Gotten my survivor maxed out. Still a 43 slot ship though. But I want to start exploring again.

Luckily found an Atlas v3 pass recipe on that planet before I left. Nice going away present after how long I was on that world.

 

[Arkham]

Yes, I'm aware. Frenzied sentianls and Extreme Radiation planet. Spent outside a shelter the entire time.

Are you past the longest time you previously set?

 

[SynthFetish]

Are you past the longest time you previously set?

No, that's why I'm sure it's still broken. Last patch was supposed to fix it so it does not reset to 0 each time you leave.

So for the extream condition planet I got 3 stars level but leaved the planet

Now on new planet ... is it true that the counter resets to cero and now have to wait the same time used on original planet when reached 3 level plus the extra time to reach new 4 level?

 

[geomon]

Found a 48 slot ship but it was ugly, so I left it. I think I'll just stick with my 47 slotter. Though I do need to find those v2 and v3 Atlas passes.

 

[curb]

Well that's a bummer.

Spoiler

Got to the last Atlas station only to find out I didn't actually have all my stones. Apparently I either sold one or somehow missed one. I know it doesn't mean much since there's very little difference on screen but still, I was working towards that.

Do I just sell the leftovers now?

Pre-edit: I did a little checking online.

Spoiler

So now my only option to get to the next galaxy is black holes to the center?

Edit: bonus aggressive station entrance

Random question: based on my previous inquiry about anomalies before, I decided to trek back to the Atlas Interface to make sure I'd gotten everything from it, not being quite sure what this meant in practice. Turns out it means more warp cells and a second Atlas stone. Is this a thing I should be able to do? Could I just go back to another planet, dick around for a bit, and come back for yet another stone?

I mean, I'm not sure why I would, besides selling the excess, but it's weird that I can do this, right?

(also, I still can't find that anomaly, not even on the difficult-to-navigate galactic map, so maybe it was a glitch.)

This was supposed to be fixed in the 1.07 patch, but still seems to be the case.

Grabbing the 48 slot ship will slightly increase your chances of continuing to find crashed 48 slot ships, fwiw.

[Zombie James]

New pet peeve: when NPCs offer you a new multitool you can't disassemble what you already have. Had to turn down a two-slot upgrade because of it.

 

[Loudninja]

My lord I went awhile without a new multi tool went to a planet got 3 new ones.

I got one of those cool looking green biotech ones but turned it down because I didnt want to disassemble. Johnny5 doesnt want to disassemble!!

Mines 24 slots with all the best upgrades. It would be purely for cosmetic reasons at this point and mine does look pretty badass. Give me one that has a gravity gun option or something and Ill toss mine out in a heartbeat.

I'd love to swap for a biotech one if I came across one. I have four slots to go still, but if I can't disassemble the upgrades I already have it'd feel like a waste. Well, unless I happened to be on a really resource-rich planet.

Right now I'm looking forward to finishing my exosuit and focussing my credits towards a new ship. That's my biggest need right now.

 

[Nostremitus]

I have an 18 slot multitool... I've added every enhancement that doesn't involve the boltcaster...

I honestly see no reason to continue upgrading. I've not run into anything I needed the boltcaster for.

Haha! I ran into that situation today. I found the little tadpole ship (48) AND it was PINK. I think that was rock (Gek) bottom.

New pet peeve: when NPCs offer you a new multitool you can't disassemble what you already have. Had to turn down a two-slot upgrade because of it.

I tried that too and the only thing you can do is forgo the offered tools and stick to the Vykeen compartments. Yeah, you have to pay for it but at least those slots don't reset after you back out and disassemble your existing tool.

I actually gave up my 48 slot ship for a 38 slot because I liked how it looked better lol. Kinda regret that now.

 

[WordAssassin]

I kinda like that the majority of the animals I'm seeing have a similar body type (cow/deer/panther) because holy fuck when I stumble across something truly strange does it make it memorable.

I was on an ice planet a few days ago with lots of deer-like animals and while I was wandering far from my ship during a storm, I came up over a hill and in the distance the silhouette of a creepy as fuck t-rex looking creature with a blob head and stalk eyes and long spindly fingers reared up and roared and I just about crapped myself.

Then today I was on Planet Trundle (named for its many trundling creatures like the Trundle Bear, Trundle Dog, and Trundle Weasel and their variants such as the Finned Trundle Cat and Worm-Nosed Trundle Weasel) when suddenly I got attacked from behind by a worm-like creature with two long thin legs and what looked like a hatchet blade for a bottom jaw. I can't remember what I named it, Knife-Jaw something.

So if anyone comes across Planet Trundle (haven't decided what to name the system yet) and its two moons, Trundle and Trundle III, watch your back, not everything there is friendly!!

