If only this game gave you movement options, stealth, and the ability to build barricades and bridges.

>>717622803
go back to the village to get the exor armor recipe and you won't need them anymore

>>717622803
Go down the staircase furthest to the left where all the order niggers are in, there's a pathway with a bunch of random bullshit leading up to the gun emplacement. Also, you can craft the Exor armor with the bionic legs, so you get keep the bonus movement speed but also get an invincible minion to help you fight

I knew he wasn't human when he appeared in the night realm as the one talking shade only to appear again as if nothing happened. Going through that place makes me think being turned into a shade is a one way deal and how he managed to reverse it and escape told me he isn't who he seems.

What is this, a crafting survival game like Subnautica but with more combat, or more exploration with less building?

Crawl around and look for coffee for their coffee hole.

The wandering farmer scientist chick’s voice makes me hard. Why does she talk in such a weird way

>>717623330
Survival crafting like subnautica except in a Black Mesa facility. Every different sector is a new biome with different enemies and resources to scavenge. Progression is made through new tool recipes to unlock doors and barriers.

>>717623435

It's not necessarily that he turned into a shade, I think
The Sister of the Unlost also shows up as a shade in right about the same spot she's standing in in the real world

>>717623330
The best way I can describe the game is basically a mix between half-life 1, project zomboid (in the least autistic way possible) and Subnautica along with heavy reliance on the best era of the SCP project. Before redditors and children took over.
It might sound corny and shit but it's really good, the devs managed to do it right and it's interesting rather than being an OC cringe fest.

>>717623712

This nigger didn't invent the energy pistol yet lmao.

>>717622990
>>717623130
>go back to the village to get the exor armor recipe
Huh what

>>717623790
nta but i didnt know you could get grabbed. it would always immediately try to cut me up despite not having the pistol or using lasers in the basement area

>>717623501
>>717623782
I like that vibe, going to grab it then. Thanks

>>717623896
Did you hit him with the xray?
Or if he's nabbed your friend first, you die

>>717623790
Yeah but they buffed him so you either are fast enough to get the laser pistol before it goes turbotard mode out or you have to almost completely blast through the battery.

>>717623896
xray beam makes him angry

>>717623892
there's a big exor you can talk to who says "god noticed you, your fucked mate" and gives u recipe for exor armor

>>717623939
>>717623960
I was playing solo, didn’t bring the xray gun with me either. He touched me and then nothing happened and then he started chopping me up lol. Maybe the grab failed or soemthing

>>717623943
Huh? Are you lasering him in the eye? Once I discovered the laser pistol hurts him the reapers been my bitch ever since.

>>717624047
I think reaper is bugged. I literally never got grabbed, only ever sliced.

>>717623790
As >>717623712,
The energy pistol used to be good on him, now it just pisses him off. It makes him drop an orb, but at least once I chose to let him grab me instead of jumping around dodging him like a retard when he surprised me and had me pinned in an area.

>>717624313
the e pistol seems to work a couple of times and then it becomes resistant

>Upgrade from the energy pistol to laser pistol
>It's unironically a downgrade
What did they mean by this

>>717624313
What do you mean used to be? It's still the best anti-niggerghost spray you can use. Just a few zappity zap zaps and he poofs away, sometimes he does get enraged but all you have to do is juke once he gets stunned and keep firing away. Security Sector isn't even scary anymore once he became my bitch.

>>717624479
It does more damage though? I just crafted it before turning the game off for the day.
What makes it worse?

>>717624447
>>717624527
When I say used to be, I mean before 1.0. I don't recall if it instantly deleted him, but I remember being completely unconcerned by him after I got the pistol before. I briefly shat myself when unloading into him more recently and having him still come at me. Even moreso when I dragged him into the environmental laser and he shrugged that off and still wanted to impale my ass.

>>717624613
The footstep sounds are really gross, can we put shoes on this nigger in a future update?

>>717624479
Welcome to Abiotic "upgrades" Factor, where you can't hardly just get a straight upgrade and have to replace the useful gimmicks with something worse for "balance" because fuck you.

>>717624692
He definitely does have a rage mode where he can eat more lasers than normal but all you really have to do is keep distance and just keep lasering his stupid fucking bird eye.

>>717624613
I gave him a couch and a fridge and random shit I might need. Very helpful when he turned up as my dude was exhausted, and another time when I was setting up a mini base and he popped up with a table and fridge for me.

Holy shit just look at the item nigger

>>717624957
I looked it at you fucking mongoloid.
30 Damage compared to 10 damage on the Energy Pistol is what it says in game.
Wiki says it apparently only does 10 more because of how the damage is calculated.

>>717625091
It needs laser energy to recharge as opposed to just regular battery energy which makes it useless in practicality you fucking dipshit secondary.

/v/irgins get mad if they see you talk about a game they don't see daily threads for (you must be a shill!). But with the volume of people who were evidently waiting for 1.0, they can't play that card as easily anymore.

Is fertilizer even worth bothering with? Running around at night trying to catch pixies at night and getting like 2 for 2 blocks of fertilizer is cancerous enough but the higher tier shit all requires multiple pixies for just one.

If you are playing multiplayer, and it's your job to man the gardens, it gives you something to do, I suppose. But 1 person's low food needs mean it's absolutely unnecessary solo. It's not that expensive to just build another garden (but build the biggest ones, they seem the most water efficient).

hearth better than spuddy for ammo drops?

>>717626048
It would be if you were running bullshit rules or were the dedicated farmer in a serb with lots of people

Why does this game give you so many options to make your character look trans?

>>717626048
no, fertilizer is a super afterthought as you'll likely have absolute piles of fresh food long before you even get the freezer. You can make the best fucking stew in the game off the rip from just killing exors so it's kind of a moot point to farm at all.

>>717626284
Why not both

>>717626316
Please stop looking for reasons to be mad. Your accusation doesn't even make sense, because no tranny wants to look like a tranny.

>>717625917
I suspect it's a City Hunter reference but I'm probably wrong.

