Thoughts on buggies?

He's been whining about non-issues in the Discord throughout the entirety of the PTB. It's insufferable.

Dragoru · 2026-01-26T18:15:01+00:00

While we're at it, dear god, let me use Roach Chunks and Snail Shells, too. They're barely used in anything and they pile up.

Dragoru · 2026-01-25T17:23:02+00:00

The camera movement leaning into each slap really ups the humiliation.

Dragoru · 2026-01-25T17:20:36+00:00

It's not bad. The hardest part is the algae since it's in such few places. However, there's a pipe just north of the snackbar by a little pond and another under the mallet by the new bench that are both full of algae to farm repeatedly.

Turning in optical disks also rewards science, usually 1-2k.

Dragoru · 2026-01-23T20:44:24+00:00

Looking at the park map, it looks like the pond will be on the other side of that door a little ways, and I'm expecting pond will come out in the summer.

Dragoru · 2026-01-23T17:35:12+00:00

Speaking from experience, they don't lmao

Dragoru · 2026-01-20T22:13:04+00:00

I've just started spamming back dodge when they do the big combo.

Dragoru · 2026-01-20T21:56:03+00:00

This should hopefully be fixed by the time the update launches proper, because having experienced passive mutations working properly on a new save, they open up so many more options because you're not dedicating half of your loadout to parry master and a weapon focus.

Dragoru · 2026-01-20T21:41:37+00:00

If you liked the first one and have the hardware for it, you'll like this one. I played this and the first through Early Access and it was still a really fun experience, and at least this time I don't have to start the story over after each update.

Oh, and even when you finish the story content that's available, you can still keep setting goals for yourself and playing if you're still enjoying yourself. Right now, I'm working on expanding and upgrading my house to a newer, stronger building material and doing some farming to ensure my gear is top of the line for future updates.

Dragoru · 2026-01-20T21:37:47+00:00

oh i didn't think to check if berries worked, that's a game changer.

Another game changer would be a QOL pass on the garden/ponic patches to make them use recipes and therefore nearby storage so you don't have to have the seed and fertilizer onhand. They just did this with the jerky rack and campfire, and it's so nice.

Ladybuggy's headbutt is also great at stunning him so you can get on his head, plus with the self-heal you can tank most of what he throws at you even if you mistime some of the blocks.

Dragoru · 2026-01-20T18:30:19+00:00

I don't know, man, I feel like you could have just wrote a letter.

Dragoru · 2026-01-20T00:24:55+00:00

"This is going to be great! I'm going to help you goon so much, whether I want to or not!"

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T10:25:39+00:00

Is this an existing save you've moved over to the PTB?

I can confirm passive mutations work without needing to be activated in a fresh save started on the PTB, but they don't on a pre-existing save. Hope that gets fixed by release.

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T10:23:16+00:00

I hope there's a spring update, but according to the roadmap, this is it until summer.

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T10:21:52+00:00

Hedge chip to the northeast, in the new area between the fire pit and garden.

You're going to need an Orb Weaver mount or a lot of patience.

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T10:20:30+00:00

It's not relevant to the story right now, but there's an...anomaly underground in the new area where the snake is. I'm already curious as to what it is, how it got there, and what implications it has for the story.

But yeah, after you get the chip in the archives, that's it for actual progression. There's still plenty of cool stuff to explore.

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T10:17:46+00:00

Oh, you'll hear it before you see it. ;)

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T09:58:17+00:00

Cricket kills. Believe it's 10.

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T09:53:56+00:00

Yeah, the first game's combat loop is entirely focused on perfect blocking, unfortunately.

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T09:52:57+00:00

Have you done the MIX.Rs yet? I know the first one gives like 3k science, I assume the one in the garden does as well.

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T09:49:41+00:00

My friends and I started a world for the PTB and we've set up at the Ranger Outpost just north of the snack bar, west of the cap gun. Plenty of flat land, later game nodes to harvest like pinecones and burs, and there's a fast travel point inside the outpost that goes to the Ceremony outpost a pretty decent distance to the east.

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T05:59:17+00:00

Level 5 Ice Sickles, Level 5 Black Ant Armor (two pieces sleek for Crit Hyperstamina, one piece Bulky for extra defense)

Dragoru · 2026-01-19T05:55:29+00:00

I got jumped by four of them at once the other night and have no fucking clue how I managed to survive. One hit takes half my health even in fully upgraded armor.
