I, uhh... need to watch you defecate. For science.

Why does pipe pistol even exist when scrapshot is so obviously superior in every way?

how the hell are you supposed to have enough accuracy to get the armwraps for advanced firearms? I am already at shadowgate and still using the bio-metric armwraps.

>>717249238
Just use the enhancement bench to remove the bio-lock, the armwraps are hella gay.

>>717249238
Boil MREs and hunt down aliens with a pistol after farming 999 9mm rounds

>>717249328
That'll work. I knew about enhancing to remove the biolock, but I didn't notice I found all required items by now (for the patois rifle anyway).

>>717249561
that's dumb. The one thing that kept me playing is that this is one of the few survival crafting games not requiring me to go farm (for now)

>>717249561
XP buffs stack so always eat a brain too if you're gonna do sth like that. Guess you don't get combat xp if you attack invulnerable enemies like the big walkers in Flathill?

>>717249238
There is other arm gear that let you use advanced weapons, snipers like at the dam can drop them when you butcher their corpses

>>717249086
Have you tried it in 1.0? They buffed it a ton.

Mondays am I right?

>>717249086
Accuracy and range. Its incredible upgraded too, haven't done the scrapshot yet so that may be even better

So i'm at hydroplant but wanna backtrack and use some antethermite.
Already done laser lab how many more do i need to make?

Science is GAY and STUPID

>>717249703
Well, to be honest, combat skill training is slow as fuck no matter what weapon you're trying to level. Except for the accuracy in that version that let you train it with electrothrower, that was quick a fuck.

>>717250379
I think just the corn

>>717250383
>Science is GAY and STUPID
and you are a science experiment

>>717250383
>t.

I for the life of me can't let go of the bionic legs

Does a workbench in the atrium prevent the security robot from respawning? I still need to trash it once before setting up there?

>>717251735
>bionic legs
>2p exor set
>excursion suit
I can't use anything else now

>>717251989
Workbenches don't prevent bot respawn. You really have to set up defences (barricades with a chopinator or tesla in the choke) if building a base near one.

>>717251735
I used them up until the reactors where I felt I need the extra armour because of the gatekeepers shredding me instantly

The reactor armour while carrying a few power cells works nicely as a replacement but I miss not shattering my legs from small falls

>>717252187
I hate having to repair armor so i'm working on making whatever the canaan set is called but leather is proving to be an issue. The wildlife pens only had 2 purple peccaries and i can't find any more breifcases

I just don’t know what to do first. And there’s so much stuff I can’t pick up because of my tiny inventory.
t. never played survival crafting slop before

>>717252312
Damn and it looked like such a neat spot for a base.

>>717252483
The train has several briefcases.

>>717252483
Train portal has briefcases, make a trip there every so often for silver scrap, wall lights and pocket watches.

Making dough and turning it into bread and then burgers is cool and all, but there's grand total of 4 purple peccaries in the entire facility...

>>717252621
Setting up a chopinator near the bot spawn (with a battery to power it through the night) is enough to keep it at bay as long as you repair it. I live in the lobby and never have bot problems, I have two chops and a Tesla coil there to deal with random night incursions as well

>>717252743
I always forget the train, so far i've only needed to go twice because i needed a second battery charger

>>717252610
you don't have to pick up everything. i don't know why people play games and think they need to vacuum up every single item they see. you are not going to miss out, the item will still be there later

>>717252610
Find or make a backpack if you've not already. There's a few in the office sector. Storage crates are just plastic and planks once you get a crafting bench and an idea of where you want a base.

>>717252610
The game is balanced for at least two people carrying stuff.
Craft yourself some container to drop all your shit.
Craft a cart as soon as you can, and enjoy your mobile container. With the cart, you can pick up things like the fridge in the kitchen. Once it's full, go back to base and drop all that shit in the container.
Don't hesitate to build small bases/outposts once you go deeper to drop your shit more easily.
Always try to craft the new shit you unlock but don't try to craft it all since not everything will be useful for your character.
Get the basics for your needs ASAP, like a cooking station and crops for food.

I just finished the myco world and I got the spore weather event, wiki says I need to go to reactor but I haven't unlocked it yet

>>717253383
Same thing happened to me, if you craft and use the antethermite it will shut off once you reach the next area

>>717253383
I had that before I even got to mycofields.

>>717254163
thanjks

Is the lode pistol bugged or what? Fucking 75 damage yet it seems to do nothing, even with stealth headshots.

>>717252610
I won't tell you exactly where, but in the Data Farm room there is a secret 21 slot backpack, it made my first playthrough way more playable.

>>717252610
>>717253215
>Craft a cart as soon as you can, and enjoy your mobile container. With the cart, you can pick up things like the fridge in the kitchen. Once it's full, go back to base and drop all that shit in the container.
don't know if you meant to say it, but you don't have to bring the cart back to the base if the base is in the lobby. There is a button next to warren that will bring back all carts WITH the loot on it, so any cart you have in your inventory can act like a container from your base.

Dr Cahn is helping me find the exit

>>717256757
>in the lobby
the starting lobby? I don’t have a base yet

do zombies drop anything other than skulls/bio material when butchered?

Anyone else get autistic when enemies damage deployables? I can't help but to repair everything even when I have no intention of bringing it back to base.

>>717252610
>press load game on the start menu
>select your world
>open advanced options at the bottom and change settings to your preference
crafting slop have some of the worst trash mechanics ever created in games so feel free to change whatever you want.
I increased the item stack cap, reduced hunger and thirst and removed the poo in loo minigame, none of it is fun or engaging and no idea why these systems are so fucking popular.

>>717257745
>concrete wall takes 1 hit of damage
>have to run over to grab the hammer
yeah

>do not open between 7pm and 7am

>>717257745
it was annoying until I got the final screwdriver upgrade, now it's FREE construction XP

>>717257881
nothing ever happens

>>717257752
because of muh realism I guess.
I hate these things too that’s why I picked the -20% hunger, thirst and doodoo perks lol

>hydroplant lobby and living area is incredibly comfy, has a full kitchen, and a big space downstairs with a water tank for a farm
>need to daisychain like half a dozen benches to make sure shit doesn't spawn in a corner and start fucking shit up
It was still worth it though, being able to cook like sixteen things at the same time kicks ass

>>717257731
Only just basic clothing or backpacks if they're wearing one.

is this worth playing on my own or is it strictly friendslop?