Honestly oftentimes I'll just check the fridge and it's like 40 pieces of rotten food because jesus you don't need that much and increasing hunger just makes it annoying

>>717626316
>Don't bother separating any of the cosmetics by gender so you can use whatever you want with no restrictions because fuck it.
THIS MEANS ITS WOKE

>>717626284
Pretty sure Hearth just makes sure the enemies always drop ammo when applicable, and always for the highest ammount possible. Spuddy would be increasing the odds for the other items in the pool, like guns, order keys, ect.

>>717626048
the regular fertilizer won't let you finish growing shit without watering it again so no there's no point to it whatsoever
i doubt the super fertilizer does either but i haven't used it since before 1.0 so i cant say for sure

Neither will ever make the drops significant enough that you can use anything other than the sniper/revolver. Give up on military weapons without a mod to 10x ammo drops. They already lose out on damage to every single science weapon despite those having craftable ammo/use batteries etc.

>>717627167
Plasmois Rifle is pretty good at melting the final boss, thoughbeit. It also helps that basically every enemy in the late game from Voussoir onwards carries 5.56.

They really need to buff the healing syringe, that thing is absolutely worthless.
That thing is so slow that by the time it actually heal you, you'll have either already killed or been killed by whatever maimed you anyway.

>>717627526
Bruh its a recovery item so it doesn't take 20 years for you to get back to full hp after being beat up. Its not a panic button.

>>717627526
I had stopped carrying them until the final battle on my first playthrough because of how shit they were, somehow the Briefcase heals way more efficiently even though it's meant to be a gimmicky AoE squad heal type thing

Anyone know how many Rockets I'll need for the final boss? I got 17 atm.

>>717626479
It looks like a similar art style. I was curious and I reverse checked it, but nothing came out. The names (Kingsley and Rowan) aren't from City Hunter either.
So I guess it's either devs' avatars, or like the other anon suggested, husbandos.

The briefcase heals a fixed amount divided by targets so it's objectively worse at healing more than one dude. The main appeal is that it's energy based so you can just carry a charging station around and plug it into the wall to get all your life back at any point.

>>717627962
Yeah, it's great. I'm not a huge fan of survival crafting, but this game is really different from the others. The first couple of hours were a bit rough, but after that it's a lot of fun. The exploration is especially great.
You can also change some settings, like hunger rate, this usual stuff kind of stuff to make it easier solo too.

>>717627865

Is our protagonist the definition of weaponized autism?

>>717628119
So i've just gotten to the part where I got the recipe for the briefcase, does combining it with the energy recharge trinket work? Seems pretty good

Is Leyak bugged? Because I swear I stared at him every time I saw him before he hunted me. The game is unfinished so it's up in the air.
I also read that you're made aware of him the room before you encounter him in previous threads. Not true for me. I was made aware of him in Manufacturing West and saw him in labs after a few more warnings

>>717628561

>>717628119
>just carry a charging station around
I know the game itself incentives you to have one on you (especially when you reach Canaan) but I don't understand how you're supposed to bring back materials with too many equipment (weapons, tech stuff, heals...)
I guess I just bring too much shit with me, or maybe it's because I still have the Radio backpack all the way until the fifth biome and there are better backpacks I haven't found/unlocked. I don't even want to know how the game feels without the fanny pack.

I can't escape the zoner faggots in non fightan games too huh...

>>717621373 (OP)

>>717628941
Why would you need a charging station with you if you have the Crystalline Vial on?

>>717628941
Doesnt the radio backpack have less slots than the military one? I get that the passive is useful but i'd probably compensate it with trinkets instead of sacrificing inv slots desu

>>717629218
I didn't even know it did that, I thought it was only useful for revealing some enemies.
Now I can finally switch my backpack I guess.

>>717628941
I'd definitely swap out the radio pack, ESPECIALLY if you're going to carry around a charging station anyway. When I played with friends before I always had a charger too, especially to keep the briefcase charged up all the time, but I always valued more slots over the reduced power drain.

Love me spears.

If you get to canaan without making a research pack you're fucking up.

Only one. I aint a cheating whore.

Dr. Derek Manse reporting, Research Director, GATE Cascade Research Facility.
For some reasons I'm still unclear about, Keystone decided to outsource most of our containment duty to India, most likely to cut on cost.
I was unsurprised then, to find out that containment procedures have been completely overlooked or outright ignored.
IS-0102 was left in the open, infecting several thousands people, and an small piece of IS-0154 was used as a paperweight in some dubious [REDACTED] call center.
But what I found particularly more damning, is that their careleness seemed to have undeniably damaged or otherwise destroyed some of those anomalies, potentially permanently.
For instance, IS-0013 is now filled with cow dung, IS-0223 was sexually assaulted repeatedly, IS-1057 is now brown, IS-0083 no longer work after being dumped in the Ganges, IS-0138 is now suffering from an overcrowding problem, and more.
This cannot be allowed to continue, I will send a strongly worded letter to Keystone about this in the coming days.

With how buggy 1.0 is I don't know why they decided to release it now instead of waiting a few more months. Oh and it's still not finished because the devs are retarded.

>>717630829
I mean, it was clearly an half-assed release, 1.0 ends with a goddamn cliffhanger.

>>717630791

I know it gets replaced pretty fast, but its so nice early on. Especially now that you can actually regain stamina slowly while fully over-encumbered.

>>717628295
No, I haven't looked at her 5x5 res nametag showing she's a weirdo that they obviously only added to the character to make up for her irl actors poor acting. She's not going to fuck you, so stop simping for her.

>>717631015
The rat pack made me realize how fucking useless the weight reduction is.
90% of the time I was out of backpack space BEFORE I was encumbered.

>>717627962
Final boss is designed around a party of 4, but the rest of the game is scaled to solo. So just stock up on rockets as you play and you're golden.

>>717631286
Or carry 2 or 3 deatomizers.
And a laser collector.
And don't do the fight at night, as I found out that even if Albatross is always daytime, nighttime power rule applies.

>>717630465
I made it out all the way until Canada (quebec), yeah you can stay I fucked it up a lot.
But I like exploring...

>>717628437
mogus lol

>>717625143
You can still hand crank it, tho. So when you're doing the slow sweep of a new place, it's perfect.

