You should be able to melt down the gold coins in a furnace, and I'm pretty sure the scrap turns into neo ore.

The fallen station has the improved cores I’ve been telling you about for the last 2 weeks.

The core in the space command used to be between the first and ground(lower) floor under the stairs. You could either blast through the barricade or take out one of the 'landing' blocks where the stairs turn to expose the core directly. The Abandoned Refuge used to have 2 furnaces, a couple of large generators and half a dozen solar panels with a salvage core makes it functional as a smelter. As we've discussed previously, the Fallen Station always used to have an Improved CPU Extender.. you have to dig down into the 'interior' where the tube goes into the ground..

The only reason you needed to summon the ship so close onto water was because a storm had just started; with a smoother surface you could have summoned it further away That 'find a predator' mission is gonna take forever if you don't scan the animals on the planets you visit.. BTW there are now very few hostile scannable bugs in the game (unlike a few years ago), so don't concentrate on finding them to the exclusion of others! You gave the un-upgraded Pulse Spitter approx 2 seconds of use before saying you prefer the Scatter Blaster; I'd recommend you give it a longer test with some upgrades (including the DoT mod) before you dismiss it completely!

Like I really want to try this game but I worry I won’t enjoy it when I play it because how in depth it is

I just did the dead planet and managed to find 4 improve and 1 basic base cpu extenders. The basic I put in my base and the improved I deconstructed and got 24 large bridges to make improved CV cpu extensions with. Just need Zacs and Erest to finish my factory build. RE2 build is at 19 now.

I had a corporal jones moment on that hot planet, the lack of visibility was half the problem.

All purple Sentinels on dissonant worlds are 'corrupted', but you may come across a couple of 'standard' ones in certain circumstances The horrors appear upon (first?) interaction with a site; if you don't want to fight them, simply jump into a building, cave or ship & wait If you want to change your ship to another (eg that crashed Sentinel), the quickest way to move the tech across is to uninstall it from your original ship into that ship's cargo, then you can quickly & easily move all cargo, including the uninstalled tech, across upon claiming (see the two tabs at the top of the screen designating the cargo bay & the installed tech?) Sentinel ships can't use pyrite, uranium, shield batteries or launch fuel

The unfinished escape rocket (in RE1) had a couple of CPU extenders. Are they there in RE2? Enjoying the vids!

Usually the Biolabs have plant sprouts. I can't remember where else you can get them, but usually on the 'Dead Planet' start you can get both the 'protein' and 'vegetable' sprouts. Given you have vegetables in your fridge you can make them.. You also can't replace the small generator with a large.. the block above the small makes the vessel airtight because of the 'stairs' to the deck above. I've never had any issues salvaging the entire interior of the Escape rocket. When salvaging the structure, take all the carbon blocks from the interior than scrap the ship top down... The 'exploration shuttles' used to give bell pepper sprouts (although typically I just sell them). With regard to the 'simple farm base' there are 3 variants... so the core is correct for that variant. Whether the secret store exists is variable.. I always take the center growplot out first.. You might find deconstructing things such as the missiles useful..

you are awesome. you solved my metro problem with electricity

First! Love watching early starts...

If you keep backing off when shooting the horrors, you'll prolly be better off with the Pulse Splitter than the Scatter Blaster, as you keep backing off until you're out of effective range. Plus that extra module you got gives the SMG DoT I didn't mention the standard Sentinel milestone as you'll complete that while doing the Walkers As I said, you have to complete the Community Missions /in order/, so you won't get any more progress with the first one until you go back to the first planet & kill more horrors there

I have had the makar for about 15-20 hours of game play. For about half of that I keep going towards the back thinking it was the front. I had no idea that that door beside the back offered more storage space, so I’m definitely going to fill it. Also the cockpit area ( beside the door) has a weapons locker already. Beside that as your heading toward the inside hanger is a armour locker, there is a spot right above the armour locker that is marked for the repair station. It slides in above the locker, and is marked with a lcd. It’s closer then walking across the hanger to fix weapons or repair your armour.. it’s to the right side of the door way as your coming out of the captains seat and entering the hanger area.

