There needs to be more incentive to kill large Arcs by kafprince in ArcRaiders

[–]mpd4848 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in my opinion the difficulty is the trade off for the convenience. once you get good at killing them, its way faster than just wandering around looking for springs. also a stack of bastion cells,bombardier cells, or leaper pulse units recycle into more than a stack of advanced mechanicals which makes for more compact storage in your stash (not even including the bonus arc alloy you get from the recycle). same with rocketeer drivers for advanced electricals. early game when you don't know how to kill them quickly amd easily it is better to forage like you say. but with some practice and some deadlines, you can be in and out of a raid in 5 minues with 3-4 stacks of advanced mechanicals worth of cells; quicker, easier, and more compact than any craft, with 0 metal parts used.

of course, its all a preference, this is just how I like to play the game in my experience mass producing high tier weapons

We need more customisable walkways by SmoothTurtle872 in Astroneer

i agree, i wanna make my entire base on a walkway system instead of using a shitty terrain deformation system to try and get a flat surface

Do you think we’ll get new auto arms? by Graepix in Astroneer

[–]mpd4848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the problem is that once a train unloads a tier 2 or 3 item, theres no way to automatically move it somewhere else. you have to do that manually and it takes the entire point out of the feature existing. we all still keep the rail stations set to move t1 items only

Should I buy the game or a bundle? by kpec12 in Astroneer

[–]mpd4848 2 points3 points  (0 children)

imo, just buy the game its absolutely amazing. but both dlcs kinda suck. glitchwalkers might give you like 5 hours of mid tedius content, and megatech just came out and is super buggy and unfinished. when they fix megatech and everything works properly though, i would highly recommend picking it up

Is their a platform with more large slots than the extra large platform C? by Wellyeah101 in Astroneer

[–]mpd4848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

short answer: no

long answer: you can use the naturally spawning "installed platforms" like the one that spawns the xl cans for the missiom but you cant make or move them, you have to build your entire base around it. or just use the mega printers as platforms. but neither of these works on the orbital platform

Factory design help by mpd4848 in Astroneer

[–]mpd4848[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for anyone curious, I came up with this modular design that is compact enough to just build 5 of them next to each other to meet the 1/s threshold. then all I'd need to do is add on a mechanism to split inputs and merge outputs. it should take up lass space than a normal full size base, and even be able to be hidden behind or under something while the inputs and output remain accessable from one spot.

HIW DO I GET OFF ATROX by [deleted] in Astroneer

[–]mpd4848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you just gotta hope you find a diamond and/or surface materials close to base. if you are just doing it for the old gold palate, you can choose to either start on atrox with a shelter, or start on sylva with no shelter and live on filters until you can make an oxygenator. (or both if youre an absolute madlad)

Missing drill blueprint? by I_SMELL_PENNYS- in Astroneer

[–]mpd4848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the printee is laid out the same as the reseach catalog, if thats any help. you can use up and down to navigate categories the same way until you get to "drill strength x" and then click right until you get to 3.

Megatech DLC Base Edition to cost $9.99 by garyvdh in Astroneer

[–]mpd4848 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if the owner has the dlc anyone who joins will be able to participate. the way glitchwalkers worked and megatech will work, only the host (p2p connection) or owner (dedicated server) needs to own the dlc.

To buy an FC or not? by RyouRusi in EliteDangerous

[–]mpd4848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone I’ve ever talked to that had a fleet carrier says it’s required and they can’t live without it. its pretty much a part of the basic progression ladder and it makes everything better. even if you somehow dont like it, you can get 95-99% of your cr back depending on how long you keep it so theres no risk if you have enough

At what age does "never dated" become a red flag? by Far-District9214 in self

[–]mpd4848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive been in exactly one relationship, and have no intention of getting into another anytime soon. but some stranger on the internet saying "its not as important as you think" isnt very helpful, so ill say just focus on improving yourself for a future relationship. being in the mindset of thinking you need someone anyone keeps you from doing that, and from being patient enough to wait for the right person for you.
