>>>/vg/536441693
Made an /afg/ if anyone is interested. Threads have been pretty popular here the past couple of.

when does this game become fun?

so far its just a chore simulator

>>718897014
the survival-craft genre might not be for you

>>718897159
>survival
when does this happen?
the game is less dangerous than valheim but somehow more grindy

>>718897359
What do you have to grind for?

>>718897593
you have to farm shit to make shit?
are you even playing the game?

Has anyone been to that island at the very very top of the mycofields with the lava waterfall, I'm talking straight up above you suspended like 500 feet, I kinda want to get up there legitimately but I don't think you can

>>718897359
Manufacturing is a step up in difficulty after Office which is far too easy. After that it’s not hard until after Security.
Honestly I’d recommend to anyone that they either buff enemy damage or enemy health, even apocalyptic is too easy.
Especially if you use sprint attacks. Shits so fucking busted for far too long.

>>718897773
>you have to get things to craft with in a survival-craft
Please, be more specific with your complaints. Tou just described the whole genre. Like, god forbid you need to get "grind" trees for wood in minecraft. What specifically grinded your gears(heheh)?
The actual requirements to progress are not that much. You need *a* energy brick that you can get from smashing a pc and litter. You need *a* tram key to acces the portal in the mines. You need 3 items to repair the pipes, but you only need 1 of each, and you get each of those by trading blacksmish a single item.
The first time a roadblock need more than 1 of anything specific is halfway through the game to open up the control center in labs(you need 4 of something)

Are (You) playing the same game? Because it doesnt sound like it.

>>718898051
>labs was as easy as manufacturing
trying to do control center the intended way was one of the most shit gaming experiences Ive ever had.

>>718899971
That area right before unlocking Security? I just one-hit whacked every regular grunt there and shotgunned the rest.
The ONLY struggle there was that sniper/turret combo and I just ran and whacked those dipshits with a serum my veins.

>>718897867
Might be possible with the jet pack, grav cube, and excursion suit

>>718900185
you can also just stack some desks to sneak up behind them
later on I stacked 3 L-desks in a staircase, that worked much better than pic related

>>718899971
I always die at least twice during that. Next time I'm taking thick-skinned, fuck wounds.
>>718900185
>I just ran and whacked those dipshits with a serum my veins.
Now that you mention it, it would've been super cool if higher levels of first aid let you make buff items instead of it being so dedicated to helping other players.

>>718898352
That anon has been trolling and shit posting in threads for a while now, complaining of grindy survival/crafting elements while having clearly not played the game. Which is weird because the threads haven't even been up consistently so he must be looking for them actively.

>>718902253
Probably has them highlighted through the filter system

Swim lessons!

I just reached Shadowgate. Will I be able to find black oil here?

>>718904592
You can fish in the Night Realm for it, the fish there gives that when butchered.

>>718905710
You get ~1 per 10 inkfish, and that's with that increased butcher item chance salad.

What is this?

is there a trick to getting a ramp to line up perfectly with a surface? It seems like you can't make a continous ramp and combining a bridge and ramp makes a really long one

>>718906315
The drop rate shouldn't be that low, I caught 6 and got all 4. I usually get them every other fish at worst, maybe every third.

>>718906338
A video game.

>>718906338

valheim is much more grindy fuck you

>>718906338
You're in Black Mesa but you're not Gordon Freeman in an HEV suit with a crowbar.
You're one of those scientists that asks Gordon if he knows who ate all the donuts.

I heard there's a robot for Kylie in the botanical section, anyone got pointers to where it is?

i think i have a collecting problem

>>718906425
>The drop rate shouldn't be that low
But it is. Just caught 10 more. Here is the result.

can you play this game solo?

>>718910338
Yes.

stupid ass game won't drop me the order shotgunner and medic armor pieces. i guess this is all i have to do now that i've beaten the game.

>>718909954
Weird, I hardly get night essences but I get regular black oils. I just got like 3 more off of 7 fish.