👍👍👍

The 'rear' of the ship is a standard Helios docking bay, so will dock any Helios module. In his play through he's using the 'new' version of the Plutus (M3 I think) Miner. Also worth noting (and check) he's using the 'lite' version with Ion Thrusters not Plasma Thrusters.. Check the workshop as he may have the 'lite' version as unlisted. It may be worth converting one of the other Helios RE1 miners (Roosters M2 Mining Barge or Scrubby's HUM) or go for the Nolakron's PG Module which is a 'production' module with 81 farming plots. ***** Aside from the Thrusters you want to put in at least 4 medium plasma turbines, and getting a CPU extender installed should also be a priority. Turn off the LCDs if you don't need them! **** As you're going to be 'on planet' for a while.. might be worth putting down a water and a couple of O2 collectors in one of the lakes.. I also use a 'cheat' CV for salvaging the escape rocket.. It's basically a CV starter, with small generator, small O2 tank, small Fuel tank, container controller, 40 expansions, 40 elevator blocks,6 mobile solar panels, small generator, and a 'glass' box on top with an O2 station, and WIFI. Place the CV starter to the right of the tail, in between the two vertical truss risers, then build up with the drone. This means you can go straight up and down to the cross truss, at the 'thruster' level on the escape rocket. You also don't have wifi problems as you can salvage into the CV, then transfer, and can grab O2 as required. The glass box is useful on a cold planet as you can return here to warm up.. Helps if you have all the parts on hand, but you can get them all from the escape rocker itself. Also unlock the 'Industrial Multitool' for the SV.. even with 1 on the MX5 it will make salvaging the Escape rocket after you've removed all the 'valuable components' (basically everything except the shell) much easier. Deconstruct everything you don't want in the Deconstructor - you get far more resources back.

In RE1 the 'best' resource on the planet is 'Salvage' (6000L, 3tons) which you put through a deconstructor. There are 2 or 3 versions of it. In RE1 it can yield Zascosium, Estrium, the Alloy, Gel, and optonic bridges, as well as lots of the common materials. Worth seeing what they've done to it in RE2. Also look for one of the 'ST01' bases. You want the one with the 2 deconstructors in it (assuming it hasn't changed). There is also one of the other 'standard' POIs that has (at least in RE1) 3 Advanced constructors in it. The Abandonded Biolab, apart from having the 'hidden' room lined with Xenosteel, and a few combat steel blocks, should have 2 or 3 salvage (or at least it did in RE1). Also the 'exploding' capital vessel only 'explodes' if you salvage it the wrong way. Typically it has 4 medium and 4 small thrusters.. always salvage the thrusters first (and yes the 'outer' blocks will fall off at this point).

Классно!👍👍👍

As a long-time NMS player, I've just got to say this one thing: Setting all the difficulty settings to the highest is more annoying than it is anything else. SO many of the settings do absolutely nothing to make the game "more challenging", but rather, just more tedious - Like you may think initially "oh, having more limited storage will make me have to consider what I'm carrying around more and plan out resource usage more", well, that's what it would be like if NMS was a normal survival game.... but here? All it does is make it so you run out of inventory within about 20 minutes of starting the game and never have inventory space ever again. You'll literally be spending 80% of your time throwing junk out. Scarce goods? All this does is make you unable to spend the massive amounts of money you earn from doing literally nothing early game on QoL stuff, and instead have to manually farm it, which takes 10x longer than just buying it. Scanner recharge? Have fun sitting there for 30 seconds before you can scan again to find that one oxygen plant you're looking for. No, seriously that's literally all this option does. Makes you wait. It has ZERO effect on difficulty. I legit don't even know why it's a setting. Sprinting stamina? Just set this to infinite. All it does is save you time. Combat in NMS is absolutely simplistic, and there are almost zero cases where this will have any effect on the outcome of a fight. Jetpack fuel has a MUCH greater impact on survivability, and is entirely controlled by upgrades. Literally all sprinting stamina does is make you get to your goal slower. Which isn't even that notable, because 90% of movement is done via melee jetpack boosting. And don't even get me started on the absurd grind that is reputation grinding on it's most difficult setting. Fuel costs, unit costs, enemy frequency and damage taken are the only things that actually impact difficulty.... but unit costs might as well be non-existent since units in NMS are practically worthless - It's completely normal to spend between 1 and 20 billion in a single shopping spree, and the difference between expensive and discounted is pretty much barely even noticeable. Fuel costs practically only matter in your first 10 hours of a save, after which you'll have more fuel than you'll ever be able to spend, plus ship upgrades that make stuff like launch fuel almost a complete non-issue. Seriously, you can set this to infinite and barely even notice it other than having to menu less frequently. Which leaves us with enemy frequency and damage. Which... are really up to personal preference. Damage makes traveling more annoying because you can actually end up accidentally dying by jetpack boosting, but also makes enemies actually matter. Enemy frequency.... gives you too much money IMHO on high levels. No, seriously. With the update that has the mercenary guild give you free ammo, and a god-tier weapon available from expedition rewards upon save start, all that really happens by being attacked by more enemies... is you get more enemy drops. Which now include a LOT of extremely valuable items. Unless all you really care about is managing menus, resources, etc., it is seriously WAY more fun on average in this game to play with a lot of the settings on easier settings. NMS IS more-so an exploration game rather than a survival game, after all. And if you want to focus on stuff like resource management... you should honestly probably be playing a different game instead. While there IS plenty of crafting in NMS... it's not the core point of gameplay.

