Let me guess; You need more edition

>>717984579 (OP)
I need more coffee in my coffee hole

>>717984798
>makes you shit your pants

>>717985254
i am a machine that turns coffee into grenades

Do I even need defenses for the first cafeteria base? Whenever enemies spawn at night it's always right in the breakroom where my main hub is.

>>717985276
Here, you dropped your crown.

>>717985364
a single little shit respawns near the door
that's it
go clear upstairs where all the PCs are, build the keypad hackerman tool, then make a permanent base upstairs on the other side where you have to climb a ladder up
its a huge area, its safe except for portal intrusions (like everywhere else) and its very central to everything

>>717984579 (OP)
what do you actually do in this apart from collection garbage and crafting?

>>717984579 (OP)
>edition

>>717985658
killing
there are more than the little aliens. you end up fighting humans with guns/rifles/grenades, giant aliens, and then go into portals to different worlds and explore and fight other crazy shit like 1800's pilgrims, robots, giants

>it's a "recipe needs another power cell" episode
aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAA

What is the comfyness factor of this game? When it comes to these long term survival games, comfy factor is VERY important to me. It's why I've only really ever gotten into Project Zomboid and The Long Dark because they achieved very high levels of comfy

>>717985745
Don't forget that combat skills need to be used to increase your capabilities.
I enjoy the fact that the first ranged weapon is a cobbled-together crossbow with pens as bolts and the aim dot wobbles all over the place until you gain skill.
Cooking, crafting, discovery of new tools, building defenses, maintenance of the player character from water, food, having to shit, radiation, heat/cold, base attacks, searching every nook and cranny. Its a shame some people don't give this game the time of day.

>>717985896
I saw a thread for it yesterday, peaked into the thread, saw praise for a game I've literally never heard of, and decided to give it a go. Wasn't impressed with the tutorial but when the actual game started I was fucking hooked. Love the art style and atmosphere, and I love that the crafting recipes are actually fun to make. I played for 6 hours straight. Can't wait to stop wage slaving and go back home to play more.

>>717985873
Its comfy. Everything is pretty much at your own pace. You can farm, completely design your base (according to how much room you have) and can even pack up tables/cabinets/chairs/sofas and take them with you and put them in your base. You can put arcade machines in your base. Same with televisions. Build your own stoves, collect and boil water for drinking, there is a sleeping mechanic in the game as well. It is a very simple "press W to hop over the monster" mini-game, but its something rather than just hands off waiting for your character to wake up. You can break stuff down for base materials, you can even make paints and paint whatever. Make signs, armor, weapons, containers to hold water, cooking pots - lots of stuff.

>>717986114
I am never, ever into these types of games but I watched a single 20min video and had to try it out and was hooked.
I really enjoy that there is a window of time where the power is out - that with the power is out, some areas become accessible due to large cooling fans being powered down, or the robots. I really enjoy the in-fighting between different factions of enemies. Its a good game.

>/v/ got me to play two new (good) games this year
Abiotic Factor, and does anyone want to guess the other?

>>717986290
dingdong tickler 2: balls of blue?

>>717986290
look outside?

>>717985873
It's not as comfy as PZ, there's not a whole lot to do inside your base.

>>717986346
PZ will always be the peak of comfy because of the plethora of monotonous tasks you have to do that make it feel so immersive and slow paced, but as long as it scratches a similar itch I might like it.

>>717985873
There's no real building in this game, but there's a number of ways in which you can turn basically any space into your own little home since there's lots of different items you can just pick up in the game and bring back to base and arrange however you want, so it can have a pretty nice personalised feel.

>>717986620
Not really, the main focus of AF is the linear narrative and exploration, the base stuff is mostly maintenance and refueling between trips.

>>717986710
The problem is that almost everything in this screenshot is just decoration. And I can hear the cacophony of noise coming from the TVs and arcade machines all being turned on simultaneously, that's not comfy.

>>717986710
Very comfy anon. Where is this?

>>717986710
what construction level do you need to package the large triple shelf cabinets safely?

>>717986889
theres like a gillion of them dude just roll the dice

I was just reminded in the last thread since people occasionally mention the music in canaan, and I just realised I've spent the last couple hundred hours playing the game with no music.

I can't remember why I had the music turned down ages ago, but I guess it just felt normal after a while and completely forgot the game even had music.

>>717987004
>anon was playing listening to the ambient sounds of horror and distant screaming

>>717986798
The tv's are just for shits and giggles, can get a bit much. I almost always have at least one arcade on though.

>>717986835
Office gym right next to the pool. Actually a pretty nice early base spot, so long as you leave that one couch across the doorway to the data farm so a tard bot doesn't decide to wander through at night.

Just got to labs and I DO NOT LIKE THAT FUCKING THING!

>>717987224
>using furniture to block entrances

>>717986290

>>717987219
Yeah. I think having no music can be a good way to play the game though, gives a bit more of a desolate feeling.

>>717987326
But she likes YOU, anon.

>>717987646
hello fellow intern

>>717987646
you can do it but that shit will break instantly

>>717986281
These are the kinds of games I can usually only play with a group. My friends are ready to start it this weekend, but I've already gotten up to the reactors solo. The game is amazing and deceptively large & the looping level design is executed masterfully. The world is also surprisingly interesting.

So far my only complaint is that you can only get 20 of that fire shit in one portal cycle.

>>717986290
Pretend?

>>717987004
I usually mute music in games immediately, but I left it on here. It creates a really nice ambiance and isn't in your face.

>>717987854
No he means blocking the door so it swings against the piece you placed in front of it. I did the same in the cafeteria and I frequently have an exor eyeball me through the glass but he can't open the door because of the barricade I placed.

>>717988132
It really is a sleeper hit of a game.

