Probably the shittiest bait I've ever seen.

>>750336501
I'm not baiting, they have constantly changed the roadmap.

Wasn't this one of ONLY "indie early access game with feature creep" that actually got it done and released on a schedule? I can't even think of any other example.

This game is too reddit coded for me

I feel I should clarify that I like ABF, my issue is the constant changing of the roadmap. I just want them to stop setting a release window for the DLC if they consistently fail to meet that deadline.

>>750336356
I love this game

>>750336356
I played this for like an hour and do not understand the appeal. Resource collecting for seemingly no purpose, nothing is happening, I have a negative inventory capacity even with the backpacks I've picked up... where's the fun?

>>750336947
I've been binging survival crafting games since Valheim released, and Abiotic Factor is by far the best of the games I've played. It's so good. I was kinda turned off by it being in a research lab, but the whole SCP element makes it fantastic. I've gotten to the Security sector so that means that Layak isn't following me anymore but some sort of reaper thing. I didn't expect the game to be horror, but it is, making it extremely atmospheric.

>>750337067
I understand where you're coming from, but I'm not too bothered if they keep us updated with any issues or delays. I'd rather they take extra time to make it as good as possible rather than meeting some arbitrary deadline.

>>750337774
It's all downhill from there.

>>750337774
This game is so fucking good solo and going blind. It really helps it's a built experience and not RNG generated world.

>>750338214
*rather then just say
I need to proof read my shit more.

I wish AF didn't spread itself so fucking thin with its homages. Even with some of them contained to their own portal worlds, most of the portal worlds are just homages with little depth to them.
I guess it's good it does end up trying to build its own identity beyond Half-Life / SCP, but I feel both parts just feel like neglected backdrops at this point.

>>750337774
Idk to me its pretty mediocre jank. Combat is just terrible and as a solo player, the game devolves into a series of chores around farming, water scarcity, etc, that just aren't enjoyable. It lacks replayability as well since the storyline is linear and its all set pieces with no random generation at all. Feels like the game would have been better as a narrative single player horror adventure game than a survival game all those elements seem completely misplaced. But then if it just turns into a theme park exploration game, there's very little actual content or even boss encounters wtc.

>>750337942
Any reason why? I was close to quitting trying to kill the big tanky thing because it just wouldn't die but I needed a drop from it. Having previously tried to kill a composer but being unable to, I wasn't sure if it was possible. There needs to be some accessory to show enemy HP or at least make it more obvious that you're doing damage. I know the tanky thing slows and looks damaged but I didn't initially think it could be killed, just damaged. Also a shit fight unless cheesed.

>>750338053
Yeah, I've been having a blast solo. Only thing I'd change is IT. IT is on a set time so it becomes predictable that it'll be lurking. If the timer was variable instead of static, it would make the experience regarding that enemy much better.
>It really helps it's a built experience and not RNG generated world
It's a godsend coming from Valheim. Why have an unfocused experience with RNG when you could have a tight and refined experience instead? people argue that random generation is better on replays, but I like that experience lets you blitz through it.

>>750338214
I get that, but then you'll complain that they don't communicate: "They said it'll be done in June and it's now November. They haven't posted anything since April!"

>>750336569
More devs would be like this if they actually spent time developing their games and not jacking off in a discord to fans praising them 24/7

>>750336356
So is this a faggy Reddit game or not? Getting mixed signals.

>>750338682
try forming an opinion on your own

>>750336569
The original Don't Starve comes to mind, very solid progression until release. I feel like there's a few more but DS was the first one where I was kind of surprised it actually came out properly. Oh actually I guess Rimworld fits this too? I got it all the way back when it was on it's own site.

>>750338559
Can't deny that the combat is bad, but it's serviceable. It doesn't sound like you got very far into the game based off your complaints because you can very easily manage what you call chores. The QoL you get from progressing in the game is insane, which is what I want out of these games. Going from having to cook multiple pots of water to get 1 full pot for food, to filling a barrel and pressing a button to instantly filter it is so good.
I might have felt the tedium of the early game far more if I didn't come from Valheim of all games.

>>750336947
I wanna make a base by that antejuice pool. It's such a nice setting.

