@@Mercxry_404 my external hard drive broke when I was reinstalling windows and I lost all of my settings so I had to slap dash some obs settings together for this week until I either recover the data or start over from scratch which is why everything is a little fried this week.

WHO WILL PET THE DOGS IF NOT YOU?!

@@Bread4.0 I don’t know who TheRadBrad is but thank you very much for the lovely comment. Have a fantastic week!

@@9Nifty You’re right, it didn’t. We’re all still waiting to see how Tango is going to work under Krafton considering the team got cut in half though at least the half no longer there all still found work before the acquisition. Hopefully it will be fine considering they also have Unknown who make Subnautica. and I need Subnautica 2….

THAT IS A WILD THING TO SAY WHAT

I HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO TAKE IT

Do you think it was the vibe of the game that kept you going? Would another open-world game in Modern Japan (Like Yakuza/Like a Dragon) work for you as well do you think? I ask because I also appreciate the way the game looks as well but couldn't get into the mechanics at all.

Thank you for the explanation. Mobification being a sort of zombie mode makes sense, good change up from the standard hide and seek.

Realized this afterward....the shame....

@@FlagsonFire there is no shame

Thanks for this. I didn't realize how useful it would be on steam with the workshop support. That is an unfortunate negative in getting it on epic, even if it's free.

@@FlagsonFire I read on the Steam forums that they're working on making it so that you can access the Workshop with an Epic install. In the meantime, it might be worth your while just to have a look at the Workshop and see what's possible to build in the game. Its building system is amazing; I'm just not really wanting it to get into it (yet?), aside from making modifications to blueprints I use. There are also scenarios on the Workshop that you can play. Reforged Eden is the most popular one. I'm playing that now, and it adds significantly to the game. But since it is a scenario and not really a mod, you can play the scenario as well as a vanilla game without having to remove mods or keeping different folders. That's kind of nice. Anyway, you're right that there's a lot to this game and no way are you going to cover it in 30 mins. The tutorial series I've watched were 30-some episodes long, ranging from 30 to 90 minutes each. So, there's survival (especially at the beginning, when you don't have a ship or food or anything), building (first thing you want to build is a hoverbike; you do that with the constructor that's part of your suit, the same thing you can make energy bars and bandages with, and it means you don't have to walk/run everywhere, especially in hostile environments), exploration (once you build/spawn a ship), trade and diplomacy (of a sort; there are factions that you can build relationships with that give some benefits), FPS combat in dungeons, ship-to-ship combat in space, PvP if you play on a server, etc. I think the goal was to take bits and pieces from all the space game and merge them into one. It ends up as a "jack of all trades, master of none," in my opinion, but I'm having fun playing it. There are the usual bugs and stuff, and I've discovered that it's very easy to screw up. Like, I had a situation early on where I'd gotten pretty far in a save, but when I died once I clicked the wrong respawn option and ended up on a different planet in a different system than my ship, with no way to get back except to build another ship capable of traveling that far. I ragequit that save, but it taught me to use the backup feature often! That stuff aside, in my opinion, this tiny studio (I believe it started as a one-person "team") has done a pretty good job integrating all of the game's various aspects. Even so, as I said, I have 700 hours but I feel I've only scratched the surface. Partly because of my own screw-ups, of course. I'd say I've only ever reached mid-game, but I'm happy to take my time and figure things out. Overall, if you're going to stick with it, I'd recommend starting over, this time NOT on Ningues (the snow planet), but on Akua, which is a nice, lush, temperate planet where it's easy to find things to eat and other resources. Just follow the story, which introduces you to one of the game's factions, and you'll figure things out. :) I can't say I really recommend the game's tutorial. It confused me more than anything.

@@memyselfandi4173 Spanj has a video out on how to use Steam Workshop items on the Epic EGS

THERE WAS NO TIME!!! (◞‸◟ㆀ)

@@FlagsonFire 100% would watch a longer video about this game tho =D Trying it myself atm and found out that i could make hot beverage to not freeze to death

@@Tronder_91 THAT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE I WILL NOT BELIEVE YOUR GALACTIC LIES

Thank you for this. It's too bad it doesn't work in atmosphere, but that would require a Star Citizen level of flight model.

@@EyesFoward I stupidly realized that late so I jumped off. I thought I had turned the ship off…

@@FlagsonFire Cool. Happens to me too.

@@craggyjack5976 Great description.

Lol modern version…the only thing close to what you think is a modern version of this is called star citizen.

