjust to your liking.

>>716304673
are you a bot

>>716304673
its not friendslop.
"friendslop" games are games with no substance except for the reactions from your friends.
abiotic factor has actual content and meaning, it is a story driven game. with or without friends, your enjoyment of the game is mostly from the game itself.
its also best played solo.

anyone got a list of all the soup recipes?

>>716305878
All you need is

>>716304810
Asking bots if they are bots is like trying to "jailbreak" LLMs that have been designed to not answer to specific phrases and logic strings to just reveal themselves. With that said a ton of responses including "friendslop" is manufactured.

WHY ARE MY SOUPS RUINED

>>716306782
TOO SWEET

>>716306782
that's not real food

how does the transmog function work? I am clicking the toggle but it doesn't seem to be doing much

Radiation goes down on its own or do I need to find meds for that? Can't find the answer online.

>>716307984
are you putting gear in it

So, do pots of soup in the fridge actually go bad or only if you leave them out? I've got about 6 pots and I'm thinking whether I should make a bunch of soup bowls so they will for sure last indifinitely or just leave them be in the fridge?

>started the game
>exited the cafeteria and built a crafting bench in the gym
So I can just chill out here for the next 10 hours and figure out how the base building works right?

>>716308123
it will go away on its own

>>716258369
my wife :)

>>716308176
sure if you want to

>>716308123
It does slowly go down on its own, but the anti rad pills are so ubiquitous that you'll be drowning in them sooner rather than later.
>>716308176
You sure can, but you'll be pretty limited in what you can actually do.

>>716295000
you used to be able to machine-gun xp from the coworker. now you only can occasionally smack him. just hit him everytime he shows up to get sneak attack xp

>>716308151
I've only got a few pieces so far, since it's a toggle button I assume it's meant to just toggle whether it is visible on your person or not?

>abiotic factor now gets full front page threads
excuse me, why did you all neglect it before?

>>716300090
Wow how can I meat girls that look like this

>>716308578
i'm so glad it has lively threads now. i can understand why people didn't want to try a survival crafting early access game because most of them are horrible. it being out of early access helps a ton.

>>716308578
I'm not buying an Early Access game nigga, by buying it right before its 1.0 release I have the privilege of not getting burnt out playing an unfinished build and get it for cheaper. That's like saying why did the average CCU jumped from 2k to 20k.

>>716308278
she only has eyes for me

These shield enemies can be kind of hilarious. Behave oddly like a real life player where you just end up dancing back and forth looking at each other through the slot.

what should i take to canaan? last time i went it fucking sucked so i want my anus fully prepared

is there a hev suit in the game that behaves like the one in half-life? administrating morphine, giving you situational reports about your status etc? or is there a suit that at least looks like it?
missed opportunity if not.

>>716309882
no.
double missed opportunity: the endgame fullbody suit is an expedition suit that offers all around improvements.

>>716309825
a jump pack so you can skip through it

>>716309825
Bandages and anything else to deal with bleeding

>>716309825
if you've already cleared it you can just use a jet/jump pack. i'd recommend getting a workbench + bound personal teleporter set up right by the lodestone, you're going to want a lot of those when you unlock telepads.

>>716258369
She just has trouble expressing her feelings.

>>716309825
bandages and more bandages

>>716310112
don't have that yet sadly, still in security need lodestone for the tier 4 hacking pad
>>716310123
got that
>>716310274
like inside canaan? it doesn't disappear on portal world reset?

>>716310112
most jet packs and similar varieties are disabled on a first run

>>716310826
things that you place yourself in portal worlds will stick around even between resets.
the resets just respawn items, furniture, and enemies.

>>716310920
oh shit i'm definitely doing that then ty

>>716308123
Radiation goes down over time. It's pointless to use iodine tablets until you actually have radiation sickness and are about to vomit

what even is the point of this little fucker, other than giving you a heart attack when it appears behind you?
it's so inconsistent that it doesn't really make for great storage either

>>716310912

Do I get cool nazi uniforms with the supporter edition or just the lame ones in the preview?

what do you do with the powered forklift in manufacturing west ?

Anybody else notice white flashing when going around some corners in the game?