I thought they patched doors not swinging through objects. At least it now passes through my chests

>>717988905
The patch was for the opposite, they swing through objects because they don't want you blocking enemies

>>717988392
Yeah agreed. It’s subtle enough that it doesn’t overpower the mood but still manages to sneak in just the right amount of unease. The track in Black Hollow with the distant choir and that low droning hum? Gave me chills when I first heard it. Definitely adds to the whole “you probably shouldn’t be here” vibe.

Post scientist

>>717989571
All I can tell you about this next procedure is that it will be excruciating.

>>717985364
I lured a tier2 security bot all the way from one zone back to cafeteria and into my whirly trap but had to wait for him to break down my barricades first. Im now gonna go set up more battery+ whirly traps out there so I can just kite stuff into those

Most of the larger threats so far spawned out by fountain for me to go fight and they werent that bad.

>Triarii set doesn't do the door kick animation anymore
lame

>>717989676
>>717989571
actually, nah i'm going back to this, looks more combat doctor

>>717985658
For me its about the exploration. The starting zone is like a dark souls nexus and as you go to each rather vast area searching for emails, recipees, and keys/ways to unlock more areas you will find major and minor shortcuts to help you. So far I usually preferred to take the tram to go back to Manufacturing and walk to Wildlife pens to go into containment. Each 'biome' like that has had a major portal to an alternate universe but theres also a few other portals to find to smaller locations with resources. Sometimes if im low on healing stuff i will hit up the location with alien wheat so I can craft more syringes.

Its good level design if you like making a map in your head. Theres usually creative options for sneaking or for crafting your way up to new places.

Does the power always shut off at 9?

>>717990179
>pick up a map
>it's literally just a physical map to use as a point of reference
>you have to physically travel around to fill out your GPS map
Kino

:(

>>717990413
Let him in anon.

>>717988905
It's a bandaid fix to a problem of doors not opening at all even if there was nothing blocking them.

Why don't my fish traps work? They still have plenty of bait. Do you need to re-place them after each catch?

Is this game's world procedurally generated?

>>717989571
Does the Rat backpack drop ?

are these threads just gonna be the same canned questions to keep it bumped now or what

>>717991783
No.

>regret taking some of the debuffs to give me more perks

Walking through the door entity lets me re-do that all, right? I fucked up and took lead belly and I literally am drowning in water now that I have the filter barrels.

Is there any way to automate refilling it?

>>717992391
walking through the door does let you rebuild your character but all your skills get reset to three

Are X-ray emitters harmful to the player? They don't seem to be.

>>717991783
No. It's hand crafted Dark Soulslike loop around shortcut unlocking kino

>its another cheesing the tarrasque episode

What an annoying ass fight. Tesla coils did good to stun it but they did NO damage after that. I just sat behind a garage door with the electro thrower and that was easier. I want to relocate my base but idk where to go to since I'm still in security office. Any neat locations coming up?

>I ask you to help me betray my brethren in order to serve them. I will be condemned, I aver. But I accept this fate, for the ends are too great to consider any other course.

That shit was so fucked up just to have a cheap laugh

>wipes skills too

I mean I had a fear it would but shit, maybe I just deal with it. That or turn down the meter drain in sandbox settings.

>>717991981
>a game built on discovery, learning, and exploration
>bro why are people asking questions?

>>717992723
As a Zomboidfag I knew less is more when it comes to traits.

>>717992772
shouldn't you discover, learn and explore in the fucking game instead of needing to be spoonfed?

>>717992847
Honestly the only thing I value at this point is fanny-pack and wrinkly brain-meat, but the latter can be nullified by just upping XP gain in single player anyways.

>>717991956
Yes, you need to use the Net Launcher to net one, then kill him with a Blunt weapon while he is netted.

>>717992847
the difference here is the good traits are just for boosting xp gain. When you hit 20 in your relevant skills you're just stuck with your debuffs forever for no further benefit.

Fanny pack and more carry weight are the only positive skills worth taking, which you can get very easily with the higher point jobs.

>>717991956
Yes, it is the best backpack before you get the jetpack and the void pack.

>>717992867
Sometimes people just want to know if they hit a block somewhere. nothing wrong with that. Or share ideas and solutions to stuff they might not have discovered on their own.

>>717993112
>30 slots
>just got my research pack last night

welp, never mind then.

>>717993340
Oh right I forgot about that one. Actually that one is better than the rat backpack.

so this thing is really just dogshit, huh?
hmm, do I want to kill an enemy in 4-5 headshots with this piece of shit, or do I want to one tap almost every enemy at this point in the game with a headshot from the magbow, I wonder....

>>717993454
Pretty much every pack afterward is. Rat is good for manufacturing and labs and that's it.

>>717993526
Yeah, I thought the same thing. If I want to stealth kill with a crossbow the magbow is the right choice. I'm not sure what the use case is for the lodestone crossbow once you get to the part of the game where you can craft it. Other ranged weapons are better for active fighting.

>>717985873
>What is the comfyness factor of this game?

Talk like that gets threads sent to /vg/.

I'm on the fence about this. It looks sort of fun but
>Unreal Engine 5 (probably runs like shit and melts your computer unless it's really good)
>It's a fucking survival crafting game
Are these issues as bad as I think they are?

>>717993682
Special bolts maybe? Why would you use it over a Grinder I don't know, but it's there.

>>717993761
I don't have a potato so it's hard to say. If your computer is old I could see you potentially having issues from the engine.

>>717993074
Thick Skin is good thoughbeit

>>717993761
It's not procedural slop - level design is top notch, progression works really well, and survival elements aren't annoying.
I won't talk about performance since I never had any issues but I got a pretty decent rig.

