Evading Dirty Nasty KLEGS [Ostranauts S1 EP1]

[@clbrans1]

Just a little PSA for anyone watching this: PDA's themselves do not sell well, but the certain files on them do. I've seen as much as under 7k. If you hack a PDA in your inventory it will show up as yours, but if you hack it after dropping it on the ground it will show up as a different name when you transfer files(Which you can access from the Home menu under Files). Selling fully restored thrusters on the black market are a reliable way to make money, as you can often repair them with the material you find on the derelict and they are on just about every one you board. In the current version they sell about as well as reactor cores if you consider that you can fit two for every reactor core piece.

[@Greenbeef]

Great advice, don’t do what I do this early in this run, I had no idea what I was doing. Hah

[@clbrans1]

@Greenbeef Learning is definitely half the fun in this game, and it was interesting to see someone go through a similar thought process as me when unlocking a PDA. "There is a hacking skill, so surely there is some value I can get from this PDA that I found laying on the ground."

There is ALWAYS a welder and a knife in the room the tutorial wants you to install a conduit (giant text on the floor). Use prybar to open so you can use the conduit on a room in the same corridor to get some antibiotics and painkillers. There is ALWAYS a prybar in the room to the right from your room. You need to turn on a switch to open the door. There is ALWAYS some form of tool in the small lounge/computer room just above the TV area. Do gigs to make enough money to buy a license. Clothes have pockets so use that to your advantage, they basically turn one slot in your backpack into at least 4 (harness pants have 4 pockets and a clip point for a total of 14 slots!). The orange jumpsuit is crap as you can't access it's inventory from your backpack or floor, you have to wear it.

[@Greenbeef]

I’ll have to go pillaging those rooms and probably run a few gigs off camera. Didn’t think of using the pockets to expand the backpack. Good tips.

[@Brandurful]

It's a pain in the arse to remember what you put where but it does enlarge your inventory quite a bit. Keep in mind that the backpack will become very heavy so take it off when maneuvering to reduce the G's. To take it even further, a crate fits in one hand and a backpack fits inside a crate...

[@Greenbeef]

🤯

[@LtDan-fy7lc]

Came here to mention to welder and knife room, but had no idea about the rest (except the pockets within pockets, I exploit tf out of that lol). Nice tips.

[@LtDan-fy7lc]

This game hits the weirdest sweet spot for me. It's tedious, confusing, at times buggy/unfinished, and unforgiving as hell, but playing it is like comfort food for my soul. There is nothing quite as satisfying as eventually getting your starter fully repaired/restored. I started with the same pos that you did, in fact - and now I have a room coming off the left-hand side that could fit the original ship inside with room to spare, plus an outer platform I am planning out as my Reactor room. Slowly collecting the parts for that. Though it is becoming difficult to balance the scrape & scrap grind, squirreling away parts for myself, and all the while keep up with my character's sleep. I made the mistake of not paying attention to that meter and assuming that one night's worth of sleep would alleviate it - I was very, very wrong, and spent nearly 3 full days sleeping on a bed in my ship (which I kinda sorta stole from K-LEG; I got tired of having to wake up once per hour to pay my docking fees), waking up only to adjust my course to avoid derelicts and Ganymede itself. Needless to say, definitely stay on top of your character's sleep. I'd recommend following the sleep timing of the shift clock (the periods of the shift during which the meter turns blue)

[@Greenbeef]

I do a good job eventually turning this starter into a fairly large ship, but I failed to maintain my sleep horribly. The game has a charm to it despite its clunky nature. Looking forward to future updates.

[@lance7135]

You can set barter zones aboard your ship to streamline the selling process. If you land yourself with a flying coffin, the one nice thing is the dirt cheap ship payments. Absolute first priority for those is to salvage a functional air pump and O2 tank. You can set those up to restore oxygen that you lose while coming / going from derelicts. For me, I used my hacking skills in OKLG commercial to get into the life support room. I factory-reset the door, set my own PIN code and then locked myself in to uninstall that equipment, then move the pump and tank to my ship. No harm no foul, and I put new ones back after my first salvage run :P I now have a huge freight deck for lots of equipment, and I'm paying 200 and change per shift.

[@Greenbeef]

Ah, that’s what the zones are for. I have to look into the component installation process. I’ll prioritize those items. Looks like it’s time for me to loot the station with my 1337 h4x0r skillz.

[@Melganor]

Ooh! Nice!

[@Greenbeef]

Now with 100% less collisions!

[@Melganor]

@@Greenbeef haha

[@Jinxswift]

WOOHOO!!!!!!! I've been struggling to pay attention to other people playing this on YT but GreenBeef is always great. So happy you're playing this.

