Thread 720050721

Just got here. Is this "the" spot for bases? Is there any fast way to move all my shit over? Does it connect well to other areas like the default starting area?

>>720050721 (OP)
the best stop is the cafeteria, followed by the roof above the data center

>>720050992
>the best stop is the cafeteria
By the fountain, right? That's where I am now because it's so centrally located, but I've heard that it's too exposed for assaults that happen later on.

>>720051080
the area where you start, but you can build in the open area next to the fountain too

>>720051080
>but I've heard that it's too exposed for assaults that happen later on
there's no such thing, you just build walls and turrets
assaults aren't that common and frankly, they're never dangerous
best spot for efficiency is (in my opinion) the corner section near to the torii portal
you're by all the trams, labs, sec, offices and later on you'll be able to move to distant areas via faster means anyway
ultimately though, just make your base wherever you want, I'd focus on where you want to be aesthetically more than what you feel is efficient

Nah fpwp, cafeteria is lame, security room is where all the cool people go and turn it into a cool command center for the rest of the facility.

>>720052515
>I'd focus on where you want to be aesthetically more than what you feel is efficient
I just don't want to move a all my shit since you can't package containers with everything in them.

>>720052940
just to show where I'm talking about, this was my first base
in my opinion it is probably the most convenient location for the entire game
only on my second playthrough did i keep a minimal offices base until i got to the section i wanted to make my permanent one
i will say you will eventually get tools that make it much easier to move around while carrying large amounts of stuff

Is this game friendslop or can it be played solo?

>>720053208
>i will say you will eventually get tools that make it much easier to move around while carrying large amounts of stuff
How much later? I might just keep my slapdash starting area base until I can move somewhere I think looks cool.

This looks like the game my friends and I have been looking for. is this actually as good as everyone says?

>>720053368
I started playing with my friends but wrangling them was too annoying so I'm playing solo now. Carrying shit alone and not being able to do goofy shit together sucks, but being able to explore at your own pace and take your reading things if you want to is great.

>>720053396
you'll get the cart in that pic in labs, you can pretty much get it whenever you want at this point
it has an inventory and obviously you won't move slowly when driving it so you can load up on stuff

>>720053368
i think it's more fun solo, definitely for a first playthrough

>>720053558
Oh, you mean that cart. I had 4 capacitors and made the shock cannon thing which sucks instead of a hotwire kit, but I'll make that next. I just didn't think it'd be able to move through areas easily since it's so bulky.

>>720053368
I played the vast majority of the game solo and it was great. It's the one survival game I've played that doesn't feel like complete shit solo. The map and environment carries the game hard.

>>720053640
it's very fast and turns on a dime
frankly, the handling is so responsive it takes some getting used to, but it is by far the fastest way of moving around between offices and labs

>>720050721 (OP)
The wife and I have really enjoyed fucking around at the pool.

>>720053795
hot

>>720053758
I might just stay where I am in the "main" area right by the fountain because I'm lazy. Or I might move to the fish tanks in the lab because I like fish tanks.

how to progress in this game

i have gone as far as get to the attic guy and the fork lift guy i gave ork lift ugy the bandage and i cant progress any further ive been to every inch of the place and cant find anything ive killed robots aswell in the night to get some of their parts but nothing much to do besides this

is that all the content

do i need dlc

>>720057974
Did you make the hacking tool from the parts you get from security bots?

>>720057974
from where you found grayson (fork lift guy) turn right towards the robot
walk past the robot and go up the maintenance lift
you are maybe 5% through the game, if that

>>720058606
theres just a hole there and a closed gate

>>720058654
through the door, past the dumpster, up against the wall
if the lift isn't there, press the button to call it

>>720058885
that door is closed

>>720058885
right, hold on
forgot that isn't open yet
head up to level 2 office sector (the floor with the pool) and find this area
you'll need to make another energy brick to open the door

Finished the game a couple days ago. Enjoyed it, but wasn't as keen on post lab areas due to enemies. Plus, the lab was just a nice area full of cool shit to read about and collect. Didn't care for the ending either, nor the last boss.
Also glad that Manse isn't the typical evil guy. I kept expecting some record or email of him being all evil. Was nice finding record and emails of him being concerned over dangerous shit and staff safety.

>>720061161
I'm at the labs now. How much game is left?

>>720062493
Still a quite good bit to go. The game is huge.

>>720063034
Like half? 1/3?

>>720063741
Maybe half way or approaching it? I'm really not sure because areas vary in size, and I'd often stop to reorganize my base, craft a lot of new shit, and in the labs I moved my entire base there.

