What a busted weapon

Praetorium is such a breath of fresh air after getting through the slog that is reactors. I have never been so happy to run around power slamming Order guys with the pickaxe in a straightforward level

Can I alter things like durability, stack size etc etc. and such mid game in a solo playthrough or can I only edit those things when i create a new world?

>>717568642
You can tweak world's settings whenever you want.

This must be what an average day working in the facility is like.

>>717569020
thats unreal for ya

>>717568915
actually I think it's just collecting the anti fungal gel that triggers it, I didn't need to go through the red portal.

>>717569156
I went through the portal before collecting the gel myself since I had no idea where I had to collect it from so I wouldn't know, but his dialogue when he gives you the armor recipe is connected to the thing you saw in the portal

>>717568642
I tried changing the sandbox settings for my solo world but it didn't really seem to do anything.

Gunpowder should drop from every crate in the game instead of cloth scraps or fucking glue and a recipe for crafting better and better ammo should be unlocked instead of bio-faggot arm wraps

>>717570397
>have to give up an armor slot for the bullshit arm wraps for the high tier rifles
They lose that requirement when you upgrade them.

I bet anteverse 33 did this!

It's actually astonishing, how fucking retarded these devs are. I still can't believe that they didn't rework the XP and leveling system at all at 1.0, they just added more tiers so there's even more fucking grind. It's Deep Rock Galactic all over again.

>>717570540
"guys a twitter thread died for this"

>>717572486
for me its more the principle of outright locking a few generic guns behind 18 shooting when you're unlikely to even get 10+ in ANY skill before you beat the game naturally.

It's funny that everything you learn about the Gatekeepers motives come from IS-0012 so in hindsight a lot of it is a complete lie.
The GKs were killing Gate staff because IS-0012 is a shapeshifter who is really good at impersonating staff so anyone escaping could potentially be it and there'd be no way to stop it.
Then they shut down the reactors to prevent IS-0012 from reaching Shadowgate.
Meanwhile in Shadowgate, they were trying to prevent IS-0117 from entering Anteverse 2 like IS-0012 intended.
When everything went to shit (for some mysterious reasons), they became desperate to prevent IS-0012 from escaping and tried to lock down the Dark Lens, and prevent anyone from using it.

>>717572975
I thought the Order broke the dark lens

Would we screw ourselves later on if we moved our base to the Offices lobby? It's got plenty of space and seems to be conveniently located.
Right now we're at the locker room next to the pool but it's a bit of a tight squeeze.

>>717573902
Nah, but you'll probably want some automatic defences near the security bot station, as the bench won't stop him from spawning.

>>717572234
Idk why the tranny janny who moved us singled us out in particular, like what in the fuck is there about the le funny HL1/SCP survival game to get so bent out of shape over?

It really does seem like the faggot was mad it wasnt another Switch 2 ragebait thread,

>>717569156
>>717568915
you just need to open the red portal not go through it

>>717573524
The Order stole the lens, but the GKs broke it after taking it back, most likely to try and prevent IS-0012 from using it.
There's almost no Order presence near the fractured district, no corpses, no soldiers, just a few isolated assassins. Meanwhile the GKs are heavily entrenched.

>>717573950
Yeah I'd just put a chopinator somewhere in there - the bot near to the lockers hasn't been an issue either. Unless they get some giga upgrade later on in the story.

>>717573902
The lobby is specifically made for that, literally all sectors in the game loop back to it.
Although I highly recommend setting something to deal with the security bot that spawn in there every couple of days, he will wreck your base if you let it loose.

>>717574067
They only get harder in the different zones, the shitter ones in the office will always stay shitters.

>>717574134
Perfect, guess we're packing then.

>>717574067
>Unless they get some giga upgrade later on in the story.
Not the one that spawn on the map, they always stay the same.
But you will want to upgrade your defense later on tho, because raids will get harder as you unlock new areas and spawn much stronger enemies.

>almost done in the game
>still get lost everywhere and can't find shit
This game is a LABYRINTH

>>717573902
put like a couple shock traps and teslas coils to infinitely buttmongle the bot there and youre set.

Try just putting signs down, chief.

>>717572742
what are you babbling about son? you can use the military guns once you get the mountain armor from the snow portal which is at the hydro plant. you will be over 10 aim skill at this point unless you are some kinda massive pleb who things its a stealth game or something. no bio-wraps required.
do you even make MRE soup? are you that stupid?

By the time I finished the game, I think the only skill I had past 15 was Sprinting. I clocked 70 hours into that game.

>>717574546
That's why you increase the XP gain to max.

>>717574606
Yeah no if I knew there was that much grind, I would have done that. It's insane the amount of skills I had that barely hit 10 despite using them all the time.
My accuracy was at like 12, and I've been shooting guns since I've had access to them, but there's a like a ton of weird restriction on XP gains for accuracy for some reasons.

>>717566436 (OP)
Is there an option to disable the heartbeat sound effect when you're damaged ? I would like to play this but sounds of that nature drive me insane.