>>717631608
nta it takes forever and also you can't do it while sprinting without the reload perk, which you can't get using it because for whatever reason, they decided you shouldn't get reload xp from reloading a laser weapon.
Really the only time it was convenient to reload the damn thing was when I was underwater swimming.

Is there any easy way to kill volatile exors?

Monks can be combod with running crowbar + 2 shotgun shells

>>717631608
It's 5 seconds of cranking for one shot anon. Otherwise with the energy trinket you get one energy back every 2 seconds, and it takes about a full second to fire. You effectively have infinite ammo.

is it at all possible to boot this shit using an igpu? The shader compilation is like 2400+ and it takes 3-5 seconds between each 1..

>>717627962
If you at the very least triple stack sizes and double XP gain, sure. Optionally, you can also reduce item weight. This game is designed around multiplayer, so the solo grind for some stuff is just abysmal at default values. Having to go back and forth from your base 10 times every trip gets old REAL fast.

>>717623435
whats wrong with the proportions in this game? her knees are not supposed to be that far down

>>717631286

the fuck are you talking about, it was piss easy and you can pretty much instantly skip a good chunk of the fight if you cheese it with the polished antique shotgun instead of using it to gib other players "accidentally"

and thats not even taking into consideration food buffs, deployables and other shit you could use

unless you are thinking about 4 complete retards the end fight was ridiculously easy solo and rather disappointing

>>717631918
Grinding in multiplayer is worse.

>>717628471
>Wrong face
>Job title not listed in character creation
>Not listed as personnel in your pokedex

>>717628941
You're supposed to decide what you're doing. Backpacks have different perks, slots available, and weight mitigation %s. I went through Canaan without charging. This was before the "calibrate equipment" nonsense started and the jetpack got nerfed. So I was able to use the personal teleporter to give up when I ran out of supplies, and use accumulated knowledge to get farther and farther. Without that, I guess the strat would have been to sortie farther and farther from the starting portal.

>>717632019
>and you can pretty much instantly skip a good chunk of the fight if you cheese it with the polished antique shotgun
If you're lucky.
I shot about 160 times at the thing (used all my shotgun ammo) and the gimmick never triggered.

>>717632083

what can i say, it triggers pretty often for me, it says its a 2% chance but i'm sure that has to be 2% per pellet since i trigger it considerably often.

most importantly it always fucking triggers when there is another player in range of it and blows them up but that might just be coincidence

>>717632035
>Job title not listed in character creation
What, you can be a chef
I also don't think the faces consistently match with everyone anyways

>>717632468
Anon, the title on her card was clearly written with a pen.

>>717626048
>Is fertilizer even worth bothering with?
imo, fuck no. Even if fertiliser lasted for several growth cycles, the only singular source being anomalies you MIGHT see at night (which means you need to make a conscious effort to always be carrying around test tubes) is just far too impractical. And as far as I can tell there's no indefinite storage solution for them, aside from possibly the cold storage pack, and large plots use water so slowly you rarely have to think about it. Best used early on for small plots, and maybe medium as well to reduce water consumption, but would never bother above T1.

>>717632748
They would be worth it if they actually fucking helped with the yield of rare shit, why can't it let me get 1 antelight and its seed at the same time if used on it

>>717632748
The fact anomalies fucking decay is the gayest shit, especially because he eats up your test tub in the process.

What's with the stupid amount of ghosting in this game

Who is his VA? He does a fantastic job, I could actually hear this in his voice.

Player is an IS. You're already "working" for Cahn when you get there.
Janet and the The Unlost Witch have some connection. Might be time travel hijinks.

There's just too much crap you HAVE to fucking grab and too many things you just HAVE to have on you.
They should've handed you an extra row of inventory by default and reduced the importance of certain scraps on crafting by removing a few crafting reqs and/or the amounts needed

>>717629685
Next time I'll probably go throwables. With weapon repairs, it's not like I'm not also paying a high material upkeep anyways.

>>717633352
What the fuck do you mean anon? I have like every medicine in the game and six fucking weapons + duct tape/ammo and still have 24 inventory slots. What are you dragging around?

>>717630791
At least IS-0091 is suitability distracted and not bothering humans.

>>717633352
I'll let you in on a good cheat. Carry the platform cart with you, everywhere. When you get full, slap it down, and fill it with everything bulky, and everything you probably won't find more of for the rest of your expedition. Then... leave it there. If you're playing solo like I assume you are, then you can recall the cart directly into the plaza... any time. All your junk will come with it. And you can divvy it out to your containers from there.

It's not cheating. Lorewise, you're putting Warren to work to go fetch it for you. He's a slacker, he deserves it.

Is there a better way to farm magnetics then fishing up Inkfish to turn into Night Essences that I can then trade to the guard?

>>717633643
I should have put that first "cheat" in quotes.

>>717633362
Oh no anon. Throwables blow but PSA to you and every single other human in this thread;

Weapons have a fixed % chance to take EXACTLY ONE point of damage on use. This number is completely arbitrary and varies from weapon to weapon tier to tier. You can reduce this chance below 0 with crafting levels to make items effectively immortal. Also you should be repairing almost everything with duct tape instead of the requisite materials unless it's something super easy like carbon/metal scrap.

>>717633643
>you can recall the cart directly into the plaza
You can recall crafted carts?!

>>717633697
Probably not. Especially since you can build a tacklebox and base with chef counter at the ink pool.

>>717632035
Looks like it was blue before she scribbled over it, so like Dr Cahn, she's Containment

>>717633697
These blue crates found in Security sector. A couple of which are in the night sector (meaning they respawn weekly). And the face-shield shotgun fucks in Yetiland drop them, too.

>>717633720
Yes. Look for the button out by Warren, the dude holed up in the security office.

>>717633720
there is a button next to warren's booth

>>717633859
Yea, I already juiced all the crates in security, and the few that respawn in the last section of the night sector isn't enough, so I guess I'm just gonna not feel bad about abusing the instant fishing mod.

>>717633708
What do you mean throwables blow? Nothing is more fun than making an enemy a pincushion!

>>717633951
I could be wrong, but I think some dudes in Praetorium drop them, too. And you're probably going to farm there anyways for the Tactical Scrap the librarian guys drop.