>>717993815
Shock bolts might be useful to kill stuff that are weak to electricity but i still think there are better solutions than shooting low velocity crossbow bolts that take an uncommon ingredient to craft.

>discovered a new game that I can't wait to get home and play (wageslaving rn)
I miss this feeling bros. Why is it so rare now?

>>717993980
Exactly. No real use case for it compared to other weapons at this stage of progression.

>>717993761
>probably runs like shit
Yea thats my only real complaint at this point, which is bizarre considering the half life 1 aesthetic it has going on
I don't have a monster of a rig but I can run most stuff at 60 with no issue

>>717993761
Because of its HL1 art style I can't imagine its demanding. Pretty sure its playable on Steam Deck even

>>717993827
you get gorillions of bandages for bleeding, and potentially gorillions of tech bandages if you're smart and stock up on aloe early, or an armor set to negate bleeding entirely.
Not to mention hardlight shields near the end to just never take damage anymore at all.

>>717994064
Same. I actually have work to do and I'm wasting my time talking to you guys instead of doing my work faster and hopefully be able to play the game faster.

Can I have some hints on containing Leyak, but not an outright solution? I have the X-tay tower, but I'm sure how to proceed. It's rotating, which I find weird. Is one X-ray tower enough?

Do the home worlds respawn every Sunday and Wednesday like regular portal worlds? I want to put in a lounge area near my aquariums with a kotatsu but I'm already using the one I got for my soups, stews, and slops.

>>717994216
One x-ray tower is more than enough if you only have 1 entrance to your base. In fact, you'll want to purposefully allow the leyak to approach you and get beamed to farm leyak essence while you do base chores. This becomes redundant once you build the containment chamber and are farming greyebs to fuel it.

>>717990713
you have to stay in the sector for them to work
if you leave the sector/world, they reset and stop working until you go back
and they take some time to work

>>717994357
Yes and its annoying to build there the furniture keeps respawning on top of shit I place down myself.

>>717994357
Fuck, that's quite nice. I just put my soup pots on the floor in the middle of my base like an animal.

>>717994357
>kotatsu with hot pot
niceu

how do I get hired at a secret science lab cause I got no problem doing immoral shit to aliens

>>717994357
Man I gotta redecorate, but honestly it's probably better I just relocate instead. Very limited space here

is there a bug with ammo despawning from storage? had 120 9mm just vanish from my base storage suddenly

uh oh

>>717994064
I've actually been sleeping on Abiotic Factor for a long time. On the surface level, it seemed like just a fun-with-friends survival base builder, except you are a scientist wearing a ridiculous tie stuck in not-Black Mesa trying to survive a not-resonance cascade while being attacked by soldiers and creatures from not-Xen. I didn't expect it to be more deep than this when I pirated it, but now I'm practically addicted.

>>717994216
Leyak is blocked by world geometry, but not any other object such as doors or barricades. Unless your base is small enough for the range of the tower to cover every entrance, it might be prudent to have a dedicated tower for every doorway.

The rotation is normal.

>>717994640
Buy it now. Devs like this unironically actually deserve support. More comfy kino less slop

>>717994406
>One x-ray tower is more than enough if you only have 1 entrance to your base
My base is kind of open-plan, as in I'm living above the data farm in the office sector.

>>717994670
Then I'll be building several more. What's their radius?

What is this game?

>>717994159
>walks into Torii

>>717995084
Survival game but you're a crafty scientist in NotBlack Mesa. Don't look up anything. Don't read anything. Play it and report back

I asked chatgpt because I also do not know how to search up anything on my own.

>>717995262
Can I play this game mostly alone it says online coop game

>>717995393
You can play it entirely alone yes. Id argue that is the ideal first playthrough since you can go at your own pace

>>717995393
I am playing solo on purpose because I didn't want my friends to ruin the discovery and progression part because they already had experience with the game.

The sniper rifle is just so bad. Even after you go through the hassle of upgrading it twice its still just vastly inferior to the deatomizer for literally any application

>>717995448
>>717995490
cool I'll buy this gmae after I finish mafia

>>717995589
It does about as much damage as the magbow so i'm pretty sure the purpose is to stealth kill things, not to out dps weapons like the deatomizer.

>>717995589
it's fun for one tapping human mobs in the face from across the map, using the sniper armor set as well really helps it since you have zero sway when zoomed in

>>717992696
Just another sign your character is a psycho who willingly assists IS-012
At any point before this Janet and Abe could have been told the Order had factions opposing the invasion

>>717995589
Rail Rifle oneshots witches, Ice X oneshots neophytes and chieftans. Getting around dealing with their shields is great, especially when jotuns leave you swimming in ammo for it.

So anons just walk around with the laser collector in their inventory? Doesn't that weigh too much to also be looting?

>>717994216
X-ray tower in the middle of your base and a portable one to replace your flashlight while you're out and about (also useful for other things...)
There is a permanent solution you can figure out later but I never bothered

>>717995084
Half Life 1 + SCP, except from the point of the scientists. It's a survival crafting game in a well designed map.

>>717995393
You very much can play it alone. Although the farming system is clearly designed to feed several people at once, so you'll never be even close to starving after the game's beginning.

>>717996047
Nah, I always treated them like a reason to revisit the base. The hand cranked pistol sure got a lot of use though. I even killed the final boss with it.

>>717994707
I will, but not now. I'm genuinely broke, looking for a job.

>"can I play this game alone" asked dozens of times every thread
>retards give the same replies every single time

just tell people to read the fucking thread jesus christ

>>717996073
The permanent solution is much better. More consistent essence farming and the maintenance aspect is pretty easy with the added bonus of not having to hear the Leyak appear behind you somewhere in the facility.