@@cobracommander192 I thought star Citizen didn't have ship building. It looks pretty, but no player designs..

@@craggyjack5976 that’s true, but it’s the only other game that comes close enough to this game that feels more modern at the moment. That’s why I love Empyrion. Even though it looks like it was developed in the mid 2000’s, it pretty much ticks all the boxes I wanted from a space game fro a long time. It could very much be better, but I like what it is regardless.

@@cobracommander192 yep, think I'll go start an re2 game.. are if its ready to play yet.

Are you familiar with Volume, wifi building and CPU? the game has changed.

@@torgrimhanssen5100 As far as I know, volume effects storage, wifi connectors are used to expand and connect logistics networks, and CPU is just a way to limit the size of your builds. Talking about it makes me want to play it again, I haven't made any cool space ships in too long!

@@ConnyWest98 one of the challenges to new players is getting used to blocks that exceed your player inventory, I have seen to many times a player complain how long it takes to make a starter base due to no suit / minimum capacity only allowing you to carry 5-10 blocks (Base/CV). As an example, slapping together a hover vessel is quite easy, but a SV and later CV will require a base constructor (SV and CV starter block). There is also that beginner problem with starter planet, Akua is the planet most should start out on, other planets have hardcore starter resource limits. Like if you want to do a Dead world start, you must know how to build without factory, know that some materials are excessively rare etc. RE2 Pandora looks like a simple start, but it has practically no wrecks limiting materials until you get into orbit. And then there is planets with deadly fire from the sky, no oxygen and high radiation (excessively deadly to beginners). There is also deadly hailstorms, acid rain, radioactive fog etc. Heavy acid rain as an example will kill you regardless of protective gear in 10-20 dmg ticks.

An incredibly helpful reply. Thank you very much. Edit: BUT ALSO SNOW PLANET I HAD TO!!!!!!

@@FlagsonFire Spaceship...snow planet...you wanted this to be Hoth.

One of the best answers. Starting on Ningues as a total newbie is a joke. He said before, he should have started with the first option. The Nigues start is extremely hard, you need to make a lot of herbal tea to keep yourself warm an get a base or HV fast. Doing this without a death is close to impossible. But as the original poster stated, the vanilla game is nice, but the real game experience only comes with scenarios like Reforged Eden. There are some more nice scenarios but the truth is, Reforged Eden is the most played.

Been playing both for thousands of hours....let's say each one has what the other lacks... Let's hope these two games have a son sometime....

@@MaurizioCrd So much this. The mechanics of Space Engineer within the world of Empyrion, properly made, would be incredible.

It was dated when it came to Steam. Aren't the devs just modders? At least they haven't done anything for the clumsy movements and disgusting UI in the whole time. I'd love this game to get better but i lost hope years ago, now all i have is impotence.

I was trying to remember the term "decoupled mode" from other space sims. Thank you for trying it was bugging me so much.

Thank you for all the information. The reasons you listed are the reasons I would have guessed but usually people get over those things very quickly after being immersed and don’t openly complain about them quite so much so I was surprised.

​@@FlagsonFire Welcome to Empyrion. We love the features, but we wish another, better game could offer them. Unfortunately, there's none. So here we are 🤷🏼‍♂

It is indeed on PS5, sir.

THANK YOU, SIR!

If you have steam, you could try adding DNF to steam from epic. Steam has native support for the ps5 controller and you can force it to work even on non steam games.

@@graphicshark33 WHAT IS THAT?! ISN’T CAN THO IN VIETNAM?!!!!!!! ALSO DIALECTS ARE A THING THEY MADE UP TO STOP THE YELLOW TURBAN ARMY FROM EVER RETURNING!

@@mindfuqq YOU WERE RIGHT AND I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PATIENT!

Not the same devs. But fun fact, Dicey Dungeons is developed by Terry Cavanagh who also made VVVVVV. And I think that’s cool.

ANOTHER SATISFIED CUSTOMER!

WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS?!!?

Yes, I didn't realize until the recording was almost done that something went wrong between OBS recording and auto HDR. This is the only time this happened and I was hoping no one would notice, so OF COURSE the developer would show up ( ﾉ；；)ﾉ~┻━┻ The game looked great for me. And it moves really well. You've got something really cool here. Thank you for your work.

@@FlagsonFire haha as long as you know where it failed. :). Glad you are aware. Don't worry about it..always appreciate anyone checking out my weird games ;)
