>I've been walking back and forth this whole time
>And found a door from Security to the Office
If only I had enough fucking material to create a big ass base in the office, just made that one little area and the lil room behind the security dude my office base. I'm too fucking lazy to upgrade all my old shit to new shit.

the trams need signs i keep forgetting which ones lead where

>>723297436
why not just make a sign?

>>723298251
it would be a pain in the ass

>All the areas lead back to the Office
I need to extend my main base in the plaza. I only got that tiny spot and room. As well as get rid of old shit and replace it with new shit but that's gonna take me forever.

>>723297436
>the trams need signs
they tell you where they go when you mouse over the button that recalls them they

>>723298479
meant to also say they're also color coded
purple = labs
yellow = hydroplant
etc.

>>723298479
i wish i could see all available stops

wait come back guys

>>723299174
there are no stops, they only go forward and backward between origin and destination.

>>723300930
whaat? i could've sworn they had multiple stops. goes to show how bad i am with the tram system

>>723301156
nah thats why every tram has forward and backward buttons. of course as you keep progressing and unlocking more shortcuts and other means of travel you won't use them as much anyway.

>>723301156
Some trams have slight pauses to open doors to go through, but there are no inbetween stations.

The only tram line with multiple stops is way later in the reactor area and that does not connect to office. You have to use the magic water pipe there to have a warp between it and office.

That game is a pure coop gem! My super friend and I, have finished it in 120 hours, and what a blast of laughing moments!

That's one of the best devs team! I wish I could better thanks them for all that great moments.

Can't wait for Abiotic Factor 2 !

>>723301705
Cease.

>>723298328
>>723299174
Honestly making a quick sign to throw down in front of the teams at the main depot to highlight which tram to take for what helped a lot. They're pretty easy to make.

>>723294956 (OP)
This game throws so much materials at you if you coop you should just build forward bases in every area. You could even fortify every single room as most of them have sockets and that might just be what the devs wanted, looking back at the stockpile we had in the end that just ended up unused. Could have made so many tesla coils everywhere.

Can I play this game solo?

>>723303906
yes, its arguably better solo
adjust the sandbox settings to your liking.

what would that even be

it's literally the hook png from dbd, they've overlayed it and it lines up

>>723304305
>mystery crossover
There is an obvious one, but it will never happen as Valve can't even into crossovers anymore.
So, what are your suggestions anons?

>>723307324
i thought it was from dredge

>>723307368
That'd fit much better, but it sadly seems to be a dbd hook. I imagine it'll just be a cosmetic or two

Guys

>>723307356
Terraria's been doing so many crossovers and even has a crossover with AF's other crossover, Core Keeper; so it's a fair guess.
Or, along the lines of Terraria, maybe Palworld. I could easily see a crossover between these games.

>>723308246
Balatro also has a ton of crossovers and they all suck

>>723307972
it was obviously dredge

>>723307972
dead by daylight crossover let's goooo

>>723308297
I don't see what of Balatro could be added to Abiotic, it's just cards. It could get cards with AF on them, but AF wouldn't get anything, or at least anything that warrants that much hidden text on the roadmap.
Terraria and Palworld are games with their world, enemies to fight, materials to get and crafting; it's an easy crossover just like Core Keeper was. Considering Relogic announced 1.4.5 was coming "soon" now, I feel like it wouldn't be that... unless they add it to 1.4.5.5 because it's exactly what they would do. Palworld has started with the crossovers with another one already happening, so them doing more doesn't seem implausible, they haven't announced it yet but the roadmap video and the roadmap itself does say the deal hasn't been signed yet, so who know?

>>723308873
the roadmap advertises balatro cosmetics

>>723308873
Playing Balatro on a functioning PC somewhere in the facility (it's just solitaire)

>>723307356
Barotrauma, they've got an update scheduled where you build a stationary base in the oceans of Europa scheduled for around the same time.

>>723294956 (OP)
>If only I had enough fucking material
You don't?

>>723309414
Saw an anon's base in the exact same spot when the game was hot on /v/. Might do the same with how much space you have up there.

>>723309678
I don't remember seeing anyone else post videos of a base above the data farm, so that was probably me.

>>723308945
Oh wait, yeah. I saw that icon as a plant, for some reason, my bad. That game has so many crossovers with so many random games, not surprising if it is here too.

>>723309186
Shoving the entire game of Balatro into the game would be funny, but it could get some PC referencing it like the VotV one. Someone receiving an email telling them to stop playing card games at work or something.