>>718909954
You either have the worst luck in the world or it's become bugged since I last played.

>>718910545
How do you tame this thing? I found it near the cloud reactor and I think it's cute.

>>718910545
Aren't those obtained in the Praetorium? Like, they're not dropped, but found in a locker room?

I Don't like crafting games

Sadly I've finished the game, more or less. Apparently only have two more achievements to get, and they're not too hard. It was fun to be in these threads, anons.

Please please PLEASE add an explosive grinder disc.

>>718906576
>this is the one man who knows everything

>>718915210
Aren't the plasma discs supposed to explode?

With how expensive this one is to make I fully expect it to oneshot anything but a tarasque/yeti

>>718915351
lol
lmao

>>718915351
>"But if you throw this grenade, we will both surely die" said the Gatekeeper
>"lol", said the GATE scientist, "lmao"

Doing night time no outlet run here. After the complete and drawn out suffering that was labs and security (my fault for not getting onto soups and snag vines sooner), am finally at hydroplant and can now think about a proper base with no enemy spawns. The inside should make for some comfy decorating, and I'll finally get to stop thinking about power so much once I have lasers.

>>718910380
is it any good solo?

>>718916345
See >>718910380
Might be worth tweaking world values a little to ease the experience, but you won't have any real issues with default settings.

>>718916345
it's aweful solo. I tried it since I got it free on PS+ last month. Went through tutorital.... then I tried hosting a room.

Did a few hours of dissemble and make new shit... then I quit because it was so boring.

>>718915831
nice, was thinking of basing there sometime

>>718916565
Disassembling what? You can't even disassemble very much of anything early on. Unless you mean packaging, I suppose.

>>718916565
>tfw the crafting game is exactly as advertised
Sorry, sonykek. Was there not enough cutscenes for you? Or is crafting only fun when it involves fauxkémon?

>>718897359
There is no way in hell you've played both games if you think AF is more grindy than Valheim. That is factually false. Wood alone takes more time than all AF's resources combined. And then factoring metals? Get right the fuck out.

>>718917165
He just sat there in the cafeteria crafting energy bricks for hours instead of putting one in the door to the atrium and actually exploring and trying to progress..

>>718909954
>freezer on top of fridge
Good space saver, I should have done that.

>>718897359
the grind of valheim after i tried to find something to take up my time killed my soul. imagine making the default world setting prevent you from teleporting with ore lmao

Is Canaan supposed to be ridiculously easy? The energy pistol with crystal charm made everything a joke

>>718918579
>Bunch of villagers wearing normal cloth carrying farming tools
>Vs witch with laser weapons wearing alien alloy armor
To be fair, they CAN really fuck you up if one sneaks up on you and gets like two hits in. That and them shedding their bodies to float menacingly towards you was pretty metal.

So by giving nibbles the cheese I unlocked the good ending right?

>>718918579
If you go in somewhat prepared, yeah. You're fighting random bumpkins that have axes, pitchforks, and crossbows.

If you aren't prepared though, it's the first place you would often encounter severe bleeding as a constant threat. Add to it their ability to call for reinforcements, carry you with pitchforks, and just generally swarm you. They aren't hard, but even a couple hits from them can make things spiral out of control.

>>718918750
The goudanding

>>718918750
The anomalous mice are coming.

>>718910338
It's completely playable solo, the only downside is that you have to be one to carry all the loot back to your base and since inventory space is limited so you have to take multiple trips back and forth to loot everything important when if you're playing multiplayer you could just send someone else to carry the loot back while you continue to explore.

so are security bots supposed to respawn? i kinda found it odd that i could camp the bot near silo 3 for parts

>>718919101
Yes. And yes you need the CPU cores and oil for a lot of shit later on.

>>718917865
The problem with Val's teleporters is, you have access to them right away, and this game is supposed to have sailing. If not for the metal ban, you'd barely ever need to set foot on a ship. It's the shittiest fix in the world to try and anchor you to one place and not just exist on all islands with an insta-teleport to every location.