>>717633697
Lads in the portal world in hydro drop that stuff but otherwise no. Just get your 4 guaranteed night juice every portal reset or stop being a pussy and farm the reaper

>>717634041
You lose one stock of a throwable when using it in melee, and they typically just do way less fucking damage than ranged weapons outside of grenades. Kind of retarded they're so expensive to make compared to ammo of the same caliber.

>>717633708
Throwing weapons are entirely OP. Darts are okay early game for wiping out weak enemies, use the spear for anything bigger than a peccary.

By end game you'll stunlock Jotuns and have an infinite throwing weapon.

>>717634162
Why the fuck would you use throwables as a melee? Are you retarded?

>>717634205
Jotuns die in 5 fucking running melees. No way I'm throwing a slushie and two grenades and thirty fucking darts or the pickaxe 50 times.

>>717634041
This!

>>717634069
I'm only in the Hydroplant atm, just wanted to make sure there wasn't something intended that I was overlooking since fishing is something that's intended to take longer but I couldn't be assed after leveling it to like level 5 the normal way. I got game to play, and rods fish too slow.

>>717634105
Farming the reaper sucks dicks because they put it on a cooldown.
>need 10 gagillion night essence for everything
>reaper drops 1 every 3 minutes

>>717634289
>embedded quils act like armor against other projectiles

>>717634296
If you are in hydroplant then just grab a plant rope, make yourself an easy entrance to the yeti portal and farm the grunts there for mag alloy

>>717634316
It's every 30 seconds, but yeah. Honestly a few items in the game primary coming from crates despite having a million recipes makes me less guilty about turning on respawning crates in the sandbox settings.

>>717623549
Thats why people resort to "shitting" on games that they like to actually have a discussion on this board. Easier engagement bumps to keep it alive and jannies will leave it alone

>>717622986
>and the ability to build barricades and bridges.
I have quite literally never crafted either of them, I'm a parkourfag
>Stealth
Literally doesn't work in that specific section

>The guy looks really cool and aurafarms there
>Going through can be actually difficult with the stupid mortarbots nuking and chasing you
>He actually has a cool voice and nice lines
Oh wow what a nice sectio-
>He keeps looping the said lines the second its done even after you're out of that specific area
Damn it.

>>717634316
It might honestly be faster to try fishing for it, Inkfish have a 25% chance to drop it after butchering them

>>717632835
Fertiliser as a whole just needs an entire rethink. Increasing yield for items like antelight would certainly give incentive to at least craft a few.

>>717634456
This gets really fucking bad with the sawblades. I'm literally granting them protection from myself.

>>717634804
His voice won't loop when he's fucking dead. Kill him and his robot buddies. Then it'll be just a single mortar bot who camps up there on repeat visits.

Now his nice little battle standard hangs farming aura in my cafeteria.

>>717623330
System Shock with a Half-Life aesthetic and SCP lore.

>>717634285
It's like less than 10 point hardlight sword tosses.

I really like scrounging for resources and building defenses in this game but raids are pitiful.

Honestly you could make a game with just those two aspects alone. Imagine a city scape plagued with various monsters and in order to survive you have to go out during the day to scavenge for supplies and resources, then at night you hole up in your makeshift base in some apartment complex or mall or whatever with all manner of barricades and defenses to fend off the hordes. Is there anything like that out there?

Are any of the vehicles ever worth it

just found out you keep holding electrical wire while using teleport pads so you can connect two points through a wall you otherwise couldn't get around normally

>>717635607
forklift's the most versatile but i like getting some sick air with the cart and suv

>>717635607
Bionic legs so no

is there a nice weapon to get through all these beefy faggots in the reactor areas?

>>717633720
Every single vehicle that has an inventory, carts included, can be recalled to their spawn location in case of bugs. Since carts don't have a spawn location, there's one single button next to Warren in Offices that can recall all placed carts in all worlds.
This is why I set up my main bases next to vehicle spawns. I can just drive it where I need to loot. Fill it up, and then teleport back and recall the filled up vehicle with all its loot.

>>717635876
Get a deatomizer or skink

>>717635876
If you have sneak maxxed out the upgraded Magbow oneshots every Gatekeeper enemy type from behind on a sneak attack except for Jotuns. Those you just need raw DPS to kill.

>>717636323
deatomizer is only good against like one dude then it's hungry again.

fuck hydro
guess i dont progress past this lmao

For those that have not embraced the light of max speed remember that the bionic legs stack with the set bonus from exor armor, so if you wear 2 other pieces + the bionic legs you can go breakneck speed

add the chieftain backpack and the order trinket for bragging rights

scratches the itch

>>717636527
i cant figure out where to go after you talk to the two people and kickstart the power
ive crawled through all the vents
ive went back through the tram area on the side
ive checked all the doors repeatedly
i even jumped over to the docks and tried to swim across but got ated by something, came back and saw the zipline so i guess thats a shortcut back
all i can run into are locked doors or T5 hack pads that i dont have the recipe for
this shits got me feeling flat ass retarded

Holy SHIT mugnades do so much damage

>>717636815
>Can't figure out where to go.
Get to the area with the submarine and go up the lift

>>717636410
Carry laser collectors to recharge on the go. You don't have to build them to refill a weapon. Have a set recharging at base and alternate when empty.

>>717636510
how in the fuck do you make cyberpunk 2077 look like this

>>717636923
>the submarine
the fuckin what

>>717636815
>>717637116
Jump into the reservoir, hug the damn itself, you'll find a bay for a broken sub. There's a lift that other anon mentioned, once you get out of the room it leads to turn around and go up the stairs.

>>717637116
the thing the two people are sitting on is a sub

>>717636224
If I knew this, and how the vacuum worked it would have been amazing

>>717637337
>jump into the reservoir
how the fuck are you supposed to know to do that
did the fucking temps make this level? all the previous shit was really well laid out
>>717637369
no my dude
the thing the one black guy is sitting on is the floor
the other cunts standing
I haven't seen the sub yet

>>717637369
oh wait nevermind, i just remembered that there are two such areas with npcs in hydro

My headcanon as to why we follow IS-0012 like a dumbass is that by destroying the world we also get to destroy THAT FUCKING TABLE GET FUCKED YOU PIECE OF SHIT

>>717637537
i fucking hate that table so god damn much

>>717637441
There's a freaking ramp leading to water, and the sub floor is visible from up there, just with no easy way down, but you can jump or rope down instead. On screenshot, hangar for sub on the right, ramp on the left.