I turned off all the survival mechanics and downloaded the gun rebalance mod. I'm enjoying playing my Half-Life expansion.

>>717252763

Is there not a sow spawn in labs? In the middle "zoo" area. Feels like i see alot of them there.

>>717257881
>DON'T DEAD OPEN INSIDE

>>717258193

Its perfectly fine to play alone, pacing and itemdrops might even feel better solo.

>>717258193
It's arguably better on your own, there's only two portal worlds I think are improved by playing with friends and its only because the enemies that appear in them are completely silent so it helps to have someone watching your back before some faggot with a pitchfork decides to push you across the map

Does the reaper patrol outside of security?

>>717258387

It can spawn during the black fog weather event.
Just dodge the shades.

>>717257752
Thirst and hunger mechanics will always be tedious busywork, but this game and subnautica are probably the only two so far I haven't found it to be completely insufferable. A large reason for that is probably the abundance and how easy it is to get self-sufficient. Still annoying at times, but tolerable enough to treat it as something to do because it's there.

I think playing with friends would undermine the atmosphere.

Well, it's a living. And with full security set, it cost just a single piece of electronic scrap!

>>717258817
Did you just zap yourself with a Tesla coil over and over?

>>717259087
Nah, tank choppinator with your shield. I'm using lodestone shield and it blocks damage completely.

>>717258817
>drinking anteverse juice
isn't that laxative?

>need fishing to upgrade magnum
>worst fishing in any game
why did they do it

at which point am I supposed to make a base? been walking with a full inventory for like 30 minutes. I need to find an accumulator to open a gate with a forklift

>>717258254
Eh, there's three in the animal pens in the lab sector and one in the hydroplant sector (that I know of yet) and that's it. Obviously I want moar.
>>717259608
I've just put fishing trap in that ink pool and come to check it up periodically.

>>717259608
To spite not just you but me cause these fucking rare eel's aren't showing up, The night magnum is also kinda ass it just has higher durability then the normal one, Use the black oil for the Antique shotgun's upgrade instead. Also the flame rats drop black oil sometimes.

>>717259846

Make a temporary one straight away, just put up a crafting table and storage in the cafeteria.

Then you decide if u want to stay there or move security office later.

>>717259846
right after leaving cafeteria unless you want to stay there

>>717248829 (OP)
i'd fucking let him watch me too, as long as he used that suit to wipe

This game makes me want to play black mesa again or at least something like it.

oh..

oh wait.

there isn't anything like half life I forgot

i just disabled the xray thing in cascade labs but the next area is full of turrets. am i meant to disable the turrets before going through there?

Can someone explain to an absolute retard like me, what is this game, and is it worth playing?

>>717261565
nvm i just brute forced it

I think a point-to-point survival crafting game like this is a pretty cool idea. Too bad my friends got cold feet.

>>717261884
this guy is a demon, right?

>>717261565
The control tower is where you disable them, you have to dodge a few turrets to get to it after the xray barrier

>>717262045
just your fellow friendly coworker, nothing to worry about

i just got to manufacturing and its kicking my ass bros :(

>>717262107
Build FORGE armour, a scrapshot and always keep a rad suit on you.

Do not bother trying to melee order soldiers, but do cut up their bodies until you have 10 human arms

>>717262107
soldiers are weak to getting spear'd in the noggin

>>717262045

>>717261884

>>717262220
>Do not bother trying to melee order soldiers
Lol. Lmao. Peccary club one or two shots them with the bull rush attack.

Hope they add more fun/harmless entities and weirder portal worlds, the SCP-inspiration can really add some interesting things gameplay-wise.

>>717262450
yeah i did that, but it seems you have to dodge a few turrets just before you get to the control panel. wasn't sure if i was going the wrong way or not

>>717262668
I would rather they expand the existing ones than add new ones at this point in time. they are all very short and most don't have something to come back for later other than materials

>>717262668
I really like the idea of the Amnesia Threshold and the way it was handled gameplay wise, any other game would just have you walk through willy nilly, no consequences.
However, I did expect to be randomly teleported to somewhere I unlocked with my needs randomized and gear missing/new gear to imply I went on some wild adventure I don't remember, possibly in peril.

>>717248829 (OP)
This is the worst optimized game I've ever played.

fuck why am I so retarded? I just can't resist smashing them

>>717263238
I don't know a game that runs worse for me (or on par) that looks as bad as Abiotic does

>>717263039

tired of games that look like they come from the year 1999 that have garbage optimisation

>>717248829 (OP)
What is this game, I seen it on the PS+ page

>>717263303
>>717263295
>>717263272
>>717263039
it's so bad, this 2002 looking game should not run at 45 fps on a 3080ti

>>717263392
I get 90 fps on a 9070 XT. It looks worse than Half Life 2.

>>717263424
I'm on 4k but still

I was running up and hitting them in the face with a hammer.

Damn, that lettuce veggie wrap really fills you up

>Moving Box blocks me into a closet
>AGAIN
Give me some way to tell this faggot to fuck off PLEASE
I dont care if I can't kill it just let me stop thos stupid piece if shit from blocking me from moving
Or just make friendly NPCs like it, Grayson and the chef girl not block my movement, she blocked me into my kitchen for five minutes before I said fuck it and used my teleporter to get out

>>717258124
The reactor cafeteria has the same pros and cons. I like the mornings because you get a schizo on the PA system

>>717264007
It is, but its pretty quick. Most annoying part is darkworld portals always plop you at the entrance but at least there's lots of shortcuts and once you get the level 4 door open its basically over

>>717263039
>>717263295
>>717263392
try voices of the void. that one's somehow even worse, and the dev is retarded to boot.
which is a shame because the premise is fun.

>>717258817
I did this but with a laser emitter. Blocking incoming damage gives crazy fortitude

>>717264125
>chef girl not block my movement, she blocked me into my kitchen for five minutes
she just wants you to eat, anon.
why didnt you do that for her?