Deep Rock Galactic did it first, and better.

>>750338792
I don't want spoilers, and I'm not a filthy rat pirate. Next.

>>750336356
I’m still a bit disappointed by the residential sector and final boss. The final area in between was pretty cool and I liked the mechanics but that still probably wasn’t my favorite area in the game. It just felt like the residential was lacking in the interest or cool stuff from the prior areas. I will say the buildup right before the residence sector had me unbelievably hyped though just from how much there was more than I expected. As for the final boss it just felt off, I don’t have a better way to put it.

>>750339237
you know you could always just look at the store page and make your own decision without purchasing the game
why are you asking other people to form an opinion for you?

Pirated Enshrouded and was disgusted by what they did to the grapple hook. It used to be a proper grapple like Worlds Adrift but now it's a glorified teleport LIKE ALL THE REST. Suggestions for games that do real proper grapple hook mechanics?
Also Enshrouded is fucking shit. The combat is weak as piss (Why the fuck doesn't merciless cleave), the magic sucks, the exploration is boring (Why don't open world games follow the design principle of NO STAMINA BAR OUTSIDE OF COMBAT) and it's buggy as fuck.

It's insane to me that they put the xen sections in the game despite them being universally hated

>>750339352
>Enshrouded
It was my next game to play after Palworld (absolutely shit grind that I'm amazed is in anyway popular). I was expecting a better Valheim but I found it so underwhelming that I started and ended my playthrough today (refunded!). The menuing and UI/UX was unbelievably bad. I should not have to be fighting with the menus in games made these days. Was not impressed at all.

>>750339606
The only thing I like about Enshrouded is the building mechanics not being obnoxious fucking garbage to wrestle with. Everything else was just underwhelming like you said. I'm so glad I didn't pay 50 fucking bucks for it. Valheim burned me out super hard too (Me and my friend restarted after the latest expansion dropped and any interest I had in the game evaporated instantly) The only reason I stopped playing Palworld though is because it runs like shit after skyislands.

Game made me think melee was viable, only to get stonewalled after the first two sectors.

>>750339763
I heard that the building was the best in the genre but I couldn't quite get around to it because of the UX. Menus built for controller but still feels like shit on a controller.
>Valheim burned me out super hard
The final biome sucks anyway so you're the smart one here by dipping. You got flying cancer enemies the last deep north that are by far the worst enemy in the game. The dungeon is large and empty, taking forever to get through, and it needs doing at least 3 times. You then trigger invasions somewhere in the world that you need to sail to, to clear em for a boss summon item. Padded to the extreme, the Valheim special.

>>750340082
What gave you trouble in the lab? I've been playing almost exclusively with the spear and it has been a smooth experience so far (minus the tanky enemy in the labs).

>>750336356
Pretty bold of these guys to ape Half Life so hard they made an even shittier ending and ending section to their game.

>>750340082
Melee is viable. You just need better weapons. Though it IS impossible to beat the end game boss with melee unless you invested in throwing weapons.
>>750340208
>The final biome sucks anyway so you're the smart one here by dipping.
We made it to the plains, killed the mountain boss (ice dragon) and then the expansion dropped so we said "Lets just start again" and almost instantly I didn't want to play. Conversely, we both beat Abiotic are are eagerly awaiting for the next expansion of that. She did the reservoir section/cooking, farming (I'm a fucking coward terrified of deep water) and I did the base building/combat grinding. Honestly might be the best game in the genre.

>>750340325
>Though it IS impossible to beat the end game boss with melee unless you invested in throwing weapons.
They did update it so melee characters can beat him but the fight is still janky as hell.

>>750340325
Should I be touching the added tables (distillation and chemistry) by security or is it a late-game thing? Also, is Palworld meant to be an afk sim in the latter half of the game or was I playing it wrong? You'd need 100's of ingots but it would take upwards of 30 seconds to craft 1...

>>750340586
It's any time you can access them thing. The shit you can make with distillation is actually quite insane.
Also Palworld scales up aggressively quickly if you're using exp modifiers like a point above normal. You may find it's slow starting out but you'll reach a point where 100 ingots of anything is a sneeze.

