Lack of memory

So I wonder if you're just not supposed to fill every committee yet or if im doing something wrong.

Because I cleared every non seed vault poi and I have just not nearly enough memories to Make most of the professions. I absolutely swim in 10 adaptability or wisdom memories, which somehow no one needs, but I have basically nothing left that gives focus, patience or creativity.

Sure I could waste seeds to make unneeded humans in hope the drop pods contain what I need... But that seems like a very unfun time.

Boat is suddenly slower

Hello! Today I logged onto the game and left dock. shortly after, I noticed that my boat was only going 9km/h compared to its normal 18km/h. Does this have to do with vessel weight or anything? I havent changed anything since I last logged on. I also tried relogging and the problem still occured. Anythoughts?

Skill points usage

So I'm almost level 30 and I have a ton of skill points left that I can use, but I've been pretty selective on what I unlock.

I'm curious if there's something that seems useless that's actually super useful to have?

How many grenades are you supposed to need to clear rocks?

I'm at Quarantine Stack AMEN. There's a passage there blocked by rocks.

I threw 12 regular O2 grenades and two large O2 grenades at them. Each time, the game told me I dealt physical damage - but the rocks stayed intact.

Then for good measure, I emptied a full rifle magazine into one of the rocks. Dealt another grenade's worth of damage. The rock still didn't budge.

Am I really supposed to pour that much into a single blocked passage? Or is something weird here?

New Player. Adore the game. Confused on Lore

Hello I am a new player and this post is gonna be a little over the place as my ADHD is severe, but it has been so long since a game like this has had me in a chokehold. I’m losing literal hours of sleep and socialization because of this game is all I can think about. I’ve canceled plans and even considered calling into work. It’s bad, but nonetheless i’m glad to see others enjoy it so much and it seems the devs are active. I’m very surprised to see this game fly under the radar of all the other survival craft type games. It has phenomenal visuals, fantastic physics, deep and complex systems, interesting and fresh takes on upgrades and automation, deep lore, doesn’t hold your hand, LOADS of secrets and easter eggs, etc. it just seems weird it’s not getting more attention. This game reminds me of half life if it took place in an alternate post apocalyptic version of that universe. Anyway speaking of half life and valve:

I LOVE secrets, easter eggs, hidden locations, unmarked discoveries, etc. This kind of leads into my love of no hand holding and just letting you experiment and figure things out without any kind of guide (return of the obra dinn, prey, dishonored, blue prince, rdr2 in regard to its secrets and mysteries, etc. you get the idea) so thsi game is like my dream game.

The lore is the only thing i’m having problem wrapping my head around. Before getting into it i want to say that i understand that its early access, Im very new and very early into the game, it very may well just be me not understanding what im reading, etc. The data and log entries unlock as you pick up human items left behind and you go to read them and im just confused on who these people are, what they are doing, how they relate to me, why im getting data entries, holographic sheep?, what is a node? theres like 30 separate log entries each with multiple chapters. Again I understand im probably just not far enough to understand a lot of but i can usually get a grasp on a little of what im reading but i feel as these pop up with no relation to what’s happening around me or what i pick up. I’m sorry if i sound ignorant or impatient, just love this and want to absorb all i can. thank you! i’m excited to get father and learn more:)

How do you harvest sharks?

I keep finding myself in want of a transom; using the rudder as a makeshift one the best I can. Even the slightest wavy seas keeps resetting the recycling counter. Reloading the instance worked for a short time now it just makes them disappear completely.

I would kill for the Recycler Charge from Prey (2016) in this game

For those of you who are unaware, the Recycler Charge was a grenade that you could toss into a room and turn all the things that could be broken down, into their base materials.

I want to break everything down but my battery, its too small :(

Disappointed in our copter

I remember playing a copter game on the Apple II+ in 1982 that had better keyboard control than this. It was a 2D side-scroller, so maybe that had something to do with it. But it also ran on a 6502 1.03 MHz processor with 48k of memory.

I'm cooked - HELP!

So I was really enjoying the game during my first playthrough, got hooked so bad.

During my first arrival on Exodus station, I got stuck in the industrial platform (Yes, the capsule at the platform ahead is my human that I casually tossed while trying to escape).

It seems I am completely stuck inside the platform, nothing I can do helps. Tried reloading as well many times. Problem is my last save was like 1 hour ago and I made so much progress I hesitate to do it all over.

I have seen trainers that you can infinite jump etc, but I don't know if they can help..
I saw a tool that could possibly help which is the Dev Menu mod, but people say it's outdated and wont work...

Is there anything I can do without f*** up my game or ruining my save file even more?

Is there a reason to limit the number of input items when growing humans?

Example: a stopwatch has "patience 5". A bowling pin has "patience 1". If you wanted to grow a human with a profession that needs 10 patience, you could add two stopwatches... or ten pins. Either works.

Is there any reason to prefer the smaller number of items, or does it not matter at all?

This game was almost perfect for me.... But....

I'm really struggling with making humans that I want. I don't know if this is a broken mechanic or if they plan on changing it. But as of right now trying to create the profession is inferiorating.

I feel like I'm just rolling the dice with the RNG gods and hoping I get what I want in space. This game is so labor intensive to create the little fuckers I want to control the outcome.

Anyone else?
