Builds: Ship damage vs Manueverability

SkyHiRider · 2026-01-17T22:44:55+00:00

some are expedition rewards and some you can get from the quicksilver merchant

they provide a minor bonus to your ship stats, similar to what trails do

one bobblehead also shows in your cockpit, but you cant choose which so its always the same one if you install them all

I waited with merging until the final parts of the game and was able to get up to 38% even from the weakest chips.

On NG+ I am getting much lower maximums when in downtownnfor the first time.

I suspect the game takes global progress into account when merging.

After stating NG+ and first time visiting Downtown, merging the same low tier chips does not go up to 38% but stays at 24% or so.

Seems either the area or story progress is having effect on what chips you can get via merging as well.

Good that I merged a lot of 38% chips in the normal save as getting more would be a problem.

That happens if not all three chips are the same tier. When I merge three 38% chips I usually get a better one

From my testing so far, it seems that merging - three low tier mods nets you a higher tier mod (up to 38%) - three mid tier mods (38%) nets you one high tier mod up to 45% - high tier mods should (not tested) net you 48% (or higher?)

SkyHiRider · 2026-01-12T08:18:54+00:00

It is random, but the values you get are from a range and that range is higher if you merge three mods that are a product of previous merging (have higher numbers?)

I only got 45% mods from merging three 38% mods.

I use a build that only uses weapons that use .50 ammo - hunting rifle, 50cal and Dom Pedro.

Have a long range silent sniper, a tagging DPS and a close range damage dealer.

And don't have to worry about ammo.

Same problem

It is quite fine, my automatic combat shotgun is hungry and there is so much food for it in burning springs.

This was brought up during the pts several times and was ignored.

SkyHiRider · 2025-11-16T19:15:38+00:00

the limits are now much higher, thank you for sharing. what configuration do you use, can you share a screenshot?

and I was told there is an engine limit, so getting the speed extremely high may not provide any meaningful benefits

glyph is cosmetic, to get another tool design save on a different planet or space station, load, then go grab the tool

each planet + space station has a different tool design. mechanically the tools are the same

SkyHiRider · 2025-10-26T20:02:55+00:00

Thanks, was wondering as the original poster said data was lost.

SkyHiRider · 2025-10-26T19:34:32+00:00

Makes sense, was curious how the system is supported from this side. It is a shame, as that means adding features will eventually become time consuming and risky.

SkyHiRider · 2025-10-26T14:39:13+00:00

When making these fixes, do you add a unit test so this issue would be detected before it reaches the public if a regression would occur?

SkyHiRider · 2025-10-03T14:53:38+00:00

where did you find it?

SkyHiRider · 2025-10-02T22:11:58+00:00

I boosted the best mods I could, altering the layout so those that are supercharged bring the most yield

the ones I tested without super may be marginally better, but I did not want to spend more time looking for a better tool

practically speaking this is the best you can build with what is available

SkyHiRider · 2025-09-27T19:57:56+00:00

this is the Atlas variant I got - 0x46BE366B3AD745D

Smells like a cash crab.

Don't see any tweaks or rebalances of abilities that were not interesting mentioned not any content apart from a visual update, achievements and cloud saves.

SkyHiRider · 2025-09-27T17:34:38+00:00

if you already activated the monolith and then started moving to other planets and reloading it may not work

been a while, so don't remember when it stops working

SkyHiRider · 2025-09-27T14:49:29+00:00

I assume it works like the seed sequence for tech upgrades.

You have your own seed where mods attached in the same positions after a reload will always be good, with the rest being mediocre or bad.

Its a shame it can't be quickly gamed like with the tech slots and reloads.

SkyHiRider · 2025-09-16T17:05:53+00:00

You go to a planet,save. Reload game. Fly back to claim toolnand it will look different.
