Which is better?
Throwing weapons or Sprint + Pickaxe combo

>>718184250 (OP)
Throwing, any day.

Por qué no los dos?

i keep forgetting to make myself throwing weapons and i even picked the job that was supposed to have throwing bonuses.

>>718184250 (OP)
Fascinating...

>>718184250 (OP)
>Me on Saturday morning

>>718184879
Guess you could say you're throwing.

>>718184250 (OP)
what are some other games with otherworldly type shit?
obviously silent hill comes to mind.

you can change your background on the loading screen, you just need to click on "change settings" and then "select background scene"
these are unlocked as you progress ingame
leyak is hidden in one of these

>>718184250 (OP)
Is this half life

>>718185350
It pays as close of a homage to Half Life aesthetics as possible without infringing on copyright.

sorry jump pack, you don't work half the time... upgraded void pack is my new best friend

I guess I'm fucking stuck in Canaan now.

>inventory filled with like 10 diff weapons and ammo
IM SORRY EVERYTHING JUST LOOKS SO FUN TO USE

>>718185350
its half life but instead of playing a scientist with proper hazard course training and an hev suit you play a scientist with no training, no suit, you make weapons out of floor lamps, duct tape, and chef's knives and your "hev suit" is just magazines and duct tape. also everything that could have gone has already gone wrong and worse.

>>718185214
apparently I missed one

>>718185214
>>718186642
Are these tied to Steam achievements?

I was joking cause the graphics remind me of source graphics but that actually sounds pretty cool

I want more IS's and to open up the Curie block

>>718187050
still on a rail, stupid is the only option
even the frenly g8keepers knew it

>>718187626
GATE is just that dysfunctional, dude was listed dead three months ago but security never realized it or suspended any of his accounts or access rights

>>718185214

Can't believe Jimmy Neutron got hired by GATE

>>718187979
I just took of an armor piece. he's not worth it and you get the speed bonus from 2 pieces anyway

I cannot find the actual reactor in the Mist Reactor. Aside from a big glass wall that says REACTOR .

>>718186642
you need to go back to containment block for that one

>journal resetting still not fixed
baka

have they fixed the torii world/supporter pack yet?? reviews say it runs pretty bad.

>>718186718
Nah, you just find them in the world, on bodies and shit.

>>718188156
just keep exploring and going into the vents and stuff, you need to push buttons and repair stuff to get access to the upper part of mist reactor where you then need to unjam it

>>718188554
Upper? I've gotten all the elevators and stuff working, but the arrow points down so I've been wandering back and forth in lower storage for a while. Good to know if I'm actually supposed to go up.

>>718188238
carbuncle anomaly

>>718188701
it's a maze, if the floor you enter mist reactor with the broken robot and reception area is ground floor then the floor you actually enter mist reactor through is above

>>718188898
there's a room you access through a vent that has maggots in it and jump pads, and you'll find janet and abe here
if you go to the top you'll access mist reactor

>>718186285
It was a grueling death march for me. I went in unprepared and came out with all my shit broken
My advice is don't fuck around in the village, run along the side, unlock the front gates and then just sprint straight back through the mine

>petn
idk why but i'm surprised the devs know this, figured they would just have c4 or something. actually i don't know too many games that have explosives that aren't just c4. i know a few games like teleglitch have rdx

>>718189014
>That room with Janet and Abe
Well shit, thanks, anon. I was looking based on this sign near reception.

>>718188310
I got the game off a key site but it came with the supporter stuff for some reason
Took one look in the tori world and decided it was too long of a run out of there to bother making it my base
Might not be so bad now that I'm fast as fuck but meh not moving my shit again

>>718187050
My current theory, backed by the witch's rambling about only entering portals because you left them and that brief bit of time travel: you are timelooping in a portal from that place and they are farming this universe for something

>>718187792
The dude telling you to report to him could hardly remember his name so it's likely he barely knew any of the scientists

>>718189429
my 1.0 steam copy had the torii world enabled, but I read that it was a bug and some guy also had it happened to him, built a bunch of stuff, and then the bug fixed itself and now he's locked out

>>718188147
Get the 'pets' trinket and he solos everything

Speaking of Torii, how do you enable it on a dedicated server? My friend and I have both been playing since a while back, but the separate server he set up doesn't seem to have it accessible.

>>718189581
I have the actual DLC added on my library so I don't think it was a bug. It just didn't seem terrible convenient compared to staying the lobby, and later the labs

>Go through a new portal
>It ends up in Silent Hill, only the monsters in the fog are creepy giants
>The power cells I came for are sealing this place
>I outright have to release this utter bullshit on the world just because I want to operate a forklift truck
>Leave this place and discover I've now made the fog and monsters within a new load of bullshit for the facility to deal with
>Go back in anyway just because I want the arcade machines for my house and all the horrific monsters in the world aren't stopping me from adding to my manchild cave in the canteen
I get the feeling I'm going to be spending the game making the facility even worse at this rate. That soldier was right, it would be better to leave these portals alone and I'm the worst GATE employee ever.
Dooming the world to become Silent Hill just because I wanted to switch on a forklift truck. I'm supposed to be a scientist.

>>718189709
He was more right than he lets on. You only find out why way later

>>718189581
I too have it enabled, I bought my friends the game off of a keysite, but mine was from steam. Bought it after release, when I saw the threads here

>>718189812
I read on the journal there's a way to cancel a day of fog, but it involves pumping it all to the surface.
I know that's the Australian outback, but I can't help but feel by doing that I'll be starting the movie The Mist.

>>718189382
>activate gale reactor
you might end up scratching your head on that one too, you can't just walk in

>>718189709
>he doesnt know
lol. lmao even.

>>718189709
sometimes you gotta break some eggs to craft a makeshift coffee grenade

>>718189694
I'm still confused how I have Torii without having the DLC.