>>717264170
how spoopy is the reaper

I love these enemies. Kind of feels like a goofy dark souls stand off.

>>717264180
I know, I tried to play that on my school laptop, and while it isn't a strong machine, I wasn't expecting to play a game that looks like that at 11 fps

>>717264180
Voices only really gets bad if you load up the signal room with all the shit you find laying around like everyone who plays the game inevitably does.
It also gets worse if you buy the 3d printer and fill it with imported models of naked anime women

>>717263889
F anon, also don't sleep with a lodestone fragment in your inventory

>>717264245

>>717248829 (OP)
I don't really want any spoilers but I am wondering if I am going to get any other "home base" zone other then the safe zone you get in the level 1 between cafeteria and first security trader. Kist want to start building but I have a suspicion game will force me to move on

>>717264386
I built at the security hut by the cafeteria, its worked out well so far

>>717264251
https://youtu.be/GTomMm61Ixw?t=5

how do you restore hunger in the early game? I have no way to cook (and don't know how)

>>717264386
Yes there's other safe zone locations you will come across but the game is also designed in such a way that the maps loop back into itself with shortcuts and other mean so it's really on you to move on when you feel the need to.

>>717264623
there is a stove with a pan in the cafeteria, you can cook meat there

>>717264623
The cafeteria at the start has a kitchen with an industrial stove and pans you can cook on

>>717264623
Bash up computers and grab some metal pipes off the wall and you should get the makeshift stove and frying pan BPs, you can also get a free pan in the kitchen right at the start

I think the only thing I don't like about this game are the spooky monsters that follow you forever, always makes me feel like I have to be at red alert at all times.

>>717264136
>I like the mornings because you get a schizo on the PA system
This. It's like starting your day on /v/

>>717265763
Just don't let the tarasque mate or it will cause another big bang

>>717265763

>>717265675
hope you got an electricity thrower

>>717265763
he's a big guy

>>717265114
Leyak really isn't that bad and you get x-ray towers soon after. It's literally just remember to look around every 15 minutes or so when you hear moaning

>>717266013
This is very true but I'm just a huge, absentminded scaredy-cat and the last time I played my towers would randomly lose power and I'd have to reconnect them.

>>717266072
Use batteries

>>717265114
Fuck, why did I read this? Now I don't want to play the game. I was too much of a pussy to play Alien Isolation because of mechanic like that

>>717266152
I do have batteries, it's just that when I leave and come back the towers are unpowered even though my base has remained powered. That's probably been fixed anyway.

>>717266170
I still love the game in spite of that, it's kind of cool to have a survival crafting game where you're always going from A to B.

Leyak not that bad to counter, just use headphones

what's your early game food supposed to even be? the game won't let me cook the aliens

>>717266374
the aliens

>>717266374
butcher the corpses with a knife

>>717266374
chop them up with a knife

>>717266374
You can cook their meat directly on frying pans. Once you get cooking level 3 you can start making soups which give various buffs and way more value. A list of soup recipes can be found in your journal.

>>717266374
you can't use the net and stomp, you have to smack them with a weapon then carve the corpse with a knife

>>717266374
vending machine snacks

>PATHE MATHOS
>FALSE FRIEND

>>717266374
Why can't you cook the aliens? Early game your best food is gonna be alien drumsticks. I'd recommend saving up your peccary chops so that you can make peccary sausages with them, they last a lot longer because you wont have good ways to keep food before it rots. And if things get desperate, there's always vending machine snacks

is laser fixed?

>>717266403

>>717266517
>>717266526
I'm getting filtered by the food system so bad. I put the pan on the stove, the meat in the pan and it says "can't be cooked". It's the sort of "pork chop" piece you get when you carve the headcrabs.
>>717266598
I don't understand why I can't cook them. It's making a sizzling sound but the game just tells me "cannot cook: item name".

>>717266756
ignore the popup, just leave it there to cook until it cooks

>>717266756
you do this then you wait for it to change colour.

>>717266814
lmao ok nice bait

>>717266756
Read it again, it says "cannot bake". It's a bug, you can ignore it.

>>717266756
the popup seems to be a bug. the meat will cook eventually

>>717266903
are you the retard who was pretending he couldn't open the cafeteria door?

>>717265859
I have a containment unit 91

I throw darts.

>>717266814
how long does it take, roughly?
>>717266946
no
>>717266905
I'm playing in french, what it says translates to "can't cook". "ne peut pas cuire"

>>717264386
>>717264527
So cafeteria is the "best" safe zone or are there better?

>>717266341
If you have Kylie in a neural chip and have upgraded it to have voice synth then she will also tell you when it's around

>>717267070
bigger meat takes longer, probably like a minute for a drumstick?

>>717267070
like 45s to 1m30 depending on how big the food is. It changes sound and colour when it cooks.

When can I build teleporters?
I'm at the hydroplant

>>717267070
>how long does it take, roughly?
You'll know it when it happens. It'll make a new sound and visibly change, just take it off before it burns.

>>717267091
anything in the office sector that isn't in the path of bot patrol routine is fair game

Oh, interesting. Here's that warning in a real language.

Anyone wanna play with me >.< uwu

>>717267227
yeah there's no 1 word translation for "bake" in french somehow (I question how this is even possible), so I guess this is bound to happen

>>717267091
There are equivalent save zones. It depends on what the player is looking for. The starting central hub area is unique in that carts can be recalled near Warren's outpost and if you're playing on a multiplayer server, dead players dropped inventory will also migrate to Warren after a certain period of time

I have NEVER fished in this game.

>>717271223
No, you need heavy blunt levels to unlock it but you can do the charge with any weapon.

is it a good idea to build a "base" inside the security room with the coffee machine by the place where you basically start hte game after the tutorial? im assuming the next room is the main hub that connects to all the other sectors
or should you have multiple
playing solo

so far its a lot of running from a to b collecting all the items you can carry and running back to base dumping it

also the food is fucking useless gives like +10 so you need to eat like 10 times, one porkchop at a time

>>717271308
That security room is a pretty decent and easy starting place, and you can make it decently safe against the robot plus invasions.