>>717574801
That should only be during bleed. Just carry bandages and you should be fine. I actually think you can just disable bleeding altogether in the world settings if its that much of a problem

>>717574871
Okay thanks. I'll have a look into it. Dunno for sure if its a phobia or not but hyper realistic heart beating sound effects give me a viscerally uncomfortable reaction. I could not play this game without it removed.

>>717573962

>>717566436 (OP)
Dunno what this is but it looks like a Rahkshi

turned the xp up to max and this is how my levels looked by the end

do they want people to be focusing on one role in a team? because the base xp rate seemed so ass

>>717575686
Remove 5 levels in everything and that's what I had when I ended the game with vanilla settings, the grind is insane.

>>717575765
My friend wanted to pick slow learner when we played recently
I literally shouted NO

About to enter reactors. I got the fitness and general xp buffs, everything else is base rate. What perks did people even pick if not either of those?

Oh shit, that reminds me: I had the +20% exp trait too.
Jesus fucking christ, I can't imagine what it's like without it, let alone Slow Learner;

>>717575869
Fanny Pack for the two hotbar spots.
And you can pay it by picking Hearty Appetite, Dry Skin, Slow Healer and Weak Bladder.
Really any trait that affects your needs can be picked because it's trivial to deal with them.

>>717575926
As I continue to play on my first playthrough, I keep thinking "I will enjoy this a whole lot more on a second playthrough"

>>717576014
I'm just surprised because while some skills are pretty slow, I've spent about 45 hours with my friend and hit 20 on more than one skill. Not particularly bothered by the rest.

>>717576154
It sucks that you can't see the remaining time on the buffs even on the health UI.

>>717575869
I took no negatives and picked chef, thick skin and weathered
I regret not taking hearty appetite, I have way too much food sitting out in my base because I want to cook all the recipes at least once

>>717575869
I pick the negative needs traits so I can afford the fanny pack and the xp perk

>>717576258
The so-called negative perks that increase your needs really are just free points.

>>717575869
I usually run a combination of athletic, fast learner, weathered and extra carry weight paired with obvious, appetite, thirst and weak bladder, everything else is for flavor and depends on the role I want to play.

>>717573962
I can nearly 100% guarantee it was due to the OP saying "edition". Don't fucking do that.

is the abiotic factor protagonist one of the most enduring protagonists of all time? when gordon freeman went through his ordeal, he was recruited by a space god in the end for being such a phenomenal member of his species, and he was just fighting jarhead marines and scattered aliens. abiotic protagonist is taking out alien villages, incredibly devoted heavily armed soldiers, paranormal spec ops, numerous large entities, a boss, etc with his own crafted weapons and hes just an awkward egghead scientist. he probably went back to work after

>>717578169
I guess but he's also the most gullible retard that ever walked the multiverse. And also trapped in a time loop maybe?

>>717578169
It's one thing to fend off a bunch of alien pests and armed invaders to survive.
It's another to murder heavily armored wizards by the hundred and defeating a multiuniversal being..

>What a busted weapon
The real busted weapon is high level throwing. In my group we have one sharp/throwing player who literally stunlocks jotuns to death by spamming throw with his quantum pick.

>>717572742
I had 20 sprinting and 13 blunt by the time I hit security. Let me guess, defense analyst?

>>717572975
You know it's funny because I knew Cahn was a bad guy pretty much as soon as I saw him instantly appear the second I turned off containment but I never really considered that he was lying about the Gatekeepers trying to use the Dark Lens to fuck over the world, I thought he was just so desperate to get revenge against GATE and then escape.

>>717583225
You need to build a Laser Collector, which need to be powered by a Laser Emitter.

>>717574606
My preferred setting for solo is 2.0x xp, 5x stack size, everything else vanilla (except research minigame)

As a group 1.5xp seems to be enough. Your chosen class gets XP bonuses to their skill so you'll max it out pretty quick if you're doing it all game.

>>717583324
It's absurd that you can stunlock enemies with throwing as soon as you hit 15 but you need 20 in accuracy to do the same with guns. It's made even worse by the fact that throwing is way easier to level than accuracy. Then again, many passives are completely useless by the time you unlock them.

>>717578269
Zag, the director, stated

and also
>"Time is quite linear. I can't speak for the Unlost and their perception of time."
So basically there's no time loop and there's no "we'll just go to another anteverse and stop it!" coming in the story. The only time shenanigans are the temporal resets with the other anteverses.

>>717584786
You can't but you can go to the school.

>>717584786
Can't.
Sadly Flathill suffer from being full of invisible walls as well so even with extra mobility you can't really go anywhere new.

I love this game, but the crafting UI is garbage.
You can't sort by recently discovered, you can't click on the recipes you've pinned, you even have to MANUALLY search the recipe to UNPIN it...
Can't search anything by material too. And you have items like F.O.R.G.E where, of course, you can't search for FORGE.

And, for some reasons, it's only FOUR ITEMS PER ROWS???????

Is there ANYTHING to do to make the UI stop sucking cocks? Literally ANYTHING, I would take it.

My leyak must've been especially shy. I'm coming upon the fusion generator and saw her staring at a wall.

why does my game keep compiling shaders everytime i launch

>>717586814
Because UE5 is shit

Is there a reason to set up base anywhere else but starting office plaza? Every shortcut leads there, the only problem is layout is kinda ass.

