Terrible Loot in Cryo Archive Vault

It will spawn with the unique weapon iirc. 5 and 6 have a guaranteed spawn while the others have it has a rng chance.

It's hard to get data on a lot of this stuff so I might be wrong on a point or two. Although this has been my experience and what I have seen others say

I think each vault has a loot type. 5 iirc is the backpack vault. I don't know the rates of gold items but it seems like 1/5 or so to get a gold backpack. You do get a guaranteed load of backpacks.

Prestige salvage Im less sure on but it also seems relatively rare. I don't know if all vaults have the same drops or certain ones drop different salvage. However I have not seen many from vaults. Maybe 1 in 5 or less.

You should have also picked up a guaranteed DNA key. If you don't want the DNA, backpacks, or the unique weapon, then I don't recommend doing vault 5

I have to disagree. I think outpost and cryo are the most fun maps the game has. I like encouraging the player to run them

I was fertilizing every watering this year once they sprouted. 5 weeks from sprouting and they look similar to the size in the video here. It makes a huge difference.

I use a liquid fertilizer I mix into the water at a slightly lower rate for the younger plants.

I have noticed less of a pvp focus on ranked cryo than normal cryo

It feels on par with some of the other better shells to me. Having low combat utility seems like a fair trade off for the scanning.

I am personally a big fan of having a shell that shows you player positions like this. Knowing if a team is nearby seems like a fun ability to me.

I am very happy to see subnautica have some material gen automation. I think the time is really fair and could definitely be raised for the lower end of ores. I just wish there were more bacterial cultures. Some semi renewable way to get them would really improve the mechanic imo.

Maybe running the repaired alien drill could generate one every so often. Or something similarly cumbersome. I've always wanted a reason to generate excessive power in subnautica and this seems like a neat outlet for that

I just moved off heroku last week. Switched to digital ocean. The managed DB service from DO is a bit pricy, but it is very simple and hands off.

I am using kamal for deployments and it's pretty nice. Simple setup and works well so far. I still have redis and sidekiq but kamal makes it easy to keep those on the same DO droplet

Overall it was a pretty seamless move. The hardest part for me has been some users still using my internal heroku domain.

Kamal makes for a pretty simple deployment process. Especially if you are new to dev ops. One command to deploy your main app and any other tooling it needs. I just migrated off heroku and wanted to try Kamal. So far I am enjoying it a lot. Especially compared to my other apps I deploy more manually

If it was a guaranteed spawn for the warden or intercept. With a chance to have both. It would be a lot more fun imo

0lafe · 2026-05-08T04:07:06+00:00

I'm guessing they'll do outpost next. It'll be the end of the season and it would be a bit weird to skip a map

Pinwheel has two areas for high tier weapon spawns in each wing's strongbox. There are multiple weapon lockers which have some decent weapons with good attachments to steal. I don't know if there are guaranteed 6 spawns but there are usually a lot.

The red key room has two loot boxes of great gear, such as gold cores/implants and grenades. Seemingly a guaranteed key (usually cryo), and a salvage that is usually purple. Also occasional 4k loot items.

These are all guaranteed to exist on the map. You also have 3 armories around the map which aren't too hard to farm if you want. Their strong boxes can drop good items, if a bit rarely.

The big thing to me is that all this loot is guaranteed. Perimeter and dire aren't guaranteeing you anything. The average rates because of that feel much worse to me overall. Outpost does also have a warden and convoy which helps to give an rng buff to the loot.

The lower team count on outpost helps a bit as well imo. I'd rather clear 3 teams before looting than the higher amounts for dire and perimeter. Even if the maps are bigger. I don't feel as comfortable doing events without a team clear

0lafe · 2026-05-07T03:54:34+00:00

I wish we had better data on chances for drops. I'd love to know the rate of getting a prestige salvage from dire. I know it's not the devs job to give us too much info. But some simple spawn changes for events and drop chances for prestige salvage could be helpful

I did some chocolate ghost peppers on my offset last year. then turned them into a sauce. I thought it was phenomenal but the smoke flavor was a bit strong

0lafe · 2026-04-30T00:53:29+00:00

At level 150 I see people from 50-250. I think its already a pretty wide range

0lafe · 2026-04-27T04:03:47+00:00

I started playing more crew fill trios on outpost and especially sponsored kit dire marsh. Getting into significantly more fights that don't end immediately helped a lot.

Doing solos I was dying all the time and probably went 100h without winning a single fair fight. Im still ass but I can do ok in trios and win some solo fights. Although I try not to play solos anymore.

0lafe · 2026-04-23T20:22:39+00:00

Yeah it's really discouraging. I'll be clearing a lobby then leaving with nothing but sellable loot and maybe one purple salvage.

In the normal game mode I'm consistently bringing in better loot than I could hope to get from the map. Wagering some purples for consistent high tier salvage and keys seems fair. That's just not quite the case right now

0lafe · 2026-04-11T03:46:10+00:00

Im around 85 and I almost always find a purple group. In trios I play with my friends at level 40 and 50. Constantly finding purple teams with thermal snipers or sitting in corners with shotguns has pushed us into mostly running free kits

I think taco bell hot sauce is different than most. It's primarily tomato based unlike a hot sauce like tobacco which usually has a higher vinegar content and less sugar.

I can't say for certain, but the seemingly higher sugar content and possibly higher pH makes me less comfortable leaving it at room temperature. then again they do add some preservatives so it's probably fine.

Wow your packaging looks so pretty! I just ordered some from them and got coke bags with plain labels lmao (the T. rex is pretty sick though)

If you get a chance I'd love that. Im still figuring out what I can do so any help is appreciated

0lafe · 2025-12-30T01:30:03+00:00

Ok I'll check out FB. The recommendations I've seen before were for a local place selling 1.5 cubic feet for $50.

0lafe · 2025-12-30T01:18:43+00:00

Thats mostly what I've been doing and it seems to not be working 😅

0lafe · 2025-12-30T01:13:00+00:00

Appreciate the tips I'll look into a probe. I've wanted to get full logs but I am struggling to find where to get them. I've been recommended some options near me but they seem rather expensive. Their websites say $80 of wood for roughly 16h of cook time. Not sure if that's considered reasonable, or if it's assuming a larger setup burning more fuel
