What's your favorite song so far? Mine is Revved Up #03

i don't think there's enough people here in the playtest for this to survive

>>533816354
Yeah. It didn't hurt to try though since there's an occasional thread on /v/ for it

>>533817489
It would help if the guy linking the general on the /v/ thread didn't fuck it up twice

>>533819352
Lmao. Well it's better than nothing that's for sure

>>533792393 (OP)
I'm more than happy to help keep this general alive if we can get a consistent number of posters here. If any of you have any questions about where or how to get shit, ask me. I was the guy posting about Life Stones/Float Stones in the /v/ thread.

>>533820514
Thanks, that should be useful since some blueprints call for life stones and I haven't seen a single one yet. I'll keep an eye out for Lair of Darkness errors for more consistent life stones

>>533822089
i just want to see some clips
the discord server that had them got spooked by new people coming in so they did a banwave and closed the server

>>533822335

>>533820514
Hey! I was the one who asked about that!

I figured out a way to create life stone broots btw without waiting for a huddle, I noticed that what block the tree broot eggs are on affect it's transformation. (Like battery broots on land.)

So I decided to get a fire block and wanted to break the egg on top of it. Ended up tossing the egg onto the fire brock, breaking both but spawning a life stone broot!

Managed to catch if after tossing a dev stone to stun it. I'm guessing if you gather a bunch of eggs then burn them you can spawn a bunch.

>>533825301
Holy shit I gotta try that now since I'm in a block with a ton of lava

>>533827782
Sorry, after further testing. I may have gotten lucky earlier? I couldn't replicate it again even with the battery broot which I somehow gotten twice in a row on grass? Guessing it's rng or something else. At least I got a rare pet out of it...

>>533828443
Damn. At least it's progress to figure out how eggs spawn oorts

>>533828443
>pet
there are pets in this game?!
screenshot if able

>>533825301
>>533828443
Oh shit that's super interesting, I gotta test it out and see what I get. It's really interesting to be involved in a game this deep without really being allowed to actually talk about the game much. Usually you'd already have a fat fucking Wiki established for info like this.

>>533833573
Yeah, you can get em from either fossils or by sticking around after any Huddle event that asks you to gather Oot Eggs. I got a dog from a fossil and a bunch of cows and rabbits from the Huddle event.

well this thread didn't last long

>>533842985
It's pretty unique for a nintendo game to make you figure out shit for yourself (mostly)

>>533843008
maybe we just keep it limping

Some clips I've collected:

>>533867571
Are these your own or from the discord and social media?

>>533867571
I know here you got this from, hope he post more.

>visit planetary block that was first started on during the 2nd playtest
>hop into crane
>use zl to move the cursor under the ground
>can find hidden blocks under plants

Can someone use singlefile extension on the manual page?

Can someone list the locations of floatstones?
I've looked everywhere in the ocean floor moon and can't find any. I've also done a fated tiles huddle once but I destroyed them too early and my inventory got reset after development.

>>533842985
I'm guessing you can count tame broots as pets? You get them by pulling neutral broots from eggs with your tail until you "capture" them. Might need to stun them first either by attacking or dev stones, else they shake you off.

>>533890265
I picked up a tamed broot from a moon a couple days ago but haven't let it out of the cage yet because I was worried it might wind up destroying stuff around my base like my Tree of Might that I use for the beacon. I guess I can report it in the survey if it does fuck up my base lol.

>>533889954
How did you destroy them too early?? kek
Did you win the Fated Tiles game and immediately start mining them? I'd be tempted to mention that in feedback because that's kinda bull. But Ocean Floor Moons and Fated Tile Huddles are the only consistent sources I know. I've seen them in other Huddles at random as well.

>>533890265
>>533891860
Had no idea you could tame them, I'll fuck around with it later.

>>533893972
To tame them, you'd have to grab their tails a few times. I think the addition of craftible nets was a new addition.

>>533895562
Yeah, the net catcher is definitely new, just completely forgot about it after I bought it. For everyone else, here's the pets I have so far.

wait so is this game literally just nintendo making their own minecraft?