>>717587148
Small outposts for sleeping purposes if you don't want to wander in pitch darkness.

does the accuracy 10 perk that reduces chance of projectiles breaking include throwables like throwing knives?

where is the best place to farm staplers? preferably renewable ones

>>717587148
The plaza doesn't have a kitchen stove.
Closest is in the offices upstairs, so you'll be reliant on portable stoves which just aren't as nice looking.

i mean yea im trying to build small outposts, but whenever i have to craft something it's always "oh i need 1 of X, i guess i can spend time looking for it or just ride back to base where i know i have 20" and annoying...

>>717587415
Yea i hoped that maybe there's big industrial stove somewhere that i can build base around, but seems those are non existant? I think i saw one somewhere but can't even remember where.
As far as every other "convinience" seems like nothing really matters: you can just get tonns of water with barrels and a cart, vending machines everywhere, drink dispensers you just buy 20 of them at a time or something...So really the only deciding factor seems to be "how easy it is to get back to". There's some argument about enemy attacks but they never been a problem for me so far (im up to that area that's after manufacturing).

>>717587713
Yeah, wasn't sure after encountering the Leyak since there is not much feedback. Thanks

>>717587659
Blunt weapons are cool. 2h falls off, but the tech scepter was alright for 1 shots, though I do think sharp is better than blunt overall.
If you have literal lightsabers I don't know why you'd care though the game's basically over already.
Pre 1.0 I was using tech scepter, lightning spear and the sawblade launcher thing to the end, and the last one only because I needed some holy damage to get those fucking space marines off my ass.

Sell this game to me. It seems interesting but i have no idea what's about.

>>717587801
I knew i could kill him when I unloaded an smg mag into him and got a fuckload of accuracy exp. Think I got like 750 out of killing him.

>>717587760
The 8 burner or the 4 burner? There are lots of 4 burners around, like the one I mentioned in the office sector upstairs, or over in the mushroom garden.
8 burner I only really recall the one in the flathill arcade, which to be fair would be a pretty nice spot, just set up a teleporter to the plaza.

>>717587659
The sprinting heavy is great. But yea I end up just using heavy sharp weapons with it

>>717587760
>how easy it is to get back to
That's never really an issue with personal teleporters (unlocked around cascade labs). I always have two on me, one for my base and the other for the central area. All you need to do is put down an extra workbench and keep it powered, preferably with a charger on each end.

Has the game become less shit since the steamfest demo? That one felt incredibly empty and directionless
Like barely a tech demo

>>717588046
Half-Life, but you play as a scientist NPC instead of Gordon, also Black Mesa deals with SCP entities
Gameplay is very much like Subnautica with guns, very heavy on basebuilding, crafting and exploration on a handcrafted semi-open world, you will need to achieve different goals and items to access next areas
Item finding isn't too grindy except for fishing, and resources respawn in places known as Anteverses, dimensions where our scientists go explore like Black Mesa did with Xen

>>717588520
Didn't play the demo but yeah it has a fleshed out story now.

I hate being dependent on the crystal to keep my flashlight charged, there's too many cool trinkets I don't even think to play with. Two slots is not fucking enough.

>>717589008
You get the effect of any trinket when you're holding it in your hotbar, for example the slowfall one.

>>717588898

Carrying around the cube is all fun and games until you forget to whip it out and fall to your death.
>>717589264
You can know this because the cube doesn't start on a chain, you have to add that yourself anyway, so if you continue to use it as you have been, nothing changes.

I've heard these guy are annoying, but it turns out you can just combo them to death.

>>717589448
I don't fully understand why, but acid bolts just went right through the shield too.
Really there are quite a few options; unless you are carrying only one regular melee weapon you should be fine, and even then you can wait out the swing to strike them with their guard down.

Long jump doesn't go high enough. There are few if any spots where the horizontal distance matters aside from the hydroplant and even then the jetpack worked just fine there.

>>717590248
I much prefer the long jump pack with the cube though either way being able to free up the slot if I want definitely opens up some options.

>>717590845
jump pad

>>717590894
>significantly faster
>place the jump pad that you are leaving behind vs just jetting up to where you're going
No way. You're also just admitting the jump pack can't get you into vertical places, which is where most of the shortcuts actually exist.
I know they shuffled around where you get them, but the jetpack is more useful.

>>717590845
three jumps satisfies all my height needs, but the primary use is going sanic speed over obstacles instead of walking like a peasant

Still baffled that there's only one kind of wristwatches. Put a geiger-counter on it. Or let us travel to a "future" anteverse and loot some apple watches or something.

>>717587659
It's not that blunt weapons are bad, it's sharp ones are just better and blunt ones fall behind real hard as if devs forgot to make a whole tier of them. Gimme better Impact Hammer, damn it!

>>717589172
No you don't. Only gravity dampener works (both cube and trinket versions) this way and you still have hold it in your hands.

>>717589617
It's how dots apply in this game. If you are blocking with heat/lode shield and rook shield-bashes you, he can get set on fire.

>>717590445
>>717590517
Have you guys played it EA? Did devs nerf the jetpack? I remember it being much faster and more responsive.

