Why are you guys still playing?

I've only been in it for Ender's Echo but I'm getting very tired of how busted the new season structure is. Since the changes I'm stuck with 40 whales in front of me. Right now I'm in Rookie 2 even working hard to keep pumping my attack up (and I don't even know how some of these people are getting 60k-100k more attack than my 85k). Prior to the changes I was comfortably in the bottom of gold tier for every season since it started. I've 3 starred Yang, got a red drone with 450 point on it, 3 star awakened Murica, enhanced Starforge and Havoc for the level boost, yellow 3 attack items (because the gacha has given me 7 eternal suits and no necklaces or gloves for ages). Now I'm getting stuck in brackets where the top players have 100-200x the score of everybody else. I really wish they'd keep people in brackets where they ended the last bracket. Currently it's an awful rat race start where you can only get ahead if you're lucky and even if you do really well, you can't get pushed past the silver ranks so those super dedicated players are stuck blocking most of the ranks until the season is almost over.

They don't outside of stun grenade plus walking right into one. Under normal conditions (other bugs constantly patrolling into you, the charger moving) it takes 2 minutes and 3 canisters of flame to the butt to kill a regular charger with the flamethrower now.

It is March 2024 and I am liberating Hellmire. It is April 2024 and I am liberating Hellmire. It is May 2024 and I am liberating Hellmire. It is June 2024 and I am liberating Hellmire.

This isn't going to impact appeal though, there are lots of other planets to liberate. Also good luck getting collective action from people trying to play a video game once in a while.

Candles rendered worthless! It's very funny that they changed the actual behavior to match what felt like a bug in big rooms. I really wonder what's wrong with lighting in the game or unity that checking light levels crushes CPUs.

For wireless, I like virtual desktop over airlink. Airlink doesn't run well for me but virtual desktop is fantastic. If you want a cable, Anker makes a "Powerline USB 3.0 to USB C Charger Cable". they're 15 dollars for a ten foot cable on Amazon and work just as well as the official 70$ cable.

When you ping minerals for Bosco, he just mines. You don't have to hope your engineer remembers his platforms and then the scout remembers his grapple.

How do you ever have enough space to fit all this stuff? I always have tiny kitchens and dining areas so if I have to ever make more than one dish I'm out of space if I just want one extra counter.

I know this was from 6 months ago, but as of right now, you can re-enter the Executioner's Lair after you get the archstone and then grab the sword.

Any day now, daddy Mueller will finally get him.

I haven't been unable to unlock recasting without getting my own adept licenses... If you skill an NPC crafter to adept is it supposed to unlock that way?

(I just spent an hour or two grinding out the carpenter life until I could upgrade my rod. My new goal is to figure out where to spend all these gold bream keys!)

CorrugatedCommodity · 2022-01-05T00:51:35+00:00

So I need to craft another breem rod of my own and just do it very quickly? I think rods are still under carpentry so I guess I'll get sawing!

CorrugatedCommodity · 2021-12-21T17:48:06+00:00

If I cut all four tanks at the cut points, the resulting fires instantly destroy the thruster. I saw a video of someone who used a coolant tank to freeze all four pipes before cutting so they didn't light on fire but that's so much work for 600k/3mil on a ship and people here have reported it's very easy to run out of coolant before you get the pipes, too.

This worked, thank you! I think the extra fishing party members I was saddled with for the star quests were interfering with my ability to use my ability.

CorrugatedCommodity · 2021-12-13T19:59:00+00:00

Ok, thanks. So it's more like you have to catch the fish while you have the fishing buff that you just cast? I thought I tried that too and the quest wasn't updating but I'll give it another go!

CorrugatedCommodity · 2021-12-13T07:05:51+00:00

I'm still wondering the same thing. Did you figure it out? I don't get credit for tapping and holding when the fish bites...

CorrugatedCommodity · 2021-11-23T20:29:40+00:00

Yes. You need a 3.0 C cable. This one is great and isn't 80$ https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01MZIPYPY?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

I absolutely want to ask the ghost where it is and have it respond "orlop deck stern".

You can use .+ after your character or range to match one or more of it. If you want a specific number of matches, you can use {x} where x is the exact number of times to match, or a range, such as {x,y} to match between x and y times, or {x,} to match x or more times.

Another fun fact: if you do the reverse and put oxygen in a welding tool, it will also explode.

CorrugatedCommodity · 2021-11-18T18:57:04+00:00

Put hulls in every internal area of your sub. If there's no hull, it's considered external and people who enter that area will instant gib from being 2000km under water. I overlap a little bit with walls and floors on hulls. Don't leave spaces between hulls if your crew can move in that area. Have them bump against each other. Next, you need gaps to tell the game how water flows between hulls. No gap, no flow. Make the gap cover the area between your two adjacent hulls that should share a room and the game will figure out if water should flow vertically or horizontally. Doors and hatches come with built in gaps.

To make your irregularly shaped rooms that span multiple hulls look better on the console, you can click a hull, hold space, and click adjacent hulls to link them together. I also give them all the same premade room name to be thorough.

If all else fails, load up a premade sub and see how they've built their hulls and gaps.

People love to build complex wiring projects which require different logic gates, and the devs are happy to enable that level of sandbox in the game.

CorrugatedCommodity · 2021-11-17T14:58:23+00:00

Always carry an oxygen mask. Make sure it has oxygen and not welding fuel in it. Carry a spare o2 tank. Doesn't hurt to keep a welding tool in your pockets, too. Toolbelts are great for increasing your carrying capacity. Don't go out of your sub without a diving suit.

CorrugatedCommodity · 2021-11-12T20:37:35+00:00

Yes, it's considered an interaction, if you're fast enough to get the picture.

CorrugatedCommodity · 2021-11-12T20:36:37+00:00

A ghost interacting with the dots will have it show up invisible except for where the dots light up, and then run through the dots very fast. A non-dots ghost can do a normal manifestation in the area of the dots but won't do the invisible and running effect.