Upcoming maintenance today guys! It's supposed to be from 6pm to 7pm Pacific.
>>533919514
Minecraft/Roblox/Death Stranding/Club Penguin/etc. but yes.

>>533919514
>>533923741
Sorta. I'm not totally sure what the game's real aim is broadly. I think it's main appeal is the movement and the Club Penguin-esque MMO interactivity/dicking around, it's fun to swing around the lobby, shake hands with other people and participate in the cooperative Huddle events. The other aspects feel fine but better in other games? Like I'd much rather try and build stuff in Minecraft where I can build a basic house in a matter of minutes, whereas building just a basic house in this game took me a few hours because the game expects you to fuse every individual block together to avoid shit falling apart due to gravity, placing sand blocks in lava individually to acquire glass, etc. There's faster ways to do these things (crafting vehicles to fuse things faster, visiting Moons to farm glass easier) but without knowing these things during the first Playtest, the game was really off-putting for me. And exploring new areas to gain Developer Levels is fine in concept, but, as far as I know, this game doesn't really have biomes on the main planet. Everywhere is just grassland, it gets old pretty fast (pic related is from one of the Moons that respawns on a regular schedule, not the main planet). That's probably my main complaint honestly. Building shit gets easier with more knowledge, but the exploration remains consistently dull. As for the Roblox-style creative tools, my imagination died in my teens so I can't really rate it. But I've heard it's good.

>>533893972
I'm not sure what happened that time, I thought I collected the card after collecting it but it was not in my inventory at the end. But my pockets might have been full at the time since the next thing I tried works.

My current method of getting them now is climbing up the starter arch in Fated Tiles and stealing the two float stone cards then trying my luck later. (The first time everyone ignored what I was doing so managed to get two intact blocks at the start area by splitting the arch in two at first then grabbing them when it's done. Ppl are catching on though...The dash for the ones at the end is already hectic as it is.)

Not sure if this is a one off but ther's a tethered huddle where you need to develop a dark area together.
There's large broots hidden in there that drops a lot of float stone and life stones. But it's very hard to complete it especially with the lag, I just followed people that seem to know what their doing. I grabbed 10+ float stones lying around at the end as no one in my group was focused on them so they left a lot of them lying around.

Guys if you have a pet broot, put your hand out like you're gonna greet another player and it'll get really happy. This is so cute!

This thread is still alive? Nice.
I wonder what will happen when the planet is completed. Will they just end it, like a social experiment?

>met someone who was lv 100
how? it takes ages to even go up one level

>>533963739
i think your progress carries over from the last playtest, so probably that + dedication

I've seen people posting screenshots in game of tranny flags or other faggot shit in the main deco space, is there a way I can grab it and just kill myself while holding it or do something to take it out of there, I dunno if grabbing it and quitting the game is enough to get rid of it.

I saw someone else grabbing blocks and clearing out the whole main downstairs area, I tried grabbing it and quitting the game, but upon reloading and spectating the guy laying on top of it, it was back despite me still having it in my hands.

>>533963739
I'm level 58 and it hasn't taken too long. Just build a forklift, build a massive pillar with a beacon on top of it and find a bunch of sections that haven't been explored yet. Though I was also in the first playtest.

>>533964160
Most the griefers/heroes I saw destroying the monuments just by spamming X or were doing something to turn large amounts of the blocks colorless.

>>533963739
Errors give a bunch of dev points from what I've heard, so that could help.
>>533966695
I typically make a 19m pillar and fuse a beacon at the end then carry it around in the forklift to light up places. It's the biggest you can make it in order to move it around.
>>533966695
With the painter outfit, hold down ZL to aim and press A to apply whatever color is set to A to change a bunch of blocks at once. As for destroying, just throw other pieces into it. Also be sure to report inappropriate builds like that.

>>533966695
I haven't run into any in person, it's just in the main dev core where people post screenshots, I've been seeing some fag with a Klonoa skin posting some faggot flag he made. I buried it under all the other blocks at first, but then some other guy got rid of all of them and won't kill that one.

