Lance EditionFor discussing all things Abiotic Factor.https://www.abioticfactor.com/Patch Notes: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/427410/view/617675310979089361Official Launch Trailer: https://youtu.be/Y1QE0oPnOfM [Embed]Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/427410/Abiotic_Factor/GOG: :-|Wiki: https://abioticfactor.wiki.gg/Random Googledocs and Shit: Fuck off.TQ: What new kind of locations would you like to see as post-game content?
Me & my friend saw the neutral NPC in the Exor village after getting the anti fungal stuff, from what I understand the NPC would've given us a choice of taking or not taking it. Was taking the anti fungal gel from the village the only way?
My pet skink disappeared.
>>537502570>TQsynaptic labs and curie containment would be cool. also i want to fuck with some of the contained IS>>537502984pretty sure u can only take it, it’s needed to progress.
>>537502783>What materials? I've already beaten the game.did you build the field battery?
>>537503519No. It's exactly what I was missing.
What entities am I missing? I'd like to finish the compendium before I stop playing.
>>537503882
>Completing the reactors adds a fucking mystagogue into the officeWHY. I was using that place for quick and easy meat farming for the better soups. Now I have to deal with Psycho Mantis in his Warhammer fanboy phase if I go hunting there.
>>537502257I like the theory that the unlost ones are the gatekeepers who were originally sent to the night realm, died, and then got "unlost"one of the night realm emails talks about the squad of gatekeepers who vanished in thereyou can find a mystagogue skull by the ink pool (that's been there since crush depth by the way)and there's the shade of a sister there
>>537503367>also i want to fuck with some of the contained ISNew materials only obtainable by experimenting with the IS, build new containment cells to utilize new contraptions and old ones.
>>537504798Where? I only know about the rocket rat at the pool replacing the exor.
Am I the only one with a small compendium bug where the pages for Carbuncle and one of the scientist always give me an unread notification whenever I load the game? Or does everyone get that?
>>537502570>TQI'd like to go to the library and A33. Seeing IS-0091-C would also be cool.
>>537511757No, that's normal. I wonder how this wasn't fixed yet.
>>537511647Data farm right next to the pool where the security bot is.
>>537512169Oh, I live there. I never saw a mystagogue in there. Probably because of the portal suppressor.
Savages?
>>537515385Was this guy cool or not? I mean, he was kinda cool but it felt pretty forced, and cool people dont have to try that hard to be cool.
>>537514856Your bench prevents natural, non raid spawning, so he can't show up.
My pet skink has vanished. What could have caused this?
>>537523390Carson ate it
>>537523591I will miss my little nigga.
>>537523390It's either wandering around or it actually just disappeared. I usually put mine in a crate after it's done shitting everywhere
>>537523672How is that? Weaponly speaking?
>>537538172The charge shot takes ten trillion years to charge up but you can get some staggers with headshots
>>537515385Sure he's cool
just feet..
>>537549919They can escape their anteverse?
>>537551001in a raid yeah
>lmao just chuck it into space>but what about future generations?>not my problem
>>537559096Its literally not my problem
>>537559806>the future of my species, nay, universe?>not my problem
>>537559096Humanity is going to fucking die soon anyways with what these knuckleheads have been doing
>>537560237It's the complete opposite. Without their research into portal technology, they would never have a chance of sending the doomsday device back where it came from.
>>537565547The device was only sent to our anteverse in the first place because GATE opened the portals and was accidentally like HEY EVERYONE WE'RE RIGHT HERE, PLEASE COME KILL US :)
>>537560237>everything well contained>technology advancing at a steady rate>only thrown into chaos by retards who felt these things that are under controller could maybe get out of control, with their only plan to be smashing the whole facility up>everything will probably become re-contained in time
>>537565953Wrong.
>>537565953>device was discovered in 200 B.C.>DUHH HUMANS WERE OPENING PORTALS THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO EVEN THOUGH THE GATE WAS FOUNDED IN 1967
Fuck everything about these goddamn turrets.Instant pivot and a hitscan blast from across the map lmao
>>537567184I think he skipped over that part
>>537566418It's keystone's fault desu.
>>537567513Build walls or get good at running between cover.
wtf is the point of GATE security crates? By the time you can get nyx seeds everything in them is useless shite
>>537570573gate pass
the game needs more rugs and some table lamps would be great.
>>537570616Has a security bot ever been a problem once you got a Deatomizer or Thumper shotgun etc?