Also the fact that some of the journal entries reset as if they were new entries every time you boot up the game...

what the fuck is this

Feed him

>>716312627
uh clearly he's your coworker

>>716312627
Randy Pitchford

>>716311191
Picks up crap lying around from other areas, like glass, cans, planks from crates, enemies or furniture you destroyed but ignored and brings it to you every now and then

>>716311191
I toss furniture inside him so when he shows up later when im chilling at base I can grab it, like a moving truck kek

>>716258369
That shit looks GOOFY bruh. Idk why people shit themselves and cry to the developers over it. Like they can't even pull the arachnophobia card because that thing resembles nothing

>>716313258
Huh, haven't noticed him picking up any of the stuff I've left laying around yet, his inventory is always empty.
>>716313510
That sounds like a pretty good use case, if your base isn't in a portal world

>>716312627
I fed him a tomato

>>716313760
It's not about what it looks like, it's about the unfun bullshit it does like warping through walls while aggroed to you and it appearing at the most unopportune moments while having no proper way to deal with it. I also fucking hate the wailing and gasping noises it makes.

There are many ways to deal with it

>>716314635
Not at the point when you first encounter it, and no, dropping everything you're doing just to stare at the fucker isn't a proper way to deal with it, the whole enemy is just bad gameplay design.

>>716308578
I never neglected it, I just took a break until 1.0 released. I love this game.

does the game still run like shit comparatively speaking? i haven't played since january and struggled to get 60 fps even with everything turned off or on low, on decent hardware

I'm gonna buy it.

just killed the final boss, overall bit of a letdown, the new armour sets are cool. Not too sure what to do now

does changing sandbox setting affect achievements? i have no one to play with and dont want to have to grind every job myself

So, are we posting scientists or what? Here's my old one, from before 1.0. I'm going to start fresh, after I wrap up some other stuff.

>>716314336
>oh no, I have to carry an x-ray gun!
>on no, I have to keep x-ray turret powered
It's an obstacle. And like any other, it has a solution. And then permanent one.

>>716315506
they got it a lot better since it has to run on shitbox xbox's now

>>716315963
too many options now, idk what armour i'm going to end up going with

>>716315934
No. Mods don't affect achievements either.

>>716315506
Game runs locked 90FPS for me on my 3060TI at 1440p and everything set to high (do not use the highest 'epic' settings, those tank performance massively for very minor gains, this is true for every UE5 game with an 'epic' preset btw). Also I would recommend switching the anti-aliasing from TSR to TAA for example. TSR costs around 30-40fps.

>>716284185
My friend and I literally just fill him full of soup and soda so he's like an ethereal picnic basket that somehow always arrives with goodies at your time of greatest need.

IS the security office a noob trap location for a base?

It feels so awkward returning to this game. I've forgotten how the game's played, I've forgotten what crafting materials I should be on a lookout for, I see late-game enemies in starting areas... Man, I dunno, everything just feels off. I was afraid this might happen.

>>716316364
might be time for a fresh playthrough?

>>716316298
yes if you don't know how to progress. It's central to the train lines and various access shortcuts so it becomes the de-facto choice later in the game. If you can progress fast you'll save time just setting up there first and running where you need to go

>>716316298
I regret moving my base from there

>>716316189
>Game runs locked 90FPS for me on my 3060TI at 1440p
alright that's good because with a 3060 i was barely able to push 60 with everything off, while fortnite runs at 120 fps

>>716316435
Maybe, but man, I've clocked 90 hours in this game, don't really feel like starting fresh. Maybe I'll convince some of my buddies to buy it and co-op it with me...

>online coop open world survival craft

Base in office sector security station.

>>716316676
it has soul, honestly no procedural generation puts it a step above almost any survival crafter

>>716316298
security office is pure kino and i don't care what anyone says

>>716316676
No procedurally generated content, for one. All the areas are hand-crafted. Interconnected world design, where all the major areas have shortcuts and tram lines connecting them. Memorizing all the possible routes and finding the most efficient way of moving from one area to another is a fun puzzle in itself.
Apart from that, unique HL-inspired aesthetics.
And then obscure, subjective shit like "atmosphere" and "soul".

>>716316676
Convince you? If you already know and want to compare it to fucking RUST you're masochistic enough to see what it is yourself.

>>716316676
nothing's procedural.
its a handcrafted experience from start to finish...
>early access
and its not early access anymore.

>>716316676

>>716316676

>>716316298
>noob trap
No such thing, it's fine as it is. It's popular for a reason because of it's proximity to the train but you can base anywhere. Base locations become a matter of choice once you unlock teleporters since you can just build a network as you please.

>>716316676
Due to the extremely linear progression and general structure the game has more in common with old RPGs than most survival-craft-builds out there.
As in get to new zone, level up then move on when it's no longer worth staying around and 9/10 times old stuff is genuinely no longer relevant.
Compared to something like Conan which is another plot driven survival game Abiotic factor is far more setpiece driven and far less open. You're not gonna be able to start at A and skip B for C type of thing.