>>533967335
Try to pick it up and take it with you to a moon where you can either leave it there if there's a few minutes left on the moon or yeet it over the cliff

>>533967614
The guy that took all the other shit out of there grabbed everything and disappeared in a pink puff of smoke without going into that weird pause screen block you go into when you look at planets.

Is the guy who was recording clips here? Did he get assassinated by the ninjas?

>>533967131
>>533967335
The fag with the Klonoa skin is called manjimutt. If you go to the Playtest website, you can see he's spamming the Development Bulletin Board with his cultist bull. I'm spam reporting any of it I see. Also saw a guy just post "stop posting gay shit this is a kids game no one cares"

>>533969842
I saw that post. I liked it a bunch of times and noticed the guy was standing right beside me spamming the :) emote thing you can grab onto with your tail. I forget his name but I think he was in some Touhou character skin, whichever one of them wears red.

>>533969842
>cultist bullshit
They really can't help themselves, can they? That giant faggot flag they made must have taken hours, and now he's running around spamming it everywhere. It's fuckin' psychotic.

>>533971280
Wait guys, he's got his coords in the screencaps he's spamming. We could track his location and destroy his shit.

>>533969842
>>533971280
I'm worried that anyone who reports that crap will get punished instead for wrongthink. It wouldn't surprise me at the slightest. But it's disgusting how they insist upon doing this. It wasn't this bad during the first test where it only started showing up a bit near the end. If this was a full release it'll be a tsunami of cultist crap.

>>533973037
It's what I'm worried about too. If whatever this game is just turns into tranny spam I might not even bother with it whenever it comes out.

>>533972689
He probably has it under a beacon, as far I can tell there's no way to break someone else's shit while it's under a beacon. If not though then absolutely smash it to pieces.

>>533973654
I'm gonna go on a journey with a paintbrush block and see what we can do. Will post details.

>>533973998
Godspeed anon

So you can't really teleport to places that have undiscovered sections between the place that you are now. You can get around this with Huddle events, but I would basically need to wait for a Huddle event in their area or walk my ass over there myself, and then Huddle Holler so that you guys can come visit too. I'm gonna grab a beacon and see how far I get. I'm aiming for manjimutt and his Hocotate section, to be clear, which is about 150 sections away from me. If anyone's closer, let me know.

Apparently you can steal the radio from gateways of darkness.
>before putting the key on the pedestal, set it down in front of your feet
>set the radio right next to it
>grab the ground and lasso around the two
>make sure the key is closer to your character
>set the key down
I'll have to try that myself later

>>533976682
Where did you learn this?

>>533977020
The unofficial discord in the "playtest help" channel. Someone just suggested using a warp card instead of completing the gateway.

I've made it. You can look for warp cards in the lobby that can teleport you close enough to the area you want to get to.

>>533978352
god it's a shame you can't smash it to pieces or do anything to it at all. Beacons are too strong. These kid fucking mongoloids really can't help themselves and leave their faggot shit out of anything, can they

>>533977354
I think I got caught in a banwave when a lot of anons were coming in, what a shame

>>533978352
>>533978716
I tried painting their blocks and leading a tamed Broot into them to destroy them, but neither works. Tamed Broots will just stop and idle the moment they hit another players beacon. I'm gonna wander around their sector to see if there's anything I can do to fuck things up. Otherwise, I might just throw lava and swampwater everywhere.

>>533980348
Due to how this game works, Manjimutt's going to get a shit ton of notifications about getting connex points from you because you're going in and out of his beacon and jumping on everything. Also players can spectate others at will so be careful out there.

>>533980957
I'm gonna put a warp card in the lobby to his place in the hopes that other people visit and obscure me.

>>533973654
>>533973037
>>533978716
can you guys shut the fuck up about the trans shit and actually give helpful information. being triggered over it is dumb as fuck, you're wasting your god damn time and giving them attention.

knowing nintendo you will be booted for reporting it so why fucking risk it. it's unavoidable and will be in the final game as long as they exist so just get over it.

