Does anyone else do this?

So I just started playing the game yesterday and started scraping, killing, looting, and recycling everything I can and got to Lv.8. Then I learned the skill for the Med. Battery and found learned I could scrap the ones there and get their full build materials and decided to do the same for the diesel tank, scraping and fabricator machines, and both sets of power generators on top. So now I have 5 med. batteries, 4 solar panels, 3 wind turbines, and 2 each of the scrapper and fabricator.

So my question is: Does anyone else scrap those things and use the mats to basically build them for free elsewhere?

Some pictures from my adventure

I had to take some photos while recording to show how beautiful this game truly is

Anyone else keep stopping to look instead of getting on with the objectives?

Couple Questions

Managed to get more into this game but I am wondering a few things

  1. Is there a best choice in fuel source to use for both boat and powering buildings? I know to use both diesel and electricity for boat. Wondering what we use petrol for...

  2. How do I add items to action bar? And what items can go there?

My dismantle tool is glitched and can't be clicked on in the tool screen, I have to use my arrow keys. Can I put it into action bar?

  1. When does water pump come into use?

Thanks in advance~

Do we think they will update this again?

We have been checking every week for an update they updated it nearly every month but for 2 months nothing. I really hope they haven't abandoned this. Has anyone heard anything?

Material overload.

What are people doing with all the materials they collect? I see pictures of people boats that look fairly void of boxes.
I go to a site, I dismantle everything and put it on my ship.
I have like 25 boxes full of materials.

Are people leaving stuff behind or do you just horde it all off at another site?

Why are Archangels attacking me everywhere I land now?

I've never attacked them except in self defense and yet now every time I roll up anywhere they instantly all aggro. Why? I have no seeds on board at all. Is it because I've launched humans and they are against humanity?

Edit: Ah, so archangels are not the same as angels. Gotcha.

Question 2: If an archangel aggros on you and there are angels around too (does this even happen?), do they all get aggroed?

Lazarus and water

Can/should the Lazarus complex be dewatered? I noted that the interior water-filled spaces - having a quick swim around - don't seem to connect to the ocean. Are they? Can the water be pumped out?

I don’t know if this is a good suggestion but there should be an option to make or put the robot corpses found to use?

Sort of like a hardcore mode that instead of doing the saving and when you die reloading bit, instead you can craft two machines. One allows you to craft or use old robot corpses, and the other allows you to basically make a backup version of your character that upon death you go into, so you basically have to retake your old stuff and ship. Someone is probably wondering how would you retake your stuff without a ship? How about a raft or a similar backup smaller ship, that you can use? Just an idea, but I thought it would be cool as I thought that was originally what the saving machines were going to do.

Black Vein Station Question

1st time at Black Vein Station. All enemies neutralized, all cocoons demolished. I've powered all the buildings including the top floor and all the surrounding rooms but this bottom floor remains unpowered. I've been up down and around and can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

PSA Don't sleep on the Flamer

Hot bloody damn, I've slept way to long on it. Throw the big tank on your back and off you go descend on the mobs with righteous fury. Specially these slime things, the green ones and the flyiers.

Purge them with fire!

Seats of Care question?

So, I’m stuck on the quest where it says “Assign committee members” but aren’t they sorta auto-sorted in there? I built via the guidelines for each specific role. Just not sure what I need to be doing.

Recycler hack

If you come to a recycler press action button (typically E on PC) and unload your inventory the recycler will take a while to process everything BUT if you get in the recycler as close as possible to the spinny bois and just dump your inventory out pressing tab and Q then it will process everything at the same time and will save a ton of time and electricity, your FPS may suffer though

Put all rare memories in first human seed. Should I restart?

Hello!

I’m the hoarder type looter (it provides me joy) and had meticulously looted memories and resources on 4/5 places until I put my first seed into a Lazarus pod.

I put many of my memories there including the rarest ones. I now discovered that you cannot get them back and due to their finite amount consider starting a new save from scratch.

Wdyt?

Fabricator bugged?

i went for a dive on a grabeyard, and when i came back to shred some stuff i noticed fabricator was having this issue. it has enough power, cant repair it. but the on/off button is missing like you see in the image. how do i fix this? i hovered with the dismantling tool over it but there was no dismantling option. any thoughts?

EDIT: Fixed by turning the game off/on

Electric cables I pick up are 1m long instead of 20m

Maybe a weird title, it's quite frustrating and I am trying to figure it out.

At the beginning, before sailing, on the rooftop of the building (I like exploring hehe), I found an electric cable laying on the ground. When I pick it up, it's 20m long. When I try to connect it again, it's only 1m and I can't do anything.

There are some solar panels and windmills there, I want to use them to start up the fabricator and recycler on the rooftop.

Does anyone know about this? Is it a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Good places for trees?

In the late game after launching some humans.

Where is everyone growing their trees? Is there a good spot somewhere that anyone can recommend?

I've put a few on the boat, but they're so big and bushy that they're just unmanageable when they get big, especially the >!birch!<.