>>717996047
do you even lift

>>717996182
shut up nigger, not everyone spends all day on this site

holy shitto
i just discovered the pest wheel lmao

>>717996305
putting "edition" in the OPs says otherwise

>>717996329
It's so easy to miss a bunch of stuff
The pest wheel, the larva area, the digital world, most fish

>>717996329
I didn't bother with it. Should I? I have lasers though and a since power converter is doing the job of powering my entire base.

All these X-rays and CT scanners and no bonus for examining your broken bones

Oh hey I recognized this from a stream I saw once, this a good base?
It's quite roomy and has its own recharge station.

>>717996168
It's free on gamepass or Playstation Plus Extra if you have either

>>717996849
It's a bit of a hike to the tram but otherwise fine

>>717996949
American detected

>>717996849
What I personally looked for in a base location was the outlet number, proximity to portals and main hubs, water sources, and defensibility from raids. Not that raids are threatening desu, I just want a consistent attack angle I can set my defenses up for.

>>717996849
This is almost everyone's second base. Yes it is very good

>>717996949
He can take the zipline and that leaves him pretty close to the center of office.

>>717997069
Towards the end of the game you teleport everywhere so it really doesn't matter where you set up

>>717997081
number of plugs doesn't really matter beyond convenience, you can just combine a gorillion strips and boards from one outlet to run everything

>>717997334
Well at the beginning it was a limiting factor, since I didn't know about the plug board or the laser converter and I wanted stuff to be powered throughout the night with batteries.

Lololol you're an idiot for helping me, the world is going to end now bye
I fucking hate this. It was obvious from the start but you're not allowed to be intelligent about it despite being a fucking scientist.

Any chance they continue to update and expand the game? Especially considering the boom in popularity with 1.0

So making soup with alien goober meat gets rid of all the rads, right?

>>717997758
they already said 1.0 isn't eos

>>717998016
eos? End of service?

Wow, it just fucking nukes her, and it's not only horizontal.

>>717997758
I sure hope so. Cause certain parts of Flathill behind locked doors look unfinished and hinted at being accessible.

>>717997839
Yeah.

>>717998090
yup

>>717995349
you are a zygote

So uuh, the mantis dude. First time I hit him with the x-ray gun a couple of times and he fucked off but a bit later I had him flinch 10 times without it doing anything. Also noticed this with the leyak, I get superclose to make sure my x-ray fully hits them but it's still inconsistent

>Sink about 60 hours into the game with friends
>Finish it
>Yearn for more

>>717997758
Yeah theres some features that seem like an update will come. You can fill liquids like molten material or radioactive material in metal bucket but not do anything

I think I see the machines now to convert item to anteverse gems I need, plus gems to new thing but fuck man I need more syringes and no clue how I get back here

>>717999442
the skink uses green goo for ammo, ink and lava don't do anything though

>>717999765
A lot of those paths will hook back and open up the general map so its more accessible to get back to the pens.

I always upgrade hacker first, personally. X-ray device is nice to get as soon as possible though too so you can start hoarding leyak essence since its important for progression.

>>717999765
Don't worry, go to the 2nd floor of cblock to get to Adjustment. Explore the first floor of cblock a bit more and you'll find some leads there too. My friend and I played nearly 30h based up in the little aquarium area out in the offices next to cblock and it ended up being the best base ever all the way to end game.

This robot is pissing me off.

>>717999979
how did it fare with the purple security bot? I imagine he'd be kind of annoying to deal with.

I thought about moving there myself too. Lots of nice little areas but I hate moving once I've gotten a bunch of stuff since it's a slog to transport.

>>718000061
If you're able to craft the Lightning Spear asap and if not craft the slushie grenade then spam your other grenades.

>>717999979
I might make a forward base at the yellow paint room dropdown just so I can sleep and stash a few items

>>718000061
Farm up for that special seed to trade for security key to get the night pass trinket. Then just sprint attack them in the backpack with carbon pickaxe, it oneshots them.

>>718000110
>>718000110
I'll grab some screencaps but by that point (co-op 2p) we already had the strat down >>718000158
for ganging up on the guy and the prison he takes you to is just 3s down the hallway if you're unfortunate. We put up some cubicle walls and shock trapped the chokepoint and just made it a routine to mob up on it as often as possible since CPUs seemed like a big chokepoint for us going in at that point.

>>718000061
just stand slightly behind a corner and watch the retard bounce grenades off the wall until death

>>717996546
at that point? no, not really worth it
its just a neat extra power source if you have a pest pet

>>718000061
What I did for that robot type was set up a fall back point with tesla towers hooked to a lever and bait the robot into them while shooting it with my laser pistol along the way.

>>717996849
in this room, up the ladder. really good base location
pretty close to being central to everything

>>717994707
does it run on Steam Deck?

>>718000393
Ohhhh fuck I need to get one of those. I was assuming I could only open GATE security chests much later one when I'll encounter gatekeepers.

How is it that the giant exo with a needler is less dangerous than the exo with a sharp stick? How do I deal with these faggots?

>>718001036
it's playable, not verified.

I would be doomed if they ever port it to NS2

r8 my base

>>717996849
It's a bit out of the way but it's not a bad place. I prefer the B side tram station in the plaza, though it lacks a toilet.

>>718001413

Gay.

I don't play survival games, but jumped into this for the Half-life aesthetic. Are there any other survival games I might like if I'm starting to like this?

Why there when you can just shack up right next to cart teleport? Raids are a joke.

where the fuck are the three power cells?

>>718001701
*stop crutching

>>718001743
He doesn't know about the three power cells.

>>718000579
you put a not-headcrab in a hamster wheel and feed it nachos to make it run
10/10 GOTY for that feature alone

>>718001673
Grounded is ok.
>>718001217
I don't even need to bring out the Deatomizer on them, I just kill them with the Magshot like most anything else.

best way to deal with Snow Mountain: France? I use throwing mostly with some two handed for charge attacks so I keep putting away my weapon for the Heater shield and that is ass. I also made the trinket for +1 cold resist.
Maybe make 1 of the cloth weather gear (that seem like a huge waste of mats) and wear the Tarrasque helmet with buying a million coffees?