>>750340586
>but it would take upwards of 30 seconds to craft 1...
Please tell me you're actually using the mechanisms given to you in the game. You're NOT just hand crafting everything on the base level crafting bench?? You ARE using Pals to do things and paying attention to their job stats?

>>750340651
Exp modifiers? I'm playing on hard, which reduces exp gain. Not sure what that has to do with smelting ores.

>>750340735
Using the best forge I have, with a few points in research to improve the forging time, along with the pal that has the highest forging skill. Sure, I haven't given the pal any books or condensed it to get the forging skill higher but it still takes forever. I guess I could make a base just for forging but it's such a slog. Am I doing something wrong?

EXP progress is your gate towards getting better automation equipment. Playing on hard just makes the whole game take longer for no actual benefit. There is, and I mean this, zero actual reason to play on anything but normal unless you like grinding pointlessly for longer. At that point just go play a Bobs mod on Minecraft.
>Am I doing something wrong?
I'd have to see your setup but if 100 baseline metal bars are taking you so long and a single bar is taking you upwards of 30 seconds, you're not using your best systems available. Or you're watching a pot try to boil. As the old saying goes, a watched pot doesn't boil etc. Go out and explore and do some battles etc. When you get back your request will be done. How many towers have you done?

>>750341152
I had like 4 last time. This time the metal grind hasn't been so bad because I'm using every system but I got burnt out by the sheer amount of iron I need to craft. I dunno what it is about the game but it's all just busy work. Either I need farm and wait a while to get the item, or I go into a new area and have to catch everything for the exp bonus. The Pals feel like statsticks and not very endearing or "alive".

You can, with condensing, books and fruits, turn the weakest pal (a lamball) into an end game solo machine. I have had my Tarrantris (Tarry) since I found him at level 10ish and I'm now 80 at the end of the game just before the big tree (which I can't enter because the game is refusing to even function at a stable frame rate)

>>750342223
The answer is yes but not for Job stats, not technically. You can't make a Lamball able to do furnace work for instance. The only real thing that sets apart say a Jetdragon and a Lamball is that Jetdragon can fly. All pals can learn all skill fruits without question. There are some abilities unique to a pal but all personality traits like Lucky (within reason for a couple traits) are also genetically spreadable/injectable with implants from the colosseum.

>>750336356
>>750337067
Roadmaps are never concrete, game dev is experimental and sometimes ideas just don't work, or take longer to get working than anticipated.

Abiotic devs have been very good with update cadence though. The pseudo-retro graphics are certainly a benefit in that as they don't have to spend a ton of time on making super high detail assets.
They delayed the first expansion DLC until next year, but it's a pretty large update and it's out of early access so I don't have a problem with it. Better to delay a good game/update than rush a poor one.

>>750338559
>chores around farming, water scarcity, etc
My friend and I beat the game with the traits that make you thirsty, need to use the bathroom and hungry more often without realizing those were objectively terrible passives. You can beat the game so fucking easily without those the second you can make the anniversary cake.

>>750342483
Thanks for the info. Sounds like a lot of autism.

>>750342685
The bathroom one doesn't matter, shitting yourself just makes you smelly and that makes you worse at stealth, but stealth is already a joke. That being said the final boss is long enough that you'll probably drop a deuce during it and that does take away from some of the gravitas.

>>750336569
It's still being updated with major overhauls so no, it's not done.

>>750338580
>Any reason why?
Different guy, but from then on sections start to be heavier on combat. There's some real damage dealers and it becomes more balanced around having a team composition and one guy to draw aggro. They also aren't as tightly designed mini-metroidvanias like Offices, Manufactoring, Labs. None of it is bad per se, but it definitely feels like you aren't meant to live in the areas like those earlier sections.

>>750342712
Not a problem. Got any more questions, just ask.

>>750342985
Do you have any other survival crafting games that you like and are willing to recommend? Pretty new to the genre and don't wanna overlook any gems like with AF.

>>750342949

>>750343142
Try Return to Moria. Can't vouch for the solo experience but I played with a friend and had good fun.

>>750343142
I've played a decent amount and they're all the same garbage. Abiotic is the standout despite its issues.