>>718190142
It's just condensation, what harm could it possibly do? It is by far the least threatening thing you let escape by the end I still think GATE was IS 012's plan all along, to get the IS all in one place so any escape would be inevitable and catastrophic. Manse even complains in an email the IS have influences on each other due to close proximity

>>718190289
I bought the core keeper bundle and got torii

>>718190289
I think the game is a little fucky in places.
>One of the most common achievements is getting past the offices
>I never get it
>I get the rarer one for making and using a hacker pad and getting through Flathill
>Entering Maintenance West suddenly gives me the office achievement, either late or implying a ton of people found a way to skip Flathill.

>>718189709
Don't worry, the portals reset to what they were before after some time and will generate new power cells. Is this canon? Does it re-contain the fog? Who knows!

>>718190526
The portal world achievements were added in 1.0 I think, so those who played in early access might not have them.

>>718190516
oh, that might be it. I have Core Keeper already, and I bought the bundle because it was like 2 bucks cheaper than the game alone.

>>718190769
I have the base game and nothing else and still have Torii.

>>718189709
Sometimes you gotta kill 6 gorillion ppl to turn on a cool ass forklift

I hope its pizza friday

>>718189332
it would make more sense to have petn around than c4 in a facility like this.

I regret encountering the military so much. I just know I've let them into the earlier areas doing this.
I'm thinking of moving my base to that nice security office overlooking the maintenance access too. That room is comfy and even has a repairable shutter/defence system. I hear a lot of people use it and I can see why.

man i regret not killing security bots much, much earlier. all this time i could been drinking fizz bangs and cherry slams instead of water.

>>718191534
Healthy body healthy mind

>>718191369
So far ive seen no reason to not build right next to warren. Since most areas loop back.
Before personal teleporters and teleporter pads its just a lot of extra running.

>>718191363
Yeah it's a nice touch they thought to choose petn

>>718191760
That feels too exposed for me. Plus doesn't a mech wander right through there? The canteen is defensible, has tons of room and nothing comes there outside of raids and even then they're never in the actual canteen itself.

>>718191957
my group was able to deal with the robot the second we made 1 choppinator, and now, late game in reactors, he has his own Cuckshed where we just collect his parts, as do lots of other t2 & 3 robots elsewhere

What use is money? Vending machines are pointless as cooking is far better for you and its free.

>>718191957
the robot is a nonissue if you set up a couple of spinning blade traps with a battery right in front of its home. Which can be done on day 1 with enough game knowledge.

It is a bit exposed but you learn where things spawn during raids and make traps accordingly.
The games difficulty drops greatly when you consider traps/base defenses for most situations.

>>718192183
I've made a battery but forgot about it and left it charging. It seems a hassle to charge a battery and plug it into a trap every other night though. How long do batteries last?

>>718192112
for buying coffee to make mugnades / pooping or buying slushies to make slush bombs, one of most OP items in the game

>>718192362
batteries are set up and forget. plug > battery > multiplug (optional) > trap(s).
battery fills during the day and takes over during the night. I dont know their exact capacity but a single tier 1 battery is enough for the robot situation with 2 spinning blades

This game is such a fucking treat goddamn, I'm so glad that I tried it despite co-op crafting survival tags, a delicious mix of half-life and SCP with a heavy dose of dimension fuckery, I'm enjoying every second of it. I wish there was more games like that.

>>718192112
Certain things from machines have uses other than just consuming them.

>>718192783
it's a rare gem, most survival crafting games turn out to be awful or their stint in early access results in a bunch of cut content and delays

>Game is already pretty easy with friends
>We unlock laser weapons
>Don't even have to look at the screen anymore
I'm gonna have to replay this on my own.

>>718192521

lists all of the ratios, it really should be in the wiki.

>>718192108
Is there a way to automate robot farming, or do you always need to hit them out of the thing?
Wait never mind, you probably kill them every night time.

>>718187050
we're australian

I've mostly been doing accuracy/sharp weapons so far, is throwing worth focusing on some? I think all I can really make reliably is the shitty darts and makeshift grenade, with the electron grenade just getting unlocked and not enough capacitors to be feasible.

Power cells? Flathill? Fuck that gay shit, I'm out of here

>>718193282
Increased reloading skill only speeds up the animation a little bit until you hit some keystone skills that actually change the animation to be a less clumsy one. I think it's 10 or 15?

>>718193221
I would assume either have it on a battery so it does it at night, or have it close enough to the station that it busts that down too.

>>718194326

>>718189709
I'm at hydro right now and I only had this fog event happen once. I think I've only had every event happen once now that I think about it. Anyway, is it possible to kill the blind things that waddle around while the event is on or that one blind guy I found in Flathills at a later date? Feedback is quite poor in this game

>exploring tunnel
>see giant bug run by
>think "Huh that reminds me of Ghorm from Corekeeper."
>reach this room
It's actually just a corekeeper crossover, these bugs are tough so I'll have to come back with stronger weapons.

>>718190562
This is something 've often wondered. It would seem reasonable for no more fog events to occur after resets unless the power cells were removed again, but that doesn't seem to be the case, at least from a gameplay standpoint. I still don't really understand how the temporal resets are supposed to work, I probably came across that information at one point.

Made a /vg/ thread in case these threads dry up too much to keep on /v/ and people still wanna talk about it.

how the fuck do you use the quantum exchangers? the output is right on the front but where is the input? can't find it on any side of the machine.

the lamogi is on a shelf above the table, i just think it looks fugly

>>718196225
you drop it in the chute dingus

>>718196225
You drop things in the hole.

>>718196225
input is dropping the item out of your inventory on the left side. it's a bit weird, the human traders used to work the same way but they changed things lol

>>718196225
You just drop into the input with G (or drag whole stack form inventory).