Don't forget: * You need to walk around in a storm (doesn't have to be extreme) * You need to kill 32 /corrupted/ Sentinels, so pay attn to dissonant planets: it's a lot quicker than doing 2 or 2 at a time by digging up salvageable scrap * You need to collect 13 larval cores (at once, so don't harvest them & refine them piecemeal) A hyperdrive upgrade or 2 would be quite useful, as the distances between waypoints are much further than in the previous Expedition. These will help you conserve warp fuel, requiring less chrometal Some hazard protection would be useful for surviving storms & general planetary exploration The red paw symbol means that animals are currently aggressive towards /you/ specifically, but that's not necessarily required to find any generic aggressive animal; simply look out for predators on land & underwater (there are no avian predators AFAIK); these will usually be rare HINT for the kill 4 with 1 grenade: they don't have to be monstrosities, so chuck a creature pellet out & wait for the animals to gather there. An increased blast radius upgrade may help, too

There used to be a mining complex?? that had damaged floor blocks not too far from the core. You could go down through and into a sublevel that had an improved cpu extender. I used to leave that planet with a core three or a core four CV depending on RNGuses.

There used to be a improved cpu extention buried inside and a ways underground in the crashed station. If deconstructed you get the bridges for a CV extention.

Did a fresh start to see how hard it would be to "make" a CV in the starter systems. It didn't take long to get a SV to jump around in the starter system. I used ArtemisRouges The Champ. (Very Cheap) Then started doing some wreck hunting, I usually do Beta system for my starts. With The Champ, and with an advanced radar that I added (a must have item), ran over cpu but not a big deal just repaired the generators every now and then. I managed to find 6 wrecks with CV parts around 2 different planet orbits. CV wrecks are common with the latest update it seems. I've found 30+ medium ion thrusters, 15+ small ion thrusters, 8 large RCS, 25+ large oxy tanks, 10+ large fuel tanks, 8 medical devices, 2 pentaxid tanks, 2 warp drives, 4 large constructors, 1 advanced constructor, 2 large improved generators, 5 large generators, all the steel blocks, doors and hatches you need and a lot of container extensions and tons of other stuff including crew. Threw together an air tight base in space that runs on solar from the 3 wrecked stations I found (plenty of solar panels and compositors around) and made my CV out of parts found and didn't really need to unlock them. Total of about 20 hours gaming over 7 days.

The vendor at the minor settlement sells wiring looms, plus some bits for the alternative MT weapons

Great vid, love the series, keep up the videos

This is gonna get the adrenaline pumping.

If you're not using Activated Copper, turn it into Chromatic Metal, as it doesn't sell for much Scrap that damaged C-class pulse engine mod for the wiring loom: it's not worth repairing Grab the Advanced backpack refiner from the Anomaly & use that to make Deuterium for repairs (& some MT weps) while you're travelling. Don't bother with the base refiner until you get a freighter (& even then it's low priority IMO) Personally I upgrade my ship's photon cannon to max & never bother with any other ship wep: IMO they weren't much better to begin with (esp if you're not interested & don't have much combat experience), & the new ability to divert power between systems pretty much negates the differences IMO WRT ground- or ship-based combat I'd never recommend the shotgun types, as you're going to want to stay at range pretty much all the time: the shotgun's dmg falloff over distance can be quite dramatic even with a bunch of upgrades, & it doesn't have any DoT effects, unlike the sniper & SMG. For someone who likes being a brawler & getting up close to their adversary, it might be fine for the huge dmg it does, but for your & my playstyles, not so much IMO Hint for the Expedition: it's very ground-combat heavy, but you are given all the Anomaly weapon types plus their Anomaly bonuses via completing stages, so you can use this to see which you prefer between shotgun, sniper & SMG. Also, pay attn to the community mission requirements: they're only valid on the Waypoint planets themselves & have to be completed in order, so if you want the Minotaur extras for the final reward, it may be most convenient to complete their requirements as you progress thru the waypoints, tho you can always hop back at any time before completing the Expedition to make some more progress

Hey I just started a realistic revolution era playthrough myself, is there any way you could share a link to your mod collection on steam for the playthrough? I love the buildings

A couple of things. 1. You are defiantly on the right track with regards to mining with the SV to get the last of the resources needed for the Makar. 2. You can toss the graphite directly into the factory so that it counts as carbon substrate. ( it counts as if it’s refined )

You can mod a weapon to have virtually instant reload, very handy.

