I've been wondering about this for a while ever since the >!manufacturing!< section, how do we not have a can cannon in this game yet?

We unlock the >!air compressor!< during the >!manufacturing!< section. We also usually get tons of soda cans (The ammo for the can cannon) from killing the >!robots!< scattered throughout the facility. (This also gives the cans another use than just being liquid and scrap metal... tbh I sometimes don't even pick it up since getting water and/or getting scrap metal isn't that hard, so it just gives soda cans another use beyond just being... soda)

Even though it's unlikely we'll get more ranged weapons in the game, I'd like to just pray and hope we get another cool weapon in game. (Dev's, when the >!manufacturing!< section dropped and I saw you created a >!saw blade thrower,!< I instantly knew I loved the game)

Using Torii as my Homeworld base (making use of that early access reward, plus i love the vibes) But compared to the other homeworlds the lighting in there is AWFUL. It always overcast, and the big building has a ton of dark corners......

Anyone have any tips for making the place a little brighter? Any light sources I wouldn't think to use? Sconces and tri-lamps are only doing so much for me....

As the title says I’m trying to collect all the armor in the game throne issue I’ve run into so far is that I can’t find any security arm guards for the life of me, odds are I’ve found some before and scrapped them for Kevlar is there anyway for me to get some more? Thanks

Edit: thanks for the suggestions about residences I found some arm guards in the barracks which completes my collection

My personal one would probably be Dr Thule in albatross, "I suppose you're actually going to listen to this creature. He's about as human as an ABIOTIC FACTOR." It sucks but I think it'd be funny.

I've reached the endgame, and crafted all the weapons and shields in the game... including the two off-hand weapons. Cool! I'm looking forwards to trying out the Mystagogue Gauntlet in particular! Except... all the good weapons seem to be two-handed, denying me the use of a shield. All three Hard-Light Weapons are two-handed. The Laser Katana is two-handed. The sniper-rifles and Magbow are two-handed. All the shotguns are two-handed. Both of the magnums are two-handed. The Quantum Pick is two-handed. The flamethrower is two-handed.

Basically... what one-handed weapons are worth using in the endgame? I really wanna get some actual use out of some of my off-hand weapons and fancy shields, but I think the last one-handed weapon I used was the Exor Flail, and that was a while ago...

In-game OR out here, either will do. I finally got around to checking that place out, but I never played VotV, nor am I planning to, so I'm having some trouble orienteering myself. I found my way to the main building, talked to Hudson, and he just goes "Head to the substation, it's just out the carpark and the to the right." Five minutes later, I'm lost in the forest and stumbling into one half-finishing satellite-dish after the other. =_=

Is there any real reason to use this trinket?

So... in order to enter Residence Sector without immediately dying from the unnatural below-zero-Kelvin temperatures, you need to first touch the Sun Disk. Just having +3 Cold Resistance won't help any. A'right, cool, I get it!

Except... what about all the OTHER people that are hanging out around Residence Sector? I mean, most of them do seem to have some justification. There's a bunch of Gatekeepers, but they presumably have their own mystic defenses against such things. There's a few Order Assassins, but considering their status, the odds that they indeed got to touch the Sun Disk before heading there are pretty high. Same thing goes for Hasta Tria, for the brief moment he spends in the area. Then there's Abe and Janet, but they're sitting behind some kind of weird red forcefield and dressed for the weather besides - presumably, that forcefield takes the most severe edge off the chill, so they can manage. There's a few others that are hanging out inside Fragments, but that place is weird, so I don't suppose the preternatural chill of the rest of the sector extends there anyway.

Buuut that leaves three outliers. First, of course is Dr. Cahn, who's standing around in a highly exposed area, wearing his normal clothes, and seem entirely unbothered. How strange. Between that and getting himself accidentally locked in a containment-cell, he sure does seem to find himself in a lot of strange situations! :P (So, yes, we all know why the cold never bothered HIM anyway...)

Stranger is Moira Shepherd. You find her just standing around in a corner in the Security Barracks. Wearing a puffy coat and complaining about freezing her ass off, sure, but there's no weird forcefields involved. She's pretty close to the center of the freeze, too. How the heck is she surviving that?

But the weirdest is Ulrich Thule. Sure, he's all the way over in Executive Residences, but that area is STILL hypercooled, and he isn't even wearing winter-clothes - just like Cahn, but with far less of an explanation, he's just standing around in those impossibly frigid temperatures, wearing his normal lab-coat and complaining about how he wants a hot cup of coffee. (That's putting aside the fact that he's on the far side of a glacial wall that you need to melt with the flamethrower to even reach him, of course... but ALL the NPC's seem able to move around by routes that aren't available to you, presumably due to being more familiar with the facility and having actual security-credentials instead of relying on a keypad hacker for everything.)

If you based in the security checkpoint place after Helmholtz with the turrets, could you reply with pictures? I want to see what you guys created. Thanks

I just got the >!Glitch Pack!<, and I don't really want to use it because of the special slots. I use the top part for certain things sense I swap backpacks, and I can't really do that in any sensible way. I just wanted to know thoughts on this, sense I don't know why we can't move them around. Also I feel I wasted resources on the >!Jetpack!< sense it doesn't hold speed, and I find that floating with the >!Jump Pack!< being way better. The >!Pocket Dimension!< has been the only backpack that has been worth it sense the >!Jump Pack!<.

you have only one pet slot but multiple pests can follow you. i can revive all of them or only that one in the pet slot?

I don't know how much it helps with making melted ice cream. But while using it, I haven't seen a real difference with just holding it in my backpack. I'm just wanting some help with this odd problem.
