I think I found out about the player drone by watching someone on Youtube after I'd already been playing for a while. However, my very first game back in late Alpha 5 ended pretty quickly. I was following the Robinson Protocol and it instructed me to build a base. So I started on the very beginnings of a base, I had a core, a fuel tank, a generator, a few blocks of floor, and a constructor. Years later, I don't remember if I had a turret. But I definitely had no turret ammo. Back then a drone attack happened almost immediately upon first activating your first base. This was maybe 15 minutes into my very first game so I completely botched my attempt to defend the little "base" myself.
Same here, i spent years trapping myself in my mines, trying to desperately use the filler to scrounge handholds out - till i saw somet on a youtube video... on other hand i thought that gameplay was kind of a challenge - mining without trapping yourself... having to buils a base over a deep mine with lots of elevator shafts (and still trapping myself).
that there an an UNDO function in the "N" menu. So many times I have painted the wrong thing or reclaimed the wrong block
I'll find out by accident right now... You can turn your head inside the cockpit by pressing alt and using the mouse.
Well...then I can guaranty whatever the case may be, it will not work for me...me and Murphy, we tight...apparently.
The DRONE, it's better iirc in Alpha 12 tutorial it is at least *mentioned*. The DRONE HATCH (door in the roof allowing the drone to go work outside while you are safe inside) in any vessel with an interior. The fact that HV's CAN ACTUALLY fly in SPACE and mine ASTEROIDS. CHEATING IS ALLOWED TO LEARN AND DEVELOP. Noticeably there is a legal cheating that it is called CREATIVE MODE. When discovering the game, I haven't used is as much as I should have. Now I spend 80% of my gaming time in creative. I guess it will settle down soon. What is great : the game of course, the forums and the community. The videos on YT made by devoted players (have to mention @spanj). The many so cool builds by senior designers as @jrandall but many others too ! What's really disappointing : the wiki. It's outdated for like 2 years. I suppose when it goes to beta, there will be a valid reason to update this mess. First it's outdated but it seems having been alright at a time. Compared to the current game, it's not well done at all. Some major useful things do lack. Proper descriptions of current items of course, but also general spreadsheets like comparisons between block (material) cost, weight, hit points and so on. Matrix of production (I need a tier 2 cpu upgrade, i don't know or remember by heart what a coil is made of... translate it to bloody ingots). Many many things like that. That said, it is just incredible this ALPHA STAGE game achieved all this kind of expectations from a newb like me, just because it is so playable and enjoyable. Let's be realistic : when you hover bugs, you don't hover terrain and never think of mining asteroids. Long live Empyrion Galactic Survival !
You better would have told me. WHAT ! Whats that, English for Martians ? Person, woman, man, camera, TV is just as logical ! hahaha You better have taught me English before you person man woman camera TV me bro and you better would have told me person woman man camera , TV , aaarrrgghhhh mind lost ! Person, PC, games, Empyrion, Legend , I win ! Oh thats right, I need to person woman man camera TV, definitely the drone in POIs !
In the factory you can drop in higher level stuff to get lower level stuff. EG you can drop in titanium plates to get titanium rods if your blueprint needs titanium rods.
I also agree about the drone - I did not find out about the many ways it could be used (scout, mining, salvaging) until I had been in the game for about 2 weeks.
Landing on a planet with high gravity, and discovering my ship just turned into an immobile object, completely useless for anything other than verbal and physical abuse. From space ship, to space coffin in one move.
wierdly i kind of liked that though - and wish that empyrion would add more unexpected challanges - ie sudden warp failures - meteor storms or scyla and caribdis regions of really hot / acidic planets - sort of add some variaty that we need to engineer our ships out of - just for the fun of it.. .. asnd maybe as an explanation/context for all those crashed ships all over the place
Wait, what?? There is? Seriously? Good grief, have been playing this game for years... From memory, in no particular order, stuff I discovered way back then by accident or by watching others play, and that are probably *still* not covered by the tutorial: - The "F5 Drone". Yes, already mentioned several times but come on, add this finally to the tutorial! It's an essential piece of game play. - Cockpits do *not* determine the orientation of the ship. The original starting block does. Yes, it has that arrow painted to it but maybe tell the new player what that arrow means. Plus, you know, we want to move the core to a better place so it's quite easy to lose the info so maybe have that orientation shown in some screen... - Shift+Click moves stuff between inventories. Obvious? Only in hindsight... - Shift+Clicking constructor template adds 10, Ctrl+Click adds 100, and Shift+Ctrl+Click adds 1000 (I think, never used). Have mercy on the new players and don't make their fingers ache by making them click 100 times to add 100 iron ingots to the queue. Add to the tutorial. - The Core Block is not the Starting Block. Seriously guys, *explain* the rules of ownership, core blocks, and starting blocks. Seen plenty of youtubers baffled by this. - Motorcycle construction kit is not the motorcycle device. Again, obvious only in hindsight, so explain it. - The filter buttons in the constructor screen aka "Where did my templates vanish??" - Actually, also the little thing that there indeed are multiple tabs in the constructor screen...
Well... Not when I was new, but when the option I first discovered that SV-s can have turrets... And the Ahha, You would have told me that feeling was when I found out that I planned the ship wrong... because THERE ARE NO Retractble turrets... That would have been to know beforehand
Honestly? Everything. Ive put in 200+ hours and didnt know there was a drone till 2 days ago. I didnt know you could set your ship to cruse control until this week. This game is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo big its staggering. When I was first playing with a buddy of mine we stumbled so much. I gave the game a positive review tonight but put a slight disclamer that the inital learning curve is "steeper than the himalayas". Other than that I freakin love this game so much