>>533977354
where'd you find the server name at? can't find it except for some french guys server

>>533986227
>where'd you find the server name at?
after the flood of anons it got closed

>>533986227
What useful information do you want then? I'm just finding ways to pass time because I've frankly done everything the game has to offer short of just building shit. Unlocked everything at the shops, done the Huddle events a gazillion times. I just wanted to test the griefing boundaries.

>>533986227
That "it's unavoidable so just get over it" attitude is the main cause for why they're infesting every single gaming community. They insist upon getting in our way and won't stop unless they get pushback. It's like covering your eyes with your hands and they pull your hands away and pry your eyes open to force you to see them.

>>533987456
They're a protected group, why you think laws are there to prevent hate crimes and career oppression. Nintendo & many other game companies have rules that protect them too. You're fighting a losing battle and will only risk getting banned yourself for a false report/seemingly anti-LGBTQ. If they end up getting hammered it's for Spam not for the flag they share. Don't bother cause when you cut one head more sprout. They're also fully aware of 4chan's antics, as they've done photo posts discussing the vandalism and it only encourages them to fortify it. Ignoring them is the best route.

Maintenance is over!

>1 hour and 20 minutes later
Maintenance is not over, is it?

>>534005569
It's been over for an hour and a half.

Idk how closely you guys are paying attention to the website, but they've renewed everyone's Test Credit freebies, so be sure to claim them all.

>>533989084
I mean, historically Nintendo have removed openly LGBT posts in both Smash Ultimate and Splatoon, so it's not exactly the losing fight you're making it out to be.

>Dead for 5 hours and 20 minutes
Maintenance is not really over is it?

>>534044303
Americans are sleeping still. I checked the lobby, redeemed my free credits, saw that all the trans stuff was gone from the bulletin board and got back to farming trophies from Huddle events. Very funny that people have started just immediately mining the Float Stones from the beginning arch in Fated Tiles.

>>534005569
>>534044303
Most of us are busy playing in general, plus the lower traffic in /vg/ compared to /v/ will make the thread's activity a little slow.
>>534049678
No-life burger here, I'm awake and jumped back into the game. I was gonna start working on gathering materials for crafting all my machines again, but ended up working on a pet pen for the tamed broots I've been getting

>don't bother with nso expansion so ignore the playtest
>turns out it's my dream game
>i missed the only wave of invites
oh my fucking god just kill me aaaaaaaaa

>>534062024
There might be a 3rd playtest after this one. I didn't think a 2nd one would come up but they randomly announced it when they did so there's still hope for a 3rd. But one of the requirements is to have an active NSO Expansion sub at the time they announce the playtest, which would mean you'll be spending more money to qualify for something that might not come up again.

>>534064061
>you used in the last playtest
yeah it's over

>>534066323
The screenshot is for previous playtesters (it seems I didn't take any screenshots for the main page). The requirements for new playtesters was basically the same for NSO Expansion at the time they announce it, be over 18 and have your account set to specific regions.

They literally cannot help themselves. What do you even pick as a report? Inappropriate/harmful? Sexually explicit? Advertising?

>>534086914
Maybe under "inappropriate" and write that it's a political statement? It does remind me of a meme that said "women deserve equal rights and lefts" and it showed a guy standing over a crying woman in the corner implying he beat her so "trans rights <3 and trans lefts :)" can be a read as a veiled threat too

>>534086914
I've been picking the "Other Inappropriate Content" since it is just broadly not appropriate for a kids game. Honestly spamming flags of anything politically controversial just has no place in a kids game, no matter how you slice it. But it's been a lot better today, a lot of the stuff in the bulletin board yesterday seems to be gone and the users who posted them don't seem to have posted anything new, so maybe they've been warned?

Speaking of, cool thing I saw in the bulletin board. I might drop some materials off in his world as a donation.

I wish someone could scape all of the images off the bulletin board since you know it's not going to last, but I don't know shit about coding, and I don't think anyone wants to do it manually.