>>717271174
Eat a greyab seed or any meal with the seeds in them. The wraps are some of the best food options in the game

>>717271308
basing in/near the tram area is a good idea
I like basing in the left corner of that starting plaza because it leads down to labs

>>717271431
I planted a seed to get the fruit, still waiting for it to grow.

>>717271308
One of the better bases and my current one. If you get a Controller you can raise and lower the shutters which block any enemy from getting in that side. The robot never comes through the locker room either so you're always safe aside from portals and invasions which you can upgrade your bench for. Locker room is good for early game (and late game) storage, vending machines for reliable food, and the place is spacious. Only issue I have with it is the glass floors make placing furniture annoying with collision.

>>717271308
It's fine as a starting base. I have a home base and outposts in different locations for quick access to certain materials

>>717271223
Heavy weapons are heavy weapons no matter the type they take from, level 7 blunt lets you bash with blunt weapons and heavy weapons.

yo the ammo trade is fucking insane lmao

12 9mm bullets max trade? are you guys smoking fucking crack...

>>717263272
Will Timmy ever answer for his crimes against the gaming community?

>>717271804
don't bother with any of the actual guns except shotguns until end game, they're trash and ammo is too rare and expensive

>>717271969
What's the best ranged weapon outside of guns? I only really like the magnum and pistol anyways.

>>717271308
it is literally purpose built as a room to have a base, you see screenshots of peoples bases in that spot all the time... it's where MY base is

it's a great spot desu, just enough room, the hallways create chokepoints for defenses.. once you get jetpacks the upper balcony can be used to exit and enter the base rapidly like a fuckin docking bay

built in coffee machine, lots of flat room, second floor.. the Shooting range is a little shit unless you use it literally for that purpose, it's kinda awkward to get over the desk and into the range part lol

10/10 base location if not a little over used

>>717272069
Basically all guns are dogshit so if that's your bar any science weapon will beat them out. The Grinder shits out damage and if you have the trinket that regens battery passively energy/laser pistols can be your EDC for everything from popping boxes or killing every enemy in the game.
the Deatomizer is also just an "I win" button. No fucking around with skill levels, or hoping your enemy drops one fucking bullet for you to use.

>>717272167
>once you get jetpacks the upper balcony can be used to exit and enter the base rapidly like a fuckin docking bay
you don't need a jetpack, there's a zipline there

>>717271308
anywhere in that general area is a good spot
you can build barricades to sort of formulate any chunk of the area into a base
I built mine up the stairs from there in the conference room, and eventually expanded outwards into the hallway and roof of the security office
Food gets easier to manage as you get more materials, and later on if you truly don't feel like engaging with the cooking buffs you can just place a couple of things that can just generate you infinite food without having to harvest or carry meat

>>717271969
there's not any reason for that though, at least once you get to trade for ammo you'd be at the point where you can grind for materials and it shouldn't really matter how much you can get if you wanna use the guns as your weapons

like I can just make a deatomizer and carry a laser collector with me and delete the entire sector, limiting the ammo for guns doesn't really matter anymore in like mid-game.. I feel like the trade should be in FULL STACKS not single fucking bullets

>>717271308
They have purpose built base areas but if there's a plug socket available you can build a base there. Any corridor any location you can build in.

>>717272393
>at least once you get to trade for ammo
Anon you can get like, four pistol bullets per week from the vendor. Or 10 whole 556 rounds.

>>717272242
Deatomizer was on my mind immediately. I should actually both with the chargable pistols since I'll have a spot for the purple trinket again after I upgrade Kylie.

>>717272069
Deatomizer. Grinder and magbow if you can tolerate the ammo sources

>>717272251
yeah but you can't get BACK UP with a zipline.. I've had a jetpack since before it was accessable only in late game/reactors so I kinda cheated my way to high mobility

BUT what you can ALSO do, is build some bridges in the rafters across from the balcony (an add some to that too) and make a jump point, put a snag vine seed on the platform so anyone can get up or down and if you're not carrying a Gravity Cube at all times WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH YOUR LIFE

then just hop across the gap

Can you grow potato now?

>>717272591
what do you mean now, you always could

>>717272591
I don't recall never being able to.

>>717272591
you mean eggs?

>>717272521
that's what I mean, at that point you will have access to options that are gunna fuck up enemies anyway as long as you have ammo or even just fucking power (which is literally infinite and transportable)

the trader guy should maybe show up at mid-game and trade for STACKS of ammo, not single fucking bullets

>>717272532
If you have the weight capacity, bring a charged laser collector and screwdriver for portable laser charge. Remember also that equipped and hotbar items have a weight reduction with skills

This game is absurdly gay when it comes to fall damage.

>>717272706
you mean "eggs"?

>>717272069
The skink is pretty good if you don't mind lugging around a barrel of radioactive waste to reload and pair it with the pet trinket, other than that deatomizer, magbow, grinder, quill rifle and quantum pick are obvious answers.

>>717270836
why not? i just want a cute eboy to play viddy with

>>717272984
>think i can drop down from a balcony to the level below with maybe a sprain or two
>instantly die

>>717272984
this shits got the fucking Elden Ring style of fall damage where you fall 12 feet and get hurt slightly with a barely noticeable amount of damage, fall 13 feet and fucking DIE INSTANTLY

I swear the amount of times I feel like I'm gently falling to the floor at like 7 mph and just instantly die.. it's gotta be a bug with like falling velocity

>>717273173
so it's true to life

Thinking about making a list of things that really should be deployable objects.

no good reason why I can't package these shelves to use in my base as decor

>>717273173
>>717273189
>drop from a slight elevation
>broken legs
>fall down gently down a ramp
>just fucking die

>>717273310
I just want to be able to hand craft a table sized similarly to the antique table in places like the train.

>>717273310
For that matter, having dynamic storage display, like shelves that work like chests, displaying what's in them.

