So, I have 2 CO2 tanks attached to portable power generator on black vein, then run a cable to my ship, 2 CO2 tanks.

I cant get any flow happening between them, and I suspect cant even get CO2 out at all.

Any workarounds?

Cheers

When I take on a large retrofit of my ship, Lazurus, or any of my other larger scale infrastructure setups, I always end up pulling in all of my cables and hoses. Each time I go on a slurping spree, I imagine that they are big ol' noodles.

Anyone else?

I built a donk pallet, threw some full storage containers on the pallet, built a forklift to move it around. It won't lift the pallet. Why? It's a forklift. That is its only purpose in life, is it not?

I did this because I am sick and tired of sorting through my inventory to find the resources I need to repair items. (I am at the Exodus station now trying to get the rocket up and running)

Why, if I add a task (say to repair a solar panel or pretty much anything) and return to my storage area does the game not pull the needed resources from my storage??? The right-clicking to constantly split resources to bring back to whatever thing I am trying to repair and doing the math to make sure I have enough rubber/iron/fabric, etc.etc… Is really damn annoying.

Am I missing some hotkey somewhere that pulls the items automatically for the task?

completely sealed in case the throw goes wrong !!!

I have a Grown Human stuck at the bottom where you ‘activate the Whale’. Any tips to get out?

It's been a very long time since I was completely hooked by a game, but TLC has managed to turn me into a rabid gaming addict. When I play it's usually in sessions lasting several hours. I'm about 128 hours into the game and I still have a million things to do. Anyway, here's my question.

There are 2x things about hose management that I find mildly annoying.

1. Hoses becoming trapped in the structure with no apparent way to recover them. Although, I'm sure I tackled one hose several hours back and the other end somehow popped out. But I've not been able to repeat this success. This is likely a well known bug, so I'm confident it will get sorted in a future update.

2. I also have uncoiled hose all over the place. I try to keep them tidy and use them when an opportunity presents itself, but that's not ideal if I'm a long way from where I'm keeping them together. It also appears that once it's been uncoiled, you can't recoil it and store it, or recycle it back to scrap. I could be missing something, but I've not been able to figure this out. If it could be recoiled, I could put it in my backpack and then keep it in a storage box. But it would also be great to be able to recycle them back to their raw materials.

I'm not by default a hard-core gamer and TLC is definitely not the type of game that I am normally drawn towards. I'm more of a FPS gamer and I love playing Onwward VR with my mates. So well done to

So any hints or tips would be gladly appreciated.

P.S. I've only just now joined their Discord server.

Have a good one!!!

This is a problem I've faced in many other games, but having recently dove back in to the The Last Caretaker I am reminded once more of the devil that lives on my shoulder.

I have an intense instinct to scrap anything and everything that is scrapable and "clean" the entire map. This is not practical on some of the larger locations, though I do it anyway for places I visit frequently.

It plagued me so much in Fallout 4 I eventually installed "scrap everything" mods that allowed me to do it all in one swoop instead of manually spending hours cleaning out. Alas, I have found no such mod for The Last Caretaker.

My scrapping journeys have led me to have abundant amounts of Iron and Copper, more than I can realistically use (given the rate of further intake).

I'm trying to convince myself to only go after the valuable recourses I actually need, but that doesn't make the little voice go away.

I feel like Wall-E living in trash world, making tiny little dents into the cleaning up and never making meaningful progress. Perhaps that feeling is intended by the developers. I don't know. I'm too busy scrapping barrels and beams to think much about it.

That's it. That's the vent post.

Me I just sit afk on the boat plugged into a medium battery and I get 500 kg of bio and if you have a method you could share it's up to you if you wanna share the method

Spoiler: Has anyone created a human that doesn't have a listed profession? It has all the necessary stats for a viable human development. I tried a save & reload as well.

I’ve been really really enjoying this game. The setting, the atmosphere, the boat, the water, and the problem solving etc are all incredible. But what’s been turning me off is constantly dealing with swarms of the little eels and pink blobs everywhere. I feel like 40% of my time is spent just recharging my electric pistol and trying to zap stuff. I’m still pretty early in the game as I’ve just been taking my time and soaking up the awesome vibes of the game. The electric pistol seems like the best way to fight them, but even that is kind of lackluster. I almost wish there was an option to just turn them off completely so I can sail my little boat around and explore in peace Lol. Is there a better way to deal with these guys that I’m missing? Or is there something you get later in the game that makes them less of an annoyance? Any tips would be great :)

Somebody had commented on another post, asking about the Puccini opera song that plays when the booster returns to the pad. I'd been already curious, so decided to check it out. I'm a rock musician but do love a good, rousing finale no matter the style (I'm lookin at you, Andrew Lloyd Webber).

According to google: In The Last Caretaker, the opera song playing when the rocket booster returns to the launch pad is "Nessun Dorma," a famous aria from Giacomo Puccini's opera Turandot.

"Nessun dorma" is Italian for "Let no one sleep". Sung by the disguised Prince Calaf, it expresses his certainty that the cruel Princess Turandot will not discover his identity by dawn and that he will win her love.

The ending chorus lyrics that we hear (english translation):

Vanish, o night!
Set, stars! Set, stars!
At dawn, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!

So I guess that applies to the game.

Has anyone else encountered a bug where you jump off your boat to go in the water and you just plummet into the water at insane speeds? I pulled out my little hand jet thing to see if that could save me but it could not, and it said I was falling at 146km/h.

Weirdly I never encountered a pressure warning, but my boat stopped getting farther away at 5.9km even though I didn't hit any type of sea floor.

Do you think caretakers dream? I think it's canon that robots in this world are not supposed to have emotions, but they develop them anyway.

I had a bad dream last night. I was a caretaker and the council asked me to send them several hundred continental reserve notes in the next launch, and I had to explain with tears in my robot eyes that I had already shredded them for materials.

Then to make matters worse, in 1.6 the devs added a new quest where there is a third, better way to use the >!Gold Standard.!<

My brother failed to cultivate his first human seed in time and it died. I think this traumatized him, because now he won't grow more than one human at a time and only if he already brings crates and crates and crates of food and memories, more than he could possibly need.

Does anyone else get these sudden bursts of anxiety like your robot simply does not have enough STUFF in storage and will be caught unprepared in an emergency? The pressure of being humanity's only hope is just... a lot.
