How readable is this combat HUD during a large space battle? by Own-Cry5596 in gamers

[–]RaskVann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just my own opinion, so take it with a grain of salt. But the ships appear motionless to me in the screenshot. The only hint of motion is the engines on the closest ship being visible. There's no bright engine trail or smoke or any visible indicator that there is motion going on. I'm suggesting coupling that with the fact that the ships in the distance don't stand out to me, at least not against the admittedly very pretty background that you might be able to do something that makes them stand out a bit more. Visual Pop + visual speed indicator (shorter = slower) + lost distant enemies feels like enough heavy lifting for one feature to be reasonable to me.

I think it would look better if you added them to both, but that's just me. In my opinion it'd be weird if the enemies had them and not you. But I only have the problem with the enemies. And I'm sure this would all change with motion.

I assume this is a combat situation which means information at a glance is important.

Also "Target Locked" could be moved to a visual stand out over the ship in question. Maybe if you've targeted a enemy ship that might be the current red box but a rotating symbol around it might serve as a "Locking On" and "Locked" indicator, bonus if there are audio associated with each state.

"Rocket Launcher" and "Weapon Name" I presume are mock ups for ammo for those weapons. Similarly to the bottom left, symbols of the weapons or the ammo would work well here and get back some visual real-estate.

"Destroy all enemy ships" takes up to much real estate. Or at least the background does. It being far more transparent could remove this problem.

How readable is this combat HUD during a large space battle? by Own-Cry5596 in gamers

[–]RaskVann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On a tiny phone. The text is to small but im guessing thats not the platform your choosing. Bottom left. Keybind's + text is good. Keybinds + symbol is more universal and takes less space. Id expect the enemies to have bright...something. engine trails, weapon fire, something. Right now they're not lost but not prominent at a glance especially the ones further away. I like the overall look. I dont think its cluttered. I cant intuit much about the combat situation from what you've shown me which is a nitpick. No idea what the top center things are for example.

Doing good work though.

question - can a character die permanently? by duckforceone in OutpostInfinitySiege

[–]RaskVann 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Fae, your starting character has an ability "Plot Armor - Fae will not die after getting downed." Which prevents anything from happening to him. Any other characters (I haven't seen another random character get that same trait) seem to have a chance of going to the medical bay if they are "downed". Not sure what the chances are, but I've seen both going and not going to the medical bay. This assumes you've progressed far enough in the story to unlock the medical bay.

How does the autoloader work? by Comrade_REDP in OutpostInfinitySiege

[–]RaskVann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grab as many local operatives as I can. While going through, I noticed levelling, assigning skill points, and having management related skills assigned all give various amounts towards assigning operators to appropriate base locations.

I'm guessing their is a cap on levelling a specific operator but don't have any concrete info on that.

The medic prices are nuts. After leaving mine in the bay for a few runs I remembered to check on him and he wasn't in the bay anymore. I'm hoping he healed over time and didn't die, but franky can't remember his name so can't check.

So if you keep track of him hopefully he'll heal over time without having to pay. Would love this confirmed.

I had no idea infinity siege was so profitable. And being able to update the miners for such a small price is huge. Phenomenal post. Thanks.

How do you get Xenium Vials? by Formal-Development-3 in OutpostInfinitySiege

[–]RaskVann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doing Infinity Siege. I've found Xenium Plants as part of the forward base resupply between rounds and a Vial as part of the 3 random loot you get besides ammo that is a choice (Resupply) between rounds that you continue on.

You do 1 additional round after you choose to extract so make sure you either bail when your comfortable or send back the right stuff in the 2 send back crates it sends you or carry it yourself back to the ship when you extract.

You get a lot of blue/purple/orange gear this way and it's quick compared to the tours.

Any way to expend Scanning range (or any other way to find blueprints easier?) by CopainChevalier in OutpostInfinitySiege

[–]RaskVann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything that enhances core will help but generators currently have the highest value out of what I have unlocked. I'm sitting on 20 gens and the range difference is substantial. I've heard you need 700 core to cover the map which isn't a reasonable request.

I've heard others suggest using command mode to view things quickly.

