i just beat flathill and suddenly there's fog in my facility, i had to barricade myself in a room because there was some fucking monstrosity and its illusions trying to kill me. i thought this game wasnt a horror game

>>717297816

this.

really wish there was a hacking minigame because at least then people wouldn't do this

>>717297949
This but black fog
I can't see SHIT

>>717297949
There is a button close to the hack panel that opened Flathill that can vent the fog away early.

You can easily avoid the dangly monsters. They are blind. Like 100% blind. They can't see you even if you walk infront of them. Don't touch them and don't make a sound.

Infinite ammo.
Then again, scrapshot bullets are also infinite when you know where to farm paper and metal/screws.

you can get some in the night realm. also by fishing up inkfish

>>717298558

>>717298558
>The damage looks pitiful
There's 5 instances of damage per shot, if you keep your laser on the target. It's actually pretty good, seeing how you can crank it and it reloads with the energy trinket too.

They did my man Hasta Tria dirty. If Janet didn't have such an itchy trigger finger we could have avoided the ending we got

>breacher corpse is now floating around as if there is no gravity
I'm going to choose to believe there is a lore reason for this even though I know perfectly well that there is not.

Honestly, doing a solo run during the time my friends aren't on makes me appreciate everything more. Having buddies share various duties along with 4x the inventory makes exploration nice along with naturally playing with friends. The only downside is having to grind out multiple keypads and trying to share same loot so we can all get weapons/armor. Playing solo means I get to learn the maps more and understand certain mechanics better along with actually knowing what audio logs are somewhat referencing because I'm there. We came back to 1.0 starting fresh after clearing out the Security sector last time. We only play once a week though and are currently half way through Manufacturing. Solo wise I just beat the furniture store.

I think the biggest QOL this game needs is either autocrafting sub parts for a recipe when you have them or being able to hit back and automatically go back to the recipe instead of looking for it.

without spoilering myslef too much.

Is there any mod/config to increase raid size? Right now its just sad to get a single soldier coming in to die,

>>717299406
me except finding a pool of anteverse juice and being the idiot i am spamming E on it, causing my intestines to instantly fill with alien shit

>>717299718

damn. Thank you but this may be the worse part of the game right now (i'm just before entering the caves)

>>717299889
anon, even if I fool myself into thinking paper is the only near-useless item in the game, everything in this game is worth farming throughout the game.

>>717299948
Be real with me. Does anteverse juice make you have to poop sooner?

The level design is both amazing and horrible.
Every area feels unique and they are all interconnected.
That being said, THE GAME IS A FUCKING LABYRINTH. I'M ALMOST DONE WITH EVERYTHING AND I STILL GET LOST EVERY 5 MINUTES.

>>717299889
hexwood can used for a bunch of tools but you'd only need one of them, if any
the most useful thing are actual wooden dummies for armor stands rather than the shitty skeleton ones
lodestones are used for lots of late game recipes but later enemies start dropping fragments by the dozen so dont go out of your way to farm canaan extensively
>>717300114
yes, i dont know if it's all liquids or just coffee and anteverse juice but they definitely make you poop more
which in hindsight might be useful for shit farming as coffee costs money

>>717299889
>hexwood
>lodestone
you can make teleporter and some endgame items later on , yes its worth to farm both.

>>717299889
put a table & charger near the lodestone you'll thank me later.

>>717300358
The sugar high buff makes you poop faster, which most sugary things give. Rootbeer floats are probably the easiest way to get it since the ingredients are easy to get and it's a good drink to have anyway.

You can craft a tackle box to speed up the time it takes for a fish to bite on the line and fishing gear that gives boosts to types of catch rates but nothing that sufficiently improves the fishing minigame

To be fair to this guy, I have a horrible sense of direction and end up looping back to my original position in every level. Happened in Office, Manufacturing, Labs and Security.

I've taken to leaving up signs saying "This way to X".

>>717304593
How much repacking and base building have you done?

>>717304489
i'd say getting through manufacturing is probably this game's "tutorial over" moment, so its normal for it to feel like its getting much tougher

>I've taken to leaving up signs saying "This way to X".
how can you be so smart but so retarded simultaneously? i love it

>>717304638

>>717304654
Not a lot. I'm still chilling in the office because it's so close to the trams/reactor pipe. Was thinking of moving to Torii once I get a good teleport network set up.

>>717304724

THIS POST WAS MADE BY THE GRAVITY CUBE + JUMP PACK GANG

The negroid wiki claims aquariums keep fish indefinitely, but they still decay anyway.

>>717308232
>taking the coward's path

>>717308262
You need a single industrial battery or stagger makeshift batteries to keep an aquarium powered throughout the night or it'll lose power around 2-3am and start decaying.