>>723307194

What would a DbD crossover even look like?

>>723311670
Honestly it's more the "can't see more then 5 feet" in the water issue. Personally I skipped the entire segment by jumppad/boost packing over from above.

I can see the collabs now
>Portal world to Europa
>Entire area is just a giant underwater segment with bullshit enemies everywhere including the doom worm if you go into a certain segment.
>Practically nothing of value anywhere BUT there's a clown suit somewhere.
I'd never go there myself because I'm a pussy but funne clown suit. Praise be to the Honkmother.

>>723313504
A portal world where the gameplay is DbD but none of the licensed characters will make an appearance. The devs would have to make their own monster or legally distinct murderer.
You can grab materials while trying to power up generators for the portal out.

>>723294956 (OP)
don't worry anon the cool shit that makes building a base interesting such as fridges, teleporters, light bridges and decent defence turrets all come so late into the game you'll never want to use them

>>723297436
they're colour coded you fagmong

which base defences work for the mages/witches/whatever

aside from what you need to progress you're going to be swimming in a lot of early material pretty soon, if that makes you feel any better.

>>723301156
there's one that goes to labs with a second stop, all the rest are only one

>>723308873
>I don't see what of Balatro could be added to Abiotic
joker trinkets

Man playing this and V rising back to back really made me appreciate how AF always has you progressing and doing something. You hardly ever need to sit and wait and you rarely ever get into a resource grinding loop of going to getting A to get B to get C so you can get more A to upgrade D.

>>723311989
>People with this exact fear.
buddy, as somebody with a fear of big shit in deep water, I'm not going in no matter what
the most I do is go from the tower out the tunnel, pick up the few resevoir growth i need and personal TP the fuck out of there
i've done multiple playthroughs and every single time I just cube+LJP over to the tower; I've never once swam over and I have never seen the beast because I would have a heart attack and die

>>723294956 (OP)
Is this similar to Subnautica? Is it grindy?

>>723314131
>didn't even get through the tutorial zone
sad

>>723315264
It's the best part of the game desu. You barely even need to justify a base if you really wanted to but deciding to take a break to grind up a couple materials for some cool feels the best when it's optional and your own choice.

You can thank the lead dev saying himself he "Doesn't like survival crafting games" for nice choices like that. Like the fucking "Just one" button when splitting stacks. They had someone who was inputting all the shit he hates about the genre and allowed the team to work around and fix it.

>>723307356
They are adding boats so maybe Dredge wouldn't be far fetched.

>>723315661
I've never played Subnautica.
The game's not too grindy, no. Sometimes you need to return to a previous area to gather some crafting materials, but it's never something you need to do over and over again.
Some skills can feel grindy to level up, though. Your mileage may vary.

>>723317331
For me it's the top of the furniture store. Literally raid and Leyak proof with a coffee dispenser downstairs. Segmented areas too and it shits you out near the water pipe shortcuts.

With how useless guns are, I think it would be fine. Also what >>723321636 said. Dude just doesn't sell enough by late game.

>>723318026
probably to make ranged playstyle with guns actually viable by enabling you to make your own ammo from resources
having to constantly farm soldiers for ammo or having to wait for Grayson to appear to get a single mag off of him was really dumb

I'm four minutes into his first Secret History lecture, and I can already tell this guy's an absolute midwit.

>>723320967
MOOOOODS

>>723321783
Honestly, the game feels much better without the conventional guns. I've heard the devs weren't a fan of them, and I have to agree for a number of reasons.

The game was kinda fun, but the combat is objective garbage and the grinding for mats is atrocious.

>>723301326
qrd?

>>723322698
Per Round Reload is a basic feature in most games, it is not in Abiotic Factor. They also put it on the roadmap as a major feature.

why the fuck is the gamepass save file encrypted on this game? Can't even continue my playthough on a steam copy thanks microsoft

>>723322797
I meant why Todd

>>723313954
I'm colorblind.

>>723323194

Did they improve the single-player? I played a few updates ago, and it was so tedious, leveling up anything took forever and barely felt worth it.

>>723324794
That is 100% dependent on your world settings, dude. Just play with your settings until you think it's fair.

>>723322539
I still need that Jotuhn's machine gun.

>>723324794
Stuff like leveling/resources/crafting is usually decided by the player in these kinds of games.
For example you've had the ability to set the xp gain rate since forever if you want to grind less.
It's not them that need to update if that's your issue, you just need to change your world settings.