>>717585571
I remember for the wave defense I sat on top of the reactor and let the turrets kill everything. At the end of the last wave I looked down and saw the fucking reaper for five seconds. What the fuck was that, why was he there? There was no weather event.

>>717591152
Can you get on top of the sniper towers in hydroplant with the jump pack?
Can you reach the jammed radio antenna without going through the building?
Can you climb the megalift without calling the car?
Going fast is certainly fun, but not a great cell considering how many ways you have to go faster horizontally.

>>717591172
It's like the halo reach jetpack now, almost no thrust so it's slow and shitty and won't even gain height if you're already falling

meanwhile long jump is hard, fast and lets you change your momentum on a dime

>>717588218
>>717588387
>>717588898
That sounds fun. I'll give it a try.

>>717566436 (OP)
what else is this game ripping off? wh40k? bionicle? half life? anything else?

>>717591330
>Can you reach the jammed radio antenna without going through the building?
Yes I did this often. You can just float around the sides to get to the ladder to the roof. You can get a lot of height pairing with the gravity cube, you can't climb flat vertical walls but you can definitely jump on a lot of things you shouldn't otherwise.

>>717591641
>>717591330

Also you can't even get the jetpack until you're well past hydroplant so what are you even talking about with these examples?

>>717591598
SCP, but bionicle is a real stretch. Nobody gives a fuck about bionicle to even bother ripping it off.

>>717591863
They're way more Halo elites than bionicles anyway

>>717591863

>just lug a laser collector bro
>it weighs 15 nondescript weight units

>>717591809
Talking about pre1.0 where the progression was different. Don't really care that they nerfed the jet, unless the jump pack got a buff I still would not like it much.

>>717591925
Bruh, your gains?

>>717591921
Like what?

>>717591809
Jetpack was available before long jump in early access but was swapped in 1.0

>>717591981
I dont have strength 20 just yet

Ignore the fact that I took bad traits, it's my first run thru the game. regretting not taking fanny pack now

>>717591925
hotbar items have reduced weight

>>717591330
First two, absolutely. Long Jump + Jump pad is more than enough to clear everything in Hydroplant before you even have access to the Jetpack.

Lodestone spear hits through the shield if you just attack the ground near them. Triggers both holy fire which can also proc severe bleeds if you're high enough level in sharp.

>>717592326
now compare that to OP
they're fucking rakshi or whatever not halo elites

It's a shame that most registry entries don't tell you what the IS does, just containment procedure, I know a lot of this can be found out with Manse or mails but some of them don't and that doesn't give you a journal entry anyway.

if I open the doors in hydroplant where the composer is will he get out? considering leaving them closed

>>717592514
Nah, he stays in the warehouse. Sometimes mortar bot wanders in you get to watch and epic battle.

>>717592514
He doesn't go far, it's fine. He will usually be busy killing the same soldiers in the warehouse repeatedly.

>>717592041
>>717591978
that would make more sense considering how bad jetpack is and how good long jump is, I'm glad I crafted two because if I wasted my only jump for the shitpack I would have been pissed

>>717592180
I've only played Halo CE and the green Exor that fires needles whose arm you can use to make a gun with that's a lot like the Needler definitely had me thinking of Halo.

Holy shit the deatomizer wrecks every robot
>>717592630
I afked a few mins and they just wack each other without one dying

>>717592817
Honestly, I think it might be all of the above. The first Exors you see are meant to remind you of Vortigaunts, and then you get those Needler ones. I'm not familiar with Bionicle and don't know how popular it is but I wouldn't be surprised if they were another of the hundred references the game makes.

I broke hydroplant

>>717592257
>I need those slots for everything else
you only need a couple for weapons and healing and one for teleport. You should have slots left over

>>717592994
Composers can only be damaged by the rocket lawnchair, and their attack is weak as shit so he won't be killing a defense bot with it any time soon.

>>717592994
They don't kill each other, the benefit is that the composer distracts the defence bot allowing for easy repeated hits on the backpack weak point.

man the laser collector takes forever to fill

>>717593592
The gun you make from their arm is absolutely the needler. There's no need to be stubborn about pinpointing one source of inspiration from a game that makes references every single second. I could say Canaan and the witch hunters is a Bloodborne reference and while it's probably not the whole truth I would bet you money the developers were also thinking of Bloodborne with them.

you can just scoop the water back out with the same barrel, you don't need to move the filter ever

>>717593985
oh wow thats like 10x faster lmao

>>717594115
Well, yeah. The game even makes fowl puns about them.

>>717593886

Manse is overly cautious and pessimistic about many things the player will find beneficial, so it is natural to ignore his advice.

AHHHH ITS BECOMING RESISTANT TO THE ENRGY PISTL

How do you feel about the game copying concepts from other properties, like SCP and obviously Half Life? It's the sort of thing I normally hate but I don't mind it as much in AF.

Why can't I bring Nibbles home? 0/10 game until devs fix this oversight.

>>717595928
Some of the SCP is a bit too goofy for my taste but the overall idea of containing anomalous entities is very appealing and maaaaaaan you know we all love the office+lab aesthetic. I'm also not a huge fan of how the gatekeepers look, but it's whatever.