>>720050721 (OP)
the spot is where you want it to be since you'll soon get access to personal teleporters. Easiest way to transport everything is to build carts and throw everything in them.

>>720063938
>and in the labs I moved my entire base there.
To the fishtank area? How did you find it in terms of access to other areas?

>>720063741
The latter

>>720064295
You have tram access back to the office tram hub

>>720064315
Damn.

Honestly the Assaults are really quite pitiful so might as well just create a aesthetic base..

Its where my base is set up yeah. You just spent a lot of time in this area and the adjacent areas that it just werkz.
And the windows give you quick access to a vehicle recall (and a perfect place to take a shit).

>>720050721 (OP)

the office sector (i.e. the starting sector) has a shortcut to every other sector, the game is designed with the assumption you'll set up shop there
anywhere else is going to be a pain in the ass comparatively

>>720065276
>anywhere else is going to be a pain in the ass comparatively
nah, that's what telemugs and later pads are for.

>>720050721 (OP)
I moved my base to the topside city area with all the giants patrolling around

You know what I like? Seeing NPCs move to new sectors.
Makes it feel a little more like you're not the only one trying to escape.

>>720065401
This. I kept my old crafting station in the office security room so I could mug teleport there. Just wish you could name them so tell which is which.

>>720061161
i was disappointed that they made it too obvious that Cahn was literally the devil incarnate. you can easily figure this out after labs, and the recording in Manse's quarters that spells it out clearly.

except as a player you can't do anything about it, there's no reward for putting the pieces together. you're not given any alternative choice to not go along with Cahn's plans. so once you figure it out you just have to play the rest of the game knowing the ending is gonna be bad

>>720067803
>can't build a dehumidifer to get flathill fogless
should have given us more options to make the portal worlds our home especially given we'll probably be staying in one post ending

For me, it's the submarine docks

>>720050992
I really liked the building in hydro that had fountain in the middle. It was also close to almost everything cause you could just fly to the teleport pipes with jetpack.

NTA but this sounds impressive. most survivalslop pretty much depends on friends to get past the typical boring resource management and base building

>>720050721 (OP)
Any waifus in this game? yes I am coomerbrain now answer my question

>>720068593
>Just wish you could name them so tell which is which
you can rename your benches and the mugs will reflect that.

>>720070920
There is one spooky stalker one. Its monster girl though.

>>720071303
Oh! Well shit, that's handy, thanks.

>The best place is...
Is where most of the tram cars are, the things you use to fast travel. It's not a choice or opinion it's a fact, a fact of design. It's cute that you can build "anywhere", but you also willingly shooting yourself in the foot, it is what it is.

>>720072292
Pipes are faster than trams! Hydro is the best place!

>>720072292
Teleportation is faster than any tram.

>>720072380
You get the by trams in a second, and trams get you to places where pipes don't. Fountain is clearly a fire link shrine and there is no discussion about it.

>>720072292
by the time you get to reactors you can build wherever you want because you have access to teleporter pads
my experience with making my base in hydro is thus:
>built a minimal base in offices
>moving what I had from offices to hydro wasn't that bad, I just used 2 crafting benches with 2 personal teleporters and moved between them
>in hydro for a long time so it's more convenient
>rarely need to go back to offices, manu or sec but i still have my personal TP for that
>reactors is just a short jump down to the docks
>once reaching reactors I can build as many TP pads as I want and go anywhere instantly
>base location is no longer relevant
>trams outdated and slow compared to TP pads
>base location is now comfier

>>720070643
only audible from the platform with the spillway to reactors
the security bots fighting the giant trapped in the room on the upper level on the other hand...

game should have had scp-containments in every area desu. reactors area was boring as hell even with a jetpack and gravity cube to maneuver.
also the locked chests were never worth it (outside of runic chests and by that point in the game who even needed what they had)

basically the wonder starting wearing off by hydroplant, and it got worse from there.

one of the my favorite things in the difference in the rats. the first one you meet runs away. by the time you get to the sappers they are just balls out insane screaming at you while launching rockets.

>>720073843
the scp stuff peaks in labs and coincidentally so does the game

>>720073843
Labs were certainly the best part of the game. I wish security would have been longer too.

>>720070685
You can also manually tweak all the settings related to the survival mechanics.

>>720071353
booo

>>720050721 (OP)
This game looks cool, I wish survival and base building stuff didn't bore me so much.

>>720076415
I'm in the same camp, I don't really care much about crafting survival games but this and the forest I actually enjoyed. I think it works well as a single player experience, its a lot like half-life 1.