>>717308262
The in-game description also claims that.
Are you sure that the aquarium is getting an uninterrupted flow of power, even during the night?

>>717308364
>>717308358
I have five aquariums on a single industrial battery, I haven't done anything else big so I forgot power isn't infinite after moving past makeshifts

>>717308468
>5 on a single battery
Industrial can power 2 devices a night, split it up to 3.

>>717308570
Does every device use 50 power or something? I was just gonna upgrade to carbon and call it a day.

>be in residences
>try to find the way
>manage to accidentally get ouf of fucking bounds before finding the intended path
>fall into the void

early access really is like a curse for a game's endgame, isn't it?

>>717308570
NTA but is 1 makeshift battery good enough for any device overnight, or are there different power draws? I've just been plunking a makeshift down beside every appliance and I feel like it just works, no reason to waste resources on the bigger ones.

>>717308180
I was actually considering moving into Torii. I have no idea why i have access to it, isn't it supposed to be DLC/supporter pack stuff?

>>717308358
>>taking the coward's path
>taking the slow boring path

>>717308751
supporter's pack was automatically given to anyone who owned an early access copy of the game, including people who bought keys generated before the 1.0 release

>>717298736
Does leveling up fishing speed up the minigame? If not, it definitely should. 3 fights per fish is excessive.

>>717308721
>>717308736
For battery tiers it goes by devices per night, something like 0.6 for makeshift, 2 for industrial, and 8 for carbon. When you're plugging shit in early game do Battery -> plug -> battery -> device and you can do 3 devices all night with 4 makeshifts.

>>717308751
If you bought it EA you get everything.

>>717308736
makeshift is not enough for one device, had to use two when I started using fridges

>>717308736
Fuck makeshift. Use carbon, minimum... unless you don't care if it goes unpowered for a couple hours a night.

>>717306163
there's an exchanger that trades Plutonic Carapaces for plutonic blood, similar to the exchangers that swap silverware for carbon
given every explosive enemy drops that if you kill them before it explodes, you can get a lot of plutonic blood

Somehow she is the creepiest fucker in the place

>>717308825

Before I exhaust myself with logistics, is Torii even a good base spot?

I wish she carried more porkchops than that. I always have an excess of exor hearts.

>>717309338
The most millenial coded character in the game. Her dialogue makes me cringe and my friends hit it every single time she's in our base.

>>717309379
Torii is fine, if you like the vibe and don't mind the run back to the portal. Every base in the Office is top tier for progression since every sector has a shortcut back to it.

>>717309384
Craft it 3 times to make 9-12, just in case you miss.

>>717309379
Without portals, not really unless you want to add an extra 30 sec to 1 minute extra travel time to and from base. Plenty of space and looks pretty though and has immediate access to a pond for fishing.

It would be nice to have some more decorative food

>>717312052
>milk sacs required to make the fun cooking recipes are tied to a single, uncommon enemy type
To be fair, you have a pretty short path to the animal pens near particle labs. A few sows spawn there.

>>717312052
Yeah making non-soup foods makes little sense when food spoils so quickly. You can set fridges to never spoil in the settings if you want. You also get a freezer but that's near the end of the game

>>717312052
I just turned off spoiling after unlocking freezers, I'm not gonna let my decked out kitchen go to waste because they make fridges useless.

>>717312732
I know, I wanted to larp as a chef for my friends so I had a portal to the wildlife pens and rinsed it for milk sacs every three days but they just kept complaining that I wasn't making enough soup.

i fucking hate exor cha

Welp, just finished the game after starting it a little over a week ago. Easily my GotY so far. Didn't even mind the end battle since I came prepared. Fantastic game.

Fuck this bridge but now that i cleared none of the doors are open and i don't know where to go. Did i miss a button or something?

>>717312052
>best buffs are on braindead stews with common ingredients
which soup is the best that i can make early/mid game?

>>717313134
nvm i'm retarded, it was on one of the pillars

>>717313162
depends on the skills you want to use

>>717313162
Even the soups that give buffs are only 10% experience gain, so if you really wanted to min-max it's easier to make whatever soups you have the ingredients for and eat brains for their XP multiplier instead.
You can check your journal for all the soup recipes and it'll show what you can make with ingredients you've discovered, even if it doesn't show what it makes.
But Meaty Stew's 10% melee xp buff for just a chop, drumstick, and rump is the easiest.

why is the jetpack such abysmal dogshit?

>>717296734 (OP)
the time is not right

>>717313162
A&L is best for hunger and speed boost, it's the go to once green exors start showing up

>>717313753
so you still have a reason to use other packs

>>717313834
so instead I just dont use it at all and use the jump pack instead???
retard logic

So what even is the point of the carbon bed

Sit in the red chair anon...

>>717314003
its comfortable
you care about your scientist, and want him to have a restful night of sleep, right anon?