>>716288830
my friends like this game but they don't stop to read anything and if I do it I get left behind, maybe since I'm the host I shouls sometimes hop in alone so I can read the emails at least

1) press button under second bridge. - you hear sound
2) hack t4 panel at backyard. - lights on

4) drop Portal Koi (fish you can take at Torii with portal fish bait) AND Royal Coin - crate go to wall and open ladder.

>bitches that never respawn
They don't?

>>716318554
they do, just at a much lower rate because people complained. You used to be able to cheese the respawning by save quitting and then reloading which would instantly respawn all enemies. They fixed it months ago which i think was bullshit

>>716306782

What shit does Grayson sell? Fucker startled me one morning after giving him a bandage and he had nothing.

>>716321339
i did but we only played about 10 hours previously, got back to the same point in 5 hours
they did change the skill trees around some so wouldnt be exactly the same, not sure what else may have changed

>>716321653
It's not horror/suspense sort of scary, but it can get spooky, yes.

>>716321661
Ammo, medium gun repair kits
You get him way before he's actually useful

here's a fun one, (actual spoilers) it might be possible to beat the game and get to albatross without freeing the wayseeker or touching the sun disk. both of which are required for the doomsday event.
you can get to the residence tram pretty easily, a combination of bionic legs, jump pack and gravity cube is just enough to get you there. this allows you to skip going through the praetorium for the tram teleport (and by proxy freeing the wayseeker).
BUT you still need tactical scrap from the praetorium for thermocells. for this, you're actually able to the portal platform in the far gardens with the jetpack, bionic legs, gravity cube, AND a well placed jump pad
this all of course relies on two things:
1. the praetorium portal in far gardens is active without making your way through shadowgate
2. its possible to, at the very least, stack enough cold resistance to survive residences without the sun disk.
it might also be possible to skip freeing cahn, but its been so long that im not sure about the specifics of it all.
i doubt the devs actually included anything for if you manage to do it, but it'd be neat to get there without triggering the events that'll fuck the world.

>>716268153
they did say they were going to make raids more intelligent. I Don't know if this spills over to portal storms.

They become a non-issue later on. Make sure you pay attention to your workbench and how you can upgrade it.

>>716271346
fucking incredible picture

>>716320858
I wish there was an option to visually hide power cords.

So what's the point of the walking box if I can't empty it like a recycle bin?
Does the game expect me to manually pick up and throw away all the shit this guy picks up?
I could use a walking trashcan, but this guy ain't it.

force you to swap between guns rather than load up on 7 stacks of shotgun ammo for IS99 before you set out.

>>716324432
Yeah but ammo is way too rare imo

>If you load the game on the office doors the black guy dies again
Lmao I was not expecting the game to play that animation again way after he died

>>716321661
I keep hearing about this Grayson guy but I have no idea where he is

I wish dropped items didn't just disappear

>>716324779
The forklift guy, telling you about power cells.
Hold a bandage in your hands and you get a new interraction option.

>>716324921
Was this always a thing, or was this added by the new update?

>>716324739
best part, that plays every time the area is loaded.
he's forced to die forever every time someone gets close.

from 0-100 real fast

>>716324970
New thing in update. They hinted at it in patch notes.
>Please help that poor man by the Forklift. He’s a bit rough around the edges, but we hear he’s actually rather charming.
He also got a new look. He's got a bushy blond beard now and new voice.

>>716304605
Cuz they cool. I would dare to call myself the #1 leyak fan

>>716325263
Yeah, I noticed the new look.
Always felt kinda bad for not helping him, but I never even tried giving him a bandage.
Glad I'll be able to help him now.

>>716323006
I was kinda hoping bringing Kylie in her final form would trigger an alternate ending

>>716324861
I dont think they do in your base, I have a fuck ton of meds littering the floor I dropped days ago

>>716316676
this game is finished and has infinitely more content than either of those games will ever have.

>>716326008
Behold... the final boss of survival early access vaporwares...

>>716324334
Still got the leyak flesh dimension, curie containment block still covered in thermite goo, blocked off corridor next to IS 012 cell, unless this shit I mentioned has been addressed in 1.0. I'm personally interested in the tub of blood creature getting loose

She's new.

>>716326836
From the way she was talking I though she was gonna sell human body parts

>>716326238
>after we'll have added fastidiously detailed sericulture mechanics we'll start working on shit that matters and complete the game, pinky promise!

>>716326836
She is austintic?