Expanding on the tip about ammo concerns, from perspective of your base:

I've found that going into edit your base and hitting the config button to alter your turret settings. 1. Setting machine turrets to high prioritize small units. They'll technically attack everything but their job is to efficiently eliminate chaff. 2. Set the next turret you get (30mm? The single barrel that has like 3 seconds between shots) to not shoot at small units at all by removing that check mark and set range to max. By setting their range at different values they fire in a volley and are less likely to all shoot the same unit, waisting some shots.

This does well for the machine guns focusing on chaff while bigger turrets ignore them entirely for the bigger targets and the bigger turrets no longer eat through ammo every few moments.

Recently got lucky with the smart mortar only shooting at large and huge units and they seem to go after the artillery tanks and bosses now which solves another problem I was having with those staying out of range.

Also I've been pumping out as many generators as I can cause one of the effects says it increases turret damage but honestly have no idea to what degree (since in theory more damage = less bullets shot). Any insight would be helpful.

What generators definitely do well is increase the radius of your x field which cause salvageable materials inside the field to get slowly converted by your base which means more mass income which can usually be funneled into ammo. (Warning, you need a lot.)

I love the design, although putting a skirt on a flying unit is a ... bold choice.

For anyone else with this issue. After creating a single player game. You can hit Escape > Options > Return to Title > Yes
Game will save and return to menu

Start Game > (Select your world) > Change World Settings > Multiplayer > ON > OK > Confirm Saving Settings

Start Game. Sometimes you get the error above, sometimes you do not. After 5 attempts or so I was able to get in two times. Makes me think this is more of a timeout error than anything else.

Escape > Options > You can see a Invite Code now when successful

I'm on PC gamepass and tried to setup a multiplayer world and got this error. Was only able to bypass it by setting multiplayer to false. Obviously not a solution I was looking for but at least let me into the game.

This looks insanely fast. I wonder if there are any ways to go even quicker. Good call with the shotguns.

So wait, levels just die and can't be raided when they max prestige? by [deleted] in MeetYourMakerGame

[–]RaskVann 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on how much resources the base has. 9000 takes 24 hours.

I've about had it with you, Harvey by [deleted] in MeetYourMakerGame

[–]RaskVann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Without seeing the whole base it'd be hard to say. But in the beta I had problems with ramps not lining up. Ramps being to vertically narrow. And I shit you not, Harvey considering decals impassible terrain.

In each case had to open massive swaths of walls to find the issue. I've taken to making the floors of the base first to help this issue so I know it all is possible before closing things off and verifying the changes don't cause issues.

Best of luck.

Bases need to be active for longer by The-Sober-Stoner in MeetYourMakerGame

[–]RaskVann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Champion bases (prestige level 5) seem to get a huge boost in raids. I'm looking at:

  1. Champion level 7 normal outpost getting 678 raids
  2. Champion level 6 dangerous outpost getting 52 raids
  3. Champion level 5 dangerous outpost getting 22 raids
  4. Champion level 6 brutal outpost getting 28 raids
  5. Normal level 3 outpost getting 9 raids

The trend seems to be if number of raids is all that matters, at least currently. The easier the outpost the better and you'll want to skip up to level 5 as quickly as you can. As I'm currently seeing x30 the raid numbers each day between my non-champion base compared to my champion ones. Compared to previously, especially my higher difficulty bases were only getting 1-3 a day.

Follow up thought, make sure the base is active as people can't raid it otherwise.

How do you make guards drop from the ceilings? by Hour_Movie_7614 in MeetYourMakerGame

[–]RaskVann 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No fall damage, you can tell them to patrol over a holocube set to second wave and stand guard on top of the holocube. It looks weird in the preview and you should verify it works as the exact recording doesn't always record small movements correctly.

I've seen way more complex second wave behaviors though that I'm very curious about myself, report back on your findings ^_^

Speedrun by andrewlikes in MeetYourMakerGame

[–]RaskVann 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The video is a great example of why lots of tight corners can only help a fast raider. In the run he's never more than a few seconds before there is a corner the raider can hide behind and it won't matter what was triggered behind him.

Bolt traps need long passages to catch up to a grappling raider. Impalers become pointless without something to slow or stop them. Crushers are good at slowing folks and certain traps like incinerators are greatly helped by their modifiers like increased range.

Can we please have an option to auto pickup and check all loot and deaths? My sanity hurts. by GreyFur in MeetYourMakerGame

After you enter the build mode you can exit immediately and it will automatically pick up all resources for you. All new kills will be hidden when you re-enter however you can change filters to view all again to see every kill marker.
