I don't really hang around to listen to the messages after dropping off loot but I've heard some different things from it. One is just a short malfunction brrgp noise. But I just heard one say "You must keep the company happy" Hear any other new ones?
You have two dogs that are marching on your escape route and then a worm starts pushing you. So you have to run sooner than you wanted. which ticks off the dog and you jump with less than half your stamina and somehow you make it.
I know people have asked for a total scrap count screen, but I would also like a current TODAY screen showing how much you are collecting as you put it on the ship. I end up forgetting half way through.
I've never gone exploring on Assurance behind the rock that's to the left of the ship if you look out the back. There were bees on that side and after running from a worm, I found this. It's sort of in the back corner. I've never found random pieces of junk outside before.
I had gone to main first and found all three entrances full of steam and the beeping of the mines. So I went to Fire. I knew that this facility was already trying it's most devious ploys to kill me so before I took a step, I looked down. I avoided that and because I was anticipating the worst, I closed the door to a loot room just right around the corner when I went in. Hello Mr. Bracken! you didn't get me! I said when it burst into the room. Yeah I left with two things but I escaped.
Maybe everyone has the cruiser when they go to Artifice, but when I go it's with a jetpack solo. So if I get a two handed item that is high value, I'll run it to ship. I try to go early to avoid robots and giants. But it seems like almost every time I get to the shed and there is a inactive Robot around there, it will immediately turn on. I think only once it didn't start up.
It just happened today but since I now count on it coming to life, I turned around and went through the buildings and made it back.
Anyone else find the Robots insta turn on when you get near or is it just me?
On your first day, you've tried to dodge tulip snakes but you still get that one on your head. You go in to an empty loot room from Fire and as you go to the only door out, a bracken is in the doorway with a just spawned nutcracker behind it. So you say screw it and leave. You'll make up the 130 tomorrow - surely.
The next day, from fire you find the empty belt room and get two keys - along with a snareflea. You go to main and there is the apparatus - fool you! it isn't. All around the area is corridors. Surely I'll make it up tomorrow, it's only 130.
From Fire there is the belt room. Surprise there is an armload of loot. Enough for the 130 quota. You go back and there is a lootbug who has decided to block the only way back and it attacks you. You take damage but escape. But now, where is main? Amazingly I find it and dump my stuff outside. I find a locker room with loot! I start taking back my stuff. Watch out for the bees that will kill me by the ship. I go back for the last load and find the dogs are all over the ship. Climb the hill and jump on the ship. Finally I made it.
Why didn't I search more on the three days? I just had 4 days of being killed by the bracken. I guess that was part of the cursed run too.
I guess they were in love.
I've been dying so much and the loot is scarce, that I decided not to wait to get a jetpack so that I can at least get to Artifice. First day wasn't bad and I lugged back a cashie. Second day saw me walking in and a bracken popped out of a vent. Not much that day. Third day I was still ok making the 500+ credits for quota when I got the freaking METEOR SHOWER.
I died in the shed thinking it would protect me. 🙄😭🤬
I've had objects that are at the bottom of a locked door and you just don't get it because it's locked. Even doors that are open require just the right angle/nearness to be able to get them without the door opening and closing etc. I've spent too much time trying to pick them up and one day, I expect to be killed by the bracken because I'm crouched trying to get the egg beater off the floor.
Plus there are times where beehives seem glitched - you can't even get close enough to find out the amount without the bees instant swarming. It happens around rocks but also like on Assurance, every beehive was like that - even one that was out in the open. I'm not the greatest at picking up bees without damage but each time I find the bees like this, I die or they chase me to kingdom come and then I die.
I've never bought a headset with volume control and although I found the wheels on the side that is supposed to do + and - for volume, they don't affect volume at all. They roll up and down but return to the middle. I've got them connected by usb to my tower for PC. I know that you are supposed to go to your pc and adjust levels there but, isn't the control box supposed to also adjust? haha I know it sounds stupid but I thought it would be a wheel that actually rolled up or down and stayed that way not pop back to the middle.
There are two levels with multiple doors on each level. The columns can hide a bracken easily as well as doors. So I carefully went to the side that didn't have a door open and who is hiding behind a column? Mr. Bracken. It could have been a snareflea too but you know, you just get this feeling.
I hate snarefleas.
I wanted to see if I got more than the 50 credit worth. I got them on Assurance and opened them after the ship was in orbit. Some had 54 - 56 worth. Highest was 74 then 69. Only one was lower than 50 at 39. I'm always worried that I'll lose credits if I open them but I certainly gained on these.
At least that is what seems to have happened. I've never seen a dog try to kill a tulip snake so I thought it was ok to simply crouch and sneak by when the dog went agro. I had to run and jump over a small hill and then crouch going under the board structure on Ass. It still followed me and but I made it to the ladder. At the top I watched the dog go crazy at the bottom trying to find me.
This is true isn't it? If the T. Snake is on you head, he's going to hear you?
A high percentage of the time, if there is a loot room/area near Main or Fire - there isn't any loot in them. Sometimes if you get a good spawn, you might get one or a few items.
Almost 90% of the time if you go in Fire exit (this excludes multiple fire exit moons like March) you will hear Main/ and or be one or two corridors from it if not staring at it. The other 10% of the time if it isn't close to Main you will have at least one of these - a locked door, steam that fills the area and last but not least, a turret.
Mines at fire exit will have that little chunk that goes no where but might have one item in it. Sometimes a mine shaft will have very little loot and are only a short pathway to another facility area. This might lead to other mine areas but maybe not and you have to leave to go to Main.
There are still turrets waiting for you at an entrance. Baboon Hawks show up more often and have large packs.
If you are solo, the new spawn in the back of the facility or random dead ends is a lot tougher to get decent loot back to ship. By the time you find it and start bringing it back, snarefleas and a spider have usually filled the return corridors. Then you have the countless baboon hawks/worms/dogs waiting for you outside.
At 1:15 there were already two baboon hawks running around below Main on Assurance. I barely made it to the ladder when they started attacking. They kept attacking me all the way up and onto the platform.
Is this a real thing or was this a glitch? Was it because they started attacking me before I climbed the ladder, that they could "follow" me up to the platform? I've never heard of anyone having this happen.
I used a bolt to take out the bird on a stormy day and the lights went out in the ship. All of a sudden, I see these little eyeballs glowing.
I was on Artifice, standing in the middle of the ship and got hit by a robot arm. I'd already had damage by a snareflea and this almost killed me. Robots shouldn't be able to swipe you through the ship.
And talking of robots, on Embrion they drop on top of the ship and go right through the roof which kills you. At least they did that a few months ago. Not sure if the update fixed that.