 

[SolidusDave]

The thing is, once you build a good number of upgrades you don't need that much space.
There is no reason for hording all kinds of elements other than saving up for a certain upgrade you want. I only keep some common and uncommon materials in my ship as a backup or if an important part would potentially needed to be repaired or crafted again. But even that I could sell as I'm not diving into black holes nor do I feel like switching ship/weapon.

A couple of robot dogs might change that.

 

[eyeball_kid]

How are y'all naming your systems? It seems like many of you are going for the jokey planets, but aside from the one person using hobo code for every system I haven't heard. Myself, I'm naming systems after the liquor or cocktails that the nebulas remind me of. So, things like Miimosa, Absinthe, Bloudimare. I try to make planets and systems sound sci-fi even if the names are silly.

 

[Loudninja]

Found this glorious green planet with purple water so awesome looking

 

[LookAtMeGo]

I only name planets that have something really cool on them and base the name off of the discovery. I had a system that was teeming with life and rare shit. I called it Abundance.

I've been using the Purity Ring naming convention: slam two or more vaguely descriptive words together into a hopefully poetic but likely just awkward portmanteau. I've been trying to get more abstract with my naming, but I still like to let people know about important features of the planet they're on. Caliumcaustichine is probably the "best" name I've come up with so for (planet has Calium, corrosive rain, and aggressive sentinels), but Cubehoard rolls off the tongue better and describes the only thing you really need to know about that planet (collect all the vortex cubes man).

That said, the last system I was in, I was there for so little time that I ended up calling the one planet I landed on New Scotland because it was cold and rainy, and the system Minnesota for no apparent reason whatsoever.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

Fixed my "ship off planet" glitch. Had to explore around a bit but finally stumbled on a landing pad. Had to wait for three different traders to land and take off before I could finally call mine. After that treachery, I immediately set about replacing it. My multitool and exosuit are both maxed out, but my ship was only a 27-slotter. I've been spamming a Gek tower and I'm up to 32. I may bounce around a couple more systems, see if I can't find a good resource farm; bouncing between broken crashed ships gets old fast.

 

[TheCochese]

Right now with the Gek crashed ships all I am finding are my old ships. Lol.

 

[geomon]

Oh man, I came across an amazing looking multi-tool tonight. It had what looked like monster teeth on the barrel and it was covered in fur. It only had 23 slots though.

 

[Poetaster]

Does anyone know exactly how large the pool of different multitools is for a single system? Is it a set number or perhaps a range that varies from system to system?

 

[Hahs]

Space is weird AF.

No up - no down, unless you're positioned relative to something...yeah it's weird but cool AF 2.

 

[Nostremitus]

Nah, I have my grenade launcher damage and radius maxed out. I can take a robot dog out with one well aimed shot... It usually takes me two, though...

I've started naming mine with descriptors of the planet...

Like Tall mountains and Sandy patches, or Hot as Hell, things like that.

Yeah, I do try for some descriptiveness on planets as well. For instance, if you ever come across Wurmhel, I hope it will let you know you should just turn that ship right around, or else you'll be greeted by a sky full of Skyrider Vampire Wurms.

Nah, they die fast enough to an upgraded mining beam and their attacks are easy to dodge anyway.

 

[Raist]

No, that's why I'm sure it's still broken. Last patch was supposed to fix it so it does not reset to 0 each time you leave.

If you left at sol X and then it was patch in between, I'm guessing you have to start oer.
PS4 or PC?

 

[PintSizedSlasher]

I was at 3 sol when the patch dropped and had to start from scratch. When I was back at 3 it started adding again and working the way it's supposed to. So yeah, I think you first need to reach the amount you had, before it starts working properly.

 

[grounded_dreams]

Mine was stuck on 8.0, while I was still on the extreme conditioned planet, tried going in and out builds, reloading the just incase it helped but nothing. So left the planet and carry on the Atlas path.
Since the latest patch was released on the PS4, found a new planet and stayed there longer than previously but it has not increased from 8.0 and made sure not to leave the surface.

 

[Spyware]

My names have been varied, and mostly bad. But I've finally found a naming system that I like. I have a list of mammal genera like this:

Subfamily Mungotinae
Genus Crossarchus - cusimanse
Genus Liberiictis - Liberian mongoose
Genus Suricata - meerkat
Genus Dologale - Pousargues's mongoose
Genus Helogale - dwarf mongooses
Genus Mungos - Gambian and banded mongooses

So the family or subfamily is the system name and the genera under it is what I name the planets after.
I only name what I actually explore. If I warp through I just leave it untouched.

After 33 hours, I think I've done all I've needed with the games. I managed to fully upgrade my suit but not my ship but I did get all the warp drive upgrades. Now it would just be a matter of warping endlessly to get to the center and I calculated that it would still take me over a hundred warps to get there, it's just not worth it, especially after learning what is waiting there.

All in all I've enjoyed my time with the game, even if it wasn't what I thought it would be. I still played it more than I would any other game besides Pokemon.
Good game, but not amazing.
