Empyrion - EP05 - Guide to Survive - The Abandoned Base

[@paganizertube]

I gave up on first floor as I never was able to find a way down (or up through vents). Excellent run through.

[@7ftdustbunny]

it can be hard going but it is worth it, maybe give it another go

[@mimic4844]

Hey man thanks for doing these videos,they are very helpful to a beginner.I´ve played a lot of Space Engineers and decided to give this game a try but I´m having a rough time getting used to this game´s UI and all the blocks and what they do.Nevertheless I´m having a good time.

[@7ftdustbunny]

I'm glad the videos are helping you as that was the goal, like any game like SE it takes time to get to grips with, as long as you are enjoying the games it's a win :)

[@Grayson_Phoenix]

(Belated) WELCOME to Empyrion: Galactic Survival! :D :D :D One way to "get used to" the game's UI "and all the blocks" is to dive into Creative mode and just mess around. :) I mean, sure, watch some video, so you can get a Taster, then go build a bunch of stuff to see how the UI works ... Pretty much anything you WANT to build, it will tell you what you NEED to build it - components, intermediates, or raw materials, etc. The game's "Empyrio-pedia" has a LOT of useful info, so while you're "learning", do pop into it from time to time, to enhance what you're already learning. :) And most def. come back for more of 7ft's vids! ;)

[@UnluckMonk]

@49:00 Check your armor durability. If it's destroyed, you're going to get hit hard. Oops. As you found @52:37. Thanks for uploading.

[@7ftdustbunny]

Yeah I had a feeling my armor was toast which was why everything was hurting so much but I didn't want to make a new light armor to replace it, I was hoping for that upgrade :)

[@aleksandrbaranov7888]

Hey brother, thank you!!!! I almost get crazy before met your video!!!!

[@7ftdustbunny]

Glad I could help

I found some small rocks of gold on Akua. Up high in the mountains. Its very rare. You might not find it on your seed if you are flying about too high. I use the Sarab-HST for early exploration. I built a small sv light fighter to explore outer spsce or the orbit of Akua. I recall last time I went to orbit I got blown away from some drones...several of them. I don't know how dangerous or how safe it is now.

[@7ftdustbunny]

These days in the starter areas there is 1 drone max in space. I have never seen gold but it wouldn't surprise me if they have put enough there somewhere to make an EVA boost 😉

[@themadman5615]

2:46 Gold can be found in the deep water biome of Akua, along with the large rocks and alien plasma. It doesn't seem to spawn a lot, but it can be found there, though you're likely going to need to spend a long time searching for it. The only alternative I currently know about is going to Omicron and exploiting the deposit there, or the planetary remnant.

[@TyphonV]

I found a couple of gold rocks in the desert on Skillon. Not sure what biome, I was just passing through and didn't mark it.

[@themadman5615]

Neat, I'll keep that in mind. That being said, I have also found some neodymium rocks in the dust bowl biome of Akua, which was very unexpected but welcome. Which more ore less indicates that you should be able to find just about every base resource on Akua, so long as you know which biomed to search.

[@7ftdustbunny]

Thank you for the tips I have now mentioned that in the vids, I have found a few rocks before on a previous run, this time I was luck or though I think it maybe set loot I got some gold ingots as loot

[@micksmith-vt5yi]

I find it sometimes easier to use the drone to look down corridors etc when doing POI. turrets don't surprise me then.

[@7ftdustbunny]

Yeah I should make better use of it for that but for some reason I like to more run and gun :P

[@micksmith-vt5yi]

@@7ftdustbunny Haha yea maybe i am crappier at PVE lol

[@micksmith-vt5yi]

@@7ftdustbunny Also those other starter planets are only 20km away from yours. so can fly to all before needing warp drive.

[@merwalp]

Doing skillos pir. Missions gives you assault shotgun, and its somewhat easier. After that with full load you can handle abondoned base mission much faster. Also you can store extra guns, medpacks to known cargo storages which reduces time to reach backpack when died.

[@7ftdustbunny]

Putting bits in a storage container is a good idea to help out I like it

[@kerrikwolf4695]

When I'm using an SV I craft a second tent and put it next to my SV to give me a controlled respawn point. When not in use it stays in the SV until I need it.

[@7ftdustbunny]

Oooh that's a good idea not thought of that before as it didn't used to be a respawn point

[@DeusAxios]

I remember I was so mad in the end, I salvaged everything I didn't blow up and left nothing but a crater and filled it up with concrete.

[@7ftdustbunny]

That's a lot of concrete lol

[@stevenallen4718]

I've never spent so much ammo in one area, I'm not even done cleaning out the abominations yet. WHY ARE SO MANY ABOMINATIONS IN THIS BASE😢

[@7ftdustbunny]

This is a though slog in the early game and yes it has a lot of abominations. Though you will notice I do some short cuts to help ease the way, either way you need plenty of ammo

[@Grayson_Phoenix]

48:57 -- just checking ... where the one appeared to kill you, and just before you applied the video "transition", it looked like a SECOND one was coming thru the door... O_O Any chance the 2nd one somehow reached you?? Or was it just the one, with a "Critical Hit" like attack, being so strong? 324/500 is almost 65% of your health - that's a helluva hit! :O There's no "hunger" effect on losing Health, is there?? >_< Your hunger (satiation) was 197/500, just under 40% then..

[@Grayson_Phoenix]

Ah, 52:22 -- your armour had degraded. >_< Yipes. Still, I DO wonder: (a) any chance the 2nd had somehow reached you, and you got a "double hit"? (b) does lack of sustenance affect your ability to TAKE hits? Thanks! :) Thanks for continuing to make your videos, and sharing them all with the EGS Community.