>>717637537
To be honest without their input you'd be stuck and dead sooner than later.

>>717637581
the ramp leading to water is behind a locked gate bro, and its got a zipwire going from the tower to it
making it look like a shortcut/backtrack

>>717637441
>>717637581
And I forgot the freaking screenshot. Want me to make a screenshot showing the area from up in the higher level too?

>>717637716
you also forgot the gates locked
and i swam towards the tower and got ate before i cleared the corner
so i assumed that was the game telling me to fuck off that way

>>717637793
And a screenshot, the doors to room with the scientist and wounded engineer in top right, sub area visible in the left.

I don't blame anyone that particular part of hydro is a little obtuse. At first I thought you had to run or bridge across the pegs before falling into the water and finding the sub entrance.

>>717637793
>>717637902
Fucking hell again screenshot didn't attach.
I will admit it's not terribly intuitive but not end of the world either. I did figure it out after 15 minutes and I'm a fucking halfwit dummy.

HOW
WHY

>>717637967
that doors on the upper level with no access to it naturally
and the doors locked from the outside anyway

>>717635876
Carbon pickaxe, do charging attacks. They do like 5x the damage of regular swings and are fast as fuck.

>>717637683
You get the T5 hacker like one minute into hydro, I don't understand the issue.

>>717634804
I never really got to the end of the first loop since my exor spirit was like, fuck this let me at the cunt. I would've hated going through that area without something else for enemies to shoot at.

>>717638264
No you don't. You lying fuck. Unless you looked up a guide on the receptors.

>>717638264
You need those photon thingies and those are only in the neutrino detector which requires the diving suit which you can't get until you've reached waterfall apartments and talked to the one guy on the roof

Anon hasn't gotten passed the electrical building with the two scientists

>>717638264
No you don't.
You need a photon receptor for Tier 5, which you only get by getting into the distant tower, which requires diving gears, with the guy giving you the schematic being at the far end of Hydroplant.
You almost have to do Hydroplant in its entirety to get the T5

>>717638059
Are you still the anon complaining from these posts?
>>717636815
You admitted you got into the fucking room I'm talking about in the screenshot, you obtuse disingenuous fuck.

>>717638619
the scientists are on the bottom of the floor you retard
i got in by sneaking past the sniper, bonking him on the head
and then walking the fuck into the building and killing everyone
then going through the vent near the double door
at no point can you access the upper floor before you get into/through the room because all the doors are locked
you fell the fuck off or looked up a guide or something and now you're trying to look smart and failing because you don't know the intended route

>>717638731
There's two pairs of NPCs - the dweeb comedy relief part and the chick + wounded engineer. You said you reactivated the power, so you got to the engineer pair, unless you're another idiot shitting up the thread.

honestly even if we eventually manage to properly escape the facility how good of an ending can we realistically expect?
>unleashed the apocalypse and Cahn on the world
>likely on the top of the kill list for the order and gatekeepers
>knows way too much to ever be left free by keystone

>>717638931
yes
the engineer pair is easy to get to
you just avoid the sniper and go into the fucking building
theres a vent that goes right into their room
what are you trying to argue?
the door in the screenshot is on the upper level, and locked from the outside
its a way back in

>>717638970
What's the alternative for the player character?? Ventilating their skull?

>>717639052
It's a fucking reference point to show that you can just JUMP DOWN to the submarine and lift going further into the facility.

>>717639053
Pulling an Abe and fucking off to a portal world

>>717638970
I think we would have been fine if we didn't freed IS-0012, the main reason a lot of things happen is because we let a dangerous shapeshifter out.
But from that point on, yeah no, we were fucked regardless.

>>717635723
Surprised I never thought of this since I like to engage in some wire clipping shenanigans. Definitely something I'll try out.

lmao, I just read the unassuming bell (that you find in IS-0012 containment room) description
>This might be a little common dingy bell. This could also be a shapeshifter.

>>717639159
you were always there to do what he wanted.

>>717635469
>raids are pitiful.
Too true. I mean, it's kind of a relief because I REALLY don't want to get all my shit smashed. But if I could at least opt into that kind of extra danger, it would be way better.

>people complaining about the defaults for solo
They're perfectly fine. I beat the game solo without changing any world settings. Default XP rates do suck but there's nothing you absolutely need to finish the game. Any skills that are important you'll get early on naturally anyways.

>>717639436
I think realistically, had we not done anything, it would have blown over eventually and some sort of rescue would have been dispatched once IS-0012 was secured.
The GKs only started hitting GATE staff because some fucking retard let out a dangerous shapeshifter loose, originally they were busy trying to contain the mess caused by the Order attacking various GATE locations.

>>717639552
They are pretty good with letting the player decide their own difficulty so hopefully if someone suggests it they will add it. Something like a raid difficulty slider would be nice. And a night difficulty slider too since nights really aren't threatening at all.

>>717639924
it wouldn't have just blown over since the Order attack was global and was pretty much a decisive victory for them.
Assuming we didn't touch anything there's still shitloads of now uncontained IS's hooning around and yeah the Order probably would destroy them all given time but that's still plenty of time for stuff to happen.
The game is pretty hush on whether or not the containment breach's are localized to facilities or are spread but that's kind of a moot point after the ending.

>>717639764
I did too but I am always playing the game with 0.9 enemy health, tripled stack size and 1.2 exp gain from now on. Just trims down on the grind and bullet sponges enough.

I'm playing on apocalyptic and the only change I made was stack sizes by 2x, and the game feels pathetically easy, but I'm only just in labs and about to access the Mycofields.

friendly reminder they still haven't patched the damage money while it's on the ground and it will turn into a stack of $6 instead of 1 dealio

>>717640115
>and was pretty much a decisive victory for them.
The game made it pretty clear they're winning because they were facing shitty GATE security.
Noticeably once the GKs get dispatched, it's shown that the power gap just isn't the same, with entire squads of Order staff getting murdered by a single GK and them trying to request more help.
That being said, as I think about it, the Order also deployed sappers in the Reactor, so very likely this would have ended with the whole facility blowing up if we let them. Then again, this happen AFTER we let out all those anomalies, so very likely the Order was also desperate to bury our mess as well.
This game is really good at blurring the line between whether shit happen because of us or independently of us.