>>718196325
>dingus
NTA but you're like 15-20 hours in and haven't had to do that once

>>718196325
>>718196342
>>718196350
>>718196364
thanks. lol i guess i should've known but i dont think anything else has worked like this yet in the game so far

>>718196509
it's funny cuz i had the opposite issue, i dropped the shit in but didn't realize there was a drawer to interact with to take items out

>>718196509
to be fair, the npc traders used to work that way, with a chute in front of them.
so you used to learn it earlier.

Yes, you can kill the symphonists

im in early game
can i save anyone i find? i can't use bandages or anything like that on anyone else it seems.

this game feels like the main argument against procgen maps. You don't actually need a map be procedurally generated for survival shit to be fune if the map is good

That's clearly Wayne Static's blonde brother

FINALLY got an xray turret set up at the back door that the leyak can open. will this actually kill it in the short distance between the door and the gun? or does it need a straight-away and some uptime?

>>718197860
the xray auto turns when its in LoS and will freeze it in place, i think
i prefer the handheld version

>>718198052
i can't make that version yet. haven't discovered the recipe.
i'm more interested in the trinket that i've seen posted here so that i can passively dispel the thing without having to actually press buttons at all

>>718194849
lmao

>>718195489
I put most of mine on the secret Flathill rug

>>718198119
I cant justify a trinket slot on that but its a nice option. I have no idea if it makes it drop essence like the xray does

>>718198119
The trinket will prevent encounters but you won't get the drops

>>718198216
That's a good idea

>>718197860
An x-ray tower that close to the wall will probably trigger through it (this is possible, happens at my base). Doesn't need any time to hit, it's pretty much instant once they're in range.

>>718198389
HASTA LA VISTA

>>718198282
>>718198227
i just really really hate this thing and want it out of my game. ive dropped every other objective and im just speed exploring now and ignoring all details and loot to get to whenever i get either the trinket or the jail for it so i can finally go back to having fun. can't emphasize enough how much i dislike having to have my head on the swivel 24/7 while i'm playing

>>718198457
just turn on subtitles. lol

>>718196295
No Krasue? It has a special place in my heart, it's one of the few I found on my own. I also got two Blacksmith bobbleheads, from the lvl. 20 construction perk, pretty cool.

>>718198502
even with the subs, i've face-checked the thing twice while rounding corners in my forklift and gotten jumpscared haflway out of my fucking soul.

>>718194229
Throwing attacks scale a lot with your skill level. In my current playthrough I'm at security and just 14 levels in throwing, and the shitty dart pens are doing 37 damage, they stack up to 64 without changing stack size and half of the times I use them they don't break. They're fantastic.
Haven't used mugnades but I've seen posts where people spam the shit out of the things and say they're very good.

>>718198756
that happened to me with Krasue
trust me when you get the handheld xray it wont be a problem assuming you are ok with the permanent -1 inventory space. any time i hear the "uuh" I chase em down. I even get close enough to make it REEEE because the xray paralyzes it. Never even bothered making the containment.

There another way to increase strength besides shaking vending machines and lugging heavy shit?

>>718198457
you can just stare at it and it disappears for a while, later you can get a containment for it. if the leyak is preventing you from enjoying the game then this might not be the game for you

>>718198808
later on theres a pick that you can make that teleports back to you when thrown. its fucking great

>>718199039
I unlocked it the first time I finished the game but didn't bother with it because I wasn't using the throwing weapons. With a base damage that high and the scaling from throwing, if the return speed isn't abysmal yeah I can see why everyone is calling it broken.

>>718194229
quantam pick is a beast even with the nerf

>the games engine is UE5
what? why? does it have stutter?

>>718199286
the return speed is pretty quick assuming it hits something. its like 2-3 seconds after impact. if that.
as a bonus, if you just barely miss, the enemies will turn to look at where it landed, so it doubles as a distraction tool.

>>718199357
It sure does. My computer fans also go fucking nuts when the game runs, even if nothing is happening.

>>718195489
Reddit collection

>>718199357
No stutter, but the game makes my computer run at full force.

is this objectively the best setup? i'm on my third playthrough at this point and i think i've got it figured out
brainmeat is nice but the point system is awkward, making it very difficult to get everything and i value thick-skinned more
fanny pack is non-negotiable

>>718199686
>fanny pack is non-negotiable
unless you do the platform cart thing. then 2 inventory spaces is nothing

>>718199357
it's meant to look like HL1, just turn everything to minimum; the game barely looks different when you do anyway, 90% of the settings either make no noticeable change or just remove reflections and environmental fog
the only time it stutters is when you move across a loading screen

>>718199472
I LOVE FUNKO POPS

>>718199357
only briefly while loading between 'zones' or regions of the map. the big issue is how hard it makes your PC work. most games get my CPU to ~48-49C. in this one, idling at the main menu gets me up to about 58C

>Order and other sapients look at where the shot landed, then do a full 360 sweep looking for where it came from

>>718199028
why would disliking a single monster that appears at the 20 hour mark mean that the entire game is "not for me"? do you even think about your sassy reddit burns before you post them? gonna hit me with "i know you are but what am i?" next?

>>718199760
it's not just 2 spaces, it's 2 hotbar spaces which come with a 25% weight reduction (as do all hotbar slots)

>>718199357
i run it on medium/high mixed settings, mainly because i don't care about ridiculous reflections on the floors. i dont have any stutter but for whatever reason if i try to run it at any fps over ~90 it just pegs my gpu to 100% but if i cap the game to ~75-80 ish my gpu hovers around 45-55% load, stays cool as a cucumber, and it also barely even touches my cpu. its a strange one.
once i get further in the game and see more environment variation i'm going to test the settings and maybe just turn everything to low/off make it look more like goldsrc

Trying to play with a friend and he has a 5800x3d + 6800xt
he claims FPS drops to zero every 2 minutes or so
what could be the reson?

how do power leeches work? i got a rolling black out weather effect for the first time and a journal entry on them but it doesn't explain anything about their mechanics. it seems like they briefly popped up at all of the batteries in my base and dropped dead instantly leaving loot behind?? what the hell was that about?