>>717313753
What? I loved the jetpack. Maybe its because I used the gravity trinket but it gave tons of mobility.

>>717299356
>Abe...
>Why are you looking are cartoon porn?

>>717314108
I've been using the gravity trinket since I unlocked it.
The jetpack fucking blows; anything it can do a jump pad can do better. The jump pack is the far superior option because it lets you zoom around like a crack addict.

>>717313753
People combine it with gravity trinket for extra mobility. Just jetpack alone is only enough to skip 1/2 floors or dampen the falling moment.

>>717314198
Hovering long distances is too valuable. I cant quit the jet pack.

>>717313702
The easiest is the veggie stew because you can just keep growing it and once you get the autowater thing its all automatic.

>>717312052
The animal pens are right next to one of the better "base" spots in the game and have like 10 of the fuckers.

>>717312052
seriously, what were they thinking?
you're cooking with anomalous materials and the best buff they can think of is underwater vision? I should be able to craft an anti-gravity casserole or a cake that doubles the size of your character model or a smoothie that paralyzes enemies when they hit you.

They had a portal in the room with the TV and bed sofa but didnt kill anything thankfully.

It does seem like bullshit one of the portals spawns in that room and not over in the freezer or kitchen, though. Or better yet, at the main junction and have to siege in to cafeteria chokepoint first.

I should probably move my setup but ive got like 5 boxes, a cooking station, and repair station already.

Fuck that bridge as well, it's where most of the flamer rats are so it's the best place to farm black oil but that APC respawns each time and fucks you up unless you land explosive damage on it

>>717314545
Part of the reason I haven't bothered with cooking beyond figuring out stew recipies is it doesn't seem worth it outside of making the larva steak and blue flower salads. The fact I'm in Hydroplant and there is still almost nothing I can see in my chef's bench crafting menu because I haven't grinded out cooking so I can use the oven is silly.

>>717314715
You will really want to level cooking to the oven for lodestones.

>>717314545
Seems food is just afterthought and as enjoyment to make different food types. So whatever meat/milk sacs just acts as replacement to irl ingredients, thats it. So no weird/crazy buff. Although they do lock oven behind cooking 10 which allow you to bake fragment lodestone into lodestone.

Basing in the security office because I'm a basic bitch, where should I put my storage?
I originally thought the locker room would work well but that's slightly out of range for the workbench
Would picrel be fine?

>>717314715
There's a lot of great food advanced foods to the point that it becomes severe overkill. Like sure the stuffed drumstick fills like 80 hunger but who cares when you can get six portions of soup instead.

>>717314801
You do? Damn

>>717314801
unless you're making a huge portal network you can probably get by with the 2 lodestones per week that you can get in canaan and completely ignore ovens

>>717314652
invasions are one of the things abiotic fucked up, giving you base defenses and turrets is pretty pointess when early enemies spawn in and late enemy waves are so weak

The armored exors that kept spawning in my hydroplant base were tougher than any actual raid I've encountered so far. Their arms can't even be eaten either so I just blocked their spawns with benches instead of farming them.

>>717314938
>>717314895
Rerunning canaan seems more cancerous to me than just cooking a few dozen eggs.

>>717314892
If I was in charge of reworking it I'd cut the hydration meter entirely and put in a stomach meter that stops you from eating food after a certain point, and a nutrition meter that provides buffs to all your stats when it's full, but can't kill you if it's emptied.

So you could fill up on easy stuff like soups but the only way to keep nutrition full would be to make high-tier stuff.

>>717315282
there's a hidden plug at the water wheel just set up a bench to warp to

>>717315282
I agree with the anons shitting on the jetpack because it feels way worse to use in the majority of cases but there are some benefits, and Canaan runs are one. You can make one hover up to the outhouse past the mine, one up to the scaffolding, then one up the gap to the swamp. It takes like two minutes from the entry portal.

The jetpack really is just shittier for avoiding fall damage and horizontal traversal which is the most important thing, so the use cases are pretty scarce, but when it's useful it's REALLY useful.

>>717315282
you can set up a jump pad or ramp over the main gate and then make a ramp or bridge to the mine entrance
i hadn't unlocked teleports yet so ive got a long ass bridge over the gap to the swamp
it's doable, much less pain with gravity cube and jetpack since you just jump over all the slopes and stuff whilst slapping the faggot preachers

Or you can set up the warp, behind Dr Riggs hut. Complete with open window for you to see Canaan almost entirely

>>717315360
Even better; there's one in the lookout hdden behind the witch hut.

any practical uses for hardlight bridges?