Don't you need to keep a bit of cash around for trading with Talon villages? Aren't there a couple of large constructors in wrecks you might potentially be able to use, or do their admin cores preclude that? IMO you really should do a full sort around all your assorted small constructors & vehicle storages (plus any base storages you've temporarily used): I reckon you already have at least half the remaining iron ingots required, plus a fair few steel plates scattered between assorted boxes.. plus perhaps a tool turret would allow an SV with harvest module & storage to cut as many trees as you need for the carbon substrate, which may be even quicker than mining graphite

I had a quest to get a short light barrel. 12:36

Looks like you had a cast in your fridge for your broken bone. Bones are used to make casts to cure broken bones.

Look at the cold protection of the spacesuit... negates the need for 2xInsulation boosters for EVA.

amazing video and series, thank you :)

Not a happy bunny. My only base in my save is now on an aggressive sentinal planet. My scientist, farmer etc I cant access because the sentinals are straight on me. Can I transfer them to my freighter? Because I cant use this base now.

The 'Steel' rock is a bug introduced with the previous update; use the mousover tooltip or look in your visor to see what they actually contain Why are you carrying pyrite & gold around in your suit? They're useless there. Far better to keep them in the ship (or just sell the gold) 34:55 That key crate was beneath the undiggable stone bridge; you could have simply dug around the narrow stone to get at it. If a key crate has been opened it won't show up in your visor anymore

Would you not consider using a workshop resource "stuffer"...?

Shame the main story hasn't moved on, but there's lots of side missions to pick up. I found a destroyed zirax space station, which had some nice loot, so it's well worth searching the space around planets.

I was looking at the new assets added with the latest update and they have a whole lot of new armor. One is AI assisted and is a "mission item", best guess is a mission reward for saving IDA?. Others are UCH EVA suit, Battle armor, and Polaris armor. I transferred my game files into a new game and restarted and found a gold deposit on a starter planet. Also found a lot more neo, zasc and erest in space wreck loot boxes.

You need to reverse the video order in this playlisst.

When you assign buildings to a specific workplace and use the other buldings button, you will have a 50/50 split of workers. One half will try to work at the workplace you assigned, and the other half will work other jobs. I watched bbaljo, and he said that when you assign a building to work that way, you should change the priority to where 100% will work at the building you want and 0% should work at other buildings. In that way the game will try and push all the workers to work at your assigned building first, and if there are no jobs it will but the excess workers to work at other workplaces even if the percentage is 0. You should change your powerplant housing to have that configuration, and all wokers will try to work at the powerplant and not only half of the workers with the 50/50 configuration.

I'm not sure what you mean by the MT 'cannon': it has the mortar or grenades as its secondary, else there's the standard boltcaster, the pulse spitter (SMG) or the blaze javelin (sniper) in addition to the scatter blaster (shotgun) you have already It's a waste to refine salvaged data into nanites IMO, as you only get 15 nanites per data. Far better to sell them for units or use them for research; pick up caches, nanite dispensers, damaged machinery & save point beacons etc for nanites Likewise, there's no point in storing excess modules you've previously installed & decided you don't like: any 'used' modules only sell for 16 nanites each, so they're much more useful as resources & wiring looms The storm effects on water take a little while to kick in, but once they do, they scale with the wind power: in high wind events they can be really huge (& lightning striking water is quite dramatic too). Also, take a look at the surf turning into foam as the waves/swells reach their borderline with the shore

I'm under the impression that the expedition starts tomorrow?

Trading cards can be traded to some traders[lol] as mission items. Should be a POL trade station on the moon that has a trader on second level that has a mission for a card for 5000 credit plus 4000 bonus to keep it secret.

Vermillion said he had put out an update and was going to put out another this weekend during Spanj’s livestream. Looks like new assets. COOL. EDIT. Build 17 is live

Completed this a couple of weeks ago, if i remember correctly, there's not a lot more to do. One feature that i like in re2 is the specialised crew members that give bonuses to shields and warp etc. They also give cpu . Nice change.

When using the scatter blaster (shotgun) MT weapon, you really should be up close to do dmg: you were too far away most of the time

Haven't played the game so far this year. This might entice me back in. I will use one of my saves as i like the option to bring stuff into the expedition.

Drill a "cave" for the SV protection...?
