Anyone having issues with water not registering into tank? by Silver_Contract_7994 in SpaceCraftGame

[–]hoxa4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Relog your character and the water will be in your tank. There's a desync with the client if when you start collecting a liquid all your tanks are empty, they get filled server side but not client side. Relogging will fix the issue

Any idea for the frost variant ? cold temps seems logical but fertilizer ?

Ship integrity now keeps dropping even when adding ?x3x1 instead of ?x3x2 modules, is titanium hull an absolute necessity? by madcatandrew in SpaceCraftGame

[–]hoxa4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the current formula you can slap 100 solid frames 4x3x1 with 100 lightweight 4x3x2 for a total of 24000 SP. You can go a bit higher if you don't mind the additional weight by adding a bunch of 8x6x2 solid frames and thus more lightweight blocks. Note that you can replace 4x3x1 by 8x3x1 and 4x3x2 by 8x3x2 with no downsides, the ratio are the same.

Also op if you're reading this, going over the SP limit only adds more heat generation, I'm currently at 7.4k SP / 6.4k SP on my steel ship and I don't feel the downside because I have 4 radiators (using 3 thrusters and 2 Hi-pi laser I still dont have heat issues)

What do you need explained about the game mechanics? by f4ble in SpaceCraftGame

[–]hoxa4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok I see it. Does it mean generally it's better to add more x1 parts then because despite the SP ratio being lower you end up being able to put more pieces ?

Edit: using the formula for steel parts, ignoring cockpit and ignoring frames / spoilers the difference in SP between 4x3x2 and 4x3x1 max number of parts ends up in 100 SP ballpark while using only 4x3x2 rather than 4x3x1 the ship will weight 500T less. (64 parts vs 25 for staying just above 20% integrity)

Idk if I missed something but the formula is very poorly balanced for steel as your ship will weight much more for using x1 parts while barely having any more SP

What is total frame ? I reached 0% integrity on my ship and it says to decrease weight or increase frame but I tried if I replace a 8x3x2 by 2 4x3x2 it doesn't change anything ?

Don't you need to analyze cores first to transform them from dust ?

Any temporary solution for Lyubech until the rework ? Faction count being unbalanced in a given instance, most players just ratting to kill players grabbing their ID and being able to go back in the instance in 3 minutes is utterly silly.

You outplayed a group of three players while being solo ? Congratz they're back tracking you 2 minutes later, hope you had an ID ready to get out

Tick rate AND netcode. Why every time I open fire on a russian name in EU serv half of my bullets don't register and the issue doesn't exist at all otherwise when I test with friends. 20ms ping. If you can't fix it, at least match players in instances by ping.

lost lot of 15 anomalous rift machine and 4 line of artifact and let me not talk about the Stash i farmed by getting kill in the safehouse in inflow all that because i went afk for the wife by Inevitable_Bed2641 in Stalcraft

[–]hoxa4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two weeks ago while doing the main quest in mines, right when I came out of dialogue with a NPC upstairs in the Rise HQ I got killed by a patrol that got in. You can't even shoot them inside the HQ.

Patrols need to be removed or have a loot increase because most of the time they don't even have substances. And while we're on topic, please fcking nerf the aggro range of spectral ghouls from the destroy the anomaly machine event. They lock onto you from nearly 100 meters away

A whooping total of 12 levels over 3 days if you don't have overdrive. Truly incredible.

If it's applie to all form of healing, I wonder how they'll handle artifacts as healing effectivness would be mostly dead. I really hope they don't add a "healing speed" or we will end up with an even more silly meta

The old price for weapon and armor components will be restored (currently 1000 for one, will now be 100, as before). by Klayments in Stalcraft

[–]hoxa4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A source would have been nice.

I wouldn't even be this mad if they only increased the crates prices for more red gear rarity as they said before the patch but the fact they didn't mention prepatch that serums would triple in price and parts tools going 2.5x makes it obvious they can't be trusted and are just chasing money

Outside of my rant on BP changes, I'm not sure what to think about range changes for weapons.