>going to my crafting bench with all of my storage next to it
>accidentally left click
>while holding the shotgun
>polished

>>717315697
there's a guy in reactors trying to use wood planks to bridge across, i always thought it was trying to hint you towards using a hardlight there but I never did. Other than that i can think maybe the very end area which is one giant parkour puzzle *might* benefit but even that's nowhere near necessary

>>717315697
theoretically they let you bridge big gaps where you cant use supports, like the roofs in flathill if you wanna speedrun powercells or to get to the arctic warp portal in hydroplant
otherwise not really, its just a building block for people to play with i guess
>>717315743
now that's a critical 1 roll

>>717315673
I somehow missed this completely thanks

>>717315743
I had it trigger for the first time earlier and my friend in a different zone thought he had been flashbanged. I thought I had somehow been teleported as punishment for shooting an Exor.
Great gun, 10/10 would jumpscare my friend from across the map again

>>717300218
Makes it to were no matter where you are looking, the Leyaks reacts as if you have 360 degree vision. Basically, the only thing you have to worry about is accidentally cutting a corner to hard and running into it. But, it's kind of a waste, even if you fuck up and set it off, it's not really fast, and if you get far enough away it will respawn.

>>717298736
The minigame needs to be more involved like RDR2's fishing, and the XP rates should be higher.
As it is, you need to catch way more fish than you'll ever actually need or use just to grind out the skill, and the process itself is boring as hell.

>>717300703
No, it's a decoy, if it wasn't obvious by having a fellow scientist just so HAPPEN to fall asleep in the room of the Mimic monster.

Can't you just unlock the gate? I run straight through the doors every time I need more corn or pumpkins.

2 trinket slots is too little, do you ever get more
I'm in hydro already

baka robots

>>717316398
The gate reset when the portal worlds reset, only flashing and prae seem to keep their doors unlocked between resets

>>717316690
I was getting my butt reamed by these till I also figured it out they'll keep shooting a railing/wall/something forever if they got a straight line of sight to you but something to the right of them

>>717316678
No, for now.

I heard this game is like System Shock 1/2. Does this mean a lot of weapons/armors are completely useless or super situational?

>>717304982
how do I make teleporters like that?

>>717314652
portals spawn near the player
you can influence their location by waiting where you want them to be as soon as you get the notice of a coming assault

though generally portal storms aren't enough of a threat to bother

>>717312052
>single ingridient xanth rice soup is 20 satiety

Why bother with anything else when rice is king. Why would i want to put 3 different things together to make cheese, wait for it to ripen, use the cheese in another 3/4 ingredient recipe, cook it, and only get 10% more satiety compared to the rice?

some reason I have the supporters dlc but I didnt buy it. whats going on there?

>>717317007
Thirst

>>717316943
you get the blueprint in Reactors

>>717316850
No, most weapons and armor all have their perks. The only big issue at the moment is using regular firearms due to ammo being somewhat sparse.

>>717316850
more that you spend a lot of your time side stepping enemy attacks and bashing them with your melee weapons whilst exploring the map
the armors are pretty good, usually straight upgrade in terms of pure defense but some of the mid tier ones give bonuses that make them viable even end game
weapons are varied but the ballistic guns suck ass until you get the 1st upgrade. 2nd upgrade ruins them again so dont use them. There's generally a progression for weapons as enemies become tankier

>>717317034
thirst is even easier, you just click the barrel a few times

leyak is girl?

>>717304638
gonna start doing this. i've only been using signs to put "live, laugh, love" all over my base

>>717317023
Bonus if you bought the game during Early Access.

>>717316724
My world must be an exception because the gates never lock in mine. Maybe because I created it during beta.

>>717316690
Their aggro range is fucked. The amount of times I've been jump packing over hydro to eventually see mortars land in my former position.

>>717304638
I put signs up at the plaza tram station. Now, no matter how long I take a break from Abiotic, I remember every major location they head to.

>>717317108

>>717316768
look at this absolute buffoon

>>717317129
I read up on that but I bought it on the 29th of july. But it also says Feb 6? I swear I didnt buy it back then and perhaps it was a demo or something.

>>717317510
Did you buy it from a key site?

>>717317241
I played during beta too before hydroplant got added, maybe they dont reset any more? I didnt try again after they got locked the first time

>>717300154
I've played for over 250 hours (a good chunk of that last year) and still get lost in parts.

I'm a lot like that in real life, need to travel the same routes repeatedly to really commit them to memory. Very good long term memory, but the short term, not so much.

>>717317576
I hope so. It's such a bummer to be robbed of your shortcuts. I don't want to go through that on my next playthrough.

>>717317576
Yeah that tracks, my beta world still has the old gate behavior too. I think they quietly changed how world flags initialize sometime post-hydroplant and any world made before that doesn't get the new logic unless it's force-updated. Basically a case of legacy jank. Probably not worth starting fresh unless you're really sweating speed routes or achievement runs.