>>750343142
I think valheim is fantastic for the early game but it becomes absolutely mind numbing after the third biome.
Depending on how loose you're being with survival crafting, there's Elin but that's a townbuilder survival crafter really
Subnautica 1 is a masterpiece of spooki underwater adventure. 2 dropped the ball by having less big monsters
7 days to die is actually fun
Star rupture is a factory game where every hour an, aptly named, rupture happens that glasses the planet (and you if you're not indoors)
V Rising is a vampire game, effectively a boss rush with some mob grinding on the side. Imagine a diablo Grim Dawn.
Unturned is a zombie survival game that looks like Roblox several years before Roblox existed
Prey (2016) is TECHNICALLY a survival crafting game
There's also Raft, Kenshi, Forever Skies (Airship game), Devil Spire Falls 2 (Just look it up on steam), Forager, Project Silverfish (not really crafting but a LOT of surviving) (also it's got furfag characters so maybe not if you don't care for that), Planet Crafter and my personal favorite; Green Hell.
To name a few

The Forest suffers from a flaw where everything you need to survive is on your person. There's no need to build a base or defenses.

I played that for a couple of hours and felt like it turned into a very samey game real quick. Started to recognize every "map" you landed on. Is the part where you go down any good or is it just as samey?

>>750343703
Can't really say for the latest full release but in the last save before that release I was feeling much the same. Still got about 30 hours of enjoyment out of it though.

>>750343773
To a point, sure, but it's a net negative when devs get trapped updating the same game for years instead of making something new.

>>750343703
>Is the part where you go down any good or is it just as samey?
Sorry I forgot to actually answer this; Yeah it's practically the same as usual. There are some 'maps' as you call em where combat is more active and you have to gun.. (arrow?) down bugs from afar or they getcha but that was as far as I got in pre-release before the content just ended. Currently though there ARE new areas, zones and mechanics. It might be worth a re-visit if you've not played the new version.

Nearly every game/series has become worse after the first release. I'm perfectly happy continuing to play with is generally the best game the devs will ever put out

>>750338682

I looked it up thinking it was a game. Derp. Don't mind large bodies of water. Currently spooked by the seemingly bottomless water in the fountain in the reaper vore world.

Probably to accomodate anybody using that grinder gun. I think rebar was part of it's ammo recipe)

Reactors presents a genuine challenge, so of course /v/ doesn't like it.

Reactors, Hydroplant and Residences was my favorite zones in the game. I also really loved the Order base. Exiting the teleporter and taking note of where I was and noticing that it was FUCKING MASSIVE was the kind of feeling you rarely get to experience. Very cool game, god I love Abiotic.

What's with the kneejerk reaction? This is a complete game getting DLC additions you don't have to pay extra for. It's no different from the past 20 years of DLCs and expansion packs prior other than the new content being added to the base game for free.

Does anyone know any game where the character has a grappling hook that isn't a glorified teleport? I'm tempted to start up a steam review channel of sort where I just say whether or not it's a proper grapple. Fuckin Enchain managed to do it right. Nothing else does that I've seen as of recently.

>>750346457
Define "teleport" because this comes off in a way that suggests you'd think the grappling hooks in Dying Light are teleports.

>>750346579
Ironically Dying Light did grapple hooks properly too. I'm talking about the way Zelda or Enshrouded do it. Where the grapple only works on specific spots and nowhere else. A glorified teleport from a to b
Incidentally, I have a rant about Dying Light and why I think it's trash garbage, if you care to hear it (It's about the halloween update several years ago that pumped the spawn rate of volatiles and NEVER FUCKING REDUCED THEM)

In which game? IIRC they upped volatiles and screamers and shit in 2 because they got feedback that night time was "too safe" (read: you could go out and do stuff without a volatile spotting you every five seconds)

>>750346829
Dying Light 1. Also I meant to say Virals. Virals were EVERYWHERE.
2 was also fucking awful because Volatiles were fucking EVERYWHERE the minute night time started. Jesus fucking christ I hate that I have zero power over game development.

appearing out of nowhere in the original spawn elevator(telefragging our past selves in the process) and speedrunning through the facility with all our endgame gear without royally fucking over everyone and everything we encounter this time.