>>718199983

The game can run on a potato

If one monster in the early game is preventing you from having fun (your own words) then you aren't going to survive the rest of the game, it's that simple. Protect less Redditor and stop crying. I didn't burn you, just answered your question with basic facts.

If they had made him hostile if you didn't feed him for a week it would have been great

when should you set up a base? My friends and I just picked it up but we feel like we should just keep pushing. Is there any beginner tips or guides you'd recommend? Nothing spoiler heavy, just advice.

Game seems fun but really overwhelming at first.

fanny pack has me curious for the extra weight mitigation but I didn't need it in on my character

>>718202030
When you run out of inventory, I guess. Make sure to collect hearts, you'll need them for a bench upgrade to craft from storage.

>>718202030
>when should you set up a base?
asap so you know that stuff like benches create a safe radius and stuff like that
you also want to collect some stuff a bit early but don't go super overboard hoarding as you'll learn later that resources won't be much of a problem
one of the biggest tips is not to necessarily to try and build everything you need when you can just go find it out in the map, package it, and bring it back to your base instead. (i.e. water)

>>718202030
Yeah >>718202130 is right, the biggest usefulness of setting up a base is a place to gather all your resources. Realistically you can set up base wherever you want because the crafting bench blocks nearby enemy spawns.

>>718202030
don't be afraid to make a base in offices, hell even the starting area with the fountain

>>718200023
Sometimes it seems like they try to spawn in, the game doublechecks if they can fit where they're spawning at and goes "oh lmao, nope" and pops them. Happens on my batteries snug between a wall and benches or other furniture, but not on say a charger array wide-out on a table.
As for how to actually deal with getting rid of their event, a giant floating kidneystone will be in the office lobby kinda rolling around in the air. It'll shock you if you're too close, but it's tiny chip damage, just keep wailing on it with whatever and it'll eventually pop with no warning. Great accuracy skill training imo.

>>718184250 (OP)
I haven't touched throwing or heavy weapons.
Throwing seems like it would be worse than guns and heavy weapons are so slow.
I guess the sprint attack might cancel that problem though.

>>718203090
Exactly what I did, kinda regret it due to how raids get fucked up, but the ambience cannot be fucking beat.

Throwing gives an extra multiplier in dmg calculations

>>718203090
I have my base inside the flathill arcade, very aesthetic

>>718203170
Yeah heavy weapons seem like hot fucking garbage with how slow they are. I can do even more damage in the time it takes to do one swing with them with a normal weapon slashing repeatedly.

>>718203170
Throwing is better than guns since you can actually aim them properly, Heavy Weapons are absolutely awful unless you sprint attack as that makes them not slow as shit and deal even more damage on top.

>>718203216
Do raids still spawn?

What armor are my fellow human scientists using for reactors? I'm using half exor and half wood

>>718203892
They do, but get stuck outside on the rooftop. Exors can teleport in if you manage to aggro them properly, and I think it might be possible for grenade-using enemies to get them in if they're RIGHT up against the doors, but otherwise they're just stuck out there and eventually despawn. Really annoying as my bed's against the glass and they'll wake me up when patrolling around.

>>718203437
All that matters in stealth is alpha damage
The biggest heaviest weapon you got plus the stealth damage bonus is usually enough to take out most enemies
(This all got superseded by the sprint attack meta, still uses heavy weapons to do massive damage and then run away)

I got stuck on the crystalline set the second I saw its buff. I'm a stealthfag by nature; been great bypassing so much of the insane shit going on in hydroplant, reactors, Intrados. Too fucking bad the devs are incompetent and I get instantly seen and permanently tracked by such things as autoguns, random enemies, and basically anything hostile after throwing a grenade despite that not breaking the stealth effect. I mean seriously, nobody sees me throw it, I'm not visible to anyone when it detonates, yet stuff will track RIGHT to where I'm crouched and start wailing on me. Maximum homo.

>>718191957
3 tesla coils and an industrial battery mulches any of the security mechs that respawn up to that point. Just make sure to turn them back on once you're done looting.

You would think stealth would be amazing to deal with the shitty turrets but no, they are literal aimbot, complete dogshit.

>>718195574

>>718203936
I used full exor for the distraction. Out he pops to tank and then I laser things down (shield and melee when I didn't need to deatomize things).

>>718202065
Bladder of steel is a debuff because it gives you less poo

>>718205217
maybe uhhh the turrets have heat seeking or some shit idfk

Reactors is really fucked up. Feels like I'm just completely outclassed damage-wise, am I just pigeonhold into making the rocketlauncher? The Deatomizer only has enough hi-beam charge to kill maybe four enemies at a time.

>>718206401
Use the magbow.

No the shield enemies are just cunts everything immediately after Reactors is way easier for a while

>It the camper sniper and machine gunner with accuracy of sniper rifle + 90% heavy bleed chance episode

>>718206401
The laser grenade's great once you can make it. It's a single grenade you can use over and over, teleports back to your hand, refills with laser charge. It can really fuck up groups of enemies if thrown right.