Chat I'm not gonna lie, the fun factor after the labs kind of plummet. Reactors is really fucking annoying.

>>717595928
Those properties didn't invent those things either, but in general
Taking a good idea = good.
Taking a bad idea = bad.

>>717596369
You're not alone, anon. Coming from someone who enjoyed Hydro, Reactors filtered me hard.

>>717596481
You don't need to open more than a couple gate crates anyway. After two you'll already have everything that they spawn anyway. Same with the fog crates.

>>717596554
Cloud reactor was the great filter, but in general the minigunners are gay sponges. Taking like 10 holy sawblades, their weak element, to die is not okay.

Did anyone think of a way to neuter the turrets guarding the way to the first Tarasque, once they're on your side ? I built my base near the Tram station there (goat spot to get anywhere in the game btw) and I'd like to have to fight off the raids again. I've thought of stacking the high office shelves to block their view but I don't know how effective that would be....

>>717573902
I wouldn't set up right in the lobby, but the B side tram station is arguably the best spot in the game.

>>717596703
it would be cool if they had exclusive cosmetics or furniture recipes in them, since all the chests are in set places anyway they could have set rewards for each
at least the relic chests look good for a base storage solution

>>717597000
Haven't done an Apocalypse playthrough myself but the early and middle psrts gives you weapons and traps that are vastly more powerful than the enemies you encounter. But later on the enemies become just as dangerous as you which is kind of a problem since the combat sucks mechanically. Unless you use mugnades. Mugnades rape everything.

>>717597000
All difficulty does is increase enemy numbers, but most enemies still aren't hard to beat if you know what you're doing.

Where exactly in Hydro was Kylie again

>>717587659
I've been using blunt but I think I'm going to swap. I have the impact hammer and it's pretty good at 1 shots right now but I need to use the charging attack for it. Really needs a few more weapons or just more damage overall.

>>717597239
A well hidden water maze on the way to the submarine room, before the vertical tube of fans

make sure to bring a neural chip and get the a security bot figurine so you don't have to to back more than once

There's a sewer area that leads to a flooded elevator shaft you have to swim through which leads to the area where she is. You access it by going down through the checkpoint next to the gate that's to your left when going through the area, and is opposite the big bridge leading to that fancy building. If you've already been through there you should have been able to unlock a red door shortcut that leads to the bottom area where Janet and Abe had a sub parked.

>>717598212
the labs tram has two stations. go to the second one

I literally didn't realize I was missing stuff with Kylie I just left her in a crate the whole game until the very end.

>>717598212
Dirac is on the right on the second level, Heimholtz is on the left once you get to the room with the turrets. Or through the left shortcut behind the containment rooms if you've opened it.

>>717598023
Shoot it until it dies. He's a joke compared to tarasques.

>>717598212
Wildlife pens level, go opposite them towards the Dirac/radioactive area with the exor. If you opened the door it should be pretty easy to get in, otherwise you have to go around a little bit to the area with the big gap and turrets.

My diet in this game consists of grilled alien meat and snacks.

This game is great for retraining you away from modern map design where everything is constantly tracked and easy to find and you're guided along by constant guidelines and shit.
It'll filter the fuck out of you if you have a bad sense of direction or suck at remembering landmarks, but you'll figure it out before the midway point if you're paying attention.

>>717579007
>Recursive, super-positioned location. The momentum of the train corresponds to the strong atomic force of the matter of the portal world. If it stopped, our galaxy would be destroyed due to the release of all potential energy contained within this anomaly's atoms.
The movement of the train embodies the fundamental nuclear force holding matter together in IS-0138. If it stops then all the energy in that universe would be freed instantaneously as if you just turned off that law of physics.
Every single particle of matter/energy in that universe would immediately undergo a process similar to nuclear fission. Ran some numbers and if every single particle in the universe (estimates put it at about 10^90) underwent fission at the same time it'd be like having 7.7x10^47 teratons of TNT go off. The energy output of the sun is about 91 teratons per second. If the train stops, it'd be like having the sun go supernova every second for over 30 decillion years - but it'd happen in an instant.
I don't know how exactly portal worlds connect to our universe but it's safe to say if the portal was still open (even if it is that 3'x3' circle as it appears in-game) it would probably do more than destroy the milky way.

The issue I am having is the darts do damage but aren't recoverable enough so I blew through all my mats.

Maybe I'm mistaken but I thought them pulling the dark lens, which caused all the chaos in the first place, damaged the train's automatic feeder. So he DOES have to keep feeding it now, where they did not before.

>>717602067
I have manufacturing basically memorized but I still constantly forget where those fucking exhangers are. Then when I do find the gem one is I forget how to get back to the liquid crystal one I passed a gorillion times already.

>stabs you repeatedly without any reaction to shields
Probably the only enemy that's just poorly designed.

>>717598023
If you want to cheese him, just wait till he spawns outside his cave. Have him rampage against the military guys at the bottom ski lift and clear the place out, then hide inside and lure him over. He can't fit inside and just shoot him through the door with your preferred ranged weapon. Fire works as well.