>>717273310
so someone else pointed out that these earlier sections of the game have some 'legacy' like furniture that cannot be removed or are part of the map geometry

there's a few things out there like this and another reason I think is TV's and other 'world building' things are placed on them and made to be hard to break so its not just laying on the floor before a player sees it? idk probably the former

>>717273426
the night stand being the only compact table and also not being renewable sucks

>>717273532
I think it would be neat if you just gained the ability to make any of the furniture once you first find or deconstruct it

like it's just getting added to our compendium and we fabricate it ourselves... doesn't really seem far fetched for what we're playing lmao

>>717272984
>You gain brouzouf
>You gain brouzouf
>You gain brouzouf

lmao what does feeding the crawling coworker weirdo even do

>>717273523
enemies don't attack furniture (directly) unless it's been placed by the player

>>717273148
why would posting that get you that?

>>717273747
you get random resources sometimes

>>717273747
feed him coffee for an achievement and then you can just farm stealth xp on him by hitting him from behind

>>717273754
yeah so it's probably more likely its just old stuff from earlier versions that never got removed or changed I think

like those few wooden "TV stands" that have room for like a DVD player or something.. those are indestructible and you can't fit anything below it lol

>>717273747
sometimes he'll give you a stapler or pens

>>717273747
feeding?

no we deatomize him

So what exactly is the coworker, another shapeshifter?

I'm finding it hard to have an excuse to use ranged weapons when the carbon pickaxe running attack still oneshots every enemy with a headshot, the hydroplant bots take a whopping two hits to their pack to kill.

>can't use the nukevac on hydrobot grenades

What's in the containment cell across form the Kizz cola machine? I don't remember it being there pre 1.0.

>>717248829 (OP)
I keep seeing you fags shill this. Is it even good, or is it just another survival crafting slopfest?

>>717275352
One of the rare very good survival crafting slopfests.

>>717275406
What makes it better than all the others?

>>717275534
atmosphere, exploration, non punishing crafting, customisable difficulty.

>>717275534
I bought it this morning and I agree that it's good. So far anyway. It's different because it's a handcrafted world with a lot of detail instead of the usual open (fields) map of survival crafting games.

>>717275534
Actual thought was put into designing the world and how it interconnects with itself for one thing. It's pretty fun to explore.

>>717275352
I played on a multiplayer server and found that people who engaged with the game's world and story kept playing. The people who only engaged with the gameplay dropped off

Is this still fun solo or do I need friends to have fun?

>>717248829 (OP)
The graphics of this game look all over the place and inconsistent. They really should just turn on the texture filtering.

>>717275831
It's fine solo

explain this game to me

>come back to my base with a million headcrabs attacking my furniture and some purple energy next to them
what is even happening

>>717273791
they typically don’t materialize out of thin air, anon. gotta ask if you want something

>>717276007
half life 1 + scp + eating and shitting simulator + you're a weak scientist

>>717276007
Half-Life scientist survival simulator. You craft gadgets and other makeshift science weapons to defend yourself from aliens, enemy soldiers, and other exotic forces as you attempt to escape the facility. No randomly generated nonsense.

>>717276185
>>717276248
is it single/multi/coop?

>>717275534
The survival and crafting shit taking a back seat

>>717276328
It can be played both single and multi. It's sandbox settings can be customized for both experiences

>>717276328
It's playable solo or co-op
Co-op as usual is more fun unless you're a loner
But playing alone in the facility has its own atmosphere

>>717276328
Playable both solo and in co-op with a ton of gameplay settings you can change if you don't like the defaults. Personally I think the default values are fine for both solo and co-op (aside from turning on more loot respawns for co-op), but you're free to change them whenever you want.

>>717275534
Survival and crafting are in service to the progression and gameworld rather than the usual "build the Shitbox 500 using 300 scrap metal and 200 rare item (only found as a drop from one enemy you must also farm to get enough of) to get to the next area."

>>717248829 (OP)
is this game an actual good survival crafting game, or is it just le wacky science brooo retarded half life clone garbage shittery niggery faggotry?
asking for a friend.

is there a fix for the mousepointer moving everytime you open the inventory.

to understand what i mean
open inventory place cursor in center of the screen
close inventory
use the mouse and look to your left or right 90*
now open inventory and look at where your pointer is at

its so fucking annoying trying to find where it is everytime i open the inventory

>need to have a higher level in cooking to put things in a pot of water on a stove

2 hours in and it's not really wacky at all, but it is obviously pretty much half life in terms of the setting. i dont know what to answer to the rest of that

>>717276638
Lose the buzzwords and ask a serious question

>>717277203
power outlets turn off at night, eventually that wont be an issue with batteries though

does this game have much replayability?

me and a friend have been playing for 12 hours we just got the tram station key and cleared the train world
a third friend is going to join and we don't know the best way to ease them into an existing game with how complex the map has gotten

>>717277203
No. The power just cuts out at 9 PM and will be out until 6 AM the following day. You just somehow missed that part where they explain that to you.

>>717277203
power to the facility shuts off at night, craft a battery or wait until morning

>>717262224
how do i get a spear? i dont even think ive got one recipe for any spears yet am i retarded

>>717277349
I would just start a new server, thats not that far in. Personally I hate joining games like this where I don't get to experience it from the start and learn as I go.

>>717277020
Bro just fuck up the hundreds of orbs in the hydroplant Neutrino Detector. Every orb drops 4 glass and there are unironically 200 of them.

>>717277447
if you dont have the recipe for the makeshift spear, try packaging a standing lamp. You need that for ome of the materials

can't you prevent food from turning bad by putting it in a fridge? I've been putting this alien meat in the fridge but it doesn't seem to do anything

>>717277447
pick up a tall standing lamp

>>717277349
While the devs added the database in 1.0 to be able to revisit entries it's not a substitute for your friend experiencing the story events in person. You can try different builds or base locations using the experience you've gained from playing the game

>>717277203
Every night the main power will be shut off which will turn off the power to outlets and lights. This is just temporary and they will turn back on in the morning (so a few minutes). You can keep powering things overnight by crafting a battery (early game is Makeshift) and plugging that into the outlet, then plugging whatever it is you want powered into the battery. This will keep it powered as normal during the day, but at night you can get some use out of the object connected to the battery until it runs out.