>scrapshot guns better than the military guns
If you mean the upgraded scraps and the base military guns, sure, but neither of those things is good compared to any of the upgraded ones, especially not the scrap shotgun

>>718208603
scrapshot guns are good early and their ammo is borderline free; the lode pistol is pretty decent
military guns only become good towards the end of the game when you have loads of ammo and don't have to give up an armor piece just to use them
the biometric meme should simply not be in the game, the guns aren't strong enough to justify that limitation when shit like the deatomizer and hypercross exist with no such limits

>>718208517
I think it could have been properly explained if they spent more timing thinking about it, but yeah at the end of the day it's just so you can grind mats.
It's been a while since I read the emails that originally explained it, but something like a portal is only giving you a separate snapshot-in-time of an anteverse that runs on loop could have worked. That however would almost fully divorce most consequences of tampering with an anteverse though.

>>718209138
lol

>>718208341
my quick and dirty tier list after 5 minutes of thinking, my point being that lodestone version of the melee weapons are awful, and I hear the laser pistol is a straight downgrade over the energy pistol
B tier is a funny tier of stuff that's useful in certain circumstances or early on but their damage fails to keep up with later enemies. Grinder should probably be here but for early game projectile weapon it's pretty good
didnt play with tier 2 guns enough to see how they go, the 5.56 is great but the sniper, shotgun and SMG are kinda shit
I didn't get a single gatekeeper gun so i have no idea how those play

>>718209351
is the antique shotgun that good? i've been liking the thumper over it

>>718209676
Think it has one of the single highest damages in the game so its great for one tapping unsuspecting enemies, and shotgun ammo is probably one of the most abundant and actually useful ammos in the game especially late game
Its also fun once you polish it, rolling the dice with every shot

>>718209676
It gets its anomalous effect back when you upgrade it, which make it comically overpowered when you're lucky.

This doesn't seem right.

>>718210029
It does have two major downsides tho, annoyingly short range, very easy to whiff your first hit, and you need a specific speed to be considered sprinting so turning around or getting knocked back tend to cancel sprint, which fucks you over royally if you were about to hit because now you need to cancel the weaker and slower swing.
The Exor Cha is the bane of sprint attacks because her spear will cancel your sprint from beyond your attack range.

>>718209879
>>718209819
wtf that is a TWO PERCENT CHANCE

>>718210235
Yep, I fought the final boss with it, 300 shells later I didn't triggered it once.
But then I randomly shot one pest with it, deleted an entire room, it was worth it.

>>718210029
the problem is stamina, you need stamina to run and the power attack eats stamina
Once your stamina is too low you cant power attack any more, and later on when you have multiple energy shield enemies that becomes a bigger issue

>>718210293
Also you'll alert enemies with it, which become a huge problem once you start running into GKs as they'll just load their shield before you get a chance to hit.

>>718210029
Honestly, getting more strength should let you swing those weapons at a reasonable speed. Even if they swung at the same speed as other weapons, they are outclassed.

>>718210280
Same, except the random shot was a misclick and the room I deleted was the room with all my storage and bench.

>>718210352
The mystagogue enemy also repels you when you get in melee range, and I'm talking launching you across the room
I've died a bunch because they've launched me into pits or off walls...

So I just upgraded my energy pistol into the laser pistol, is the move to just carry around a laser collector with me to recharge the LP and the Deatomizer?
I'm gonna go do the grinding to upgrade all my weapons now and make a bunch of ammo for them, part of the reason I stopped using the Magbow is I was tired of having to get more rebar and carbon for the bolts, but now that I upgraded it I figure I should get around to it. Used a bunch of these lodestone fragments to make lodestone discs for the upgraded grinder as well.

>>718210507
The mystagogue and the chieftain can also cancel your charge by grabbing you. Died quite a lot to a mystagogue just strangling me repeatedly.
I also died to knocking a chieftain off a cliff, he turned around and grabbed me, dragging me with him.

>>718210581
>is the move to just carry around a laser collector with me to recharge the LP and the Deatomizer?
Pretty much. It's also handy to have more than one Deatomizer because you will eat through its charge extremely quickly.

jesus fuck you need so much transuranic alloy to do anything in reactors, let alone upgrade/make gear

>>718210198
>>718210293
>>718210352
I'm somewhat glad to learn that running full tilt and overheading problems into the dirt does fall off eventually. That said I still wish the regular attack came out faster by itself.

>>718210454
>getting more strength should let you swing those weapons at a reasonable speed
I would like this. Right now the swing just always feels like the melee equivalent of using guns with zero levels in accuracy.

>>718210740
it gets much worse, its like the main crafted ingredient until the end of the game. Digital gold is just as annoying if you invest into teleporter tech too
Best advice is to get used to kill the volatile enemies in mist reactor before they explode so you can get the carapace. You can trade that at dusk reactor or whatever for plutonic blood, which is the rarer ingredient and only drops from the volatile exors which dont spawn as much

Holy shit, the Crowbar 2.0 is amazing.

>>718212039
Same. I wish you could see your scientist wearing all of the gear instead of just standing there in plainclothes. In general I wish there was more customization options, I think I've only found two additional hidden cosmetics and I'm in Reactors at this point. I know there are a bunch of locked doors and hatches and stuff I've never found the way to open from the other side (if I even can, I've been demoralized after learning there are some doors that are fake and you never open) but this game is too big and I've played for so many hours at this point I kind of am exhausted and I just want to get to the end.

afaik there's a few "tutorial" resources that just respawn until you solve whatever it is they're there for, so you don't get locked out.

turn off whatever you don't like. do not be afraid to tune the game however you want, there's no need to suffer, this game is way too cool for that, the exploration is nice. most people agree for solo to turn up xp gain and adjust death penalty however you like. if you don't like item durability or having to go back and forth repairing your stuff just adjust durability to however you want. make the game yours and have fun on your terms.