>>537571189Desk lamps are a thing.
>>537572150yes i know, but i want table lamps to use with the end tables.
>>537572402You can use desk lamps.
>>537571939If you don't feel like shooting the rocket launcher ones i guess?
>meats keep going bad>but only the fridge negates 100% radiation>then I remember I recently unlocked lasers>I have a tower that negates all radiation>now store meat in freezers
It took a while to get the materials for all these compact storage units, but it wasn't as painful as some survival crafting games at least. The grind here is light and fairly kind on the player.I was pretty shocked to see the corrupt robots can raid your base though. I mean, I was grateful for the free Hearts of Corruption and Gate Runes, but for the first time my defences needed my help to win. Usually I can just let my teslas handle any unwelcome visitors in the background.
>>537567184I'm pretty sure that entry is to show that the multiverse is trying to kill each other and has been long before humans started opening portals. GATE aren't helping the situation but all this would have eventually happened anyway.
>>537575578I wonder how many are aware that the neutrino emitter has an actual practical purpose (I sure wasn't). I've been playing since crush depth and it didn't even occur to me that it has a use outside of the hydroplant objective until an anon mentioned it in a thread (because let's be real, it has no use outside of blocking freezer radiation).
>>537551001I find that dumb.>Backwards Salem retards who think everything is witchcraft>They'll happily use a portal, come to your advanced research facility and work out where you live so they can rush your advanced lasers and tesla coils with their pitchforksEveryone else has an excuse. The Order want the most dangerous GATE scientist they've ever known dead. The Exor are just tired of your shit or are just raiding, thinking it's another pocket of humanity to kill. The pests are just vermin infestation. Zombies just just shambled into the area. The Gatekeepers are being the Gatekeepers. But the Canaanites should be terrified of the portals and refuse to go in, let alone be able to locate you in the base too.
i'm ashamed i kept forgetting, so i had to write myself a note
>>537578605I should write a note about running out into my own teslas before switching them off. I keep doing it and having to start my next expedition injured.
>>537578747i did the same until i got the glow shard
>>537577989Being fed a steady diet of tainted corn and fanatical sermons has surely bred a few extra valiant and literally brainrotted individuals that would gladly throw themselves into a portal to "Hell" to vanquish the evils that plague their holy land. As for how they find YOU specifically, I assume blind luck.
>>537577046all that jumping in ice queen >>537578605lol
>>537577394You're missing the point. Anon said the doomsday device was sent in retaliation for GATE opening portals, which is fucking impossible because the organization was founded thousands of years after the device was even documented.
>>537579190>all that jumping in ice queenIf you get all the coins and crowns you only need to do it three or so times to make that many crates. The real annoyance is hunting down and destroying corrupt robots.
>>537578605I always remember, but sometimes I'm lazy.
>>537560235literally. not. my. problem.
>>537515385I want max strength & fortitude to make my character this huge.
>>537559096Why not just throw it in a portal and turn it off?
>>537596742Maybe there are resources in that portal which might come in handy in the future?
finally unlocked the ovenand these recipes got me thinking that i'm not a scientist at all and more like a chef who catered a GATE party somewhere, overheard things he probably shouldn't have, and joined GATE as a summer intern just to see what kinds of things you can cook with ingredients from other dimensions.
>>537599136FOOD SERVICES FTW
>>537587823Don't call it lazy, call it fortitude training.
does dr. carson ever leave after you build the chheffigy?
>>537610939You can remove the Chef's Counter and make another without the Cheffigy.
>>537611031i dont mind having her around, i was mainly just curious in case there was something wrong with my base, and she couldn't get out like what sometimes happens with coworker and the walking box
What's the strat for these fuckers?
>>537612646shoot the back. maybe with the polished antique shotgun or thumper or wahtver you have at that point
>>537612849So it's just blind luck then.
>>537612646Is that a Corrupted Robot? My strategy is to shoot them until they die :)
>>537612646My exor spirit tanks, I deatomize.
>>537612849>>537613178>>537613452Decided to welcome them to the disco
Having a cuppa with the missus.
>>537567750What's Keystone, anyway? I forgot.
>>537575578Oh, right, I forgot about the neutrino emitter. With this said, I still don't really care about radiation anymore since I have a shower.
>>537578605What do you even need that much honey for?
>>537620931head honchos of gate
>>537622245Oh, damn, I didn't know about those architectural correlations. I only recognized containment blocks being names after scientist.