>>716324334
We also have the other dimension yo go to from botanical, I think its either an alternate reality or the future. The NPC who speaks to you there is called "parent"

>>716327280
she's more martensitic imo

>>716326663
oh yeah we dont have any of those yet.
im mad that we still dont have the curie block

>>716327372
Hohohoho!

So what new SCPs are there? Already heard of the moving box and second leyak.

>play again after update
>re-capture leyak
>go to portal world
>teleport back
>gone
Wat.

Is this a 1.0 thing? I had her perpetually imprisoned a few months back.

>>716327803
>her

>>716328023
yes

>>716327803
Nevermind, I just realised zombies severed battery connection when they somehow destroyed the containment earlier (don't know how that happened, it was there and then instantly wasn't).

DUDE, a little privacy, maybe?!

>>716254430 (OP)
Office sector.. the only good part of the game.. home.

Can you place stuff in the environment like in Todd's games?

>>716325340
>>716325340
she cute

>>716329602
Secondary question, is it possible to merge liquids between containers (2 pots of water for example) ?

>>716254430 (OP)
>room design 1:1 copied from another game
Wow, you don't see that often.
What game is this?

>>716329602
Not really, no. Game will consider these items "dropped" and despawn them after a while. Another anon said that this does not apply to your home base area, but I can't confirm that.

>>716329772
Yes. Hold one container in your hands and aim at another, you should get the option of pouring it.

>>716329797
>copied from another game
What game would that be?

>>716326836
Scared the fuck out of me... how the fuck did a GIRL get in my fort? She must not have seen the sign.

>>716329961
>he lacks key information

>>716329885
Thanks

>>716329961
Skyrim

>>716329961
i wonder

>>716330156
Post a screenshot of the same-looking room in Skyrim.

>>716329961

>>716330448
a screenshot of the same-looking room in Skyrim.

is the game a good experience as a solo player (i dont have friends)

>>716330710
yes

>>716330710
Not only is it a good experience, it might actually be superior to having some wiki-reading dum-bass ruining your immersion every step of the way.

So is the Tech Scepter and it's upgrade the strongest option for one handed blunt melees? I'm really hung up on having a one hander blunt weapon specifically but it doesn't seem like they get much stronger than the upgraded version.

>>716329961
I ASKED FIRST

Fuck me if I remember, I can't find it in my library.
It was isometric, played it probably like a decade ago. Maybe Stasis?

>>716330831
use your brain nigga

>>716330831
Are you some sort of a faggot?
You're not making any sense.

>>716330905
You're not worth it.

le basedak

>>716330831
What is the subject of this thread?

>>716331029
I don't know, I can't read.

anon's getting salty

for me it's the anon that got stuck right at the start when you're supposed to build a crafting bench and wrote a negative steam review (he didn't know you could break stuff for supplies)

The Leyak spawns every 15 minutes or so, right? So I'll have to grind it for an hour just to get to the control center? That's pretty shit, considering I have absolutely nothing else to do in the meanwhile.

>>716333005
eat yummy eyeball food

>>716333005
I vaguely remember there being other ways of getting his cumballs, but I may be wrong.
I just don't remember grinding for it at all.

>>716333181
leyak is a grill

>>716333229
Says who?
It doesn't look like a girl.

Wtf is going on?

>>716333121
I only got one greyeb seed and haven't found any actual greyebs anywhere, it would take me longer to plant and harvest it anyways than just wait for the Leyak to spawn every 15 minutes.

>>716289976
unironically all my friends that are willing to play this with me are asian and hispanic. its only the whites that go for the turbo slop.

>>716333283
Prepare to get raped.

>>716333283
don't worry about it

>>716333279
Referred to as female in game dialogue. The new one is also probably female because krasue is a female mythological figure

>>716333181
You can eat certain eyeball foods to cause him to spawn sooner.
Also, when he is contained in his temporary cell, he shits out essence daily. You just have to remember to clean it out.

>>716323531
If you're playing multiplayer on a server, sometimes the items desync when you kill an enemy and are unable to pick them up. If this guy is around, he'll pick up the items allowing you to get them from him

>>716312627
Mondays, am I right?

>>716333283
Portal storm, friendly hedgehogs inbound, get your family size cheetos out

>>716326836
As a trader, yes.

I have frends who want to play but they're all over the place and I'd rather not wait days to play. How solo'able is this game?

>>716334787
It's definitely soloable

I can't get the pests to get in my trap no matter where I put it. I put one where they spawn, where one of them patrols, and even aggroed one to get it to follow me and it walked right past the thing.
What do?