[@Grayson_Phoenix]

53:00 -- Even in prior playthroughs, I'd not bothered to test heavier armours and only ever used the Light.. I see the Jump Multiplier is 0.67 on Light, and only 0.45 on Heavy Jetpack Usage Mult.(??) is 1.2 on Light, and more, 1.73 on Heavy... Usage? Fuel/cells? (I forgot!) Light's Volume is 24 SU, vs Heavy's Volume of 41 SU -- not quite twice as bulky, then... Light can carry 100 SU, Heavy can take up to 200 SU capacity -- those're some BIG POCKETS! :P

[@7ftdustbunny]

Not sure on the double hit but they do hit like trucks and my armor was shredded. On low food you only lose health at zero though it will tank your run speed a bit before that. I'm not sure if they have a crit system or a damage multiplier for if they head shot you that may be a thing

[@iliriberbatovci]

33:52 how do you jump so much that you go on that vent

[@7ftdustbunny]

So I am wearing lighter armor and think I have a multi boost which helps, though the face planting the block below as I did also helps you get high that just straight up not face planting a block. Also make sure your jet pack is on with J

[@qutatron]

10:15 Even geniuses are idiots once in a while. It's normal.

[@7ftdustbunny]

haha, I have quite a few of those moments though

[@qutatron]

@@7ftdustbunny me too.

[@tubesteaktoo]

The assault shotgun DOES suck ... I had the same problem. Shoots rapidly, but no power.

[@7ftdustbunny]

Yeah I lacks the stopping power a shotty should have

[@kerrikwolf4695]

It looks like the 2nd tier and assault shotguns both have bugs where their damage is a lot lower than it's supposed to be. The T1 shotgun hits a lot harder and I use it, even with the slower ROF and magazine capacity. Great series.

[@7ftdustbunny]

@@kerrikwolf4695 Thank you I wonder if they have patched it yet as yeah it just seemed super weak sauce. Though the tool tip numbers also backed up that it was weak

[@fantasygraph]

they used door in a previous version of empyrion then stop to use them...

[@7ftdustbunny]

oh I didn't notic that but I noticed this time lol :P

[@bklough]

I keep trying to click Like and Subscribe, but for the love God, please stop thinking with your mouse hand! FM! It's tweaker twitch city! You're channel, your reality. My 2 cents.

[@7ftdustbunny]

I will try and tone it down I have before but I end up having to slow the mouse and that makes me even worse at shooting lol 😂, but I will see what I can do to make it a bit easier on the eyes as it is a valid point, thank you for the feedback

[@bklough]

@@7ftdustbunny It's everywhere but shooting, so mouse speed isn't a factor. Maybe, lift your hand when scanning inventory? When working on a ship looking it over? It's okay to assume we know what you mean based on you looking at it. If not, we'll see you DO what you were talking about. Again, trying to be helpful, not troll.

[@Grayson_Phoenix]

@@7ftdustbunny - Personally, I'm perfectly fine with a static view of your inventory WITH your mouse pointer going everywhere all over it -- sometimes, I've been able to PAUSE when your pointer is over something NEW, so I can READ the "tool-tip" that appears for it. So.. I actually find it USEFUL that you "think with your mouse hand". LOL When the view is otherwise static, I don't see how or why it would be any bother (eg dizziness etc) to ANYone. Each person is gonna be Different; everyone has their own play style, and also presentation style for videos.. While, sure, I've NOTICED things like this - "thinking with your mouse hand" - I've not seen that it's any "issue" really. O_O

[@Grayson_Phoenix]

There's a "new thing" which seems to be coming mainly out of America -- people are getting into the new habit of telling others that "What you're doing is Triggering Me" and you're supposed to Stop Doing That. As opposed to - say - the person (having an issue) removing themSELVES from "being triggered". I see it in a similar way to how the phrase "to take offense" holds its meaning -- Bob says something not specifically directed at John. John takes offense. John tells Bob and Bob apologises, cuz he's kind enough to do so. But if it's NOT aimed at John in the first place, WHY did John CHOOSE to _TAKE_ offense? John TOOK it; he wasn't "given" it. "To Take Offense" implies the CHOICE to TAKE it. Don't CHOOSE to Take offense then! :P It's like at a Comedy gig, the comedian is telling jokes, and it's aimed at nobody in particular (unless you're one of those hecklers, then really you're asking for it!), but nowadays there's a chance that SOMEone in the Audience will TAKE offense and make a complaint afterward. O_O Like .. what?! Really?!? Comedians PUSH the boundaries of Freedom of Speech, which is Protected by Constitutions. If you're not being singled out, why CHOOSE to Take Offense? Why voluntarily TAKE it? It's being Overly-Sensitive. And then people wonder where the term "snowflake" came from... >_

[@Grayson_Phoenix]

Look, I'm **__NeuroDivergent__**, and I GET IT -- some people may be "affected" by some things that others aren't. WE manage our OWN "issues" within the context around us; we don't "expect" that all our surroundings "conform" to accommodate us -- there's Too Many Variables, too many "differences", too many different types of people, of brains, for "neurotypicals" to have to pander to -- you CAN NOT PLEASE EVERYBODY ALL OF THE TIME -- that is just a plain and simple Fact. O_O But there's a New Generation of Entitlement which is absolutely ridiculous. >_< Professional Clinical Psychologists and/or Professors of Psychology have spoken / written about it... What IS the World coming to..?? O_O (Anyway, that's another entirely Heavy Topic which deserves its own discussion ELSEWHERE.)