>>718001743
In notSilentHill aka Flathill. Sneak past the tall mother fuckers to get on to the roofs. Make sure to find the ladders going down from each roof to unlock the chainlink door shortcuts.

Fuck it. I bought.
Wish me luck bros, I love Half-Life and the idea of bunkering down as a nobody scientist in some random not-Black Mesa office and trying to hide out a dimensional invasion sounds like too much fun.

>>718001728
Some of the raids to get a little threatening, plus the tram station is very easy to keep the leyak out of. Also I never use the carts.

>>718001975
>Also I never use the carts.
But why? Don't tell me you leave loot behind.

Are bases actually safe from threats or do you have to defend?

>>718001413
It's messy, but I respect the audacity required to occupy this large of an area. Now rate mine.

>>718001949
If you play solo, do yourself a favor and crank up the stack size and XP gain.

>>718001975
You can stack storages up more than just 2 high? How? For some reason it doesnt allow me to.

>>718001701
NOOOOO I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO ONESHOT EVERYTHING IT'S OOOOPPPTTIIIIMMAAAAAAAAAL

>>718002085
I do hear you need to boost XP gain by at least a little in single player.

>>718002038
You have to defend but default raids are really not threatening at all. At the attack only triggers when you're in proximity to your base so you don't have to rush to go defend when you get the message.

Is there a better way to level First Aid or do I just have to use hundreds of Splints?

>>718002038
You can make them safe from the respawning enemies but there will be portals opening to attacks on your crafting bench every so often.
>>718002083
I had help, playing 2p. And oh yeah the cubicle walls are great, and you even have wire management through the vents. Tasteful arrangement/10

>>718001936
Read the first part, got my ass slapped, then read the second part about gates being shortcuts.

>>718001673
Subnautica
Valheim if you truly have the survival-crafting 'tism

>>718002260
Is there even a reason to grind it? Like fortitude I don't bother to force level it and just let it level up naturally as I play.

>>718002083
Needs a no girls allowed sign

>>718001673
Subnautica 1 was the only other survival crafting game that hooked me this much.

>>718001673
Grounded og is good, one of the best surv crafters ever that has a very robust and unique NG+ system. Grounded 2 won't be playable for a couple more years

I played through the game with friends but I don't feel fully sated and want to try a solo run on Apocalyptic difficulty. Any advice going in? Any cool base locations beyond just the office sector?

>>718002554
I expected Grounded 2 to come out with a bit more than third of the map ready to play.

>>718002083
Neat. I like the cubicle walls surrounding it too. How do raids work when they can't really get to your base?

Is it an online game ? do u need friends or are there public servers ?

>>718002643
Grounded 1 on release was even less finished tbf, i only played that game after their fully yoked update. Was really hype for Grounded 2 but after 20 hours of it with the gf we both decided to not touch it for at least a year

>>718002646
What are raids? I just got level 3 security, didn't use it yet.

Lots of Grounded recommendations here. I skipped on that game a while ago because I looked at some gameplay and the PC wouldn't stop quipping like a faggot, is there a way to turn it off?

>>718002782
Periodic attacks on your base, or was that a rhetorical question meaning the attacks just auto fail because they can't get to it?

>>718002862
just embrace it, it's a cozy game and the cringe adds to the atmosphere

>>718002875
The worst I get are power leeches, and even those just insta die after installed portal protection. I can't say that I've experienced anything worthy of being called a "raid".

>>717984579 (OP)
>tried playing on hard
>died to the charging dog
I should roll it back to normal don't I

>>718002862
I pirated it to give it a try but could never get hooked. I personally don't see what other anons see in it. It's like Raft. It just missed something that prevented me from being full engaged.

>>718002083
>Built in the ceiling

That's fucking sick. Did you have issues getting power figured out?

>>718003092
iirc they have an outlet or two already up there

>>718003013
Git gud.

>>718003092
I think lack of power outlets is not a huge deal once you learn that you can daisy chain electronic scrap to route power from far away sockets. It took me way too long to learn I could do that.

>>718003092
Only until I learned about cord extenders. Before that, I was crafting that splitter thing whenever something was out of reach. I'm actually using 2 outlets one from below that I run up the column, and one that's already there.

>>718003271
You used to have to have it in your inventory, so that's how I never realized it in 60+ hours. One of the updates made it so you can use scrap from nearby boxes

searched every chest in my base multiple times
sorted them
crafting table says I have 38 available
cant find any wheat

decided to just do a trip into the portal in silo 2 to get some so that I could trade them at the lab for anteverse gems. no idea if I quickstacked an invisible stack or what

>>718001805
kek

>>718003616
Just build the PC that lets you read emails and recall items from any boxes

Any point to blasting this dude with x-rays or am I just supposed to get past him

>>718003704
my point was I wanted to take my wheat out to go trade it but couldnt find my wheat

maybe its in some far away chest someplace idk

>>718003724
It makes him drop Night Essence which is annoying to get otherwise, but you can't kill him. I once his on top of a box prefab stack where he couldn't damage me and smacked him with a melee weapon 20 or 30 times and it did make him despawn, though

>>718003616
i had the same problem with 9mm ammo
and it was just 3 fucking boxes. they vanished

>>718003724
You get Night Essence and have him try to kill you instead of sending you to the shadow realm.