>>718918714
>them shedding their bodies to float menacingly towards you
...huh?

>>718911269
net 'em til they submit

What the fuck woke me, is it that knock off Leyak or am I getting fucked with by another monster. Area is clear, couldn't find shit.
>>718918818
>>718918851
I'll brie careful then, at least I could make one NPC happy in this game.
>>718919136
Where do the 2nd tier robots spawn? I always get the two in labs but I feel like there should be more im forgetting that aren't "far" away

Pic didnt post

>>718920195
Way later in containment, don't worry about them right now.

>>718920289
Oh wow you are way later. Pardon me, yeah, there's one in the break area of containment, one in a lab upstairs, and one outside that area with all the turret guns.

>>718920370
Yea I end up needing a lot of cores from them, swimming in cores from all other bots though. I forgot the turret area, guess ill see if I can find a quick way there as well. Otherwise I might plop a teleporter pad somewhere just for core farming

>>718920174
>Not putting your toilet right in front of the blacksmith
Now both him and Grayson can watch you shit.

>>718896984 (OP)
>Abiotic Factor

I'm at the part of the game where I have to fight the Tarasque for its' machine juice.
Any advice? Tips? I'm in the FORGE Armor and feel grossly underprepared for such a fight.

>>718922362
When it' staggered, hit it as much as possible in the glowing red area under it's carapace. It's weak to electricity, so the electro-thrower is recommended.

>>718922362
electro nades
Im on apocalyptic difficulty and each nade will stun him. Aim for his little tummy arms and itll blow up on contact. Then I just ran and stabbed his back area that becomes exposed when he's stunned with my electric spear. He didnt get a single hit off the whole fight.
He did curb stomp me pretty good once, but then I decided to just craft a bunch of grenades and have at him. Bring 10 or so just to be on the safe side.

>>718921964
I prefer having the Blacksmith watching me sleep, Gayson is already there, loitering at the toilet.

>>718922362
Hit (or preferably shoot) the tentacle nips, the fight is actually really easy if you do that.

>>718922362
Bring some tesla towers.

Lads what are some other good games similair to this, for example I enjoyed this, raft, valheim to name a few at random

>>718923573
This one and grounded are about the only "recent" survival games I enjoyed. Enshrouded also looked interesting but can't tell much because I only played an hour or two of that.

>>718923750
I downloaded grounded already yeah, I'll check out enshrouded also thank you

I'm bed bound for a while and would like grindy games like these to fill my time. Anything grindy if anyone has any suggestions

Okay, I just got to the part where you need 4 Leyak Essences to unlock a door and the game just gave me an Xray gun, do I seriously just have to fuck around the map until the Leyak finds me to get enough essences to unlock the door?
Are there no other new side area to go through? Do I just go back and farm the soldiers for ammo while I wait for the Leyak to spawn?

I was kind of hoping there would be something inside the massive containment vault I spent the past 15 hours trying to get into. Feel like I shoulda been paying attention because all that was in there was a backdoor to security. Whats even the point of it? Just a massive air lock? So far the only thing it seems to have successfully contained are the employees that work there because shits all fucked up on both sides of that big bitch.

>>718925316
the eyeball things can be planted and their fruit forces leyak spawns if youre already explored out

>>718925316
Have you fought the miniboss in the mines and unlocked the worm trader?

>>718923573
Just survival games? Palworld, Subnautica, State of Decay (it's a little different, but good)

>>718896984 (OP)
I have open world survival craft fatigue, same as anyone else
but I really like the look of this game, one thing that worries me is; how easy is it to access firearms? If I play solo will I be using a scalpel in melee for 3 hours until I "level up" or are guns/ammo easy to come by?