I'm about the same level of progression: we're definitely making things worse, but so far it isn't 'too' bad.
Conductors can't just go wherever they want: they're naturalized in Flathill South Dakota because there's a geo-magnetic abnormality already there (it's why they could set up the portal in the first place) that replicates similar conditions from their home dimension and they also need that mist to completely saturate the area. When you use the Flathill portal a bunch of that mist gets in and it allows some of them to wander into the facility; you can just vent the mist out into the Australian outback and 'suffocate' them tho. This sound like a cunt move, but it's so fucking hot and arid that there's no hope for their survival out there.

The Exor are probably way, way, worse. Their native dimension has an extremely slow rate of entropy and I'm getting the feeling it must take hundreds, maybe even thousands, of years for them to naturally complete their lifecycle, but in our own high-energy state dimension they can complete it in fucking months. There's just a bunch of stupid, dipshit, Exor running around with the bodies of adults and the minds of children.

tldr; It's bad, but it has rules. I've been playing 100% solo and enthralling myself in the lore. Good game.

I think that's all of them.

They really need to add some better lighting options to the game to colourise spaces without the ugly bulbs.

>>718217186
How do you like that place as a base? It looks kinda comfy.

>>718217186
Where is it

>>718217186
Oh hey I use that same base. The group I was playing with insisted we move all our stuff down there because of the lights.

>>718217448
It's pretty good, enemies can only attack from a single direction and there are source of water inside the main building. Lots of space to build.
Though it can be a bit of a schlep to get to most locations. I often find it easier to just jump pack down the Reactors elevator and use the waterways to get to Offices rather than using the dedicated tram right next to the base. But by this point you would be able to set up a few dedicated teleporters.

>>718217448
It's nice. It's probably the most house-like area in the game, so I enjoy the separate kitchen, living space and bathroom, then you have upstairs for storage, benches and gardens. Takes a bit of cable management trickery to keep the space looking clean though.

>>718217580
Power services. It's pretty much the start of reactors where you take the tram from office.

I also forgot my Triarii bobblehead, but moved him into the table.

Can anyone shine a light on the chronology and basically what happened at hydroplant before we arrive ?
What I understand is that that the GK went there to go to the reactors and closed the way. Now:

- What is the normal way to get to the reactors/power services and how did they get there themselves ? I doesn't seem like they used the spillway..
- How exactly did they block the way ?
- I gather that by blocking the way they flooded the area just before hydro, that we empty to get to the dam. But were the robotics labs already flooded or did WE do that ?

Basically I get the gist of it, but the specifics are pretty unclear to me...

>>718217810
When we flooded Hydro, we fucked up a lot of shit
The darkwater fish was also not in the reservoir until we let him out at the end of the Security sector
Dr. Cahn mentions that he saw "something" swimming in the water we drain into Hydro

>>718217810
>What is the normal way to get to the reactors/power services and how did they get there themselves ? I doesn't seem like they used the spillway..
Just the tram most likely, and probably a road leading there, it's fairly far away from the rest of the facility.
>How exactly did they block the way?
Enabling lockdown, closing gates and shutting down pumps. I think they were also containing IS-0023 until we released the flood.
>But were the robotics labs already flooded or did WE do that?
It was already the case, either caused by the fighting or IS-0023 getting released, as there's an email mentioning very loud rumbling near robotics.

And what even are those buildings ? They seem to be on the same level as the entrance of Neutrino Detector but are nowhere to be seen on the sector map. Whatever happened here ?

How am I supposed to figure out how much damage stuff actually does without installing that gaudy Damage Numbers mod? Not even the wiki will explain, for example, how much damage the Thresher does with regular discs vs lodestone vs plasma. In general the game needs to describe more shit, only by seeing someone mention in the AF discord did I realize a good way to get scrap metal is trading for anvils and scrapping them because they give 20 scrap metal, despite looking at the scrap output in the UI just showing an unnumbered scrap metal icon.

>>718215626
>IS-1057 is now brown
ha

>>718225327
I never really had any issues in Canaan because I wasn't dedicated melee. Magbow deals great damage and I figured you'd have it by then. Mugnades make any fight before Hydro a joke if you land them right, it's just that making them is tedious.

Frosty the snowman DLC confirmed

Here I go dying again.

>>718225457
I haven't finished the game yet but from the vague spoilers I've read it doesn't seem like continuing after the end of the game will make sense. Do you think it'd work better to introduce mid-playthrough expansions?

>>718225271
Shield + lightning spear beats this entire game, with upgrades and 1.0 the game is even easier.

>>718225498
the ending is supreme sequel bait

I want to have sex with the unlost sister's voice.

>>718225495
Does the electro thrower not work on those trees? I had the laser pistol which worked to break them. Also, stealth goes a long way for melee in Canaan.

>>718225618
I didn't even think that they were damageable. I just ran into in by accident.

>>718225669
You're gonna wanna break those trees. They give hexwood, which you can use to make a set to stop light bleeding with 2 pieces, all bleeding with a full set.

>>718225618
>Does the electro thrower not work on those trees?
It does work, you just gotta get uncomfortably close.

>>718225271
Almost every enemy in Canaan can be safely stealth killed if you're patient.

Alright, this makes things easier.

>>718226279
Or just sprint attack with a heavy weapon, so long as you aim for the head.

>>718225939
And the vaccum? Pretty sure it outranges them

>>718226341
That too, but you'll almost certainly take chip damage and it can be tricky to move around if you alert 5 guys at the same time.

>>718225205
True.

So what's the deal with the Furniture Store anteverse? Are those Love Potion zombies? Because I'm pretty sure that the anteverse the Love Potion was discovered in is different than that Furniture Store anteverse.

>>718226314
Well this was a bit anticlimactic. If I didn't die the first time, I would have probably been able to get through this in one go. Didn't even need to break the lodestone since the swamp trolls drop its shards.

>>718226871
If you were taking out swamp trolls then you were pretty much there anyway. Did you run into the witch?