>>717317546
nope, from the most recent steam sale. I figured maybe I bought it back in Feb and then refunded it but nope, nothing on my steam statements.

*dances at gunpoint*

>>717317830
Weird, because I heard of people getting it when they bought old keys that were generated prior to 1.0
well, guess you're just lucky

Played from reactor to residences today. I'm really tired of fighting. Are there any cool new weapons in this new chapter or will i still run with my laser weapons + hardlight sword?

>>717318209
if you want to grind Throwing and Stealth, Quantum Pick.

>>717318209
Quantum pick is the way to go for late-game fleshy enemies. Durability is a bit of an issue but you can always make extras

I still use de-atomizer for armored targets since it melts them with secondary fire mode

>join a server

>>717317464
>he doesnt just tesla coil robots

>>717319261
coils are fine when the robots have beds to camp, not lugging them around for the big boys when you'll still have to dodge grenades anyway

that and they aren't weak to shock damage like the weaker ones are

>>717319420
5 coils melt the high tier ones in seconds, anon

>>717315360
>>717315536
>>717315541
I mean, I guess but I still think its easier to just fry a few dozen eggs to get your cooking to 12.

>>717319521
and my ass is not carrying around five coils when I can just laser them from a corner and sprint bonk to finish up

>>717319543

Almost Giant Fish time, and of course I have to craft a Lv5 hacker & more thermite before I can proceed; seemed like they let me enjoy my lv3 hacking for way longer than lv4.

>>717320094
>Didn't get blunt to 8 naturally by smacking boxes open with the table leg
shiggy diggy

>>717320094
i didn't even realize it was a perk. i was just banging stuff and just assumed i never thought to run and unga bunga at the same time

I just got to reactors and feel like my weapons are not scaling with the enemies very well anymore. I have the upgraded scrapshot, the magbow, and the carbon pick for melee and I have to dump like 6 scrapshot ammo into the pitchfork exor faggots. Do I need to make the laser cannon?

>>717318209
Some of the upgraded guns are pretty decent even at the end.
I was running the sniper rifle, though the mag bow is slightly better, because of the excess of ammo I had for it.
Did you get the pet alien gun? That one is both strong and fun to play with.

How's the thermal smg, the first upgrade version of the order mook smg again

>>717321019
Make the qull rifle bro

>>717321019
I was in the same boat so I went searching for better weapons and ended up going with the upgraded tech mace, the upgraded romag shotgun, and the upgraded magbow and I had a way easier time.

>>717317047
danke

>>717320289
I open boxes with a vacuum cleaner. The wind it generates is full of razor blades, evidently.

>>717321019

Jesus man.
You don't have to make the laser cannon, the laser sword is good all the way to the endgame even after you get the fancier sword weapon.
>>717321156
Recoil is a bitch, it burns through ammo if you do try to go full auto and does less damage than the final pistol.

>>717296808
hEY, Whathehell

How quickly does it break the boxes? Guess I'll have to finally make one if it's decent at dismantling all the random furniture, too.

>>717321386
>>717321507
That stops being effective by half way point, you'll be standing there wasting almost the entire battery when you could probably just bash open the box in three hits
But then you get the upgraded version which you start using to hack up bodies.

>>717321507
Couple seconds, unless they patched it. I haven't brought it with me since before 1.0 dropped. My harpoon breaks boxes in like 1-2 strikes, so it's kind of unnecessary.

I'm assuming you're not supposed to get to voussoir by gravity rocket jumping across the entire resevoir so how are you actually supposed to get there I didn't see anything in the water

Using the vacuum is a trap, because then you dont get sharp/blunt xp from breaking shit.

>>717322221
Is hydro plant the halfway point?
Security seemed a bit short compared to the earlier areas

>>717322337
>Security is short
Yes, thats the point since Security is for Reaper gimmick. Hydro is like the 4th area follow by Reactor and finally Residence

>can't craft gun repair kits
at least the trade for them is easy to farm if a bit limited

is it worth it to endure the torture that is the end fight? I just got there and I definitely don't have enough resources for it so I would have to go farm. Everything about it seems like the devs stopped caring and just shipped the shitty alpha version and called it a day.

What the fuck does this even mean

Where is the entrance to the praetorium? Cleared it in a single run so i don't know how to return to it, do i have to go to shadowgate every time?

>>717324707
At some point deep in praetorium, you pass a portal that goes back to our guy's room, and there's another portal in his room that opens up right next to the shadowgate entrance

>Is that game worth playing?
It's an alright game if you like managing/maintaining your own home, and/or you like being all alone while weird/spooky shit starts happening.
The game can be a bit tedious in the beginning, processing stuff and getting satelite hashes takes a while which means you have very little free time to do anything else, but once you upgrade your tools, you'll quickly get a lot more free time.
The game is free so you don't lose anything giving it a try, beside your own time.
>The last threads on /v/ were just trashing the game and calling the dev a tranny lover from discord or something
The game gets talked to death whenever it gets an update and then you only have people talking shit and waifufags left, so not surprising.