>>717593838
It takes around 8 minutes. Don't get fooled by the indicator, it's bugged and tell you it's full when it's at 10%+

>>717570032
I was disappointed he didn't gently punch you or talk in albatross.

>>717601831
Somehow I completely forget this serves a practical purpose outside of a hydro objective.

>>717603117
i dont remember seeing or reading anything about that, but you would think a scientist would be trying to fix that automatic feeder rather than consigning himself to be a coal shoveller until he dies of dehydration followed by the death of the literal universe soon after

>>717599781
Not having an easy way to generate clean water in large amounts until the labs provides you a good motivation to constantly press forward and not spend time dicking about, but I do wish there was some way to set up an IV feed bed where you get all your stats topped off while sleeping real quick and then never have to worry about it as long as you come home regularly.

>>717584025
>and there's no "we'll just go to another anteverse and stop it!"
Was that in the passage you posted or somewhere else? If so, why not?

>>717603689
it's okay because theyre resetting the portal before he dies of exhaustion so he can do it forever

>>717603689
Maybe the train lets him shovel forever like Albatross lets you run forever.

human engineering at its finest also how much much is after reactors?

>>717601198
>made base in train
>forgot to link teleporter
lmao

Can we get a woman totem to stop Carson from constantly spawning in my kitchen and blocking my fucking door?

>Carbuncle entry always reverts back to unread
I'M GONNA FREAK

the double throwables perk doesn't work for darts
GAAAAAAAAAY

Other scientists should scream when they see me
>>717604554
That's the real anomaly

>>717584025
But Anteverse 23 and GATE Arch Defense Facility contradict this.
The former is an alternate future Earth, and the latter is either the same or an alternate future Earth, meaning there is time/anteverse related shenanigans.

>>717602471
Any/all, they’re a gnostic religious order who speak in their own derivative of Roman latin and were instrumental in the rise of Christianity and Islam, the fall of Constantinople, and more all for the purpose of protecting humanity. The Praetorium also states outright they were established to fight an invasion from the Reaper

>>717598023
I used the toaster smg

>>717604067
it clearly doesnt cuz we ourselves dont get infinite stamina while there like we do on albatross
stop being obtuse

>>717598023
>make laser katana
>wail on him from a distance until he dies

>>717604727
>fight an invasion from the reaper
>an entity who is entirely immune to everything except high energy emissions like lasers
>the order doesnt use lasers anywhere, like not even a little bit
???
i know these quas-religious orders are retarded as a matter of course but you would think they'd have figured that one out after millennia

>>717603292
we set up a couple of beacons in my game, though once we did 1 big wheat exchange we havent had to go back at all

>>717602067
i am this friend in my own group
don't be too hard on him because he probably feels shitty about it
I ended up having to play a bunch on my own re-treading areas we already played to figure out how to navigate anything because it just doesn't stick if I'm not making a concerted effort. I ended up making a portal to labs in an alcove above a door near where the silver trading machine is just because I got lost so many damn times trying to find it.

>>717603689
How is he supposed to fix it and shovel coal at the same time?

Why isn't there an option to automatically pick up ammo dropped by human enemies ? Having to crouch next to the body and click the ammo box pixel's protuding out of the corpse gets old real quick.

>>717598531
Most soups give a buff that slows your hunger and thirst rate.

>>717605041
vac

>>717605041
all they need to do is change it so that corpses don't block interactions

>>717605021
have you ever fired a charcoal/coal burning grill?
sorry i know you havent because no one on here has
when you set charcoal or coal on fire, it burns for a while. the more that's there, the longer it burns
after he fills it up he could probably take a break for at least 15 minutes and work on the auto feeder.

>>717604062
Which is odd because the portals won't reset with scientists inside

>>717605119
doesn't work for me
>>717605194
would be a step in the right direction, but make the throwing skill also work for ammo boxes and we're good

>put Kylie in shield
>find the robot
>it eats up my shield entirely
Fuck sake

Is there a way to recharge your stuff in Canaan? I've seen a plug next to the fake fisherman but I don't carry a rechargeable plate, I didn't expect this zone to be so big

>>717605380
they fired him so they could keep the anteverse stable

>>717605469
no. bite the bullet and go smash the lodestone

>>717605469
Nope, you have to have the stuff on you when you get in there. Might be a good idea to bring a charger and battery with you to set up somewhere

>>717605232
I've actually shovelled coal in a steam train, best friend was obsessed about them and got a tour at the local one (his family actually lived in an apartment on the second floor of the old station-house), just a few shovels tho. (and it was like 25 years ago, think i was 12 or 13)

(Another funny thing is that my great great grandma was the first female train-station manager in Sweden)

>>717605469
There's a couple of plugs around the place, often partially hidden in hay.
If you're using battery stuff, you might want to get the trinket that naturally recharge your stuff. For laser, not such luck tho.

>>717605469
there's an outpost with a plug behind the swamp shack, great TP spot for free lodestones

I rushed to the zipline and this idiot jumped off to follow me

>>717598531
Dude soup is fucking OP.

>>717605464
dont be such a baby, its a small price to pay for fulfilling your promise

>>717605568
I've yet to locate it, I've killed everyone in the whole village and it seems I need it at the chief's place to repair something, so I've went to the mine
That's a bit unfortunate because I'm soon out of power both in my head lamp and my other lamp and I can't see shit lmao. Hopefully I find it quickly and get out of this hellhole asap.

