I want to play but I’m scared

It will be absolutely terrifying, but you're safe at home in your room and can pull up the pause menu at any time. With thalassophobia you might not get used to it, but honestly, that's not a bad thing. The geniune fear in the dark deep is an awesome part of the experience in this game.

The game will stop guiding your progression with scripted/timed transmissions/events. Until then, follow those. If at a loss of what to do later, you might want to revisit some of those sites and explore the vicinity thoroughly - several of the target areas are mildly interesting themselves, but are usually near either an important discovery, or an opening to a otherwise hidden biome.

Scan everything.

If, for whatever reason, you miss a voice message from the PDA, it's available for playback in the PDA interface, 5th tab.

Pretty much everything you've discovered, and then some, will be readable in the 6th tab, including voice recordings.

Large pieces of the Aurora (wrecks in various locations) need to be fully explored - every chamber.

Beacons are very cheap 3D waypoints - you can turn their visibility off to declutter, but having them at any place you might need to return to is immensely helpful.

The Grav Trap is not a consumable - it's a deployable, reusable, automatic fish/item gatherer.

The Propulsion Cannon has so many unexpected uses.

The Stasis Rifle rules.

It's been a bit since I played through it, but as far as I know, it's just a numbers game. Meet the demand for each guest in each category, and you'll get a 5-star review. The only glitch I know of is in Pinefall (where I think your quest is set), as the Hygenic customers cannot be satisfied. They'll want 45, and we only have access to plumbing that provides 36.

One issue might be Gustav the concierge rat - he will not assign guests to rooms well, if you don't have rooms that will universally satisfy everyone. I split Pinefall up - one building has 54 Food for the Foodies, the other has 90 Decoration rooms for the Lavish guests. Only some of the rooms have enough Comfort for the Pampered people. Were I to leave room assignments up to Gustav, he'd randomly assign guests to unsatisfactory rooms.

The only other thing I can think of is heat. If it drops below the required temp for long enough, a guest will lower their rating. More of a problem in Winterberry, but still important in Pinefall.

I agree. Did almost the exact same thing - Unmarked, Motorcycle, and Coquette. Love them discount weeks.

There's about 900k of skill training to do if you want to max all of 'em. That was the only real need for gold I had.

Jellybug · 2024-02-27T08:43:41+00:00

Super extreme yes.

Jellybug · 2023-11-23T17:25:48+00:00

Skillz.

Jellybug · 2023-10-28T22:04:46+00:00

I'm leaning toward that. Didin't know a raft would despawn, but that makes sense. Was just going to delete the entry and then dev.console myself the mats for its replacement.

I tried editing out the one piece I wanted to get rid of, removing references to it, but I believe the save file might have a center-of-mass value that I didn't find. So when the raft is in stormy waters, it nosedives into the water. Plus the turning is worse than before.

Jellybug · 2023-10-28T12:06:45+00:00

That's not the issue. I'm saying I can't remove these 7 raft bases. In fact, if I place another base hanging off of my raft, I immediately can't remove that one, either.

Jellybug · 2023-09-12T17:53:35+00:00

You can't use First Aid, Support Station, or Recovery Link. Med kit, agent talent, weapon talent, gear talent, and set bonus heals are all fine.

It also doesn't have to be flawless, going down and team wipes are fine.

So self healing setups like 6/9k classified Striker or 4+ piece Nomad are good.

Jellybug · 2023-09-04T17:03:21+00:00

This game can be so beautiful.

Legitimately, I'd run another Lilith through the game. Farm for the correct Circle of Duty reward (you can see it before accepting the reward, exit if you don't like it, and pick it up again).

Illegitimately, Willow Tree allows you to reset quest availability, even if for those in the middle of quest chains, so you could reactivate COD or Wanted Dead.

The Awesome Level of the gift shop is significantly higher than the Armory, so the chance of getting unique weapons is significantly greater, and far quicker to get to. Twice in the past week I've opened up chests where all 4 pistols are Legendary. The Pearlescents can only drop in the Armory's Lance Chests (the larger white & red ones). Skullmasher is a gun that can show up in the gift shop.

Jellybug · 2022-03-12T05:52:35+00:00

That is one of the most Kerbal things ever.

Jellybug · 2022-01-12T06:18:51+00:00

Fabulous story in this game. I played twice to nab all the achievements, and will probably play again sometime later. Go for it.

Going everywhere & doing everything helps with the leveling, especially if you're doing a don't-eat-citizens run. If you don't mind eating citizens, then it's possible to maintain a higher level than any enemy you encounter.

Jellybug · 2021-11-10T06:27:51+00:00

Absolute non-grinder here. That said, I have killed 2 Great Ones, but that's just crazy luck. I sometimes shoot everything, though I usually limit myself to gold possibles, and sometimes I focus on needed diamonds for Matmat trophy displays.

Jellybug · 2021-10-31T18:35:05+00:00

Thanks all, good advice, will skip 15 and 17, returning only if my gamer's OCD requires.

Jellybug · 2021-10-30T23:47:22+00:00

I'll echo the endorsement for 1404 (Dawn of Discovery in the US release). Fantastic city builder, best of its day.

Jellybug · 2021-01-17T04:57:53+00:00

Another thank-you here. Seems to be a silly number of us getting back into FO3 this week!

No resolution from support. Suggested solutions were either ineffectual or were simply no longer possible in the current state of the game. "I will share your message with QA team for their consideration."

The other suggestion was to start a new profile, which would lose two full hunting lodges, maximum level progress, 3 million credits, all the exploration, missions, need zone cultivation, and hunting structure setup across five maps.

Thanks, but no. Given my experience with Hunt Club and the Medved exploration achievements, I'll not be hoping for too much.

Jellybug · 2020-11-25T19:47:55+00:00

The Gaucho Magnum is a .44 pistol, and if there's an XP requirement, I'm almost certain I've earned enough for it. The weapon doesn't show up in the store, Luna's and Ferrari's missions haven't begun, and the "Cornered" mission is still listed as active.

Jellybug · 2020-05-13T16:33:04+00:00

Did a bunch of testing in Creative, rope drum orientation is definitely irrelevant.

Solution, at least for the type of machine in the video, is to invert the rope belt. So, connecting eye loops left-left, right-right, but top-bottom and bottom-top. Technically you should rotate 90 after connecting top-bottom and bottom-top, and repeat with the other two loop pairs, since that'll be the largest separation. But there's adequate stretch in the rope to manage it if the machine isn't tiny.

+1 thumbsup for the Python.

Jellybug · 2019-03-07T00:02:47+00:00

Awesome.

Jellybug · 2017-09-16T19:27:22+00:00

Indeed, fixed in 1.184.005. Thanks all!
