I love exploration. I've sunk nearly 200 hours into this game just scrapping, building, powering up, and exploring! I thought this could even be better than subnautica (something I don't easily say), but now I've found 2 glaring problems. I've spent several hours setting up my boat to carry and convert oil into diesel, petrol, and plastic, then after remodeling my entire deck to support 20 oil tanks and moving all of my Typhoons for power, I struggle to find titanium (kinda in short supply, don't love it, but fully understand) so I go Angel hunting for it, take some serious ass kicking from them but finally get enough titanium. I then build the distillery tower, just to find out it doesn't work. I have tried everything except for scrapping and rebuilding every time I use it, and it just won't fucking work.
Ok, I rage quit, doom scroll until I'm calmer, and go back to try something else.
I run through "the isolation" where I can get the skimmer, ok, way cool toy, so I build it.
Yea, that's all bull shit because it doesn't work either. I sit like a dumb shit on it for 5 minutes, try every button I have (I play on PC, but on TV using controller) and nothing happens.
I have put 200 hours into this game because as I said, I love exploration and survival, but if I get into higher levels and the cool stuff won't work, I'm done.
Tldr: I'm bitching about stuff not working and am done with my rant now.
I really am pissed, but I guess I'll find something else to play. Broken games are no fun
If anyone knows how to fix these bugs please let me know.
***EDIT: Thanks for the replies! Skimmer: no, didn't build the petrol engine, I did fill it with petrol, but no motor, def my bad.
Distillery Tower: I rechecked my connections over and over. I thought the same thing, I've got something backwards, then I traced each line downline to make sure diesel to diesel, petrol to petrol, and if course the oil in the left, power in on the right (petrol is left, diesel is right). I am using 4 way connectors to run from the dist tower to the tanks, maybe those could screw me?
Angela do take a while to track down, but I was getting 2-4 titanium per kill, sharks were pretty much 2 titanium, but you're right, sharks are everywhere.
BTW, devs, is it really cost prohibitive to put a catch tray on the back of the soil forges? What gives?
Thanks folks, really. I haven't rage quit in a while, guess I was overdue.