>>537613178>>537614231Yeah, the laser grenades fuck them up. I carry two with me and release them both at once and it usually kills them quickly.
what are you guy's portal network destinations?
>>537628574I never made portal pads, I just carried two personal teleporters, one linked to my main base and one to wherever I was currently making progress.
>>537628574IS-0083 and Albatross.
Is there a way to have a lightning without global illumination? Really not liking not-half-life making both gpu and cpu whir uncontrollably.
>>537512169You could also go for the Cascade Labs. There's a few peccary sows in there, which you can butcher for meat, milk sacs and leather, and the tainted carbuncles too.The green exors are fucking annoying though.
>>537635273Limit your frames and turn on v-sync, that's what I did.I went from hitting temperatures of 87 to a regular 40 just by limiting my frames to 120.
>>537575578I feel stupid that I only remembered the radiation-blocking device blocks radiation thanks to your post, anon...
>>537628574Thinking of making one to the poo dimension just for mugnade supplies. Going there is too rare, and mugnades are powerful even in endgame.
Alright now I'm stumped, is there nothing else to do in this room?
>>537636113I did that, but system is still uncomfortably overloaded.What about DX11 mode? Or is it buggy or somehow shitty?
>>537637641If I remember correctly you go back to the control room once you've fixed all you had to fix.
>>537637641If it says no messages reported, you've done all you need to do. Just have to start the reactor.
>>537637641That got me too, until I explored and realised you have to fix two of the smaller stations outside of that room. One near Abe and Janet, and the other deeper in the facility.
Am I wrong or are most food recipes just kinda useless? There's so many recipes but it feels like they're pointless. Seems like all you need is the salad wrap, it's easy to farm the ingredients and has a lot of hunger/thirst fill, and doesn't spoil.
>>537647296Flavour and fun
>>537647296Salad wrap? I just need salad.
>>537647296Much like real life.
>>537653060Yeah, I make a lot of sustenance soup because its pretty filling and only requires tossing a single item in the pot.
Good morning sirs, you have been leveling your fishing, right? right?
>>537654443That was my plan for today. The other day I got to 5 and got the tackle box during 2 beers. Levels up pretty fast.I need a good sandboxxing break before tackling the last reactor. Might get started on bees finally too. Got a lil fishin' an' grillin' camp by the inkwell.
>>537647296I just make a lot of A & L stew.>Kill one of the Exor in the labs>It usually drops all three ingredients if you cut it open>Fills the most hunger out of any soup
>>537655337I just restarted all four reactors and I'm also doing this. I also farmed materials to built a lot of compact crates and will now work on fishing, upgrading old gear, improving defences and a bit of redecorating.
coffee
I gotta go back through the game with the employee locator on at all times.
>rocket launcher aquiredheheheheh
Grayson kinda sounds like H Jon Benjamin, but specifically him as Coach feom Home Movies
>>537674663go back to flathills now and testt it out :)
>>537647296i like the buffsfr-eyed rice means i can see underwater without goggles so i can use still my headlam or nvg for 10minsrootbear floats are 25% faster shits for 10 mins, nice when i'm hanging out at base crafting anyway so i can make more mugnades a bit faster. kizz is nice too if you roll the instant shit buff.hearty stew is more carry weight for 10mins, good for portal resource runsa&l mega is more move speed and strength, also good for portal tunsmelted ice cream soup is just funny because it applies the buff where you can just eat vending machine junk food and it actually fills you up
ladies and gents, we did it. i have 250 hrs in this game lol
>>537682580where do I get a mother fuckin deagle from?
>>537682580>no fanny packbricked, start over
>>537675031lmao he fucking does
>>537684123kill a certain enemy later on>>537684208i beat da game its fiiiine i chose some random shit when i first started because i figured it wouldn't make a huge difference
>>537684123Gatekeeper Magnum, hope you like having to use one of your two trinket slots to be allowed to use it.
>>537688764My trinket slots are forever reserved for the purple crystal powder and blue square
>>537682580Although in-game time is much less (am guessing pause screen doesn't count), I'm at a good 550 hours and don't think I've seen an alpha peccary. I rarely went down to the wildlife pens though, always took a milk run to the village.