Were there ever any good gameplay addition mods?

What the fuck do you mean by "Screen turns white and most of the base is gone"
It was a lv 1, it can't possibly destroy the base on it's own. Did he spaz out and rage quit?

>>750347786
There wasn't an old modding system, older mods were way more restrictive because of it.

>>750348460
Unfathomably shit luck then friend. I think when I scanned the wiki looking for anything interesting the antique shotty does, I switched over to the upgraded Ordo Shotty in response. But I was maining throwing weapons till the very end because I fucking love me some Boomerangs (y'cunt) (Because I'm Australian)

>>750347786
There is no modding system, that's why they're making it easy to mod the game.

Good thread. Don't buy Enshrouded, it fucking sucks. Whats the other one though where you go through portals into different realities after finishing your business in the current realm? That MIGHT be worth playing.

Valheim was a huge disappointment for me, maybe I just didn't give it enough of a chance but it just felt like every other generic survival crafting game. The only cool thing was seeing the tree in the sky.

The Voices of the Void update was fun.

I played through the game and beat it after 1.0, how's it looking since then?

>>750359645
No major groundbreaking changes. Two new portal worlds, a new chemistry system for crafting consumables and weapons, and a pet system with a nice variety of pals to fight with.

Actually satisfying Half-Life-adjacent guns

>>750347628
A new area that unironicly resets or has completely seperate progression. Like a portal world shits you out with nothing and you gotta rebuild somewhere new.

>>750347786
There isn't a built-in system and the current method is quite shit. It's split between mods which use ue4ss which has its own problems and mods which just add stuff via pak files which you have to manually delete each time. There's no system in-game for toggling mods on and off, or checking for outdated versions, and everything people have done up to this point is entirely on their own with no tools. Frankly, the shit people have been able to mod in is impressive as it is, but it's all just numbers, tools and model swaps. There's no properly new custom content.

Assuming we're not just talking about the DLC? Probably defending the world from anomalies in a much more dire state. The arch defense facility is confirmed to take place in the future and the woman who releases you is GATE's CEO, so she's still alive and so is Manse as revealed by a log in botanical wing. Hard to say whether GATE will team up with the order or whether they'll remain at odds after shit finishes hitting the fan, but I'd like to work with them; we could get a new rat buddy. We could meet Hasta Quarta who acts and sound identical to Tria and it's just not explained because fuck it.

>>750336947
My buddy and I made our base on the other side of the tram platform in the main lobby.
Had to cram a bit but you can fit everything there and it simply seems like the most practical spot by far. Once you unlock all 4 trams it is so convenient.

>>750359645
Everything that's been added is very good, but I'd strongly recommend waiting until the big update is out if you're looking to replay. Cosmic Companions was a really substantial update but it mostly adds stuff, rather than places. That stuff is really good, like pets, chemistry, watches, a vehicle and a bunch of weapons, but if you haven't replayed this game multiple times already, I think you're better off waiting for them to add multiple new portal worlds in a few months.

I got to the hydroelectric dam with a friend before dropping it.
Am i a nigger or does the game get worse the deeper you go? The levels just become more rinse and repeat.

Abiotic Combat would've been the perfect game for me but the combat is just too fucking terrible. It's never satisfying, the enemies, especially humans, are never fun to play with like HECU soldiers were in HL1, the ai is dumber than in a Unity asset flip, every gun feels like shit unless you're overkilling etc.

>>750336947
I just beat it a few days ago and now I'm sad because I'll never play another game like it.

>>750365463
I like the combat but it could be a little better for sure. It think the issue lies in the melee weapons not having much variety in how you use them. Outside of just one shotting everything with the sprinting Carbon pick.

Conan Exiles is still the best survival game I've played and that's because it is barely a survival game.

Chemistry is important for the Pheremone Flask obtainable during Labs, which charms enemies and lets you start taming and mutating peccary pets. Lv20 Peccaries of any variant are genuine workhorses for the entire rest of the game. They deal good damage, tank enemy attention well, and the only item slot they take is a new type that only pets go in. They're also endlessly revivable and teleport to you when lost. It's a game-changer.