>>716334675
I love those two dipshits

I played through to reactors on my first playthrough before 1.0 but I'm going to start over again. Where should I put my base in office sector? I just left eveything in the cafeteria the first time but I want to try somewhere different.

>>716335374
wherever you want

Does this game runs as smooth as it should according to it looks? or it is some weird shit related to the engine like pseudoregalia?

>>716335602
My rig struggles to run modern shit at 60 yet I was getting 200+ fps on the reg.

>>716335602
It runs like absolute ass, bruh. I'm on a 3060ti and a 5700X3D and maxed out you get really shit frame drops in the weirdest places. Turning the AA to TAA and turning down global illumination helped a bit but it still chugs in places

>>716335505
Security office it is then

>>716333283
portal storm, it's the game way of forcing you to defend your base
the type of enemies changes as the game progresses

>>716334675
>what could you possibly spend money during this
the fucking slushie machine has taken 100s of my dollars and it demands more, those bombs are too good

>>716335979
How about this one?

>>716333005
It's been 50 minutes with a single Leyak sighting, I think I'm running around too fast for it to catch up to me and it ends up despawning.. I might have to go the greyeb route..

>>716336326
I did actually think about that place, it's cosy but also makes me think I'd run out of space pretty quickly

THEY GOT FUCKING NINJAS

God damn it, they didn't fix the journal bug with some of the entries ALWAYS showing up as new/unread. Pissed me off back then, pisses me off even more now.

>>716337042
they also really fucking annoying to fight, and their weapons suck ass in your hand even with level 19 blade
>get separated from friends
>have to fight 3 of them at once

What the fuck do I make to start training my 1 shooting...

>>716337485
Makeshift pistol, of course.

>>716337485
crossbow, hoard pens when you find them

>>716337485
Makeshift crossbow.
It's fairly shit, but it's a first step.

Crossbow it is

>>716337485
Make the crossbow as soon as you can and craft a lot of ammo for it, it trains accuracy and reloading really well at the same time. The next two ranged weapons you'll be able to craft also help train both skills quickly. Once you get to the 2nd section of the game there will be soldiers that occasionally wear combat helmets. Use the security pistol to get headshots on them and they will drop the helmet, which gives you a bonus to accuracy and reloading XP when worn.

>>716337485
In addition to what >>716337741 said make MREs into soup for an added bonus

is there any point to the sleep minigame?

>>716337272
I still haven't been able to upgrade their blades either, tried the dual wield blade twice and it upgraded completely broken and irreparable. Tried upgrading to the other blade and it wasn't broken but i couldn't attack with it. Also all three blades deleted themselves from the chest i put them in so there's that

>>716339347
makes sleep go by faster

>>716314465
Half-life sucks and it's sad that retards would ruin the game like this.

>>716327225
OH NO SOMEONE STOLE MY LAPTOP AND MY DOG BURNT DOWN

>>716337662
its was my choice for easy ranged weapon, levels shooting and reloading and ammo is plentiful until you can make the disc thrower
the makeshift shotgun is good for stealth blasting enemies in the head but the lag in firing makes it a pain for actual combat

We fucking did it finally, fuck the droprate on snipers.

>>716340214
I got the chest piece, just need the arms and legs now. i feel like they buffed the armor drop rates, used to get way less in the past
the NVG are so fucking shit though

>>716340459
I've got crates full of NVG's atp. Useful for the lenses

>>716340628
i just trade for the lenses, smashed NVGs dont drop enough for me to have a big supply of them in the first place

>>716340459
Wear the order amulet, it boosts all of the drop rates from them, not just ammo (unless this was changed in 1.0)
I was drowning in sniper rifles, hoods, berets, and magnums on my gun playthrough

>try apocalyptic difficulty for 1.0
It's not that bad
>reach that mounted gun at the end of labs
fug :DDDDDDD

Do sentry bots no longer patrol throughout the night? It seems like they do their rounds from 22:00 to 00:00, and then return to their stations. I could swear they used to patrol until 06:00 before the update.

>>716342415
Nah. I returned from Flathill during night and had to hide from a bot when it walked in on me in the kitchen area.

fug, someone needs to bake a new bread!

>>716320113
You can craft one out of hexwood with infinite durability or just find the ones that respawn in the portal worlds

>>716343098
there's also a butchering knife that seemingly has infinite durability too which neat, although the laser sword and atomizer do a good job of chopping up corpses as double duty

>>716343198
Also you can just repair the hammer you have for 1 scrap metal, which you can find a billion of