>>537693564I stopped using purple crystal in the midgame desu. Felt it wasn't that useful anymore. If i'm wearing exor armor i have the companion trinket, but the grav cube always stays in my inventory to swap off. I usually go zip shield and the gun trinket now for general use.>>537693641yeah i live right next to the pens so i quickly check every time. i want to get a second one so i can have the 3 diff peccary helmets mounted on some item stands at my other base for funs.
hot sweaty buttsex with carson that slowly becomes more consensual with each thrust
It feels somewhat retarded to block off the actual toilets like this, but it always bothered me how pests just chill in the ladies. I set a few shock traps up behind this just in case, but outside of one attack involving zombies I've never seen raids spawn in there.
>>537701906put a crafting bench near the toilets to despawn them? use tech scrap as cord extensions?
I think I liked the black paint more, this just looks like the graphics are fucking up, which is the point I guess but why would you want that?
>>537701906>>537709160take a shit anon, it's not healthy to hold it
>>537709160Glitch paint worked for my bed, made it look like a starry night sky, sort of. In some cases lamps and portals look alright too.
>>537502570Played this back during EA. Did they ever fix the bug with disappearing items that were left around your base? I remember getting back on and everything not in a chest was gone.
>>537709901might have a cloud save error? i got half my entire base gone and the other half duplicated once because of that lol. either way i haven't had anything like that recently
>>537709901IDK, but theres like 10 fucking skulls from a zombie raid that wont despwam amd I dont want to pickup so maybe.I DONTknow if this applies to portal worlds or serbs with respawning loot, but I know that this fucking skulls in my kitchen arent going anywhere and at this point picking them up would be losing in a different way
do beehives respawn?
oven dings at 9:20pmout of nowhere:dr carson: HEYYYYYco worker: HEY GOT ANY FOOD???????walking box: [chomping noises]
>>537719705yee
>>537720259oh nice
>>537709160I like the effect the lamps have on walls.
>>537720675theyre basically enemies needing a lootingave at her
>>537647296The salad wrap definitely spoils. I would only take two with me because the third one would spoil before it would be useful. My current playthrough has food decay at a minimum so those will probably come in handy once I get the containment unit.I'm not really sure what the point of the oven stuff is, though. Sure, you can restore more hunger, but then you always have to carry a water bottle. I always found it was easier to just carry two soup bowls.Some of the effects are neat, though.
>>537730083He might not think it spoils because if you have that crafting perk, it will have a ton of extra decay points
>use this one tiny server room as toxic goo storage for the skink>it just happens to be one of those cold rooms>fucking faggot ass krasue jumpscares me while im filling up the skink one daystupid ass enemy
>>537752029my sonhe is burningplease put it out for him
>build small bridge off of the highly radioactive path over the radioactive waste>completely protected from radiationNeat
>>537758561Wait, you can put bait on the fishing rod? How do you do that?
>>537758919You just press R or/and it will automatically be put on your rod after reeling your line in.
>>537709439Not yetI'm pretty loaded down right now. Heh heh.
>finally reach level 15 fishingI am now able to continue playing the video game.
>>537773126>He's scared of the giant fish that does nothing.Stop pretending the game prevents you from playing unless you grind fishing. I'm at the endgame and I fished maybe twice.
>>537774067I don't like swimming in dark water, especially with something that can kill me. Even with the big fish being passive, I'm still not comfortable.
PS5 just ate 4h of my progress... I'm buying a copy for pc, screw this piece of shit.
>>537775526Me too man
>>537775526NTA, but the big fish is a nothingburger. I swam by it only twice, and got hurt only once. I've played Subnautica and Outer Wilds, this shit ain't nothing to me.
>>537783461If I could turn the fish into a burger, I would.
>>537784020You can turn its kids into filets at least
Pizza time
>finally collected all of the antelight variants>put them on display along with a bunch of other items at one of my bases to make it look like a labthank fuck, now i just need one more alpha pec skull to have a collection of all the variants
>>537801487but its only Wednesday
Do we ever see these things alive?
>ShadowgateWhat an obnoxious area. At least powered down forcefields are gone for good, despite the grenade description.
>>537812557In the far garden, they're the ambient flocks of birds

>>537844463The net launcher got an upgrade?
>>537852672I'm dumb. In my mind I thought of the net launcher as an upgrade to the nets and mistyped. But the net launcher should have an upgrade period.
>>537783461>subnautica is... le scary!Kill yourself.
what a bastard of a fish to findnot gonna cook him though, he'll have a nice home in my aquariums with the other rare bastards