The main jank is bad tutorialization of taming but it does work surprisingly level. unpopular opinion, Alpha Pec SUCKS because at high levels it's so huge it starts needing your help through doors and narrow railings.

>>750368967
nta, in my experience the Leyak pet is the best because it reduces the risk of unsettling encounters and actually does a shitload of damage when maddened. I never got to compare it's damage vs the bully pet though.

>>750345285
I was always running out of rebar thanks to how amazing the upgraded magbow is, honestly. I agree with the overall sentiment though, it's even something Deus Ex ran into: what items can you possibly reward the player with for finding secret rooms in endgame areas? If you find the best gun ever in a closet under a bridge before the boss, isn't that a total waste? Yet if it's not... what's the point?

>>750336356
I haven't played in like a year, just opened it back up. When they change Krasue from ice cream to vials of milk? I had a whole freezer of ice cream in front of my base to feed it, now I gotta figure out how to get milk before this thing gets out. It was an enormous pain in the ass to capture it in my main base.

Enemy facing direction just being nonsense in combat is my biggest gripe. I do kinda like the dynamic where you dodge melee by moving away from the enemy (facing direction doesn't matter so circling does nothing unless it's a thrust attack) and you dodge ranged by moving to the sides. The combination of the two in fights means you have to mix your movements carefully.

But the fact that the enemy MODEL's facing direction isn't their actual one is fucking insane and leads to dudes shooting you through their own backs.

>clearly the order are the bad guys

>oh no, actually order were the bad guys the whole time
the best analogy is I can give is that it'd be like if your roommate built a shed and kept a bunch of deadly wild animals locked in pens like 10 feet from your house
the shed is super secure and he tends to it every single day, it makes you pretty nervous but he's keeping them all contained and as long as he doesn't fuck up big time, it'll be fine
then some jackass heard animals were being abused so he comes in and blows a hole in the wall and starts freeing all the animals who just kill him and you and almost kills your roommate before he starts gunning them down
unfortunately, the bear got loose and are currently fucking up the neighbors big time
also the bear's asshole is a portal to the bear dimension and it's continuously spawning more bears, which is what your roommate was trying to prevent the whole time
the order are a bull in a china shop who thinks he's helping

The Order are so solid and responsible that your deserter went back in time to complain about you, only to start your shitty cult to begin with.

>>750370726
The shed is NOT super secure, though, he causes accidents with it constantly. It's a foregone conclusion that true disaster is not just imminent but also inevitable the way things are. Trying to stop it and failing is inherently better than never trying to stop it and just watching it happen in short order anyway.

>>750372909
There is no point in moving bases when everything is connected to Office via the trams and walkways.
And you can get the handheld teleporters at the lab.

>>750372909
The best place to build a base till you reach Hydro apartments (in my opinion) is near the pool of water that is near a local area teleporter in mines/foundry. It's a perfect place to set up shop.

>>750372990
teleporters let you base anywhere easily, available space and built in amenities like coffee machines are the only real considerations, along with aesthetics of course

>>750372909
My experience was that for some reason moving bases sounds way more overwhelming than it turns out to be. The only pain point is solved by using temporary small-crate storage before you arrange your nicer sorted boxes (then shred them to recoup half the plastic).

You got pretty much everything you need in the office plaza. Only thing missing that's significant would be a slushy machine that is upstairs in the break room by datafarm.

how much was added since last xmas and was it good?

>>750336356
How important is having friends to play this shit with? I did a melee build on console and was absolutely burnt out after going down that dam water tube.

>>750373657
The only thing you need from vending machines is the candy that's used in fish bait, and plenty of other places have coffee/slushie machines. If you don't feel like crafting a dozen mug teleporters to get around everywhere then office is probably best but I rather not sit in the same security room every playthrough.

>>750336356
I was blown away by how good this game is. I went into it knowing that I would enjoy it, but I didn't expect just how much I would enjoy it. Fucking amazing game. Hopefully the DLC is worth the wait.