THERES NOONE HERE

Just started exploring cascade labs and unlocked teleporters, what's the best way to farm jailbroken CPUs?
I set up a temporary base in the labs next to one of the antegem converters but i'm worried it's going to get overran unless i spam more crafting benches to block spawns.

The vacuum sucks. Can break 4 whole boxes before the fucking thing is out of juice

>>717325112
When you get into the storage maze, the reaper can't open the shutter doors. So just stealth into each shutter, quickly open and close it, then loot and wait for him to pass. Makeshift NVGs also help a ton dealing with him, you miss out on the flashlight shake when he's near but the better vision is worth it.

>>717325208
Chopinator still fucks them up, just make sure you get them stuck on the geometry of it otherwise they'll run right through the blades

>>717325208
Chopinators

>>717325254
I need a ton of CPUs since i'm trying to farm for a server with 6 people playing on/off though, should i just run throughout the labs every 3 in-game days, or is setting up traps for where they spawn worth it?

>>717325208
>what's the best way to farm jailbroken CPUs?
Same way you do it with regular Security Bots, except you'll have to fight them the first time: Just use a chopinator or a tesla coil (don't forget a lever) next to their pod.

>>717325332
If you're close enough to the spawns then an AFK trap of like 4-5 tesla coils should be enough, just make sure to check it often.
Personally I'd just go and confirm the kill since idk how long it takes for stuff to despawn

So what are the things foreshadowed in future updates? I know there's a lot of stuff related to Anteverse 33 for instance.

>>717324000
It was really fun in the beginning but the events that progress the story happen so slowly (like 30 in game days or something) that it just became really boring. It is really nice playing in the source engine though and the early game is pretty fun

>>717325546
>It is really nice playing in the source engine though
Anon, I...
It's Unreal Engine 4
The dev just used the stock sounds used in Half-Life 2 and recreated some of the physics quirk.

>>717325226
The 1.0 nerf it got hit with makes no sense and its upgrade isn't even available before reactors. Better take it off your bar and smash crates with your weapon of choice for a tiny bit of xp.

>>717324496
I farmed nothing, brother. I had tons of gun ammo from reactors/praetorium, a rocket launcher with like 6 rockets, a few laser charged weapons, and then the grinder with lode discs and the upgraded scrapshot which i barely used.

I didn't bother setting up traps, I just would throw two or three mugnades at them and then finish them off with a running heavy attack. There haven't been any other enemies that have been tanky enough where I felt like I needed the mugnades for them yet anyways.

>>717328907
You can also get mugs by fishing.
But, you know, fishing.

>>717329376
At first you'll be thinking of Half Life 1 with survival crafting elements.
Then you'll realize it's actually Prey with more survival crafting elements. Except Prey is a better packed game

>>717329376
It's like if HL1 and SCP had a baby story wise. Gameplay, it's closer to most survival crafting games but the progression is one of the best in that genre, there's a clear end goal and you regularly unlock new equipment to craft but unlike Grounded for example your progression isn't locked by equipment tiers but gadgets to craft, facility equipment to repair etc.
There's several skills to level up, and it's leveling by doing like TES. Character creation has a trait system similar to Project Zomboid, CDDA...

>>717329432
Increasing the skill should've made the fishing faster instead of giving some useless line strength increase.

>>717329503

ohhhh THAT’S what he was talking about. i just assumed he was rambling about those bizarre extra "comfort species" they added in the last patch. six titties and yandere dialogue trees, devs knew exactly what they were doing. still can’t believe they gave them dedicated pheromone mechanics in the romance update lmao

Imagine the smell

So im early into the game i think, so far i settled on offices level 2 where security booth is at, the robot is annoying there and no access to water so i thought i move to the plaza even though theres not that many sockets. Question tho - is the only way to get rid of robots to just build some traps with batteries that just kill them as soon as they respawn? Can't think of anything else, and their patrol routes seem kinda big...

>>717329571
>useless line strength increase
Which honestly isn't even an issue at level.

What I find most annoying about fishing is it's the exact same overly long process every time and there's basically nothing you can do about it apart from sitting on the tacklebox.

>>717332895
Level one I meant to say, somehow deleted the last bit.

>lab holds shitloads of anomalous items

For now.

>>717332637
yeah pretty much. my base is in the office gym right now and the security bot will patrol into the locker room for absolutely no fucking reason. Then aggro's my items and starts SPEENing all my chests.