>>718003901
makes me wonder if its a genuine bug or unknown lore with some entity, like the moving chest or the coworker. steals your item but lets you access it in the bench? hmm

>>718003724
He drops his balls, but it also pisses him off and makes him try to kill you. Use a different thing if you want to not piss him off for balls

>>718004031
>its a bug
>call it some anomaly/entity
>dont patch it
kek

>>718003867
>>718003952
>>718004035
Oh damn, I got 5 night essence now but I saw I need 10 for that plant + 1 for the lodestone portal. Guess ill just go progress past him. Even got him stuck in a doorway, blasted him for a while

>>718003724
His default attack is to send you to the shadow realm. If you blast him with xray it momentarily stuns him and makes him drop the orb but it makes him mad and he wants to kill you instead. You can't kill him, just gotta run.

>>718004205
nvm i might be retarded it was in my cooking chest I checked 5 times
I went to a new area and came back and it was there
My eyes probably skipped over it

>>717986135
>pretty much at your own pace

>>717988330
Pretend isn't just a Game, it's a lifestyle.

>>718004331
There's 3 night essence that respawn in the Nightrealm, and if you bring a fishing rod you can fish for Antefish and get night essence when you butcher them too.

>>718004793
Defeating him in leyak form is quite simple really but I wont spoil it for you.

>>718004793
>thought the image was 2 catgirls with an arm wrapped around some bulbous head alien at first

>>718005010
Yeah I know Leyak isn't really a threat but the ambient tension a 15 minute jumpscare timer adds turns the game from comfy play at your own pace exploration to "I really need to do things faster". It's like having a tiny fire under your ass.

>>717996305
>it takes all day to read a thread
You're gonna starve to death reading the email terminals

>>718004331

just use the laser pistol, if you shoot him while he is not aggro he will disappear in a single shot an drop the essence, if he is triggered he takes 3 spaced out shots to take out.

he comes back after a while but he is a non issue once you get the laser pistol

>>718005839
If you needed a question answered would you
A: scroll through 150 posts looking for maybe someone asking the same question
B:ask your question in a straightforward manner to get as immediate a response as possible

Guess im calling in sick today bros...

>>718006226
That's when you go to portal realms to grind some materials you're short of lol.

>>718002083
This area is actually somewhat problematic since Leyak sometimes spawns above the ceiling.

>>718006226
just use that day to fuck around in portal worlds, that mfer will show up in some of them but the black won't

>>718005839
Judging by how many people have to ask how to deal with leyak I don't think they do that either.

>>718006176

>he has a goon cave in the vents
Based.

>>718002036
I modify the stack size, plus I don't play solo. The carts aren't worth the hassle.

>>718002147
It takes a little bit of careful placement, but if you can't stack crates there's probably some object blocking placement. Some places are real picky bout a little piece of wall trim or something getting in the way.

>>718002260
Much like PZ, first aid is only something you will be leveling if you're a shitter.

will boxes I slap down in a portal world stay there? For example: putting a box at the entrance to a cold place with my snow gear inside of it to swap to when I go there?

>>718006468
>The carts aren't worth the hassle.
Carry one until inv full, drop one and dump everything into it and leave it behind. Then spawn it back to office lobby later. Where's the hassle, exactly?

>>718006554
Not worth juggling shit around when you're not playing solo. I don't need every piece of random junk I come across.

>Portal worlds reset
>Symphonist hasnt respawned
I used his head to build the scarecrow, thought i'd just kill him again to get the head to trade marion but I guess im out of luck until the next fog event happens

>>718006679
>I don't need every piece of random junk I come across.
ngmi

>>718006786
he spawns in different places, sometimes he blocks the elevator to the last power cell

>>718006786
Symphonists appear in 3 places on Foghill. Guarding the final elevator, in the little office part right off the main lobby, and next to the goo wall area that requires a later item to remove. There should always be at least 1 spawned per reset from my experience.

>>718006885
All the resources are infinite, I just do a portal run once in a while when I get low on something.

>most rewarding part of the game is finding new materials to unlock new recipes with
>Residential has almost no new materials at all
Pretty much my main gripe with this game.

>>718007262
I do think at least one zone, especially at the end, should lay off so that was fine with me

>Want to give myself SOME negative traits because fuck it, I'm headcanoning my guy escaped Black Mesa only to end up here now and it's funny to play an old scientist
>Eh, I'll just make myself a thirsty boy and go for dryness
I really hope that wasn't a terrible idea. On the plus side the game is running well. I've put all the settings on low to be on the safe side, it's meant to look like HL1 anyway.

>>718007484
i'd say sleep is the only only really irritating debuff to fuck with, food and water are both easily accessible and simple to carry decent quantities with you. Weak bladder is basically mandatory for spamming mugnades and garden plots. Being an eepy boy means you either drag your feet everywhere or lug a military cot with you whenever you leave your base

I dunno if I like all the crafting. Maybe it's my fault for essentially treating this like a Half Life knock off but things that should be obvious, like crafting an item my guy came up with, never spring to mind and I'm wandering around like it's System Shock 2 looking for more items and weapons. I should set up a proper base while I'm at it.
Is the starting cafeteria a good place? It seems roomy and defensible, outside of that door the alien burst open.

Is Verenkov SMG supposed to be pretty much useless? I swear to god, Z-17 is much more effective at killing pretty much everything even with 100% accuracy.

>>718004937
I think there's actually 4. Should be 2 in different cells, 1 on the balcony and 1 by the 2nd to last portal. I always get lost in that place though

What even is this game? I get strong votv vibes from the image posts.

>>718006176
If my question was: should I get this game? I would scroll through the thread and read the discussion

>>718008291
I prudently never touched the SMGs as I would only get a single magazine's worth of bullets from killing a group of soldiers. It's not hard to figure out the math of how that will go if I try using it with any regularity.