I'm still early on, but I'm getting a whole bunch of throbbing light orbs near the pool. Is this some kind of event or is my GPU doing funky things?

>>717277701
No, fridges just slow decay and only when powered.

>>717277701
On default settings it only slows down decay when powered

>>717277849
If it's at night, those are Anomalies which you can collect in test tubes. They help with farming stuff and don't mean anything / do anything negative to you.

>>717277701
it slows the decay of food but doesn't prevent it

>>717277701
1. Make sure it's plugged and powered 24/7
2. It only slows decay considerably
3. You can salvage spoiled food and the result is just as valuable mid to late game

>>717248829 (OP)
>Game looks like that
>Needs 1660 minimum fucking 3070 recommended
Unreal Engine 5 is a fucking joke

>>717278005
I have a 1080 and it runs fine

>>717278005
its unironically only because of raytracing. you can turn it off but they clearly had it in mind for the aesthetics

>>717278005
I'm running the game on a gtx 970 without any major issues.

>>717278005
a 6gb 3050 can handle it
a gt730 can handle it

>>717277349
That's pretty early onto the game, so if your friend hasn't played up to that point then it'd be okay to restart. Anything past that area and anyone joining is going to be thrown for a loop.

Gotta say, I'm not enjoying the hydroplant. It's really tedious.

absolute shame we dont have deployable versions of the computers and shit you can destroy. I want a comfy office but I have no monitors other than TVs to put on the desk

>>717278687
Probably the worst section of the game imo

Fish till you level 15, The big monster will see you as a friend if you do that, Or you can use the jump pack and gravity cube method.

>>717279408
make hydro 1000 times better by setting up a secondary base somewhere in the middle building and create a second personal teleporter for it
don't forget to build a recharger there as well

>>717279448
No matter what you gotta go in the water. Resources are in the water.

>>717277821
Adding to this, make multiple batteries, and connect them through each other before the strip. Makeshift batteries have a tiny capacity.

>>717279673
I know that it just gets you to the tower without all that swimming, Then you can raid the area around it without too much worry of Mr. Fishy coming after you.

>>717279959
I play in a multiplayer server and someone else daisy chained batteries so I didn't learn how the circuitry works. How do I git gud with lasers?

>>717280290
All you need to do is hook up the wall outlet to one backup battery. Connect the backup battery to your laser emitter. Point the laser at your laser to electric converter and daisy chain that cable to power everything in your base 24/7

most efficient way to kill security robots early game?
electricity traps work great but its a bit hard to carry all of them

>>717279079
just jump in from the little outcrop at the bottom of where the hydroplant residence is. hug that left wall and just go straight to the neutrino building. literally never seen it doing this.

>respec resets all your skills to level 3

>>717280634
I just spammed crossbows at it, then when I was able to afford it I used the Thermal Mallet on the charging pod to catch it on fire, then spammed pistol bullets at it.

okay how do I level shooting that won't require me to grind for several hours
maybe it's like project zomboid where each pellet counts for accuracy, so using the scrapshot would be better?

Bit of a spoiler but while playing the game make sure you and your group go back to Flathill every reset to gather more power cells. I've burned through about 20 of them in the last area of the game.

>>717281926
I'm not certain, but it might also have to do with damage dealt.
Also, you're probably in Manufacturing, so Start eating Brains for an EXP boost

>>717281926
range matters iirc
eat brain for xp buff
boil MRE soup for xp buff
I think theres another accuracy xp buff you can get? one of the helmets?

>>717281926
once you unlock the laser pistol in security sector you'll have infinite ammo to train accuracy

>adding a flashlight is a pre-requisite for further weapon upgrades
Im feeling pretty stupid right now.

>>717281973
yeah I did notice that. I wish we could unfoggify the place to make it a nicer walk through but alas

>>717282354
Once you unlock the jump pack/jetpack it's a breeze.

>>717282462
flathill is already full of shortcuts desu
go into arcade, go to roof, grab powercell, walk through portal to get 1st power cell, walk back, drop down and go climb ladder near start to do corn power cell, portal home, you only really need to deal with corn place's giant

>>717276638
it's both

>>717263392
huh? are there like raytracing settings I am missing? I have a 3080 (not ti) and the game is maxed out at 120 fps (my max refresh rate)

How does body part damage actually work against mobs in this game? Like say, you deal damage to the backpack of a bot, leave it at 1 HP
Does the rest of his body still have full HP technically?

>>717282667
From what I can tell, the HP of the head is what determines if something dies. If you were to fully destroy an enemy's arm, any further damage to the arm would instead be transferred to the head's HP instead

>50 hours in-game time
>learned just now that cable rerouting is a thing

>>717276643
guess there is no fix for this shit

>>717282614
Yes game uses lumen and raytracing and it's controlled exclusively by the global illumination setting.

>>717281926
Xp gains for weapon skills is per shot/hit and depend on the target (as well as distance when it comes to throwing). You want a fast weapon and to fight enemies that can fight back like exor monks or soldiers.
Then there is the usual brain, MRE soup and order helmet combo for extra xp.

increase stack size, it makes it easier to loot solo and you still have to deal with weight so its not unbalanced

There's an order helmet that gives xp. The best way is to use laser pistol or deatomizer against shield enemies

>>717283779
We have a friend who we invited to play with us from the beginning. He didn't play with us at all until we got to Hydroplant. He promptly made a full set of magnetic alloy gear, weapons, looted the kylie trinket, and logged out.

>>717283894
We tried and he cooled off a little but at this point the damage is more than done. We were effectively hardstuck on certain crafts because he was speeding through portal worlds the moment they respawned to take all the resources after exhausting the ones in the facility.
It wouldn't have been as bad if he played with our group but he immediately set up his own place, at that point why not just make a solo world

>>717283782
Wut, I don't remember any of those when I first went there

>>717284118
Im afraid I might be becoming that guy. But at least I don't make my own base. I'll just fish for a while next time we play.