>>718923573
Grounded and V Rising are my top pick.
Grounded's combat is a bit harder since you're expected to perfect parry during fights and manage your stamina bar, especially against bosses, and there's a huge difficulty spike once you reach the second half of the game.
V Rising is great if you enjoy having a lot of boss fights ins your survival crafting game.

are there any point in the game where you decided to change the location of your base?
i've been hanging around the starting area for maybe 25 hours and so far every progress i made in the map just leads back to the start.
the furthest i went is finding that one portal that leads to some building full of zombies that spawn close to you all time.

>>718926043
the progression is really slow
youre kinda stuck with kitchen knives and a crossbow made from rulers and rubber bands for a while
>>718926275
water tanks can be real nice to have near your base, and so are vehicle recalls.

>>718926043
>open world survival craft
Its more survival horror craft. The world is far from open. You cant just load up and start sandboxing.

>>718896984 (OP)
when can I expect to find canisters?
I'm in the labs right now trying to explore more, and have got past one batch of turrets through the security block.

>>718927198
You're supposed to salvage fire extinguishers.

Moving Box hate
FUCK OUTTA MY WAY

>>718927525
thanks, I had a feeling I was overlooking something.

anyone knows anything about 1.1?
this ending was kinda lame, i hope they don't stop story content here

they really need to add some way to move boxes filled with stuff desu

>>718925781
NTA, but you can fight the big larva?

>>718925781
>worm trader
pls explain.
>>718928828
yes, it takes a while thoughI thought it was futile at first, but if you look closely he has the core fragment on his head that will repair that stone monolith by the water.

>>718929992
craft the larva suit from the boss drop then go back and talk to the big worm with the blue dot on his head and he'll trade with you.

>>718925846
Thanks mate I love subanutica and state of decay

Any type of game is good this just came to mind as the best to lazily grind, I am bed bound for a while and have a lot of time to kill

>>718929992
>Didn't even take a full deatomizer charge
Wow.

>>718930396
guess I'll have to use up that figurine.
>>718930698
I was poking it with the heated spear and peppering it with the handgun so it took a good minute for me.

>>718930698
>deatomizer
I mean it's something you can do before even finishing manufacturing

>>718931284
its pretty easy for most people to miss if they don't fully explore that spot, you don't get railroaded into seeing it until way later when some portal in hydroplant drops you right there

>>718930396
>craft the larva suit from the boss drop
That needs a big larva figurine. The boss dropped only the regular and orange larva ones.

If you play multiplayer, it is grindy because the amount of resources you need to collect is multiplied for each person.
In solo, I never made more than a couple farms, but in mp we literally cannot keep food, ammo, syringes, etc. stockpiled at all.
Good luck if you want to use darts. Even grenades, which you should have excess shit for is in scarce supply because not all shits are going to get collected.
Never enough glass, never enough metal scrap, never ever enough rebar.
We sucked the neutrino room dry and still wanted for more.

>>718932523
the regular big guys drop the right figurine

the trader only sells yet another figurine and crab bait so whole thing is pretty pointless unless you want to collect everything

Playing on only night/day apparently makes the big leech a permanent fixture, then you visit reception after a week and get to see it release days worth of bolts all at once.

>>718933689
thats the stuff

Whats the security sector strat? Just book it and hope you go the right way?

>>718912357
legate one is in a chest, but aftr you visit praetorium, the medics and shotgunners start dropping their own armor with a 10% chance

The christmas tree is probably the comfiest decoration, damn.
>>718934712
flashlight on at all times, sneak, energy pistol once you can craft it, crystal armor completely cheeses the area

Can you build on the trams?

Green Hell is probably my peak of the survival craftan genre.

Try not to get spoiled on the ending requirements since it's one of the coolest endgame minigames I've seen. My only real complaint is that the DLC is very grindy, but it's stilfcl a bit more GH when you're done.

The Forest and Sons of the Forest to a lesser degree are both also pretty good

Oh yeah, those are also definitely a good choice

Got em' fuck yeah.

>>718941673
What the hell is that on the right?

does quality fall of a cliff after the first few zones or have they fixed it?

