Astroneer Gameplay - UNLIMITED FREE POWER #13 Let's Play Astroneer

[@gerstensaft2936]

There is a good chance we will have jetpacks in the future. Was a quite interesting dev-stream yesterday. :) Fun fact: Programmed wise the planets are cubes. LOL

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I saw most of the stream, can't wait for jetpacks! :-)

[@blakemosley5965]

Gerstensaft that's cool I forgot about the stream and didn't watch it thanks for the info

[@icanmakerandomthings8734]

you can put batterys on the rover too so you get more power

[@eoyeilert7774]

Gerstensaft F. M,b

[@jollyvoqar195]

You could always trade lithium/titanium for resin at a really favorable ratio... With all that "research" around you've got tons of tradeables (without the cheese of hydro or grabbing)

[@hegmonster]

I'm liking these. I'm actually waiting to see the each one. It helps a lot that you cut out the grinding and showing us the fun stuff.

[@famousmidnight]

That load of resin, lol . Love your game play you really are a pleasure to watch. Love this game, really hope the full game pleases us all.

[@CrypticConsole]

you can use a wintch to move the solar pannel nearer to the bace

[@ytubesucksazznow]

you don't need to physically detach the cars from the ports, when you drive away they automatically do it, only need to do it for attaching, also for new people, if you have things on the front of hubs or on front of cars and you drive near a hub front port, the items fall off.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Indeed :-)

[@BillWiltfong]

It's ironic that the leap and landing featured in the intro lands you right next to resin, and it was never noticed.

[@baileylim9911]

No there wasn’t sped monster

[@alextegrado3465]

Biffa, just a suggestion, You can print the winch and attach it to your truck/rover and connect it to the massive solar panel and drag it back to the base

[@TheRokkis]

By the way, when you "went for it" and dropped in that hole with rover, you basically landed on Resin. It was near/under that plant left on you, you drove over it, but we're so excited you didn't notice =D

[@LauchlinMacGregor]

Such a brilliant move! I'm jealous of the power!

[@E.T.whisperer]

The Purple North pole on exotic (with white trees) is research haven. I have 4 bases set there n use this planet as a staging area to get my ship loaded with Goodies to start bases on all planets..

[@smoothie9931]

( not IRL) I like to think there are mini Emperor Palpatines in each solar panel screaming POWAAA! xD makes me happy :P

[@DemonicBlades18]

Biffa. If you want to get it to work using a rover as a conduit. drag the rover up and plant it down into the ground with two wenches. that way the rover wont blow away.

[@АндрейБеньковский-ш5к]

> We can possibly have one more [battery] No. You can have three more (remove seat from truck and add batteries)

[@nathanj2439]

Андрей Беньковский but then you cant ride

[@kyleconn4679]

I found my thruster under ground at the end of a long green tunnel. You can usually find those dead end tunnels that have something at the end. Found a winch in one of them too.

[@omega696]

The OP'ness of your OP Power system is god. 7 out of 10 for the Scottish accent.

[@mementomori5580]

Seems to me like the best strategy is to always bring enough resources to build a fuel condenser and a trading platform and have a solar panel. That way you can create unlimited amount of fuel which you can trade for whatever resource you need. Might take some time but at least you're not dependend on finding that one resource that doesn't seem to be anywhere on the planet.

[@lockload100]

Great energy production from the panel that planet is fun but so many caves with massive gaps to fall in :-) You should definitely create an underground lair to explore those caves

[@charlesabdouch3052]

On the cart you used to connect the solar panel to the links of batteries to your base, you can remove the seat and add 2 batteries to the cart itself

[@lukelehman930]

biffa i love your upload time! it's perfect!

[@muhammadalfysanjaya6301]

if you want to connect to the solar panel,you just pull the cable for more longer

[@kimdiovenlusaya9123]

Infinite Power = Infinite Fuel = Infinite Resources to trade XD Perfect

[@DrChiYT]

Biffa, the green gas doesn't harm you if you're attached to the tethers. Cheers!

[@BreonNagy]

You literally landed on a resin patch when you jumped the to write down into the blue cave. It was hard to see though. :P

[@Jem_Apple]

Use a winch to drag the solar panel because it doesn't need a lot of recourses to make one :)

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

:-)

[@drakangod]

Hi Biffa, at 01:32 there are 2 minerals. in the left side you can see resin "minerals" oh the floor.

