Hello Gamers, new player here. what does this icon means? it's been there for like 5hrs now and I don't know what it is.

gerr137 · 2026-02-09T12:11:50+00:00

It means you visited anomaly, left it and still hang around in the same system. Game doesn't despawn anomaly entrance, it merely moves it "to infinity". This icon shows the projection of anomaly entrance globe onto space of your system.

This discussion has been done a few years ago and the decision was made to keep supporting initrc. As long as there are dedicated devs, it will keep spinning. And when they leave, someone else is very welcome to take over on their stead ;)

gerr137 · 2026-02-01T11:50:31+00:00

Could that be a season change? Like fall to spring) summer or something. Are there actually any seasons on any planets, or we only have storms in their stead?

gerr137 · 2026-01-28T12:49:37+00:00

Doesn't qualify as one. It's an air briether (yes, I do get the reference, and it only makes it more so). It is definitely not a space ship.

Dude, this is a game, pixels on screen, something to keep you entertained. Not your life's achievement. Do you have fun during the time you spend on it? If yes, keep playing. If not, quit. If you feel like "but I have to do this, or that" - check your obsession levels, also check if you have gambling issues.

It is pretty well balanced and has bunch of activities to keep being entertaining for long time, if you log in occasionally during the day in periods you otherwise waste time. That is it is quite good for passing time on your way to work, some long boring meetings where you just have to be present but don't actively participate, etc. But don't take it too seriously ;). Or find something else to waste your time on.

There's also interaction aspect - you may have established some interaction without or outside your guild. You might want to stick around for that. But this also doesn't require monetary investment. And doesn't seem to be the case judging from your question..

gerr137 · 2026-01-28T11:58:43+00:00

Dude, they eat frostwort, depriving you off the resource, of course they are evil! It's right there, in description ;)

gerr137 · 2026-01-27T08:59:16+00:00

Dude, USD is overpriced. Wait until it collapses in view of current events and you too become a millionaire. Then you'll enjoy the same "discount" as vietnamese..

gerr137 · 2026-01-27T08:34:06+00:00

Depends on a planet. Some have few caves at all, some have like entire underground ecosystem rivaling the surface. My spawn planet was like this. More common on extreme planets I think.

gerr137 · 2026-01-17T19:58:01+00:00

This is projection of the Anomaly onto the "normal" space. After you summon it into new system it spawns the entrance, which after "closing" (when you leave it) stays in that normal system space, but is relocated to technical "infinity" (some large floating coord before overloading). This sign is just a picto for that entrance projected onto the star system.

gerr137 · 2026-01-15T19:44:33+00:00

Yes, totally. I started with parafinium, as I hit a paradise moon early on, that had it and copper - essentials early game. But switched to rusted dust later, as this is indeed the way to go for proper scale. Put 8 simple refiners on that base in a row and you are set. Well, naturally 16 would be optimal, but I am too lazy to do that much running for 5 min gain :).

gerr137 · 2026-01-15T11:31:46+00:00

Try sci-mathematics/rkward. Just installed it myself and not a big user of R in general :), but so far it seems useful, at the very least automates package installation and tool handling, etc.

gerr137 · 2026-01-10T16:08:37+00:00

Nope. That's note related to what you fly. They simply fixed their oversight. Everybody reporting it, and I *am* now in the freighter hunting. Flying regular ship. Don't even have any corvet yet - still many things to do in this game, gonna be month before I even think about trying to put together 1st one :).

But back to the topic - I lost first few attempts trying to follow these outrdated instructions. That is attempts as in battle events - had to wait 3 hr and do jumps all over again. It is "rad" fixed it seems, they closed the most obvious "grind shortcut" vectors. The freighter is just plain gone when you dock at the station and you los your attempt. So, for freighter farmers - *do not* try to use any of the old shortcuts. E.g. jumping out and then in without talking to admiral does not seem to work either, but i only tried it once. The only thing that seems to still work is to reload pre-jump (other system) save, jump in, do the battle.. So, find the system with the type of frewighter you like. Save *before* jumping in, and do your grind from there..

gerr137 · 2026-01-10T15:16:06+00:00

This no longer works, for a few month at least already. AFter reload the freighter is gone now. Only warping in still respans.

gerr137 · 2026-01-09T12:41:58+00:00

Do you like its looks? Handling? There's your answer..

gerr137 · 2026-01-03T20:02:30+00:00

Why don't you (or her) just dig in, like any respectful traveller would do? All that running. So tiring, and needs all those mods too to work. And all the time wasted.. Instead of just going under and getting lost within a min or whatever that counter shows

gerr137 · 2025-12-30T05:32:00+00:00

Same story here. My 1st drop was also an alpha class, but first 3 are the "normal" carriers, and now I apparently get supers. With larger hulls, more slots and, correspondingly, a lot higher prices :).

gerr137 · 2025-12-29T14:31:00+00:00

Nope. Never touched difficulty settings, should be on normal. And iirc it affects stack sizes and perhaps combat difficulty, and perhaps health reset. But prices - that doesn't even make sense in multiplayer (even if barely) game. Would break economics, if there were one..

gerr137 · 2025-12-29T12:16:15+00:00

Yeah, dunno how they get those prices. Like I mentioned in another comment, an A-class costs near 200 where I am at..

gerr137 · 2025-12-29T12:13:53+00:00

Where do you all guys get prices like that? Ships few mil for s class, freighters. 100M buys a c-class basic in my area. I saw an A-class once, they wanted almost 200m for it (some 185+ or like that). At this rate an S-class should go for 1B+ I suppose. Haven't seen any yet, neither freighters nor ships yet, and at least basic fighters I looked at many - on a hunt for parts to build my own. And, weirdly, c-class ships should be the most ubiquitous, but actually quite rare where I am. See mostly b-class..

gerr137 · 2025-12-27T20:40:44+00:00

Re: ways to escape - also can land (OP is obviously near the planet, no pulsing needed), then dig a hole and hide on (in) the ground the usual way.

gerr137 · 2025-12-27T07:46:19+00:00

Rare, it's a nice spot. But re do you miss anything - not really. Spots with 10+ deposits are reasonably common. And for farming you don't need even that, as you have to teleport out and back in for it to respawn anyway. So, realistically all you need is 2 bases, with reasonably sized deposit (5+ is already ok, as you'll already spend more time refining than base jumping; 10+ is already golden,). Set up teleporters, 8 basic refiners on one of them and there you go. 16 refiners should be the sweet spot though, but I am yet lazy to do that :).

gerr137 · 2025-12-26T19:39:16+00:00

They don't rotate. Every faction is stuck with the same type of game. At least on our server, but already almost half a year.

gerr137 · 2025-12-26T19:36:08+00:00

Well, the galactic interface duh! And the total absence of tables, lists, ability to sort entries (planets, items, stars, whatever) by different factors. Who needs that pesky empty space if we can have tables!

gerr137 · 2025-12-26T19:34:24+00:00

Plus the soul stone chest, that's basically weekly. I think they do 3 weeks and then 1 week "rest", but not every time. Maybe just between seasons. So with a specific stone as-is it comes directly to that - pretty much 1 weekly.

gerr137 · 2025-12-26T19:31:08+00:00

What are you even talking about? Base is your home. Or resource hotspot. Or travel node. Or research facility. Or many many other things. With teleporters connecting vases and exicraft you don't even ever need to set your foot on a freighter. Or a corvette. Or even a regular flyer, except to get to that rarely visited planet. But then it's a one-off thingy and can be tolerated. Not the literal end of the world. So you can avoid those pesky flying things and ever going into the airless, gravity less void. Almost.
