As far as I know it would not matter if you landed in the EXACT spot on the planet you left from..it would be different thanks to the procedurally generated terrain.

The terrain should be the same, since the game is just executing the same math as before.

No idea if the wreckage will still be there.
 
The recipe comes from an abandoned building on a planet after you've completed your first warp. There's really no way to not get that recipe because you need it to travel beyond that system.

You definitely didn't miss it. If you haven't completed your first jump, you're not ready for the recipe.

Oh, I thought you had to use Warp Cells in order to power up the Hyperdrive for the first jump.
 
Can confirm I died in a ship battle and flew back to my grave to retrieve my stuff


The way death works is-

If you die in your ship, all ship inventory is dropped where you die in space, you keep personal inventory.

If you die on a planet, all personal inventory is dropped where you die, ship inventory is kept.
 
Yup helps you out in situations. I had an incident where I pissed off one of the races lol

Holy crap!

Good thing I have 5 crates of Red Bull... It's gonna be a looooong weekend
 
Any idea why I have a message in the bottom right that wont go away stating:

Jetpack Depleted
Wait for Jetpack to Recharge


Its god damn annoying, my Jetpack is fully charged.

Yeah, I wish we could disable the button prompts. They're still sort of useful for me, but in a couple more hours I can see them getting annoying.
 
Are all "trade items" and "unique items" that have green backgrounds just vendor trash? Like "peace spheres" and whatnot?
 
Fuck it GAF, just pre-ordered the game on PS4, little over three hours to go, let's do this. Tired of watching streams all day long.
 
Game has crashed three times on me while warping. I just got my atlas pass. Enjoying the game.
Edit: just crashed out again within seconds.
 
Where do I get Warp Cells?

You have to craft it. You'll need to find some anti-matter, but the luckily the game makes it quite easy for you. You'll get your first piece of it from an Alien on some planet. The game leads you there by giving you a quest to reach an outpost.

You already have the recipe for warp cells, so once you have the anti-matter you can high-tail it out of that system. You'll get the recipe for anti-matter shortly after arriving in the new system.

Oh, I thought you had to use Warp Cells in order to power up the Hyperdrive for the first jump.

You do, though I'm not sure if the DLC ship already had fuel. Either way, you haven't missed the recipe. If your jump drive already has fuel, then cool, you can go to your next system. If it doesn't, a kind alien will give you your first piece of anti-matter. The recipe comes after the first jump.
 
Welp. I encountered my first big bug. My starship floated away. I landed it in a pad at a trading outpost and went off exploring
When I get back, I found it a hundred feet in the air floating slowly into the sky. Now marooned. What can I do? Maybe but a ship from a passing trader??
 
Anyone have the glitch where when you try and take off from a planet, instead of slowly climbing a few hundred feet of altitude, your immediately teleported out into space/orbit?
 
Just had the game hard lock on me and I had to pull the power plug. Then on relaunching the game it crashed again. Thankfully it was the first issue I've encountered in about 6 hours of play. Still frustrating though.
 
Guys,

:( How do I access more slots in my starship inventory? I can only access 10 slots I think.

Thanks!

get a ship with more inventory slots

you find language monoliths that teach you a word of the languages

if you have a dialogue pop-up from one of the NPCs it'll be in their language and any words you've learned will be automatically translated so that you understand it
 
How does it play on PS4? I'm not a framerate/graphics junkie, just need a decent stable 30FPS.
Very stable 30fps unless you enter a new planet at full boost speed and continue to explore at full boost speed immediately

If you slow down for like 10 seconds or so when you enter a new planet it'll sort itself out and there won't be any major drops.
 
Played for about 4 hours last night. Starting planet wasn't that great. Heck, all the planet's in my solar system seem to be kind bleh. Not much wildlife and lots of toxic rain and radiation.


Checked out a few planet's. Trying to get my warp drive up and running. Hopefully get that done today.

Think I'll be playing this for a while. Really enjoying it.
 
Played about 5 hours and safe to say wont be playing again. Got boring quite quickly and the game itself doesnt do a good job to keep you sucked in

so you just paid 60 bucks on something and will simply not try again because "fuck it, I won't play again" :|

OK
 
For those of you who were getting stuck on the hyperdrive thing if you took the pre-order ship:

Right before I quit out last night for the first time, I had bought a new ship from some guy in a space station. That was when the tutorial quest flipped back to the hyperdrive step since I had bailed on my pre-order ship which already had one installed. Upon logging into the game today, I got back into my new ship on the space station and used the L3 star system scanner, and it popped up a beacon on a planet I had not yet visited. Going there pointed me to an outpost on that planet which gave me the hyperdrive recipe. Leaving that planet and using the L3 star scanner again pointed me back to the second planet I had visited, back to an outpost I had already discovered, and the Gek there gave me the Antimatter recipe. So if you are stuck on this part of the tutorial due to the pre-order ship, try leaving the current planet you are on and going into space, and using the star system scanner to see if it finds any signals.
 
just got to a space station and learned an alien word. now I'm investigating a signal on a big ass ice planet.

i don't really understand most of what I'm doing so far, but it's really engrossing. the scale is impressive.

back on my home planet there was an upgrade for my suit that i couldn't afford at the time, but now i can. i take it there's no fast travel in this game?

There's beacons around that you can summon your ship with. You need a chip that's easy to craft.
 
So can you not exit a Planets atmosphere by flying out? First planet I just kept flying up until I went to the menu and chose a new planet because it seemed never ending

Try looking for the nearest outpost on the planet. Most of these outposts have terminals that allow you to call in your ship from wherever it is on the planet. You'll just need a bypass chip, which you have to craft out of Plutonium and Iron(?).

Everyone starts out with the crafting blueprint.

Thanks for DF link and this one helps a lot as well! Hyped. Reasonably... I've seen a lot of the footage today, know what to expect.
 
Man, this inventory management is fucking brutal.

If there is one knock against this game, its this.

1. The amount of inventory slots seems incredibly low.

2. I created a stamina enhancement and it took up a whole inventory slot? Whyyyyyyyyy???

3. Inventory between ship at suit are different. Come on now. Is this necessary?

4. There are like 50 different elements, and a bunch of trade items. Am I supposed to destroy shit all the time? Sell off elements? I don't get it.

I can't even fully explore a planet because I'm constantly fighting this inventory.
 
Goddamn that planet you start on was so dull.

Since then it's been way better though.

Everyone starts on a different planet

Resources are plentiful, so just sell off everything you don't immediately need for crafting or recharging, or just dump some common shit. You'll have a lot more free space.

Wait. Should I not switch ships then? I was just about to switch to my DLC ship

Damn. That's really clever. So you don't even need to translate all of it, you can get the partial idea of what they're saying.

Sweeet.

Could potentially be depressing.

"You've played 239478293847234987 hours"

"What am I doing with my life?"

/played

Into depression we go.