>>717985873
have you seen the terminal?
its like that

>>718008373
It's Half-life if you didn't have a HEV, weren't at ground zero during the incident, are some random faggot trapped in the base and instead of saving the world you're just trying to bunker down and make a comfy base to hide in while occasionally braving the rest of the base for supplies and to find out what's happening.

>>718007484
There's a way to reset your perks later, but it also resets your skill lvls.
Thirst is quite trivial to manage though, especially in the latter half of the game.

>>718008373
It's survival-crafting but the world is all hand crafted. Story is a mix of Half-Life and SCP with a little bit of 40K sprinkled in.

>>718008569
Reading this gave me a stroke

>>718008291
It does extra to GK shields so you might think to pair it with another weapon Halo style but it's still shit and not worth doing unless you have a lot of ammo to waste.

>>718007484
I love running lead belly + dry skin + weak bladder when I'm playing multiplayer
So I'm pretty much compelled to drink every nasty pool of water I find and have to piss constantly.
It's the funniest thing with new players when we're sneaking around and my character has to run off to go find a toilet

>>718008769
yeah, re-reading that I wonder if I was having one too. Sorry anon.

>>718007747
Coffee and some other drinks you find later can easily rectify needing sleep and they don't really weigh anything.

>>718008254
The game is designed that you could pretty much build a base anywhere you like
But the starting area has easy access to almost everything for the first 80% of the game so it's a great spot.

>>718002719
>Is it an online game ?
No, it's a singleplayer and peer-to-peer game.
>do u need friends
Not at all, singleplayer is great.
>or are there public servers ?
Haven't looked into it.

How would Gordon have faired in this situation?

New player here, what do I do about storage? I only just opened the doors to the canteen and my pockets are already full. I have one tiny toolbox that can fit three items.

>>718008254
The plaza is the main travel hub for the entire game, so the cafeteria or anywhere else near the plaza is a good spot.
Main things to consider are the number of entrances and exits you will have to defend, and access to toilets, water, etc.

>>718009920
Come on dog play for five more minutes and you'll figure it out.

>>718009920
Try packing up cabinets until you succeed, I store everything in a couple large ones.

He probably would have put a crowbar in Dr. Cahn's head at some point before it was too late. He has an easier time in combat as well.

>>718009920
Like the other anon said, you're way too early into the game to be asking how to do such basic stuff. If you can't figure out something like this on your own you're gonna have a bad time

I feel like I know less than when I entered.

>>718011287
This thing is marked as an NPC. Will I be able to interact with it eventually?

I did it.

>>718011424
How dud you grind first aid? How did it feel doing so knowing it's fucking useless?

>>718011397
Might need the grub suit? I crafted it but never went back here to talk to this guy. I'll have to try and see if it will talk to me with the suit on.

>>718011397
Make the Larva suit and you can speak to him.

>>718011528
I used hundreds of Splints by making a ramp next to the stairs near Warren and running off of it over and over. I know the last perk serves no purpose solo, but I still wanted to complete this for completion sake

>>718011287
>>718011397
that whole area is largely just an easter egg, but the fish and flowers there can be useful

>>718011528
>>718011873
The true strat is just being the medical class and making 10 gorillion bandages and/or splints since they get first aid exp for crafting med items.

Do you mean the Reaper? Yeah, X-Rays don't hurt the Reaper, they just startle him, make him poop himself, and then piss him off so that he tries to kill you instead of catch you. Only lasers will make the Reaper fuck off (and you can use Reaper poop to make one of the most useful lasers in the game).

Also, I don't think I've ever managed to zap Leyak with the X-Ray gun, only the towers. She always vanishes due to eye contact before I can get her to drop one of her anal beads.

Finally an anon that admits it but doesn't care. Godspeed

>>718015483
It's not cheating because items have weight

If you don't raise stack size, you are low I.Q.

>>718015558
Kek, no wonder you have such a hard on for him, youre underaged too

>>718015724
>him

I kinda want to move my base cause it's kind of an ugly cluster fuck, but the reasons I picked the location still remain valid (proximity to portals and tram hub). But now I have personal teleporters and workbenches at key locations so I am already teleporting around anyways.

I increased stack sizes because i've farmed so much shit there's no area in the game where i can make a base with enough crates to hold everything while still being coherent

>>718015823
I increased stack sizes because I have a large brain and penis.

>>718015863
Cheating is for asians and asians have little pp's

tfw I want to raise stack size to help with storage but refuse to do so before beating the game once with default settings

>>718015931
Good thing using the server settings isn't cheating then. Large brain versus your small one, so you may not understand me as I am so much above you.

wow did I say you have a tiny brain? I mean microscopic. Sad!

No-joke spoiler
>You can, but they have like 999,999 hp lol. There is another way, though.

>>718015810
I wish I didn't make so many fucking personal teleporters before getting pads, or rather I wish they were able to be salvaged so I didn't have to just throw all those memory bricks in the trash when I could have used them for more batteries.

You need a RAWKET LAWNCHAIR

Default settings are fucking awful. 2x is the bare minimum for me.

Composers get one shot by rocket launcher rockets but there is no reason to kill them.

>>718016205
Theres teleport pads eventually? Well I guess ill hold off on a base move then.

>>718016312

Oh, microscopic? I meant hydrocephallic, non-existent brain.
Barely sentient vegetable.

>outing yourself as a tourist
PISS AND SHIT. FLOOR. NOW.

>>718015975
Just do it. There is nothing more unfun than inventory management and stopping yourself from looting some materials because you don't want to fill up valuable storage slots with too much wood or coils or whatever.

Why do beehives take damage when you harvest them?

>>718016379
You unlock them when you hit reactors, start stockpiling the funky crystal from the exor village now because you'll need a lot of it.

is this retard still shitting himself over the server options?
Wait until he sees how people play ARK lmao

Where do I park my base? I have outgrown my base to a tremendous degree. Maybe the security office next to manufacturing with the charging port?