>>718225495
bro, your laser pistol? 3 or 4 shots aimed at it's roots will kill them

>>718227003
I headed for the witch right after I met the fisherman. That's how I got the loadstone in the first place.

>>718226796
Anteverse 23 is theorized by Manse to be a future Earth where IS-0102 caused an outbreak.
In the same anteverse you can find an email talking about other anteverse GATE staff who aren't necessarily aware of the same IS than the one in Anteverse 1.
Ultimately it means that GATE released the love potion, either on purpose or by accident (say because they were raided by the Order and some retard let out the zombies loose in one of the GATE facility which eventually found a way out), and it caused the end of the world.

>>718227064
For some reason I took that to mean you didn't even get the lodestone.

You can powerlevel Throwing by just tossing a singular net over at your feet over and over again in your downtime if you're desperate
and you might as well get yellow encumbrance to crouch-walk and level strength while you're at it
I did that for a while until I realized how fucking stupid it is to try and max everything out and went back to actually playing the game but level 10 throwing is decent at least for the throwing arc it shows you

>>718227664
I carry full barrels of water around with me to level strength and throw nets at my feet when waiting on friends to get ready to leave the base again. Gives me something to do when cooking soups and watering plants.

How do you fish in Canaan? Is there some electrically resistant version of the fishing rod?

>>718229148
Find a couch, you'll eventually find a crafting recipe to make your own bed (which require a couch).
The game save automatically when you quit.

>>718229148
>how do I sleep
Find a couch for now. There is one past the data farm.
>and save
It's automatic.

>>718229213
Keep talking to the fisherman.

>>718229213
Yeah, you need the Insulated Rod, you'll get the crafting recipe by exhaustign the dialogues with the fisherman.

Is this game fun/doable solo? All the streamers seem to play in group or something and I don't want that.

>>718230126
yeah, though you might up the XP gain a bit to compensate for having to do everything yourself since you're not specializing in one thing and doing a ton of that one thing
still, even without doing that it's perfectly soloable and maybe even more fun that way since the game is extremely lore-heavy and most friend groups just rush through the game without reading and understanding anything and then wonder why the game is so confusing

>>718231823
There's several different eels that can be caught at different times of the day (can be caught at any time during their respective period of the day or night). The chances are about the same anywhere else in the game, but rng does like to do its thing.

Also, exhaust dialogue from the fisherman to get a new rod blueprint specifically for catching eels.

I this the FOMO flavor of the month general?

Can I play on the easiest settings with all the possible bonuses and helps, without ruining anything plot-wise or exploration-wise?
I'm asking because I'm a fucking retard that gets anxious very often when playing survival crafting games, I need high resources and food at all times or I go into panic mode, stop playing and then uninstall.
But this game is special, I like it a lot.

>>718232723
It’s specifically indie trash fomo fotm.

>>718232746
You can start the game on easy with all that and then change the difficulty and all sandbox settings at any point.

I was making Evil Kinevil jumps yesterday with the large ramps and the forklift which seemingly goes faster than the cart

>>718232723
>FOMO
It's singleplayer, multiplayer optional

>>718232373
Once you get into the game's logic for ressource acquiring and progression it allows you to focus on exploration

>>718232723
This has been a flavor of the last couple years, it's $34 right now and honestly worth every penny.

You like Half-Life 1? What if you perfectly fit in some survival elements into it? That's Abiotic Factor, it has a story, voice acting, and everything.

>>718232746
Ressource is abondant and the game in general banks on you remembering the shortcuts and ressources locations ressources in portal worlds reset so for instance you get infinite salt from the first one in flathill. Just increase the xp rate in the settings, which you can modify mid game

What's the best way to farm Carbon other than doing Train every so often? Feels like I always need more.

>Can actually capture those floating whisps with a test tube
The tooltip specifically shows an erlenmeyer like container, the test tube is way smaller. How the fuck

So since we know that Anteverses can not only be just parallel to our dimension, but they may also be OUR dimension but just in different points of time, could it be that Canaan is the origin of the Order? Since the Order Inquisitor that was sent to get the wayward Lodestone is also the one that prompted Niketas to found Canaan and the religion surrounding the Lodestone that fell into the area, thus creating a time loop where the Order essentially creates itself?

I'm playing solo and picked slow learner should I just restart? I just made the first hacking device.
Can I miss out on recipes or are the penalties just for stuff made by others in multiplayer? I feel like I pick up a lot of stuff that says might give an idea but never get a recipe.

>>718233057
>You like Half-Life 1?
No

>>718233393
Restart, slow learner is shite. For recipes in mp you can probably share by grabbing the same components, I know there's a late game machine to share

>>718233598
Then don't buy it

>The Night Realm
>Look inside
>It's evening

Alright well good to know there's enough freedom to do things that you can accidentally skip early content.

>>718232373
It changes slowly as you play but it's mostly the same. Collect a bunch of stuff > progress your equipment > unlock new area > unlock short cuts > repeat. If you don't like the aesthetics and the gameplay now then no, it doesn't get better.

>>718233393
>I'm playing solo and picked slow learner
Nigga what is you doing? Restart.

>>718233393
There is a respec but it involves you resetting all of your skills to level 3. By the time I found it I had lots skills level 10-15 and wasn't going to basically cut off all my development so I've just been powering along despite my bad job/trait choices and I'm gonna just be smarter on a second playthrough.

If you want to know how to respec, when you get to Cascade Labs and reach the containment blocks with the big lift elevator one of the cells on the upper levels will be open and a dazed scientist will be sitting near it. Inside is a doorframe that if you walk through you respec, but like I said all your skills are gonna get kneecapped.