>>717325519
At least two destinations are sure to drop eventually, the most potential is a visit to the Bahamas (Leaf Facility), where the third and last Leyak variant is. Then Anteverse 33, all we know aside of lore is that there is a trader there
After that it could be anything, but I'm sure we are gonna see what's down there in Albatross Facility

>normal ass shotgun

>got 2 pc reactor armor
>finally take off bionic legs
>jump off office lobby balcony
>immediately sprain both legs even with gravity cube

I break my legs on purpose just so I can activate crystaline armor camouflage while walking.

There needs to be a better way of grinding first aid than jumping off the office walkway to break your legs and splinting them with 10 sets of splints.

Is this game scary? I can't deal with scary games.

>>717334364
Not intentionally. It unnerved me when I very first played it but I got over that quickly. There's an enemy that can surprise you but after the first few times it's predictable and eventually you can negate it.

Why?

I wish fishing skill reduced initial wait and even allowed instant capture for fish (or scrap) at or below set skill thresholds...

The best fucking part of this game is it both is and isn't a horror game. That is the best kind of horror for a game that has action in it.

I was expecting to see more of The Puppeteer\s work and confront him at some point. Hopefully still in the cards for a post-launch update.

What are some cool locations for bases in Office/Manufactory sector?
Just started a new singleplayer game because my MP buddy is too busy to play. We had our MP base in the Security Office so I want to do something else this time. Got a temp base in the Cafeteria for now, but I want to move to somewhere more permanent so I can put down tons of farms.

>>717328946
That achievement was frustrating enough that it made me drop the game and I have not played it since.

relying on chopinators/coils is just leaving aiming XP on the floor

>>717337126
It isn't cool, but if you want max functionality build a base on the far side of the central plaza where the Manufacturing and Labs trams arrive. Just need to have a consistent killtrap for the Plaza robot and the lab rat, as well as being ready to fuck up the giant power leech when the blackouts happen

>>717337126
I like playing like a roof goblin by settling down above the data farm: plenty of flat space, no walls making it extra chaotic, safe from bots and raids, swimming pool and slushie machine close by.

>>717304920
Server needs to own the dlc

>>717337493
Too bad the ranged weapons suck ass.

>>717337658
Sounds nice and central, but indeed very boring.

>>717338083
Roof goblin sounds very cool. Are there even sockets up there?

>>717338193
Where are you? That simply isn't true by the time you get to manufacturing guns ranged weapons are OP. Use the grinder instead of military weapons (except shotguns and sniper).

Of course throwing is much stronger than ranged is.

>>717338616
Manufacturing yeah, been slow going because it's so hard to fit our schedules together.
Scrapshot = sucks
Pipe pistol = sucks
Regular pistol = sucks
Sounds more like the Grinder's an outlier.

I don't suppose the projectile pickup perk works with bolts fired from my crossbow?
>>717296734 (OP)
nuh yeh

>>717338774
>I don't suppose the projectile pickup perk works with bolts fired from my crossbow?
It does and also the grinder discs.
So get to grinding that throwing skill.

>>717338603
>Are there even sockets up there?
There is one, you'll have to craft a few strips and boards to power everything but the tangled mess of cables and wires hanging from above adds a lot to the ambiance.

Is the magbow good? Been running the carbon pick but it's too slow for my liking

>>717338729
Scrapshot is strong enough to use for 2-3 sectors, I use it end game occasionally. Pipe pistol is stronger than it seems but relies on headshots/being upgraded to really shine so it's the worst of the group.
Regular pistol is good for grinding accuracy since ammo is so abundant.

>>717338774
It works for the grinder so I think it does for the crossbow too.

>>717339019
Guess I'll give the grinder a proper try, but those aforementioned weapons are made completely redundant by my peccary club that I crafted right in the beginning of the game. The rush attack just murders everything so far.

>find scientist trapped in a containment cell
>let him out
>find audio recording about an scp disguised as a dead scientist
welp

>>717339165
You can get through the game primarily with melee + sneaking, but by the time you get to one of the later sectors you'll want to start making nades at least.

>>717339340
Yeah throwing seems like it'd complement melee well, I just wish there was more early game options than the pens.

>>717339014
It's very good, but the ammo is hard to make.

>>717339485
My friend ran a backup spear instead of throwing darts. You have further range and gain more XP with a spear and you can infinitely pick it up and repair it. Just expect it to go flying off a cliff at least once.

>>717339014
Skip it and grind for a sniper. .308 is so abundant in reactors and it does the same damage with a much better upgrade.

>>717339531
Not a bad idea, could even do 2-3 of them if I reorganize my toolbar a bit.

>>717339591
Don't I need to wear some gay arm armor? am already sacrificing my legs for bionics

>>717339673
You can bench it off, just costs some durability iirc.