[@donovanroe5419]

I love watching these biffa please never quite this series

[@safetyknight8181]

I took that to my base couldn't pool this off in a hundred years I'm proud of what you pulled off

[@jimstanga6390]

Love your Orange Pressure suit and White Helmet combo.....it's sort of Retro, in a 'Yuri Gagarin' sort of way.....

[@TokyD0069]

Biffy, the research is one research unlock per piece of a specific looking unknown research node or what have you. when you go to research that same piece, you'll get an item instead

[@nathanielhill9782]

Would have been better off winching it back to your base and then hooking it up.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

+Nathaniel Hill I was happy to leave it there, why go for the boring option? ;-)

[@nathanielhill9782]

Biffa: Strategy, Survival & Indie Games Touche good sir.

[@catgodswim]

And he also has a lot of places for batteries! Edit: he says the same later on XD

[@stinknut762]

Best episode of the Astroneer i've seen on YT yet

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

+whatever praise indeed! Thank you :-)

[@bunturigiorgi]

you are funny :D

[@JaguarBST]

all you needed was a winch which you can attach to the solar panel and move it with or without using the vehicles xD

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I know, but didn't want to winch it as this was fun :-)

[@johnpatterson8898]

Hey like this and get biffa to add batteries to the truck as well and get rid of the seat

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

:-)

[@oliverwendt5820]

Exactly what I was going to say! 10 Batteries is probably enough to last through the night without an external power source.

[@LucinskiApps]

you passed the resin at 2:44 :D you literally stood ontop of it :D

[@simplevc2980]

FlexXx i saw the resin

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Dang, here comes 34k comments on it :P

[@LucinskiApps]

yeah :D but i know the feel, sometimes very easy to miss things like that while recording :D

[@Sea_Leon]

You know looking at it, you don't have to build a building on the second tier platforms. Which would leave quite a few slots for like storage.

[@blazenator9240]

I'm pretty sure ur the first guys to do Astroneer for more then 10 ep!

[@ytubesucksazznow]

also if you do the car trick like this, you can get the seat back, and put two large batteries back on

[@isakkristiansen8407]

Biffa you can use Hydrasine to trade free stuff beacuse hydrasine u can make using Power :D

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Indeed :-)

[@petetownsend740]

you are out looking for resin, and driving right by it because you are distracted by the beauty of the planet

[@ben13blue]

I dragged the big panel to my base lol. I didn't know I needed to use a rover as a conduit thanks!!!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

+Benjamin Avendano your welcome, enjoy the free power! ;-)

[@qoryhaiqal2528]

i so happy your upload astroneer

[@jameshenry2457]

Glad I watched this one. I did the same resin road to a panel (could not winch it, even with all the ground gone ((bugged))..) I couldn't connect to the panel. The idea of using a rover for a conduit fixed it right. Thanks for this tip !! Looks like I owe you a sub :) here ya go.

[@zag5434]

Try knocking the panel loose and making it face the sun. The power will be produced faster and longer during the day

[@gabinolopezsanchez7475]

Biffa, you're doing great! Now, if I may suggest something? If you plan to ckeck other planet, how about taking with you a habitat, and enough resources to build two extensions, a fuel condenser and a trading post, and maybe enough compound to build two small solar panels to power the assembly on to start with? Trading lacking resources with the produced hydrazine can be more efficient than finding them all along. At least if you want to just explore the new planet. What do you think?

[@n3rdy11]

They just patched the game and now Hydrazine costs double the power to make and gives only half of the trading credits it gave before. I think by now you are better off farming the resources that are plenty on your current planet and somewhat high value (copper, lithium) and trading those in for what you need.

[@TheRokkis]

I think it's still a good idea, because some planets can be really scarce on compound and resin. My exotic planet doesn't seem to have any, and I mean 3 hours there found 2 blocks of resin 0 compound.. I had to take a shuttle back to terran and get the compound and resin so I could even make tethers. Trading is a lifesaver if you got lots of other resources, but are lacking resin or compound, since you can't get even started without them.