I swear to god, hitting that 2% Jackpot with the Polished Antique Shotgun enemies will never stop being funny
Especially when it's some poor low-ranking fuck who doesn't even know you're there.

>>717641263
I'm realizing the entire reason the scientists couldn't figure out why the antique shotgun anomalous aspect didn't work is because since none of them know how to handle a firearm, nobody considered actually taking the time to maintain it.

>>717621373 (OP)
Is this game fun to play alone?

>>717641376
it's arguably better experienced alone and paying attention to the lore
it's comfy and intriguing

>>717641376
Surprisingly, yes. I just finished my game yesterday, a 70 hours playthrough.
Not gonna lie tho, the balance sorta shit the bed around Reactor (late game) because the difficulty is clearly designed to be tackled by multiple people. Beyond that, the game is really good solo.

>>717641376
It's way WAY too buggy and unfinished right now to play at all.

i think it's more the fact that you swapped in bits of magic scrap and cleaned using evil fluids thats likely the culprit

I'm not sure why I bought the game. It's great and I'm glad I did, but I don't know what drew me to it. The cover art? The screenshots? How many good games am I missing out on because this feeling didn't trigger?

>>717641170
feels like the xp rates were designed for a 100 hour playthrough, so you could play through at a leisurely pace after all the post-launch content is out and still be making progress in some form

I don't see teeth and they don't hurt that much while holding you down, so the thought did occur to me; especially since they don't attack at all with enough sneak, they're just begging for it at that point.

>>717644597
Does it actually take damage when "stunned"? Because afaik it only get "stunned" between phases, and since the game is terrible at visual cues, I have no fucking idea if I'm actually hurting it or just wasting ammo.

Fridges should stop decay completely considering how fucking abundant food is and they can't take non food items in anyways

>>717644878
You can change that in the sandbox settings.

>>717644918
Yeah I know, it just feels like it should be the default

>>717644878
You can make a freezer later on that does just that.
But by then it's already too little too late, by the time I could make a freezer, I was drowning in both food and rotten food.

>>717644878
If you insert a item into a stack of similar items the stack assumes the decay of the item/stack you're adding to, so if you have fresh meat and rotting meat just pick up the rotting meat and add it to the fresh meat to make it last longer

>>717644878
Why upgrade to the freezer if the fridge totally stops food decay?

>>717645016
Freezer doesn't NEED to exist

It has actually been so long that I don't remember what it was like the first time I went to hydro. You definitely do not need the dive suit though, you can just jump over there with the jump pack. You used to do it with the jetpack.

>>717645212
>you can just jump over there with the jump pack.
No you cant

>All of this from one fucking captain
Damn, that nigga was loaded

>>717645212
You can't get the jetpack until reactors now, and you have to go through the reservoir to get mats that let you get to reactors.

>>717645246
>>717645296
nta but you can reach the tower with the long jump pack, you need the gravity cube. And to murder two snipers that can cut you off midflight.
Still if you go the intended way, it's a fucking pain in the ass. Why does the shortcuts require T5?

>>717645246
You can

>>717645370
>>717645374
Post a webm of it or I won't believe you

>>717645506
Not him but I know what he's talking about since I did that too because I got sick of lugging around the diving suit and didn't know about bench teleporting because my dumb ass thought the bench teleporters were one time use. You have to get up on the roofs of the resevoir towers close to the far side of the damn, parkour across them as far as you can go, then use a jump pad to get the extra boost to clear the gap.

>>717645506
Too lazy to post a webm, but basically, climb on top of tower 3 or 4 with the long jump pack (a lot of high fences and small ledges around the area that make it easy to do that, or you can just jump from the rooftop of storage), I think 3 is closer but I've been able to do it from 4, then just use your long jump pack at regular interval to get around 5 jumps.
I've been doing it repeatedly to get Photon Receptors because it's fucking tedious reaching the tower from under the water on multiple trips.

good solo settings?

So uuh what are some good ways to deal with the energy shields some enemies like GK have

>>717645506
Can literally even get there with the jetpack. Just have to first go up on the side ledge in that case.

>>717644718
>the long tongue instinctively wraps all the way around your member
OH NOOOOOO ANYTHING BUT THAT AAAIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE SAVE ME GATEKEEPER SAMA

>>717646196
No shit you can get there with the jetpack. The jetpack that you can't craft until a few areas after hydro.

How's this shit

>Buddy and I are doing a first-time playthrough

>Scratch our heads when they don't seem to sit in the right orientation.

How could this happen? Why are they on their sides?

So you can put shit on top without it looking weird when you open it.

That's what shelves are for.

It's an anti-kneecap design, every time you open it you have a 99% chance of injuring your legs.

>>717646775
>I had a brainfart
Ah, a defense analyst I see.

>>717646840
Honestly, better control. Since you only get low gravity when you have the cube in your hand.

>>717646912
Well, I like always having higher jumps and more fall damage tolerance while also being able to use weapons. It really doesn't matter since you can just scrap the trinket and get the cube back anyway.

is there a way to block with weapons that can be thrown? because otherwise the hardlight sabers ability to block projectiles is fucking worthless

>>717646397
And as I'm sure you know, it used to be the jetpack you originally got at hydro. Only mentioned that because the jump pack is better known for distance.

I didn't even realize the rune was a crate key. The explanation really doesn't hint at that.

I wish there was a way to get a 3rd Trinket slot, there's so many good trinkets in this game that having to only pick two feels really harsh, especially since Kylie is pretty much mandatory once you get her. Also sucks pretty bad if you want to use something like the Maestro armor where a lot of it's usefulness comes from having the trinket equipped

Well shit, what other games are similar in vibe that i can play while waiting for 1.1?
Ive already played votv.

>>717647571
You need 5 in total (1 for Dusk, 2 for Cloud, and 2 for mist). Gale doesn't need any.

