Just did it. I'm not sure it does make you harvest faster. It looks like just a Mele weapon but it's a socket wrench.
Still cool

Harvester upgrades are done in the skill tree.
The tools or hardware are a melee type that constructors (maybe others?) can get bonuses with.

Awesome!
Hey if it saves someone else from making the same mistake then I'll be ok with it.
Don't be like me GAF!
it's been in alpha for like 2 years, hell... I've had acceess it for a year at least. I feel like they want 5 steps backwards from the same game I played 6 months ago.. The UI is so tedious to navigate now.

The UI just needs a little ajustment so that it's the same across all screens. It's weird how l2 isn't the same across all menus.
Also the tutorial needs to be WAY more in depth.

Yes is basically guess how to play. It doesn't explain the survivors stuff well and how they are basically armor you equip in other games.
Ability is a godsend but you can only see around you and only a few inches (ie I didn't see a chest above me but I heard it), you can upgrade the range a tiny bit. It's balanced imo
Only crossplay on ps4/pc sadly

So the $60 version comes with a friend code? That gives them the $40 standard founders?

I think it's the 80-90usd one that comes with a free 40usd one. Whatever the tier above 60.
Bought. Game has some menu's going on. You guys weren't kidding.
Any reason not to chose this rare Ramirez over the uncommon one? I figured since I'm only heading into the second mission it would be best to start leveling up the rarer character right (wait, do characters even level up).
And holy christ at this skill tree and the fact that there's like 5 sets of them.

What is the tutorial mission? I just built my first base and still no option for codes
Edit ok it says I got the extra copy... But I don't see where to send it from
Yeah go for the rarer character always, they level up further then the previous versions.
A rare will last you a good while until you get a legendary version with good rolls.

You earn hero XP that you can spend at your leisure, so it doesn't matter what hero you're using at the time. The hero XP you earn can be spent on whatever hero you want, regardless of the hero you choose to play as.

As my daily games, I might have to drop 1-2, don't gave that much time, Paladins and Warframe might be just logging in bonuses, other 3 put some time into them

Yeah. Check mission rewards. Sometimes they give gizmos.
The other way is to just go around open every toolbox + glowing chest you see.

Day 2: still having fun, though the team of 4 always wipes the floor with the mobs. Solo home base defense is the best so far, trap and defender placement is crucial.
Goddamn this game is complicated with is menus and inventory and shit though. Like, I can see all the schematics in the armory, but I can't see what shit I actually have in inventory until I go to the storm base menu? Is that right?

The difficulty really ramps up near the end of the first area.
I'm excited to see what the next area brings.

Guess I need to start playing my outlander.
Where do I go to consistently get materials to craft uncommon weapons (blast powder, copper, etc). I get it as quest rewards but is there somewhere i can go to farm it? Right now I'm reluctant to use any uncommon weapons since I don't have the materials to craft a new one after they get used up. Rare weapons are a whole different matter. I can't even come close to crafting them so why would I use them up in the early missions when common weapons work just fine.
Wow, they really need to do something about more control over placed building objects. Just lost a solo defend fort on the last wave because the wave came in a place where I didn't bother to place objects because the spawn area was not as close. Of course in that instance it spamed a crap ton of those chucking monsters so my best work was ruined, now I have to farm for metal again.

I feel you on that lol. So many games where I just log in to get my daily stuff.
I'm really enjoying this so far and even though I "paid" for it, I can see it being very popular when it goes F2P. My favorite thing about it is probably the art style, honestly - I love killing husks in the suburbs.
Yah. Had an easier time running a sniper just hip firing than an AR doing ADS kill/bullet and resource wise.
I only used handcannon and sniper until tier 3 during alpha.
Shotguns and AR are great but not until later tiers when crowd control becomes a must in users arsenals. Rocket and Grenade Launchers are fantastic but the resources to make them get insane, as does the ammo cost.
Personally a lot of people from alpha wanted ammo to be a straight up resource cost from metal but it's yet to fall on epics ears.

I'm nervous to try defense grid 6. Once I pass that I'm off to the second area.
Even keeping my the current mat requirement works if they increase the amount of bullets you get and ammo you can carry by like 2 or 3x.
As Sony wanted to give me a refund (As I already played the tutorial and already got a trophy), I did play a few rounds on the weekend alone. It's really a fun game, but I'm struggling with the UI and the grinding a lot. I don't have a problem with some grind, but I'm often missing really basic parts for traps etc. However has anyone lost items? I had a light machine gun that I used until level 4 and then switch to a shotgun as I wanted to test it. In the moment I had equipped the shotgun, my light machine gun was gone. 
Is this a common issue?
And also.. when on a mission I see so many more weapons and even found a legendary shotgun there. But when out of a mission I can't find the weapon and many others. Is there no way to see my inventory? And didn't the game state that you get blueprints when picking up weapons? (Because that's also the way you share items with others?)
I can't restart missions right? As the game is ... console bound I at least wanted to let my son try some missions and the tutorial would've been nice as a start.

The touch pad brings up your inventory, and I'm pretty sure going to the map, you can select stuff you've already done. I did the van quest twice tonight because I needed an upgrade point to progress the quest line.
Weapons break down after the durability is used. When that happens they are gone but if you have the blueprint you can craft a new ones.As Sony wanted to give me a refund (As I already played the tutorial and already got a trophy), I did play a few rounds on the weekend alone.

A weapon does and a blueprint is different items. Things in your inventory can not be viewed outside a mission unless I'm missing something. Vault is viewable but not person inventory.
You can craft a gun and drop it but to my knowledge you can't drop a blueprint.
Most traps you get via missions or pinatas which you get by completing the homebase missions and challenges/daily.
Good to hear that you can replay missions. Thanks.
About the inventory... I can bring it up on the main menu too? Guess that would be too obvious for me or maybe I'm blind and didn't see the option^^ ThanksBut the weapon was still in the green durability area, so that wasn't the problem. But good to know that blueprint / weapons are different. The official videos make it sound like you can just share items with others and they then get the blueprint for this item too.
Thanks for the information. Makes sense. Still feeling a bit overwhelmed a bit, so many things to check. Felt similar when starting with warframe
As long as he can read well, I think he'd be ok. I really don't even understand all of the systems though, all of the NPC defenders and stuff is very convoluted to me. But I think he'd have fun even if he ignored maximizing that stuff.

I'm finally getting the hang of things.
I like to occasionally run solo missions in the forest maps now, look for every cave and gather as much coal and other minerals as I can.
I'm swimming in blast powder.
Im also finding a fuck tonne of chests now that I'm getting used to the noise they make when your close to them. I open around 5 of them on each map.

Whaaaat? It is crossplay between PS4 and PC or we just have access to the same profile on both?

Though I just searched and found some Reddit topics that say that crossplay between PC <-> PS4 is indeed working.
Got to test that.