[@n3rdy11]

TheRokkis The planets having different resources with different scarcity is part of the balancing. I haven't been on all of them, but Resin seems to be most common on Terran, while Barren can be a good source for compound with Titanium, Lithium and Coal being below ground, all good for trading.

[@TheRokkis]

Yes it seems there's some balancing. I'm still not sure if the planets are procedurally generated or not, some they they are, but in some video developer is carving one by hand. At some gameplays I just trade for needed materials, but sometimes I just take a flight with shuttle and bring couple of storages full of materials that I might be needing in near future. With good amount of Hydrazine nearby it's rather safe. Well "safe" since vehicles tend to fall through ground upon leaving/entering planet, which can be a pain =D

[@skoski79]

that satalite thing you found under ground if you power it up.it is suppose to do something to your main base.i think panels appear at your base or something seen it in a video last night and he said he went to forums and that's what they say

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Cool thanks :-)

[@mitchs4545]

The power flow is limited because it's only going through 1 cable line, if you spread the batteries throughout your base the power would be able to flow less encumbered, improving efficiency somewhat (greatly)

[@PaleGhost69]

Have you tried to connect a buggy to the ship before take off? Does it disconnect or would it drag the buggy with?

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Pretty sure it's not possible to take it with you :-)

[@PaleGhost69]

I didn't even think it could connect until now

[@NASTYcraftX]

PaleGhost69 no you cant. I even hooked it to a winch and it won't go with yoy

[@PaleGhost69]

Thanks for letting me know! I assumed it was impossible before until I saw you could hook it up. It was just a crazy thought. :)

[@splashy_1235]

PaleGhost69 yes

[@minimanzero2262]

Biffa go between planets to transfer resin from one planet to another

[@minimanzero2262]

Ah you end up doing it in the end

[@garfield1079]

Sometimes I wonder about things in life Like why haven't I subscribed to this channel earlier?... Much earlier.

[@brabodor7307]

You did the same thing as Etalyx but on an other planet with the solar panel :) awsome video

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thanks :-)

[@SMRMUSICATX]

Awesome construction project - cool job!

[@strikeeaglechase1582]

You can connect your car to your bace, then can you move it to the solar panel and use it to connect, don't know if it will work but it's worth a shot!

[@LWolf12]

It'll disconnect, only way to really move them is with the winch

[@strikeeaglechase1582]

I mean use his car to drag a connection to the solar pannal

[@LWolf12]

Strike Eagle Ohh, yea that probably would of worked.

[@Zig__Zag]

Yes more Astroneer :-)

[@thomasdavisiii1]

u can move the solar panels with winches u can even carry the winch by hand like its research

[@Asa-yg2hh]

biffa make a lot of big batteries to save all the power for the night

[@DavidPolakYT]

I'm sure you're aware that if you dig under the big panel enough, it will activate physics on it, then you can just drag it with your hook to your base

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

+Sir Hunningham I am ;-)

[@DavidPolakYT]

Now you are!

[@oliverwendt5820]

Also, you could've used the Titanium from research to trade for a ton of resin. I think Titanium:Resin is like 1:8 or something huge.

[@oliverwendt5820]

DERP 4:44 "No way to trade."

[@ArrowNought]

DUDE i may have just found another glitch!! So you can duplicate items that can be smelted using the furnace (Copper ore and aluminum ore), the way to do it is you fill up the slots on the side of the furnace, you put the stuff you want to duplicate (and smelt at the same time) on the furnace, then you press the button to start the smelting process, right before the energy goes away completely (about one cylinder) you take out one of the items from the side, making an open spot for the first smelted item to go, the first fully smelted item will go in the spot and the second item will start to smelt, but it wont have enough power, so it will only partially smelt. Once it runs out of power, the game decides that you cant have a partial material, so it turns it into a full one. So to repeat this, you need to have the partially smelted ore somewhere (im not sure, iv never tested this, but im sure you can test it) and keep repeating the process to duplicate one of the smeltable materials! Hope Biffa sees this and this wasn't a waste of my time to type ALL of this out!