>>717605591
wtf cool

HUH, ALL THE KASKADIAN OR WITCHES AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM, GET OFF THIS COMMUNITY BECAUSE IT IS FOR PAETRA CHOSEN PEOPLE ONLY, UNDERSTAND, CAUSE IF YOU DON'T I WILL BURN WITCHES AGAIN!!!

>>717605826
there's a ladder in there that it might be hard to find with no light. keep bumbling around for it

>>717569020
>There are slightly higher CPU requirements if you are the Host in a multiplayer session, especially with several players. Abiotic Factor runs on Unreal Engine 5. In spite of the art style, this will probably not run on your PC from 1997.

The woodsmans axe is so satisfying to use. Just sprinting straight into things and bonk.

>>717605826
Hint: You can sit on buckets in Canaan.
Check the water mill.

>>717606032
It ran fine on W7 with GTX970 without having to lower much of the settings.

>>717606106
Oh, I went there and did that, is it there? I must have missed.
By the way, can I scrap the diaries I found? I'm a bit of a hoarder.

>>717587659
It's good if you want to do a true melee build. If you can get your hands on the maestro armor set plus the fog lantern trinket (for damn near infinite stamina). And you get your strength up to wield heavy melee weapons. Then using the newly added sprinting running attack with the impact hammer's right click can one shot a lot of enemies. It also helps if you get sneak up as well. As stupid as it sounds, the giant heavy impact hammer actually becomes the best stealth weapon in the game

>>717606198
diaries you find are just for lore

>>717606198
the swamp is on the other side of the buckets bro. you need to find the swamp "witch" and get the lodestone

>>717606221
Heavy blunt get mogged by Heavy sharp, a sprint attack with the carbon pickaxe just delete everything.

>>717606198
there is a jump that looks like you can't make it but you can

>>717606317
Yeah I thought the bucked led to the exit of the mine, but it was further, woops.

>>717606270
I see, thanks

>>717605469
I just carry a makeshift battery for the charger. Crystalline vial keeps it charged.

>>717606221
>the strongest build in the game is the 'sprint at enemy's back with crowbar 2.0, jump just before reaching detection zone and slam crowbar into the back of their head with sprinting mid-air heavy'
this game is ridiculous and i love it

hey look it's that FUCKING TABLE THAT I HATE

I'm out of this hellhole finally! Thanks /v/ros!

>>717606970
>cant get in to smash that shit

>>717606990
Canaan truly is the worst part of the game

Leave me alone you creepy fuck

>>717601046
Things are only grindy if they are boring imo. something could take 2x as long and be less grindy if its way more fun to do. And fishing sucks ass

>>717602428
Everybody needs a base decorator and cook.

>riding tram
>rail just disappears randomly and the tram carries on unhindered
fucking why?

man some of the VAs sound weird and completely detached, but that might fit for autistic scientists who have become desensitized to reality being completely fucked maybe

dr manse sounds good

I love this creepy ass nigga and his reinforced hoses so much

>>717607539
Before 1.0 there weren't any rails at all. I'm surprised they left sections without them.

>>717607542
Finding his reports is honestly one of the bigger highlights of exploring for me.

Uuuh
What now

>>717607859
I like to think the cliffhanger the game ended on with him still being missing is going to lead up to us getting to meet him, it would be cool if he became a wandering trader afterwards selling you end-game tier stuff

>>717608019
pray

>>717603897
I forgot to copy, basically Zag said there's two anteverse's with GATE and presumedly The Order, 0 and 23(?). Whatever one had the zombie invasion.

>>717607859
Look, you aren't the only one

>>717608225
>dr manse is your constant companion the whole game, following a breadcrumb trail of his notes left behind, giving you insight into the facility and the people and the IS subjects in it

>you never find him or another record after that

>>717600540
bring a repair and salvage station with you, dummy
there's a reason there's plugs everywhere

>>717608025
anon...

Quill spear or volt staff, which is the better upgrade

>>717608752
it takes one whack with the sledge hammer

can you keep playing after finishing? i want to see the plot with Cahn to the end without spoilers but I don't know if he's going to delete my save or some shit

>>717609164
This fugging game, man. Okay fine stealthed night magnum will kill in one headshot, that's acceptable.

>>717609278
you can keep playing

>>717609093
Volt so you don't have to carry ammo and it makes quick work of Jotuns

>>717604636
Just based on what the director said we can assume that
A) Time is linear and you were always meant to go forward in time to GATE Arch Defense
B) Each Anteverse is unique, and Anteverse 23 isn't an alternate future Earth but an Earth-like anteverse that just so happened to end up getting a zombie infection instead of the nonsense we have going on now.

Of course things can always change.

>>717604636
A question asked because it is answered. You went because you returned.

>>717609351
23 probably is an AU earth since an email mentions meeting an AU version of someone
also the zombie infection was GATEs fault lmao

>>717605730
who
what am I looking at

>>717566436 (OP)
These guys look familiar.

Any tips on fighting the waves on reactor activation?