>>718941976
It's a cousin variant of Leyak, if you want to contain him you need to feed it ice cream.

And protip for anyone who might care, once you're through the portal at Shadowgate and you're in Far Garden on the floating island, before you enter turn around and go back to get this neat little shortcut. Because fuck having to trudge through that all the time, there's also another while you're in the Preatorium in the friendly rat's dorm.

>>718942417
>Him

>>718942463
I don't know man, Krasue sounds pretty masculine to me. Don't ask me to remember if some e-mail refers to it as she.

>>718897014
If it feels like you're endlessly taking care of "chores" it's because you fucked up your base and resource management
When the game starts you should be meticoulously hoarding everything you can get your grubby little scientist hands on, making as much storage as possible, hoarding all water coolers and large filing cabinets you can pick up, and taking cooking seriously by actually making soups instead of wasting time and resources on frying food.
When you don't fuck these things up, the gameplay look is actually perfectly tuned, you go out, loot, explore and progress, then when you're bags are full and your needs are low, you head back to base, store your findings and attend to your needs, I find I can do this between pounding bowls of soup and I get all my needs met before heading back out easily for another big exploration or resource gathering session.
Anyone finding survival to be a chore is not gathering enough resources, building the right set up, setting up enough storage and is being an idiot when it comes to food and water management, it's as simple as that.

>>718944056
>The Sister of the Unlost is there as a shade
Does that mean the reaper killed her at some point? She seems fine outside.

I finally worked out how to get in there and as far as I can tell all this place achieves is you unlocking an extra door to get invaded through if you set up in the canteen. I refused to unlock it, opting to use my personal teleport instead.

>>718944597
The sign indicates there is more in there that may be of use to you.

>>718922362
I tried the electro thrower and it did fuck all. In the end I tricked him to go onto the lower floor and used a ton of grinder ammo on him from above.

>>718944419
Speaking of shades, what's up with them? I saw a screaming one once in the Night Realm, and there was also one in Voussoir, but I only saw it once.

>>718944056
He's such an edgelord, as is the world he's from. It looks like a knock off Quake map. It's bizarre how nobody worked out that laser guns ruin him since the email hinting at it gives your guy the idea to build the gun in the first place. Then again it seems to run on a bunch of the material he's built from, so maybe that's why it works so well.

farming night essence sucks

>>718945936
>farm
You can get four off the ground each reset in the night realm. Add in the one every three minutes from energy pistoling away the reaper in three shots, and it's not too bad unless you want a lot of it immediately. Kinda like lodestones as well once you set up a bench to teleport to next to its spawn in Canaan

>>718944419
>>718944972
The shades seem to be past versions of possibly the souls of the people they're taken from.
Even Cahn is in there, in the exact same spot saying the exact same things as the "real" one.
Oh also he spawns during the blackout event and chases you down, causing the reaper to spawn when he touches you. Maybe it has something to do with him wearing that helmet.

>>718946584
>>718946921
I misread it the first time as Krause.

>>718944597

you can get an anvil much sooner if you realize how to get in at the start of the game, there is also a shortcut to the reactors through that pipe later on the game

Just got to the part with thee leyak. How do I get rid of this weird annoying piece of shit? I wish there was an option to turn it off

>>718948218
whip it out, your wife will stop stalking you and begin servicing

The thought of moving all my stuff to a new base was too stressful so I uninstalled

>>718948905
Use telepads or those hand-held teleporters, bud. It only took me like thirty-ish minutes to move all my crap from the hub to the reactor break room using them.

>>718948905
I just abandon my old bases and make new ones. Its like cool now I have multiple bases, but I never use the old ones.

>>718948218
If you hate it so much you can mod it out, but you'll get a permanent option to keep it contained later on. Which also requires farming. but yeah have fun. there's also a trinket that protects you from it

>>718949205
and by farming i meant like crop farming, not farming materials

>>718948905
I only moved once, right after I noticed the elevator in the data farm. Before that I tried to live in the gym, but having nightly security bot break ins wasn't fun.