>>723324794
Just max out exp gain in the sandbox settings. It helps make the game less tedious.

>>723323931
love that shit, post more if you have anything good.

>>723317127
wtf is this delete please

>>723324794
I played singleplayer on default settings and never once felt like I had to grind exp. Levels barely matter outside of unlocking one or two specific melee abilities.

>>723314001
pls respond i think they were called witches

>>723325194
Same. The only thing that was painful slow to level on default settings was stealth, but there's tricks to that too.

>>723323931
This looks really good, nice job anon.
I miss these kinds of main menu screens in games and used to do workarounds for tf2 where you host a custom server and set a spectator camera in an angle and that as background view then

>>723304305

>>723326658
Wait, no. That's not the TF2 screen I know the most.

Update that makes majority of the weapons not dogshit? Why is everythings health pool inflated as fuck? Not balanced for single player at all.

>>723327103
I feel after the labs the HP bloat got really fucking bad. I wish I listened to anons saying to crank the sandbox settings down a bit for single player.

>>723327302
I'm just more annoyed by the fact that every single enemies weapon fucks YOU up really bad yet when you finally get your hands on it it's fucking SHIT, even majority of the science weapons like the sawblade launcher is shit because if you miss one shot your more likely to hit yourself, and the damage number says it's high on paper but on use it's complete ASS.

>>723327103
>using flamethrower against caananites

He's immune to "holy" damage, bro. That is holy fire.

>>723327103
well you're using a weapon that deals damage that they're immune to, for one

>>723327103
yeah as the other guy says these guys don't take holy damage

>>723327103
Check resistances. I had the same complaint until I started actually using blade weapons on Order soldiers. Blunt weapons are fucking terrible most of the time and any gun that isn't the default pistol or upgraded to remove biometrics is also useless.

most of them are supposed to be weak against acid and the big ones have defense against laser
but fuck that noise I just use deatomizer and antique shotgun on them all, ram rod or hardlight saber when i run out of charge and need to reload

Immunities aside, I do wish Flamethrower was flatly more useful in all situations, though.

If it wasn't a progression item I wouldn't build or carry it at all. And that's saying something, because I love ta burn (in vidya)

>>723328745
Whoever thought it was a good idea to restrict movement items in residences is the biggest gorilla nigger I have ever met.

>>723328745
residences and food court are shit
albatross has great atmosphere but you can't build a comfy base there after beating the final boss because of the annoying noise

>>723328883
They created their own problem in that they introduce Jetpacks and longjumps before endgame. So they have to come up with reasons why you can't just jet to upper floors and shit. Though I'm not sure there's any sequence breaks even possible in that area.

>>723328851
Flamethrower being dogshit despite flame rats fucking you up really bad with it has to be the biggest disappointment, NOTHING reacts to it, the damage doesn't do shit to 2/3rd's of the enemy pool and it's heavy as fuck. Didn't even bother using it on aliens it forever sits in my storage box of uselessness right next to the lodestone crossbow.

Fallout 4 was ridiculed for not having per round reload after New Vegas did have it.

I wish the game was harder, you stop feeling like a weak baby scientist very quickly and there aren't enough enemies on top of their AI being dumb as fuck. Sure you can crank the numbers but then the only threat is the literal aimbot enemies like turrets and snipers.

>>723331238
If you want to work for your kills, don't immediately build the next tier of weapons when they're available. They are annoyingly tanky when you handicap yourself like that.

>>723331429
That's the other thing, a lot of your weapons and equipment are disgustingly OP. Heavy weapons, mugnades, and the grinder all annihilate early to midgame. Then you get retarded mobility, laser weapons, the fucking quantum pick. Having to hard nerf yourself and gigabuff enemies for even a semblance of challenge is stupid.

Since they did mention they're filling in the Skill Tree a bit more, what do you hope/expect to see them add?

I'm hoping they add a Skill to Construction that applies the 50% extra resources to any weapon you use to destroy furniture. Buff it to 100% if using a Hammer to balance out 'Razed with Care', and I think it'd be fine.

>>723332426
Playing grounded, I like the auto pick up for crossbow bolts but the way crossbows fall off mid game means this would have to be a pretty early skill tree perk
A strength perk to physically carry and move vending machines would be kinda amusing, more so you can build a collection of vending machines alongside the room of TVs
I'd like a fishing perk that removes the fisheye effect though, even with swimming goggles it's annoying. Fishing definitely needs an overhaul though