Why does this game rape my graphics card? It looks like ass and there's not even that much stuff going on.

Unlost sister needs some correction...

>>717602230
Why do gamer girls always have zero spatial awareness? I know one who has to make L signs with her hands to tell left from right and she STILL forgets which is which sometimes.

>>717611210
I also play Outlast Trials with her and it's basically the same thing, if I'm not holding her hand she's lost making the same turns over and over.

>>717610924

Also for a top tier backpack, get a net launcher, shoot it at a rat guy, then beat him to death with a blunt weapon
Use the platform cart, or put your base on a road and use the forklift

wtf

>>717608532
there's several more logs after that, there's 1 audio log right before he abandons GATE and it's the only one with animation in it

>have craving for more sandbox
>look up grounded 1
>same price as abiotic despite being 5 years old
what the fuck

>>717611921
I've been down here too long, man...

>>717611921
no that's what the pest in a vacuum is for
just make sure to heed kleiner's words about getting it de-beaked first

>>717612313
just Micro$oft things

>>717612313
It's on gamepass

>>717612313
It's a great game, worth it

>>717612964
is it actually? reviews of it seem more critical than abiotic was, and im cautious of any sandbox as most that came out in the past 10 years have been kinda shit and unfinished/unpolished
i need to convince my friends to get it too so I'll need to wait for a sale

>>717611210
Because men and women are different anon...

>>717607725
He truly is best boy

>>717613045
It's very clearly an xbox game ported to PC, if casual console UIs made for controllers annoy you it won't be fun. State of Decay was the same way and it took pretty much every other good thing about the game to help me get over it.

>>717613045
It is actually. It's finished and polished. Combat is better, there's a perfect parry system, enemies are harder and have better behavior patterns. Good base building and crafting. It has ziplines.

>>717612180
where is that log?

>>717612313
you can move the install folder and launch it locally after refunding the game. Or could, at least.

>>717613325
once you fix the storm you can go to the top floor where the final audio log is
when you get the flamethrower there's an ice wall you can melt on that top floor which leads to all the exec offices including his
given the contents you were clearly meant to read it before you beat the game

>>717611604
It really feels like they never intended for there to be female scientists, but changed their minds last minute and added skirts and tiddybump shirts but didn't bother making any female heads to choose from.

Plus I can't stand the OI'M BRI'ISH female pc voice. Or is she supposed to be a fucking kiwi? Either way hearing her say "I'M FEELING A BIT SNACKY" and "TIME TO SPEND A PENNY" all the time got annoying so I swapped over to the Half-Life Scientist mod and now every time he gets injured and screams I smile.

>>717613619
female scientists and the lgbtxzp+ ties feel very tacked on for bonus points but i can't bring myself to give a shit about it considering how good the game and the devs are. Especially when it's such a small thing they never actually allude to.

>>717602471
Sound like south african while the breachers have a russian cadence to them. South african afrikaans is a really underrated bad guy voice dialect.

>>717613619
>Plus I can't stand the OI'M BRI'ISH female pc voice
That's what killed it for me. Would have been much better if they just used a nerdy voice. Here's hoping they add more voices or someone makes a mod.

>>717611451
NOT FUCKING FAIR

>>717609947
You're a scientist. Don't fight fair, use your superior intellect. You can build defenses.

Finally finished fucking labs
Hopefully security isn't too bad although it's dark as shit

>>717614527
Hint: there's a power plug next to the pool of ink.

>>717611451
What does a witch smell like?

>>717614527
security is actually pretty short, but you can get lost. A tip is that you progress by finding each of the 3 portals, it's purposefully designed so that you can't access the later areas until you teleport there and open a gate
if you're annoyed by the darkness you can be like me and craft a bunch of lights to put there
you're almost at midway through the game now

>>717614650
sage smoke

>>717614650
elderly potpourri

is their an easier way to share recipes between everyone? same goes for keypads

>>717614650
Literally incense, they carry around censers.

>>717614527
Grats. It only gets more annoying from labs onward.

>>717614864
there's a furniture you can make which supposed does it

>>717614864
brain sync chair
you need to either share the keypad and communicate or make multiple though

>>717614864
its not very viable to give everyone a keypad as the mats become more expensive, so you just need to stick with 1 main player having the most upgraded keypad

Whoevers idea was it for hydroplant to have all these fucking locked doors and level 5 keypads everywhere making navigating a complete fucking annoying pain in the ass you are a NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER.

I CANT BREATHE

>>717614650

Does the red tarrasque drop anything unique or same shit as the blue one

>>717616149
Red skull for red helmet that gives marginally more armor.

>>717594342
Your character just casually ignores all sorts of containment protocol
I mean, Flathill, Security, Labs

>>717568473
You can use tech scrap to lay extension cords from outlets. You need a battery farm next to the outlet you're using to keep the teslas going overnight. You need more like 16 teslas, not 6. Otherwise, the bots will be able to get an attack off each time they spawn.

I dont see anythign on the wiki

>>717617265
Did you skip the intro? The game takes place in kangaroo land so the Queebslander cunts are too busy playing Rust.

>>717617265
Probably in the United States, given the game takes place in Australia