Pet overhaul, now they're great
Chemistry, for useful potions, flasks and weapon lubes
Some new items, like some fun new weapons
Big fixes, adjustments and stuff
Voices of the Void crossover, a small portal world with a short story, no combat, basically just some furniture and you technically can use it as a Home world
And maybe more, might be forgetting things

tl;dr Yeah, they added some nice stuff

>>750373894
cool, thx

>>750373738
Carrying around 1 extra teleporter that leads to a crafting bench on warren's platform is pretty painless and allows the real base to be anywhere you want, that's what I usually do. Then when you get teleporter pads you don't have to carry anything.

>>750374205
nta, I set up a teleporter hub in the mirror portal to the flatworld. I had like 10 different portals set up to go anywhere we wanted. It's the perfect place for a hub too.

If they aren't gonna overhaul the progression then somebody needs to make a mod that does so. I know the drop multiplier mods exist but it isn't really an elegant solution.

>>750374370
Just explore and don't collect shit you have tons of or can easily get tons of. You aren't picking up those glue sticks in reactors for any conceivable purpose for god's sake.

>>750374205
I always have one to the base and one to a bench in whatever area I'm currently exploring, with all the rest in a box to grab when I need to farm something.

>>750374234
I put my hub in the weaboo world, I didn't think there was outlet access in the mirror

>>750374578
>>750374370
You are however going to want to pick up EVERY SINGLE FUCKING BOX OF SCREWS AND METAL SCRAPS YOU POSSIBLY CAN. You will NEVER have enough.

>>750337067
That is one big ass soda can

>>750374607
There is. There's a single power box at the top of the ladder and as far as I know, neither the Leyak nor the Krasue appear there. There's also no invasions.

I've moved there a few times. There's a tram right there, road access, and a furniture store around the corner.

One thing that changed is now that everyone has a 5000 HP dog soaking damage in combat, healing briefcase is dead. Most of it will go to the pet, and barely do anything for that pet. Briefcases spend energy per creature healed unfortunately, it's not free to heal multiple in the same AoE.

>>750363667
Convenient way to handle not having any AI packages available for allied NPCs and being too lazy to make one.

>>750374709
The latter things are true for all portal worlds, really the only reason not to base in them is they won't reset if you're in them, and furniture will respawn inside of stuff you place down.

>>750374778
I'd rather stick to my ghost exor friend who doesn't need healing at all.

Childhood is saying "wow free rechargable healing" and plopping down a briefcase zone you have to stay in while enemies are about to find you, then being unable to reuse your 1 healing item for a long while.
Adulthood is understanding that Healing Tinctures are cheap, don't force you to stay still, and heal massive HP, making them way better.
True maturity is coming to terms with the fact that healing syringe has always been the best because you just use it from the X key radial like bandages, freeing up hotbar space. Fanny Pack is a billion trait points but smart slot management is free.

Just increase the stack size in sandbox settings so you can carry a million syringes or billion tons of metal scrap that weights you down.

>>750375428
That's cheating.

>>750373713
It helps a lot, mostly so that one person can be doing base shit like crafting and managing the larder while the other is pushing content. My friend and I did co-op and did 50 hours together plus I had an extra 30 hours of farming shit because some of the midgame is a fucking slog to get enough supplies for two people.

>>750375449
stack size needs to be 2x minimum to enjoy this game

spooky losers btfo lol lmao gottem

>>750373713
not very, the game plays wildly different on coop vs solo. I'd adjust the game modifiers and boost a bunch of stuff like maximum carry weight, max stacks so you aren't as gimped by not having fellow pack mules
solo can arguably be easier because you don't need to grind multiple sets of equipment for players, and you can stealth kill enemies without your friends leeroy jenkins-ing into enemy groups
if you got burnt out by the water dam though I'd argue the game isn't for you though

>>750375684
If you don't end the game with at least three radiation resistance containers full of leyak essence, you didn't play the game.

>>750373840
I'm cautious of the DLC just because the final update was so mediocre

>first aid skill is still utterly useless past level 4
>and even if you do have friends that benefit from the late perks, far as I can tell, you do not gain any xp from crating medical items despite the skill menu saying you should, making grinding to those perks a slog.

If they don't patch the game to have NPC's like the food seller or the FUCKING CHEST able to be walked through in the expansion, I will actually blow a literal gasket.