I HAVE TO GO
RIGHT
AWAY

>>717283971
It's easy to make it a non issue with hunger/thirst perk, soups that decrease hunger/thirst and cosmo wraps

leveling str has to be the worst shit

>>717258475
>>717283971
i dont find it as bad, usually when it hits its at the point where i need to go home anyway because my inventory is too full

hunger is fine in this game, it's funny to make little soups and stuff and decide which buffs you want and junk. luv my sugary slop

>>717281890
did they ever add an upper bound to the greyeb effect timer?
when I was playing through in early access, I ate about 50 of them since our fridge filled up with them right after we discovered farming, and then had the effect persist for the next ~30 hours of gameplay, even after death

dont understand what the point of foods that can decay are if soup is easy to make and doesnt spoil

>>717284225
If you're putting it there for the group to use and not hoarding it I don't see an issue, I'd much rather have too many screws or rebars because one of my group members is an autist who powerfarms them then a shortage because some guy with metaknowledge shacked up in some secret nook somewhere steals all of it the second it becomes available

>>717284418
Force you to look for food when you want to replenish.
I'm reaching that point actually, my soups are about to run out and my fridge is almost empty.

>>717284494
in the time it takes to cook 10 helpings of normal food (that decays), you can make 20 helpings of soup (that doesnt decay). I just dont see the point of normal food.

>>717284302
idk it was easy for me. I just paced around for a while in the pink encumberance zone. leveling accuracy has been my AIDS thing to level, though that's mostly due to it requiring a lot more setup to level effectively than "walk around loaded down as fuck"

>>717283615
If you're talking about refined carbon then rise has respawning boxes but you can also trade silver scrap from the train at an exchanger in labs

>>717284201
They're in the office cabinets and stuff

>>717284494
If you do even a little bit of farming it's easy to have a fridge full of crap before you even get to a point where you can filter water for unlimited farmworks

>>717284632
this desu

I just go get ingredients every once and a while and then make batches of soups. you can make/get infinite pots to store them in

>>717283782
why the fuck didn't I think of that.

>>717284201

disregard this anon >>717284673

he is either trolling or confused. You need to trade for it until you get much further in the game

>>717284673
Not the damn rubber balls, the lab carbon balls

>>717284632
It's quicker and simpler to just slap a meat slab onto a pan or go to the cooking station and click the button to make a burrito or whatever than it is to fill a pot with water and individually pull all of the ingredients into your inventory and add them to the pot.
Some of the regular cooking items also give you buffs, but those are usually secondary.

>>717284872
>ndividually pull all of the ingredients into your inventory and add them to the pot
Bro just look at the pot and hold E

>>717283615
run the train level for silver scrap every time the portal worlds reset and then trade it in the labs

>>717283615
carbon?
>farm train for silver
>farm caanan for silver
>trade for carbon in labs.

If you make soup you end up with no cooking xp. I had to grill max to unlock the oven later on.

>>717284867
Oh, lmao
Yeah sorry
You trade for those in the lab for silver, my bad

why would you build anywhere other than office sector?
all shortcuts go back to it

>>717285259
Hydroplant living quarters is comfy as fuck.
Plus I can just personal teleport back to the old office base if I need to

>>717284867
https://youtu.be/zr5ZbLu-Ghc

>>717264386
every area loops back to the office sector eventually and there is a form of fast travel you will eventually unlock.

>>717285259
atmosphere, variety. I'm gonna build a base at the top of the furniture store for the womfy rain.

>>717285259
I just got to labs but with 3 people its feeling tedious to explore for only 20 minutes then needing to go back to base to deposit stuff. I feel like I want a small base in Labs just to cut down on travel time.

>>717285583
carry a cart with you m8
>dump everything into cart(s) as you loot
>go home to office
>press the cart teleport in the lobby
>free delivery of your shit

>>717285701
I have been using the forklift. The cart seems okay but it doesnt actually make transferring things faster. I dont think I am at the point where I can use the cart transporter.

>>717285583
Do you have 2x+ stack size on? It's honestly so nice.

>>717285790
its available from the beginning, the button is next to the security guy with all the peas

>>717285259
I've been building sub bases in each sector as a loot drop off point during exploration. I take the key components and whatever common drops I need back to main base.

>>717285790
>I dont think I am at the point where I can use the cart transporter.
its like the first thing you unlock, it's the button next to the security office in the hub
it only really works if your base is somewhere near the hub though

thought i was being clever...

Is the core keeper area in the mines worth it? I noped out as soon as I saw the thing

>>717285943
Three drawer filing cabinet, thank me later

>>717282883
>>717283545
my understanding was that only the security robots have that quirk, the wiki states
>Note that unlike most enemies, their torso reaching 0 health doesn't kill them. When this occurs, further hits will damage their head health pool instead
its just that human enemies have armor and shields on top of their HP

>>717284302
? Just shake machines?

>>717286018
kino

>>717285943
>>717286018
This. Put a big cabinet in the path of the right hand laser next to the door. Put the laser crystal on the side close-ish to the top.

>>717264251
I hate them specifically for this. You can tell they were designed to do this to distract you while other enemies move in on you, but when they're alone, it's just a huge waste of time.

>>717275534
Its basically subnautica in half-life 1/SCP with Voices of the Void gfx, another one of the few good survival crafting games.

>>717286521
or that works too lol

>>717264180
Game would be fantastic if it wasn't ruined by the dev's porn addiction forcing him to add cutesy shit and aliens to an otherwise really cool game. Complete aesthetic death.

endgame 70hr base, hope to come back here someday
what a good game

fun game

I really hope the Hex Armor gets an upgrade when the Flesh Anteverse drops. I love how it looks, and the bonus it gives is too good to give up.

I collecting all the employee training TV's and am setting them up beside my bed. I might be developing severe schizophrenia, but at least I'll be employee of the month.

is farming worth it early?
i have to run super far to get water

>>717286827
I'm sure we will, the ending is very much an "ending" for GATE but not the story
I also demand they let us in here

>>717277063

I sense a distinct lack of snacks

>chilling in base
>hey
GRAYSOONNN

>>717287274

There are also several references to synaptic labs that is also blocked off the same way and not to mention the missing person at the end.

They seem to have set up several different things.