[@TheYoked88]

this game has consumed my soul

[@kawaikoala5047]

Definition of y x and z in this game y equals depth x equals polygon position and z equals circular axis

[@yishao219]

If you make a habitat and link it to your base it will place the home marker

[@vprjls102075]

if the rover isn't going to be mobile anymore you could remove the seat and put two batteries on it for even more capacity

[@andrewiejaya3621]

I like this series Dude! Dont stop. :)

[@bubbles69138]

you can take the seat off the vehicle and add 2 more batteries there... but I would take the highest points and instead of using batteries, I'd put in wind

[@akmalhamdan5434]

we want more video about astroneer 😂😂😂

[@Jem_Apple]

I love these videos so much keep up the amazing work ^_^

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you 2time_gamer :-)

[@nathanj2439]

When i cant find a resource or its very rare, i whip out my inhibitor mod and just grab as much organic as i can and then trade it for Laterite and Malichite then smelt them then once i get a good amount i can trade my aluminum & copper for the resources i need but cant find.

[@lukeweitkuhn5200]

use the crane to get rid of those plants that spit gas at you.

[@animeroxtoo]

ahh. i remember the old mindcrack days. simpler times. lol

[@avantheim452]

instead of resin you could have used compound and made rovers, connecting them to get the power

[@NASTYcraftX]

they nerfed the trading pretty hard. so I think you can abuse it still with a clear conscious lol

[@yishao219]

You can link the rover to the solar panel and drag it

[@bluelobster56]

excellent driving skills !!

[@Csonic6]

you can make a winch and drag it to your base, I did =3

[@SpaceSoups]

You can move the solar panel with a winch

[@noodleboi4215]

biffa you can use the winch to pull the big solor panel

[@bengineer8]

he doesnt want to risk having it fall in a hole

[@RizdianDinata]

you should grab it with crane and witch

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Could do but was happy to do it this way this time ;-)

[@Djkudos14]

Awesomeness

[@therandompoobond2527]

love this game and merry christmas

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you therandompoo bond :-)

[@luke70533]

its like a whole other world

[@cactilord7578]

More Astroneer please!

[@4Smoke2It0]

great vid as always

[@strikeeaglechase1582]

Yay! Time lapses!

[@donaldbunch5766]

thank biffa amazing episode so far love it thanks

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

You're welcome :-)

[@oliverwendt5820]

Keep doing Astroneer! I would get it but I own like 4 Macs and no Windows. I also own an Xbox 360 but you need Xbox One!

[@r3njj879]

I think you are the best youtuber ever!

[@ChristopherInglish]

That's an Awesome job!

[@bradyklecan4507]

Dig the big solar panel free and winch it to your base!!

[@cool2late886]

I love astroneer

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Me too :-)

[@nomekop777]

you can still put two more batteries on the rover

[@yishao219]

If you dig under the toxic vents it kills them

[@NIBIRO80]

would be nice to see you go multiplayer, and to see if that makes things easier or more complicated

[@NIBIRO80]

especially when you see that the few YT-ers i follow playing this game are all simular in what doing when and how, would be nice to see them coöp on a map

[@Sveinfyr]

check out northernlion, he's a pretty nice youtuber and is doing a 4 player co-op of it right now ( you have 4 different perspectives to watch :D )

[@chubbycubscout9482]

Biffa should use a big generator because it only uses lithium

[@halefire2002]

how much better is that solar panel than the regular large, printable one?

[@skoski79]

Another good one m8.

[@revvilo]

I got the stupid solar panel in my world but whenever I reload/relog into the area where it is, it just floats away, or glitches into the ground and vanishes off somewhere once it's finished spazzing out

[@marekyoav6425]

you can find resin under graund

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

:-)

[@jonahb573]

Buffa put a winch on the satalite

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

I explained in the vid why that might not be a good idea here, plus I like what I did instead. But next time I use one for sure, winch it is :-)

[@jonahb573]

ok thank you for responding. keep up the good work.

[@akakaraj.8121]

I have a question about astroneer. How can the gas kill you because your in the suit. Doesn't it block out the gases?

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

+Greg Jones it's acid :-)

[@joehealy1136]

No it is probably not acid because acid is a liquid not gas and to answer you're question Greg, my guess is that the oxygen you breath is filtered out of the gases already on the planet and that particular one won't get filtered for some reason and you end up breathing it in

[@pxngz7154]

Acid can be a gas...