>>718948905
Nigga it takes twenty minutes
Make a bench and some crates at your destination, and then just teleport back and forth dumping your big 30stack backpack without thinking. You can organize after everything's on location
>t.moving for the umpteenth time as we speak to the nice building in hydroplant with the glowing fountain

>>718897014
Honestly this is the only survival crafting game I've ever played where doing literally anything at all DIDN'T feel like a chore. I thought it was really good about that specifically.

>>718949291
Nice, I thought about moving my base here. Security is starting to feel cramped.

>>718948905
Not only do you start in the best zone to build your base, but later you get personal teleporters that make moving to literally anywhere trivial.

>>718949451
This and the Forest have been the only survival/crafting games I've actually enjoyed.
>>718936897
Is the forest sequel any good? I mostly enjoyed that game cause of the horror aspects and being story focused kinda like this game.

>>718948905
I'm not gonna lie dude just give yourself infinite weight with console commands and turn it off when you're done moving your base. I did the same thing, I tried it legit with the teleporters but I didn't want to spend that long just moving my base since I don't like doing back and forth tedium. Setting up the new base properly still took time but clearing out the old one took 5 minutes.

>>718941805
Krasue.
Mechanically works like Leyak, where he stalks you and tries to sneak up on you after you enter the residence area.
But he is limited to cold areas and while he stares at you, a bar appears at top of your screen and if he is able to stare at you long enough, you freeze as if you were struck by a slushie bomb.

I need some form of seed to open the way to Canaan, but I accidentally killed the plant grown from the one seed you get in the labs. I already have the essence from the edgelord version of Leyak in Security, where do I get one of these seeds?

I recall there being one of those snaggle wines in the manufacturing mines.

I had a pretty good time with it. If you're there for the horror and story, you'll probably enjoy yourself as well. The story's initial thrust is a bit weaker than trying to find your missing son, but you do have more real story segments in Sons iirc. The horror may take a knock since you're stronger than the first game with access to real firearms pretty quick, but you'll need them at night to help defend your tard helper and mutant gf who you should be nice to early on when you see her in the wild!!! from mutie raids.

I believe a snagvine seed respawns in both the Night Realm near the early on T shape coffins and somewhere in the lower part of Mycofields

Oh shit, I forgot about that place, thanks.

I could beat Valheim in a day. I have no idea what people are doing needing that much grind. Probably building pointless fuckhuge messes.

Conan Exiles is also pretty good for that too. But that's mainly because the devs overhauled the loot table so you don't have to spend much time farming/mining resources and can get most of it from just exploring. The only tedious part of the game is capturing NPC allies, but that makes sense since the entire end game revolves around it.

I might check out Enshrouded next since I heard the grind is minimal there too.

For me, this game been a ride and a horror game going complete blind solo. Love it, but i think having group of 4 and doing this - blind would be so fucking fun experience im sad i cant do it anymore.

bro your tesla and shock traps for infinite soda?

>>718952927
That was long before any of that.

>>718952504
I concur. And I can speak for Enshrouded being good as well. I actually enjoy it even more than Conan Exiles.

>>718952504
If you like base building, enshrouded has you covered there, pretty robust system. The combat is also pretty action oriented with each playstyle heavily built around melee, ranged or magic (skills can be reset relatively easily).

Not a massively grindy game for materials, but your primary source of progression is achieved through acquired npc's with quests/tasks, and those will build up like skyrim.

I'm using Forge armour, I'm fine.

Mystagogue armor is warming up to me just because no fall damage but I still think exor is king

I think part of what made abiotic not feel like a chore to me was the setting. Most survival crafting games share nearly identical settings and it's like fuck, I'm going to punch rocks and chop trees. I was so pleasantly surprised by the unique setting that it's the only one I can really recommend to people who don't typically enjoy survival crafting games.