>>717339673
If you're sacrificing your leg slot then you don't really need to care about anything more than 2 armor pieces for the set bonus. Also upgrading the sniper unlocks it so that's moot by hydro.

>>717339802
what do you mean by that

>>717339830
Ah I was only half right, going off of hearsay, when you upgrade them you can remove the lock: https://abioticfactor.wiki.gg/wiki/Enhancement_Bench

Does this running animation remind anyone else of Braid?

>>717340234
yeah

So whats the best way to collect poop after portal toilet? hope you get sent there and just put the fishing waders on?

>>717339932
>have to go underwater for the red brick

>>717340317
I grinded out a poop teleporter by bringing a makeshift battery, a crafting bench, and an extra personal teleporter with me every time I took a shit.

>>717340543
It's really not that bad.

>>717340568
if you barrel the liquid feces can you get individual poopies out of it or do you just have to fish once you can teleport there?

>>717296734 (OP)
eeeuuuh, not now mom, eeeuuuh

Ok, I've literally just had the leyak spawn three times in I think less than five minutes, the first time aggroing through a wall before she even got close. I have eaten a cosmato wrap, but even I know this isn't intended mechanics.

>>717323836
where

How the hell do you get more rice seeds?

can someone post the "I need to watch you defecate for science" image? I forgot to save it.

>>717342384
there's one that respawns in the mountains (hydroplant portal)

this game reminds me of voices of the void for some reason

>>717342590
They're both unreal engine games pretending to be source engine games

>>717342148
idk it's an email temrinal somewhere

>>717342384
The one in the caves area of manufacturing respawns every few days. It's up on a ledge near the pool of water (not the purple drank water).
The plant drops seed when you harvest, it's just a low chance.

>>717342643
they also both run like shit because retard devs can't into lighting

>>717341163
Greyebs or any food containing them will attract the leyak. It's intended to allow you to farm him quickly. After about 10 minutes or so he'll go back to his normal spawn rate. Check your buffs.

>>717342384
Carson sells them for glowsticks

what weapons I should have by the reactor?

>>717344110
Crowbar 2.0 and a bowl of soup

>>717333408
I swear robots just update their pathfinding to home on your base if its near their usual route. This shit can't be real otherwise. Niggas even open doors without having any aggro just so they can see my base and aggro on it.

>>717344110
Energy pistol, mugnades, and carbon pickaxe

guns are fucking shit

>>717333408
Gym is a pretty shit place to base really. It seems nice at first because of the pool but it's too open.

>>717344507
Z17 and the magnums are good, everything else is trash though.

Especially the romags, goddamn they are horrible.

>>717344507
The game encourages you to use science weapons

the uprgades are useless because by the time you can uprgade a weapon you can also craft/find a stronger one alltogether

I think there are many great things about this game, but don't we think the crafting gets a bit tedious at a certain point needing to craft items to craft items to craft items?

>>717345083
>don't we think
kill yourself drone

wtf the grinder is better than I thought. That shit can pretty much 1 shot. If you're aiming for the head it can 2 shot a grunt and you can collect the discs too

>>717344017
Yeah, but five times in seven or eight minutes, not typical behaviour I've seen before. I'm here in the power services building setting up a new base, and the leyak seems a bit strange here. Just now aggroed again outside point blank range through solid material and apparently disappeared two seconds later (I didn't even see it).
Oh well, containment is set up, so she can move in now instead of having to visit.

Where the hell is the other end of this pipe? I found it pre 1.0 but now I super can't remember where the fuck it is

>>717345691
isn't it at the very start of the game?

>>717345905
I mean the other end in hydroplant so I can use it from offices.

>>717343575
Thank you kind sir.

>>717346016
one of those numbered towers in the dam with the bridges connecting them, it's bridged from the one connecting to the place with the volleyball net

>black fog in the mines
Well this is fun. And I somehow misplaced my office teleporter.

>>717345691
number 4 I think

>>717337126
-Outside the entrance to Flathill, by the Office elevator
-The tiny little room attached to Manufacturing's carpool
>>717338729
I found the scrapshot to be great against soldiers if you do the same trick as with L4D witches: run up behind them, crouch, then aim at their head. Back off as they stagger and reload & repeat.

are you talking about this >>717347885 ?
or something different?

Can someone give me a hint on how to get the "Reaper"s sigil ? I don't want to be entirely spoiled if possible but I'm at the reactors, I've searched his portal and done a bunch of fishing and I still haven't found it, so I'm pretty sure I missed it...

>>717349761
that big black pool in the starting area is a little scary to swim in, doesn't it look like?

the main problem is that the map is always upside down
no one in the world put map like that
you can go to any shopping mall and the map will always face up

Ok?? so.... how do I like... get rid of this annoying thing

>>717304201
its probably cheaper to get a custom made one instead