>>717285943
>>717286018
>>717286521
whats this for?

>>717287862
opens the Rise portal, only unique resource there is eggs

Is the laser lab actually worth going into, I don't really want to farm more shit to make the thermite

boy I hope I don't fall in

What's the purpose of the craftable portal toilet anyways

>>717288382
I actually fucking did.

>>717288356
Brother you need like 7 antethermite across the game. Get used to refarming shit. Gel is probably one of the easiest things to snag piles of.

>>717288498
Sucks the shit out of you and occasionally teleports you to shit dimension.

>>717288627
>you need like 7 antethermite
Damn it...

>>717287206
i gave up on it until I got access to water filtration systems

>>717280514
Thanks anon. I'll try it out.

>>717287862
>>717287959
>only unique resource is eggs
good to know. wasn't sure if i'd gone there too early or i had missed something

>>717287206
Yes and no. As soon as you get to labs find a greyeb and start growing it. Otherwise, save your seeds.

containment bots will actually snag order fellas and put them in holding cells.

>>717276778
>in multiplayer the flashbang occurs for everyone in the server regardless of where they are

Polished Antique Shotgun my beloved.

>>717283779
I was an early-access fag and I spent most of my time grinding fishing and keeping players fed while gently steering them in the right direction if they asked.

>>717285259
Hydroplant has a 16 burner kitchen and once you get access to teleporters you aren't further away from any other base.

I built a teleporter hub in the maintenance closet behind the cafeteria, I can get to every single portal world and location in a couple of seconds.

>>717287206
Yes. Package all water coolers with clean water and take them to your base for farming. Whenever you're dirty, wash yourself with tainted water. Survive on soups and super tomatoes until you get water filters. If you run dangerously low on clean water you can collect tainted water from water sources and boil it on a stove for clean water but it's tedious and you only get a portion back.

>>717289348
is there a better version of the personal teleporter?

>>717287428
found their dev log, not sure what other subplots you have besides what the other staff went off to do?

>>717289407
Carrying 2 personal teleporters.

>curse this flesh and its needs
are they talking about femboys

>>717289407
You get the teleporter pads when you get past hydro and you can have up to 26 two-way portals up at a time

>>717289348
>once you get access to teleporters
Yeah you know right at the end of the fucking game unless you mean juggling sixteen fucking beersteins, multiple per person if you have any friends.

based

>>717289613
god damn i've been wanting something like that for over 30 hours

>>717285259
Flathill has an arcade

>safe
>respawnable fuel cells
>respawnable office supplies
>respawnable food sources and salt
>respawnable money
>respawnable pots and pans

sure it doesn't have tram access but I can just put a crafting bench at the tram station and teleport there

hans, get me the shit
we have crafting to do

>>717287428
My current guesses for additional content
>Hydroplant has a portal in a deep ravine in the water that'll take us to the Bahamas
>3rd layak, also in the Bahamas
>Meatverse and other hinted Anteverses
>Synaptics, Manufacturing West, Curie and the other containment.

>>717289629
Well yeah but you asked if there was any reason to build anywhere else. If you build near a shortcut you can get everywhere through by taking it to office, you don't need to stay in office. I like the view from the conference room near the Dark Lens in Labs.

>Dr. Derek Manse reporting, Research Director, GATE Cascade Research Facility.
>We first encoutered IS-4199 during a company retreat in Memphis, USA, when an instance of IS-4199 made contact with Dr. Tang, demanding something from him in an incomprehensible language, and when Dr.Tang was unable to comply, the instance of IS-4199 became highly aggressive and had to be neutralized, it was a miracle Dr.Tang manage to came out of it alive.
>Those creatures surprisingly mimic human behavior, albeit vaguely. Instances of IS-4199 lives in group, almost like families of some kind, they sometime wear clothes and are able to use crude tools, if only as weapons, and seem to feed on large doses of opoids and junk food.
>Upon returning to Cascade, I attempted to communicate our new findings with Dr.Jager, but to my surprise, it became clear that multiple instances of IS-4199 have not only breached the facility, but started impersonating the staff.
>Finding those impersonators turned out to be less tricky than anticipated however, as beside their very obvious physical appearance, Dr. Cahn managed to come up with a trigger word which, when repeated at regular interval at a high enough volume, causes all instances of IS-4199 to become highly aggressive.

>>717289629
I had a personal teleport network set up when I got access to laboratory

Love the game but honestly, what the fuck were the devs thinking with pic related? It ruined the entire game for me, jesus fucking christ.

>>717290503
AIIEEEEEE

>>717286610
I've found they can be a good meatshield when keeping them in front of the guys with guns. Am also playing on apocalyptic, so it's generally not too slow.
God I wish I saved a clip of this, one of the funnier things I've seen in the game.

>>717290503
Why the FUCK would you FUCKING POST IT DUDE

>>717289910
>spoilers
Would be too good and after that “ending” I have little faith in deep flop

>>717290503
just look at that little faggot

>>717290503
Fuck you dude I was having a good day then you go ahead and post this shit.

my friends don't want to buy, can pirated copies play multi easily?

my friend's about to host a server. what are must have settings?

>>717291742
default is fine for multi, up the difficulty if you're epic gamers who can handle some extra enemy spawns

>>717291742
i went with 2x stack size and 1.5x XP gain. also personally went with no durability loss on death, but i feel like maybe that was unnecessary with how easy the game is.
basically, if you play smart, the difficulty of the game shouldn't need to be tweaked. but i do recommend you adjust the settings that lower grind as fuck that shit

>>717291742
You're going to want to turn up the respawn rate of items and item stacks. The game is balanced for fewer players so gearing up a group is hard as players are competing for resources on the default settings

>>717291867
>>717291889
someone earlier said to increase item spawn rates. thoughts? we'll be 2 players

did nobody on the dev team test the search function on the craft bench why does it activate hotkeys jesus

>>717291742
max out stack size
increase learning rate because you won't be able to grind when your friend is offline
lower food spoilage rate and fridge deterioration=0 are comfier and means less fighting for food at the start

>>717292025
is it simple loot respawning? I can't find the setting you're talking about