>>718016516
>PISS AND SHIT. FLOOR. NOW.
"saar", in America and Europe we use toilets.

>>718016664
>horder shack
Jesus Christ how horrifying

>>718016379
It's very very late game though. You get the materials for the Teleport Pad at the second to last area. Honestly just stick with Personal Teleporters. The only actual good use for a teleport pad is for exploration because a pad+battery is lighter than a workbench + battery + empty personal teleporter. You can slap down a pad anywhere you see a wall socket when you are ready to return, and then jump straight back to the pad when you want to continue.

>>718016632
I built mine on Office Sector 3 where the huge conference table is. It has ok space, good proximity to stuff, and is defensible.

>>718016732
bullshit, that ain't no hoarder shack, you can see the floor and out the windows

>>718016740
>workbench + battery + empty personal teleporter
I just now realized I should be doing this with an extra base attuned teleporter and leaving the cart at home now
I truly am a summer intern

>>718016740
Fuck that, pads are so much more convenient it's like night and day. No more wasting inventory space or hotbar slots, no more sitting around charging them, no walk of shame because you died with them not in the hotbar. Personals are fine to start but any sort of larger network exaggerates their negatives too much to deal with forever.

>Reading through thread
>Someone is having a Dread Gazebo moment
>>718012442

>>718016943
he's not saying they aren't; just saying you get the clumsier version WAY before the pads

>>718016618
Probably the same reason the stuff you harvest spills all over the floor: We're not very good at beekeeping.
Just bonk it with a hammer every so often and it'll be fine.

>>718016664
Don't be afraid to expand out onto the cafeteria floor. That whole area is perfectly defensible. But the security office you mentioned is also a solid choice.

>>718017008
He's literally saying not to use them because reactors is "too late" (it isn't), and I called it fucking dumb because it is. If you're going to jump in at least know what you're talking about.

Every bit of sympathy for these two that I had is gone in an instance. Fuck you two. Shoulda taken the sub and oceangate'd urself.

This is sadistic.

>>718017294
you're past the hard part at least

>>718017294
don't be a pussy

Don't forget the cute figurine

>Was already hugging the wall before the elevator doors opened
I always do this in horror game. Not going to give them the chance to spook me cheaply.

>>718017256
dont worry anon just wait for the ng+ with the good ending

>>717990195
Yes

not only did I increase stack size, I upped exp to 1.5 and durability to 1.2 when I started my game with friends based off of my solo run experience.
They don't even know the settings aren't standard and I'm secretly RAPING them with fun
DELIGHTFULLY DEVILISH

>>718017294
Jumping in this game is quite shit

So are all frogposters this retarded?
Or is it just the one guy I keep seeing acting like he's got mold spores in his brain?

>>718017771
>So are all frogposters this retarded?
yes
welcome to 4chan

>>718017102
I've just been putting them back up when they "break" and fall on the floor

>>717997530
I like the theory that (you) are a fellow monster
Honestly it's the only thing that explains how willfully destructive/careless you are throughout the game

>>718017964
only a monster could shit as much as my character does a day

>>718017857
its easier to just dismantle them and put them back up, you don't need a suit, they don't take damage and you get a loot bag instead of picking shit up off the floor

The real issue is you don't actually need honey for much, I haven't touched by beehives in a long time.

peak comfy

This isn't working at all.

>>717984579 (OP)
is this game on console or switch?

>>718018217
Idk. When I harvest the last honey it just drops on the floor with the honey and beeswax and I just pick it all up and put the hive back. No loot bag

>>718018582
the fish can smell the poop on you

>>718018528
There's a secret rug over the soccer field fence in flathill
you can also paint some rugs

>>718018613
Disregard, just got what you meant. Might try that.

I've been ignoring fishing for nearly the whole game and I'm now in hydro. Am I missing out on anything spectacular, or is it mainly just food and a cool aquarium?

>>718018747
The big fish eill be your friend :)

I'm at the path to the Reactors.
What should I expect? Also game is kinda short btw. I played for like 20 hours to reach here.

any tips on how to dispatch enemies with guns fast? Am I just underequipped?

>>718018831
Aim for the head
The scrapshot can one shot most soldiers if you sneak up and shoot them point blank

>>718018831
None. The early game guns suck and are just there to start the XP grind. Apparently the starting shotgun is good, but I could never get it to work better than a melee + shield combo

Are books just lore, or can you do something with them?

>>718018793
cool, sis, when you going to be on GDQ?

There's no one here

>>718018773
>Skill description says it won't be 'afraid' of you anymore
>It is afraid

???

>>718018904
It's not doing that anymore, even point blank domeshots dont work even directly to the face while stealthed on an armorless enemy anymore.

okay, it followed me home after my first trip to the labs. what the FUCK am i supposed to do? it's in my house.

>>718019354

just crowbar 2.0 them from stealth

>>718019319
animals mouths are their weapons anon

>>718019419

>>718019506
If I am scared of something, I try to evade it, not actively hunt it to take an omnomnom

>>718017964
can you even kill this guy?

Who the fuck is this faggot, how did he get in with my barricades, and what he he even doing crawling on the floor?

>>718018831
You wont get a gun that can reliably one shot enemies until quite a bit later. The grinder is probably the best ranged weapon you can get early on.

>I made a crossbow out of office equipment that fires pens
I love this stupid game so much.

>>718020061
Are you sure you want to know?

>>718020184
If he's some form of SCP then he's clearly the "J" variety with his ramblings about pizza and Mondays.

>>718020061
He's your coworker anon, feed him. Just don't give him stuff in containers like soup mugs, 'cuz he'll eat the whole fucking thing.