>>717625520
People who were playing the early access were playing the game and not responding to threads.
People who were interested in the game but didn't want to spoil themselves till 1.0 released avoided the threads.

Now that 1.0 has released, it gets discussed.

>>717647664
Vibewise exploring in Abiotic Factor kind of reminded me of Infra and Underrail.
I've never played Grounded, but I've heard it's similar mechanically to Abiotic Factor.

you can tell these threads are all bots

>>717647964
Literally every game you mentioned blows this one out of the water. Not really a good luck.

>>717648787
>these threads are all bots

>>717648787
Because vidya discussion on /v/ is simply preposterous!

>>717633280
I think this is where a lot of people are mixing up the story. It's not explicitly stated that the co-worker that IS-0012 is impersonating that died two years before the log was made is Cahn. It could very well be he's now chosen to impersonate Cahn (Your boss) Shape shifting to a form most likely to manipulate the player character. (at least in a narrative sense)

>>717649460
>It's not explicitly stated that the co-worker that IS-0012 is impersonating that died two years before the log was made is Cahn
Didn't the email literally have his name

>>717648951
I WANT THEIR GL

>>717649460
There's an email about employee introduction where it's specifically mentioned that Cahn email have been inactive for quite some time and someone have been using it.

>>717649460
You're there to meet Dr Cahn at the very start of the game though, someone who had been dead for 2 years and is known by GATE leadership to currently be impersonated by IS12.
That should be setting off all kind of alarm bells at GATE unless it was going to someones plan.

So do they plan on added more zones or what? Seemed like a complete game already, can't imagine what else they could do besides making all the worlds bigger; a flathill the size of silent hill with every building being explorable would be amazing and probably be the only game I need for half the year.

I don't like deatomizer. I expected more.

>>717649685
Use the other fire mode bro

Why couldn't the interdimensional shapeshifter demon come up with a better excuse for why he was trapped in a containment cell than
>lol I fell asleep in this containment cell right as everything went to shit haha can you believe it?

>>717649760
And how'd he get the bell in there? Why's his cell have a display pillar for tricking people?

>>717649760
Wut, his explanation was that he thought the cell would be safe because they're built so sturdy
It was still shady as hell but it wasn't THAT bad

>>717649604
>That should be setting off all kind of alarm bells at GATE unless it was going to someones plan.
It did. A GATE security member flagged Cahn email as being used despite being inactive.
But the email conversation about introduction, and the player introduction in the facility, highlight that nobody have any idea what they're doing, so most likely nobody corrected the mistake.

>>717649838
Why would a bell needs accomodation? Or why did a guy who wanted to take a nap pulled 2 couches, a rug, and two bookshelves into a containment chamber?

>>717649963
You quite literally can't see any of those because of the gate and the two panels next to the door until you can go in you dumbass

>>717650020
kinda retarded design if you think about it, usually a holding cell is designed in such a way you can see the entire interior from the door. I'd think that would go doubly so for how dangerous this being is

>play all the way up to the end of "Fragments" with only a harpoon, because I never found one of the key ingredients of the sword
>try it out on gatekeepers
>liquifies them
Life could have been so much easier for me...

>>717649838
Was it? I could have sworn he said he went in there to take a nap and then the door locked.
Are you lying to me? Are you Dr Cahn?

>>717650152
They have cameras to watch them and have separate viewing rooms and corridors behind them

>>717650152
Normally you'd have someone monitoring to warn everyone he's messing with his room, so he probably did all that after things went bad.

Should I bother growing anteverse wheat? Any tip for agriculture? Does the purple juice work

>>717651683
Yes, grow anteverse wheat. Grow lots of it.

>>717651591
>they really shouldn't be working in a science lab for geniuses
To be fair, intelligence and wisdom aren't the same thing which is the only thing D&D got right with its stats
80% of the scientists you encounter are hard retards and the number is higher if you include the e-mails
The coworker might be a regular guy who's fucked up by some alien impregnating him with larvae, we don't know if he's really a mimic or someone truly fucked up

I still disagree with paladins using CHA over WIS.

>>717651683
>Should I bother growing anteverse wheat?
Whether you grow it yourself, or sweep up the many many native stalks that grow around the facility is up to you. But the fact that wheat can be traded for anteverse gems and many, many recipes means you should acquire it somehow.
If you do ANY gardening, you may as well dedicate at least a plot to wheat.

>>717651810
Paladins are chads and not wimps.

>>717651859
Virgins can't be chads, anon.

>>717651720
>might be a regular guy who's fucked up
Logs indicate against that. It was mimicking something called a rocklark. Until it wasn't.

>>717651957
Untrue. Believe in yourself.

does this game have living alien guns like the spore launcher or hive hand in hl

>>717652238
cool, thanks

>>717625520
a twitch retard or youtuber must have played it recently.

There's no other explanation. /v/ is filled with normie sheep that follow their leaders and if a game is suddenly being put in the spotlight, its always some twitch faggots doing.

>>717652280
You're kind of a cynical fuck, anon. Why couldn't they just have seen it on the steam store and been interested in the Half-Life-esque tone?

>>717652414
Because that's not how things work you classic faggot.

>>717652280
I seen about it on /vg/ a year ago and was instantly sold. Give it a shot, even you might have some fun with it

>>717651683
If you have no wheat, plant it. If it's grown, harvest it.

Use large plots as soon as you get access to them since they make water a near non issue (better to just collect wheat in the mines or far garden until then), and a full plot of wheat will get you 32 pieces per growth cycle. That can then be converted into 32 anteverse gems, which can then be converted into equal amounts liquid crystal, both important resources. No, antejuice doesn't work for gardening, only filtered water. Don't bother too much with fertiliser, more effort than it's worth.

>>717652517
We've had a dozen threads before the game dropped, and lots of people said they'd check it out when it leaves EA. Sorry if I can believe that actually happened. And the increased discussion encouraged even more. You can call that people being "sheep" too, if you still need to be an elitist fuck about it.

the gate nigs in shadowgate are omega tanky holy shit

>>717652280
I just like HalfLife vibe. I don't like survival things, but you can literally turn them all off.

