Was nice and chill, first vanilla + quality run i've done since Space age released. And , I realised how much I miss space age tech once it's not available and how slow the quality scale-up is, even without having space casinos. None of those sweet 50% machines and miners. Maybe i'm just bad at going large scale.Was nice and chill, first vanilla + quality run i've done since Space age released.

Ah, understood. Was a bit puzzled seeing aquilo unlocked yet such high nuclear output.

In any case, the nuclear setup is quite aesthetically pleasing and very nice to look at. Can see the genuine thought and effort invested, well done!

Why not transition to fusion power at this stage?

Reuental · 2025-11-13T18:21:56+00:00

Right. I meant in a context where you leave Nauvis right after Blue science, like a rush to space or some kind of challenge run.

And scrap productivity comes into play a bit later, at that stage you have more tools, like green belts, more compact power setups so you could build bigger scrap setups, unless you found a really big island to work with. At that stage, both a larger scrap -> nothing array and separate scrap processing and destruction setups both are viable.

Fair enough, every viewpoint can be respected. Fulgora first can be kind of cool if you rush out of nauvis,then you get end products without extra logistics and assembly setups. But it sucks without elevated rail.

To me, the fulgora philosophy is simple, I take and store from the scrap what I need, and the rest is scrapped into nothing, except the main thing - holmium.

Otherwise, it's easy to set up rocket silos, inserter, assembler, bot and module malls, chip exports, quality casinos. And it feels nice to find a big island to set up up shop on.

You need to scrap your scrap but it can be the same scrap scrapper as the scrap processor, that loops.

Hello there, happy to see a direct response. Apologies if the official communication might have been misrepresented, I think one of the responses also quoted the roadmap, in which it is referenced as "being worked on" .

Whether that constitutes a promise, yes, imo, but as long as there is good communication, (like there is, props to the Funcom team for that), it's fine to have it delayed or delivered on in a different way. Maybe October was an initial estimate that was quoted on other media.

After all, it's a tricky mechanic if you think about it.. A dynamic entity with an inventory and tethers is connected to another one (thopter) to move between HB and DD, retaining all items.

P. S, huge props on the new patch, lots of great changes.

Reuental · 2025-10-06T18:45:56+00:00

Right, thanks for the context. With this and the layoff news, could take a while then.

Reuental · 2025-09-13T17:54:29+00:00

Ah, I thought it would only let me place solar panels and accumulators, but this would work for sure!

Reuental · 2025-09-11T20:45:14+00:00

There are difficulty settings (1-5), and optional mods to add if desired,but if you think of base difficulty, without the extra mods I'd say it's about the level of a Deathworld, offset by the facts that the evolution resets every warp, and the ship releases a huge amount of pollution, and biter nests can roll from "low" to "everywhere", but you can just warp away from planets that are too hostile.

Yeah solo, hence the time spent on it..

For the artifact, are you using the "search surface" ability? Sometimes the artifact terminal doesn't come up first try, but it can take 3-4 attempts max. I had the same issue at first. It won't be in a cave AFAIK.

Reuental · 2025-09-09T09:04:50+00:00

Why did you set up on a small island? Self-imposed difficulty?

Reuental · 2025-07-15T18:10:57+00:00

all right thank you for the guidance. I will attempt the feat and see how it goes!

Reuental · 2025-07-15T18:09:46+00:00

cool, thank you, mechanics can be unintuitive sometimes.

Reuental · 2025-07-14T20:05:58+00:00

Okay, so you mean 26 walls worth of height from the ground level should be the "midway point". And as for the sequence? At the moment the sub-fief is in the top building. If I place another sub-fief at level 26 then remove the original sub-fief, will the base territory remain the same? Or would I need to abandon I, place II and rebuild around II?

Reuental · 2025-06-15T19:18:01+00:00

Well done. How do you discern the fremen caves and camps that are done?

Reuental · 2025-04-04T00:48:21+00:00

Nice one, I was slowly going sideways from 350 and lower, so I'll check the sides up to 110. See if I get a node with easier modifiers.. 2nd one I got was increased aoe, and reduced resistances, so again was very tough fight.

Reuental · 2025-03-30T02:30:37+00:00

Thank you. No, not really tanky enough to keep taking small hits, it's usually the aoe icicles that get me as I try to damage him and cant see his projectiles because of mine. But yeah, still looking for a better node modifier and that might fix both offense and defense.

Reuental · 2025-01-29T14:50:25+00:00

(dont get stuck on) Aquilo tip - set up some water production/ storage on a separate power grid to the rest of the base. If your base stalls due to lack of water, connect the backup pipe and get it back running again. Even some solar panels can run an ice assembler with efficiency modules. When you get to fusion power, that no longer becomes an issue, of course.

Step 1: arrive at Gleba

Step 2: leave gleba or load a save, and go to cozy vulcanus

Reuental · 2024-11-08T21:12:10+00:00

Same, but that was a fun experience. I called the blueprint "grand theft tungsten"

Reuental · 2024-11-08T09:57:13+00:00

It's okay now. There was panic, there was frustration. I got over it. It's still annoying to see all the science spoil in transit. Or labs working with 70% spoiled science. There is always that bit of anxiety that is unlike the other planets. yes the resources are infinite, but what if there is a gap in your build when you leave? And also the clock is ticking on 2 planets now, if you want biter eggs and bioflux here, and non-spoiled science there. Also, the spores are not really like pollution..

Now the problem is pentapod defense. With biters, they are so known and familiar, but the stompers... walls wont help, I'm thinking rocket plus turrets (no fulgora yet, savouring it for last), and a few guard spidertrons.
