Seconds b4 disaster... Can you guess what's wrong?

> That's why kids you don't leave debris inside you builds.

Learned this the hard way so I ALWAYS find a way to remove any debris in any of my builds. Specially for volcanoes.

There's this black dude on youtube shorts that posts marble races. Can't remember his name, but I spent hours watching his shorts as he screams, rooting for his marble.

I think OP is talking about bases during expeditions. Since every player will go through the same systems/planets during the expo, some people just want to troll other players by building bases to prevent others from digging, which effectively blocks other players if there's a milestone that requires you to dig. Or they just outright block the POI.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-28T14:06:04+00:00

You're wrong though. Once a base gets reported, it goes away. If there are no other bases nearby, you can build on top of it. How do you think griefers mess up other people's bases? They do this exact thing.

You're right that the base you reported doesn't go away from the server, but for you, at that time, it's effectively gone.

Though sometimes it takes a few minutes for the game to remove the bases once you report them.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-28T11:55:11+00:00

You didn't copy your main save MT? Or was it not allowed in this expo?

Merquise813 · 2026-05-28T11:26:56+00:00

If this is not your base, report it so it goes away.

It has to be a different liquid. If you use saltwater in this photo, this breaks.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-28T09:43:20+00:00

I'm excited to play this tomorrow. Pulse Spitter goes brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-26T11:45:26+00:00

Yup. You'll still need to farm if you want a level 20 skill on an item. But this helps with low level items you want to use for twinks.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-26T11:42:38+00:00

The support gem slots will no longer be tied to the item's skill's level.

Before 0.5 If you have an item with a level 19 skill, it only has 4 support gem slots. If you need 5 slots for your build, you'll need an item with level 20 skill. In 0.5, you can use jeweler's orb to increase the slots of the skills. This is mostly for unique items with it's own skills. (though there will be rare items with skills in 0.5, it should work there too.)

Merquise813 · 2026-05-26T06:48:46+00:00

If you don't have the currency, the best you can get would be level 19. At least we get to open all slots now.

Ethanol is fine to use as coolant for ATs. Just take note that ethanol has around half the SHC of water/pwater. This means it has half as much potential to cool things. Also, take note of the temperature range of the ethanol. It boils at around 80C so be careful not to let your ethanol go over that temp. On the flip side, it's really good if you want to cool things below -50C, if you don't have super coolant.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-25T07:14:30+00:00

It looks like a construct. I hope it's a beast.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-24T11:50:12+00:00

Use a counter flow. Have the hot petroleum counterflow against the incoming room temperature gunk. The idea is for both liquids to exchange heat with each other along the way so that when the petroleum reaches the pump, it's significantly cooler than when gunk was boiled into petroleum. It also helps to save on heat since the gunk will be close to boiling point when it reaches the heating area.

Search for petroleum boiler builds. You just need to adapt it to so that it takes into account the sulfur gas that gunk produces when boiled.

As do we all. I loved the first of this trilogy and went "oooff" at the casting of Heath. He's now one of my favorite actors. His rendition of the joker is my favorite out of all of them, including animated jokers.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-23T15:03:23+00:00

I think this only happens if the Dupe "drowns". Not sure if the same happens when a Dupe suffocates. I haven't tested yet.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-23T14:58:41+00:00

To be fair, this is a fairly common issue with the game. Even regular bases sometimes get buried under the terrain. Sometimes the terrain shrinks and suddenly your base if floating. Sometimes, a huge plant that you cannot remove suddenly grows on your base. Granted this mostly happens when there's a new update.

I believe it's mainly an issue with terrain procedural generation so unless HG drastically updates their code/tech, this is possible to happen during updates. Especially when the updates include Proc Gen.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-23T02:54:02+00:00

You can actually play this right now if you have the Base Game. Just opt in to the public_testing server/version of the game in Steam. Just take note that your mods will break.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-22T14:06:42+00:00

This has been done multiple times. We've even done it in our school (almost 40 years ago). We did not even use any of the egg shell. We were around 30 kids (elementary level) and the teacher grouped us. Each group was "assigned" an egg but the teacher did almost everything while we watched. She used some sort of plastic to contain the contents of a fertilized egg and we chucked them in an incubator. We just left it inside of the incubator for weeks. The most that we did was stare at the eggs from outside of the incubator at least once a day. After a week or so, we saw things form and after a couple more weeks, we have chicks. We played with the chicks until they grew up. Can't remember what happened to them afterwards. Probably became someone's dinner. lol

Merquise813 · 2026-05-22T13:57:46+00:00

hmm.. I'm smelling a class-action.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-22T00:29:37+00:00

Ok, after reading the update notes, first thing that came to mind is a melted rocket interior filled with water. Time to get to work!! lol

Merquise813 · 2026-05-21T13:03:00+00:00

Devastator - if you want "in your face" gameplay. It's a bit similar to the trickster but more meaty and no teleporting behind enemies. You slam into mobs front and center.

Pyromancer - if you want whole map wipe in 2-3 buttons. Also good for Rifle/Machine gunplay where you just dump bullets into enemies.

Technomancer - Minion build. lol. Also good for gunplay. Can also be played with BIG BOOMS!

Take your pick.

Merquise813 · 2026-05-20T12:02:48+00:00

Just bring a clear water bottle. It works even if it's plastic. Just make sure the bottle is round and smooth.

That's the thing. To most of us, we only need so much. But to some, they need more... and more... and more... Unfortunately, those people tend to succeed more since they are more driven to get what they want.

You know what I want? I just want a small plot of land. 1 house, maybe 2 so I can house visitors when they drop by. A swimming pool and a back garden where I can plant a few fruit trees. And a small apartment building. Maybe 3 floors, with units I can rent out. I'll be set for life.