>>717652584
you can just drop the whole stack in

also you can get like 50 wheat every time you run mycofields

>>717652280
This hasn't exactly been the streamer bait that is typically associated with "fotm". I knew this was coming up having bought the game eight months ago, and I certainly didn't expect any threads on /v/. An anon commented in an earlier thread that the sudden intake is probably due to coming out of early access, which on a technical level puts in a mostly complete state, at least officially.

>>717652794
still pissed that the supposed 1.0 is the most dogshit "ending" that just raises more questions than it answers. I was so unsatisfied by the finale it's unbelievable

>>717625520
I just saw on steam a few days ago, hadn't even heard of it before. did they even advertise it?

>>717624613
We love the moving box here you fucking rat.

>>717652938
they did a lot more marketing a year or two ago

>>717623501
I like how they've redesigned the reaper repeatedly since his introduction in EA but it still kind of annoys me how not dangerous he really is. All he can really do is grab you and teleport you somewhere he doesn't follow. He's great the first few times but there's just no reason to go back to Security often, he doesn't get enough time to free roam, his weather event is rare.

>>717652860
I don't care much about that. It's all the new bugs and stupid shit they introduced.

>>717652584
>only filtered water
ugh

>>717652787
>mycofields
Pass from me, rather get stabbed in the village.
I hate the terrain, sense of direction is fucked there.

What's better for lodestones? Farming rats or C*naan?

>>717621532
Maybe he's the counterpart to Cahn? Interdimensional good guy?

>>717653114
He does try to kill you if you xray/laser him, but it resets when he despawns.

>>717653257
The lodestone respawns each time the world resets and the bogmen now drop fragments so on a good run you can get like 7 fragments in a few minutes. Her hut has a power source so you can also just put a teleporter there and wait for the portal world reset and go in and grab it.

>at the reactor
>crafting is at 9

fucking christ, help me coping and tell me the last two bench upgrades are useless

>>717652860
It's a cliffhanger. The fact Abe is spontaneously missing leads me to believe they think they're going to do more with this franchise, since it serves no real narrative purpose. It could just be a "bad end" situation and everyone is fucked. But things they can expand upon like that lead me to think otherwise.

>>717652280
I bought it months ago when it was on sale and started playing it recently due to having a ton of free time for the forseeable future. There have been threads daily for the past month Anon, even before the 1.0 release.

He's just an employee down in Reactors. Iirc he's the guy managing the plant.

>>717653171
Collect lots of water coolers early. After that, a bucket to dump into barrels of tainted water, boil four pots for 1000ml of clean water at a time. It does get much easier as you go.

>>717653268
I think he's based on (and voiced by) a youtube science guy.

>>717653359
The Divarication portals in Botanics are heavily suggested to be the future (Mande mentions temporal experiments), and we know Riggs and Manse are still alive by that time because she mentions him.

I blame anteverse 33 for this.

>>717653405
I have 2 water filters and 5 water coolers, so when they're all almost used up I just load them all up on my platform cart and take them to the water source I use and bring em back. Pretty painless and honestly quicker than waiting on the piss drrrroplet collector to do it's thing in my experience.

>>717653337
I beat the game without them.

The low level gear it generates are ALL basics. You probably have entire stacks of them and won't need a significant amount since you're at the highest tier of gear anyways.

just eat a brain and then spam screws and other cheap components you're going to need a bunch of anyway

So chieftains can grab other NPCs, including their other GKs, but if that's the case, they don't go through with the headbutt and just drop them.

not sure what to do from here

where can I get an anvil for a repair station?

>>717648258
I love INFRA and it definitely has that same half life game design spirit to it

>>717653464
Riggs wonders aloud about Manse, but I don't think that's proof he is. I don't know why she'd even know for certain one way or the other. For narrative reasons, he probably is though, because you can do a lot with this character we've heard so much from thus far (even if just in recordings).

>>717653689
An email in the game mentions one have been put in storage in Office level 3.

>>717653359
They've already added content references for updates. The Canaan armor hood says "you now get better deals from Anteverse XXXIII" which is the one the Leyak comes from, there's a third unseen Leyak that Abe mentions in an email, and they wouldn't reference a third Leyak variant without intending to torture players with it.

>>717653727
Yeah you're right, but she says Manse told her to go there, so he survived at least to the end of the base game I would imagine. Shed have had to have met back up with him to be told to go back to the Facility, and his absence from the base game is an obvious set up that you'll see him later.

>>717653627
Just put your respawn bed under a chopinator and learn to enjoy the pain.

>>717653337
their are bench upgrades? wtf

>>717653751
Anteverse 33 is definitely a major thing, since the Lodestones come from there.

>>717653821
>Perception: 1

>>717653821
nigggaaa

>>717653821
The one that automatically searches your nearby containers for what you're currently crafting is essential, get it immediately

>>717653751
What I'm curious about the third one is what they intend to do differently with it. Krasue didn't really hit the same as leyak, so I wonder if they might consider ways to make it more threatening or unpredictable without becoming too overbearing.

>>717653843
Also the constant mentions of the Arcade machine, the penguins emailing Abe, Abe wanting desperately to help them, the game leaking into reality, the game being affected by the other IS in the room opposite it, Abe mentioning the Lawnmower Man, Abe running a simulation of the entire facility, and Abe stealing the submarine, the AI uploaded girl being in the Reservoir he stole the submarine at, all have to mean something. There's way too much set up surrounding Abe being a digital schizo to just be comedic.

It had better be a DLC or an update and not a whole new game. I've farmed way too much shit man

>anteverse 268 is our universe
Kek

>>717653807
I guess I forgot the context of her Manse comments. I thought she just meant she originally was told by Manse to go to Canaan before the expedition got stranded and half-killed. And that's why he was still expecting her report.

>>717653953
I'd imagine they don't want to just do Leyak 2 because there's already a Leyak, and containing it isn't permanent or mandatory. No one wants to deal with more than 1 of them at a time, so it'll probably either have specific behavior or be locked to a specific area, same as Krasue.

>>717653689
you can get one really early near the cafeteria. Near the spawn area there's a large room to the right, if you wait for the power to turn off you can go through the vents and through the blades, then proceed forward to find an anvil.