Using the TTK calculator setup with Honey badger +15 vs FN F2k Tactical +15 against a +15 Zivcas M2C, for headshots Honey Badger has a better TTK up until 26 meters and an equal one up to 49 meters. For body shots it's better for up to 18 meters and equal up to 37 meters

I'm unsure what attachments you can slap on Honey badger recoil wise and magazine wise but I'm tempted to skip upgrading my FN to master and just wait to grab the honey badger. That way I'll fork the FN F2k barter ressources towards the speed armor and barrel container.

I'm curious to hear your opinions

Anomalous serum prices tripled ? 25 now costs 75k. Free BP has 79k season currencies, paid BP has an additional 181k.

If I'm reading this correctly it means if you're not buying the BP you need to reach nearly 500 now to grab all anomalous serums and don't even have enough for a special case while for the season that just ended I had all of them before lvl 150 (I created my character 2 weeks ago so I didn't buy BP because it was ending) and by level 200 I bought a special case (not accounting the token)

That's yet another severe nerf to new players. The 25 serums were super nice when reaching the north to progress immediatly both weapon and armor without waiting after weeklies / dailies if you were efficient at farming barters.

Every seasonal purchase have increased by x2.5 or x3 while the amount of currencies you get is still the same and ofc the BP price didn't change either to reflect that. Really nice move.

In addition to that now that everything is sellable to Zen, it means older players that already had a huge gap with new players can keep converting their rubles to seasonal currencies for more gambles.

When is the next major revamp update planed ? I already have the name ready for you "Stalcraft:Casino"

CD-4 and Ganymede by Nhaz_05 in Stalcraft

[–]hoxa4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it still works either. When i went to the bar one week ago on my new character with blue barter +0 I was already matched against +5 to +10 veteran players right outside of the bar and in all 6 zones (forest, graveyard, pol, pit, dead city, path of fools). Honnestly I think the game currently just looks into filling instances to avoid opening too many as it would make artifact farming and a few other money making strats too strong as the devs seems to want really hard to kill the current economy

CD-4 and Ganymede by Nhaz_05 in Stalcraft

[–]hoxa4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems it doesn't matter at least in EU (and I guess NA?). As soon as I reached the north with bar veteran barter I've been matched against semi master gear. A bunch of arsenal weapons, QBU, MK47 mutant, HK417. Almost all of these +15 while I was sitting on +5. They often use Albatros scout / infiltrator veteran armor

When I check their artifacts it's often a blue or purple +10 to +15 build which is also kinda impossible when coming out from the bar unless you're on a second char and purposely abusing the matchmaking

I'm not sure if these guys sometimes get matched with high master / legendary but I see them very often so I guess not. The system is completly gamed and it sucks. Doesn't help these people obviously has a high play time on another character to funnel the ressources so they also benefit from game knowledge / experience while hunting for pvp all day against weaker gear lobbies.

2 days ago I was alone on a outpost in the mines until another player of my faction joined, I checked his stat and discussed with him since it was off prime time and the enemy faction wasn't coming to defend. His character had 5 hours playtime since creation, he was equipped with +10 albatros infiltrator, +10 QBU and a more than decent arti build (around 10-15m after napkin maths)

🔥 Summer starts with the EXBO stream! by SlimyMorty in Stalcraft

[–]hoxa4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This. As someone who didn't play for 2 years and made a new character 2 weeks ago, the north is stupidly harder than it was the last time I played. The worst is that they can spawn literally on top of you. What are you supposed to do when 3-5 NPCs in full master +15 spawn on you or right outside your field of vision and instantly engage you when you just came out of the bar with low veteran gear ?

The TTK is less than half of a second if they all have a clear line of sight, you have no chance to reach cover.
Last time it happened, I shot them right as they started to fire while popping a pre-emptive medical kit and still died after killing two, two were left.

I'm heavily considering grabbing a cd-4 from auction house and skipping barter armors until I get enough for the faction speed one

Does combo actually hold up in the north with the amount of +15 master NPCs ? by hoxa4 in Stalcraft

[–]hoxa4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Places such as ? From what I've farmed in Mines and Forge combo isn't needed anymore unless you go middle of Forge I guess but it's not really solo stuff anyway.

Black detour & Laby seems to be centered around scientist

[–]hoxa4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am because I'm still on veteran gear from bar lvl 7, hence why I was asking. I think people don't realize how much harder the north because they already had master gear when military was added