As for learning recipes it's wonky but I think you have to pick up a specific ingredient in a recipe before it unlocks, and usually it is the ingredient that would be considered "newest" I guess. You should also make a point to craft one of everything that is available even if you aren't too interested in using it because sometimes those are going to chain into unlocking another recipe that uses what you crafted as an ingredient. There are also recipes I have missed out on simply because I haven't fucked around with fishing, as some recipes require the ingredients you get from butchering various fish. There are also recipes that you can only learn by interacting with stuff in the environment. A lot of them are pretty obvious, like the pot of solder next to the Blacksmith that gives you the recipe for making solder (which you need to progress) or various big glowy things that are just asking for attention. There is a recipe I missed completely until poking around on the wiki, in either the lower Cascade Labs or the upper Adjustment Wing (can't remember) there is a whiteboard that if you interact with it you get a recipe for a good backpack.

>>718233393
This >>718233740
But also
>I feel like I pick up a lot of stuff that says might give an idea but never get a recipe.
I think how it works is each item won't necessarily give you a new recipe, you have to pick up multiple things, the ideas are forming in your scientist's head but aren't done until you've found the last piece.

So /v/, how did YOU do the laser?
Felt like a bit of a genius putting a reflector on a ramp to aim it directly in

>>718233927
He's probably played RPGs where you hit level cap 70% of the way through the game, and doesn't want to max out his character too quickly.

>>718234121

>>718234121

BRAVO KOJIMA

GOOD STUFF

Where are foods in the office area I already visited the cafetria and the kitchen but there weren't much food should I cook aliens

>>718235431
yes

later you'll get the ability to make soups, one can of peas plus salt gives you your full hunger meter back on its own, and a soup of monster parts gives you even more

>>718234785
Saar...

>>718233181
Villagers and eventually you will start getting it in crates to help upkeep, but really you are limited by train resets

>>718235367
seems very suboptimal in terms of resources to do it like that so nah

Did they change the spawns and how hard some enemies hit? Playing on mostly default (increased stack size and 1.5 exp) and it seems like things are suddenly kicking my ass way more than what they were. I'm mostly wearing Forge gear right now and it was in both my single and my multi session.

Holy shit headshots really make a difference. Fuck me

>>718234121
Energy pistol

>>718235991
I don't get t he hyper around it

First time playing and I picked the negative traits where I'm more hungry and more thirsty
did I fuck up? I'm very hungry rn

>>718209351
your quill rifle bro?

>>718236459
Is the quill spear worth it over the rifle? It doesn't look as cool :(

>>718236279
I actually barely used it except for the reaper, it's just the most convenient way to complete the "puzzle" to open Rise. But most people on a first playthrough won't know that you can craft it shortly after labs.

>>718236447
Not really, Fishing minigame is kinda ass but extremely risk free food. You can also cook alien parts for more hunger. Water just takes some extra time to baby sit making it because it boils at a 4 tainted to 1 pure ratio, so you need 4 cooking pots to make 1000ml of water. Once you get level 4 cooking you get soups, which are extremely cost effective hunger and thirst. Look up some soup recipes and you can combat your debuffs with the soups that slow hunger and thirst for a time.

I played modded with better guns and no fishing minigame and no leyak

>>718236840
Leylak is just an annoyance just like the Power Leech event.

>>718236497
It fires 5 shots immediately instead of 1, it's strong.

>mfw finishing intrados and praetorium in one go
God, there's been more combat in this part of the game than the rest of it combined even if you are basically doomguy at this point. Still feel like the gun ammo economy is fucked for anything that isn't the shotguns

>enter containment blocks
>see an IS cell that doesn't appear to have a door of any kind.
>Or anything in it.
>step inside.
>should have worn brown pants that day.

>>718236279
it's a ranged weapon that does acceptable damage and takes up no durability or ammo
wouldnt use it most things stronger than order troops, but it's very efficient. i used it to kill the yeti quite easily.

>>718203000
nice trips

XP rates in the start were pretty ok but holy fuck why do they plummet to 0 or single digits midgame already?

>>718209351
> Shotgun is kinda shit
what nonsense is this? You get a lot of ammo, works great on nearly any order guy and even punks witches and that is my experience before 1.0 made it upgradeable and not needing the stupid arms
firearms are good vs humanoids, but they are not made equal. Shotgun and magnum are bueno tier, sniper is not amazing except maybe 2 areas, famas is dogshit. Gate rifle is nice, but you unlock it too late and its actually not as good as it ought to against the new and even tankier gatekeepers.
>>718227787

Isn't that just a spooky noise room?

Do these devs hate guns? You need an obnoxious item just to use smgs and then ammo is so fucking rare you can't use guns anyway.

>>718237618
I see. I've been crutching hard on mugnades for stronger enemies desu. The yeti got stuck behind a wall and I chuck a handful of mugnades over it and killed it lmfao.

He only seems to appear when inventory slot sare full or close to full.
Or weight capacity is maxed.

>>718238782
It's so spoopy it made me poopy.

Finally finished it. It was great, until Fragments. Let's take away player's enhanced mobility! Let's make gravity cube, the thing that it either always equipped or permanently on the hotbar, a deathtrap. What could possibly go wrong!
Still, great game, I don't have a lot of survival-crafting-bullshit experience but this was probably the best of all and a great example of Early Access.
I just wish guns were better. I mean fuck, we got Spectre M4 with pathetic 18 rounds magazine for crying out loud! Come on! And Glock with 10-12 rounds mag size? Plz.
Gib more. In like a year or so. Me pay.

Order guns you can upgrage to remove the lock and later arms-slot armor will take care of the biometric lock, but GK guns will still require a separate trinket bypass the lock. Also upgrading some guns makes them genuinely shit.

You get mystagogue armor around fragments and it will legitimately kill you using it in there, even if you unequip it the set effects takes time to wear off