[@robertcarruthers7337]

is it a greenbeef space game if the ship is not falling apart with latge holes in hull :P

[@Greenbeef]

We’re just missing a kitchen fire!

[@StarlasAiko]

Flying coffin. You're brave. I tend to try to avoid that. For saving space, put your shoes in the hip pockets of your coverall before taking it off.

[@Greenbeef]

Brave or stupid? Maybe a bit of both. I did a little bit of inventory management off camera last night and finally started using those pockets. Quite a bit to take in initially.

[@gregwenzel2871]

Nerds... In... Spaaaace!!!

[@Greenbeef]

Nerds with shat pants.

[@joelmitchell7597]

.14 is so good. I love the new stuff

[@Greenbeef]

Seems like I came in just at the right time.

[@TheAdversary238]

I'm so down for this, I'm 12 hrs into the game and on my third poor scrapper.

[@Greenbeef]

I’m about 4 hours in and about my 5th dude, hah.

[@Diarmuhnd]

Haha, good luck

[@Greenbeef]

I’ll need it with this junker.

[@lucas23453]

Yo this is my most recent ship! I contemplated getting a new ship entirely if I'm honest, but I pushed through and now I am scrapping an enormous freighter to add a common area and cargo netting space.

[@Greenbeef]

I feel like that’s the main game loop; take the biggest hunk of junk and turn it into a beast.

[@StrappedPete]

Your microphone sounds really good..

[@Greenbeef]

Thanks. Invested in some good gear and lots of practice learning how to edit my audio. Tons of trial and error.

[@alex4alexn]

new sub here, love this game and am trying to learn,, thus i found you. I do know that with those PDAs, you do that unlock thing that you did but it is those 4 or so files listed in the PDAs that get sold at the black market for TONS of money for some of them. So it is more the files. I think if you click on the files it quickly tells you if the file is about a murder or sabotage or blackmail and then you go sell it. Look forward to the next episode, cheers

[@Greenbeef]

There are so many hard lessons learned like that since this is my third run ever… first two resulted in death within minutes hah. I swear I get better eventually.

[@alex4alexn]

@@Greenbeef all good, ill be sticking around for the next episodes, thanks for the content. Hope i learn as well

[@IstvanK_PC]

At the begining you looked like you were showing off your brand new nvidia 17090rtx card with the new iphone 89 for an instagram shot. The beard and glasses fit an influencer. Stripping dudes and hacking safes. What a start of a career. Have to say, the fact that you have to carry everything to sell is a major inconvenience. I think SC wanted to implement this, and I really don't like it. Helmet mechanic is cool, and the overlay as well, but the glare on it in the middle should be removed or be dynamic so it doesn't look like an error. The tutorials I saw the guy was uninstalling everything, especially containers. I think this type of games funnel players to one playstyle to have optimal progression. It's not bad, it just doesn't feel as freeroam like as the game looks.

[@Greenbeef]

I think you can get cargo netting to sell directly from the ship. I’m not sure though. I think my goal for this run is to refit a derelict and keep it running.

[@sirnirvikingur]

@@GreenbeefPress N to go in to the zoneUI, Mark an area in your ship and press add newzone. Hit barter for the zone. Voila, now you can sell everything in your ship.

[@Greenbeef]

Nice, I’ll do that.

[@GoldenSerpentTree]

oh my god, ur voice is so cool! I feel like you'd be great at doing audiobooks. Anyways love the episode will 100% watch the rest of these

[@Greenbeef]

Thanks. I tried to dabble in voice over work a few years back when I started my channel, but AI gobbled up all the newb jobs. I may attempt to get into the narration side of it again soon. I’ve done a few readings of in game lore before.

[@abdoobaset6100]

I subscribe because I need your voice in my life

[@Greenbeef]

There is quite the backlog of content out there. I’m a bit on the industrious side.

[@DocHogan]

Playlist order (3-2-1-4) is….interesting?

[@Greenbeef]

KZbin changing the default order on me. I’ll fix it.

[@saureco]

5:18 that's dumb how you consume a year of your life just for seeking a ship. That should use no time at all. Hope the devs fix that.

[@Greenbeef]

The character creation is a bit odd. I get the time investment as a balance function, but it’s not the clearest.

[@sirnirvikingur]

Well, you are showing progress. It would be best if you did adventures until you were 35. hell, I was 43 in a game I'm playing now, at least get 5k$ to be able to buy a license. Also, you took the worst bucket in the fleet, though the other ones are nothing to shout hurra for. Anyway practice make perfect, GL

[@Greenbeef]

I figure I’ll do a few gigs off camera to make enough for the license. I picked a real junker lol. Good opportunity to learn ship repairs.

[@joshbarbella6470]

Were you Airborne? The title is too suspicious to Airborne School.

[@Greenbeef]

I sure was. Successfully fell out of airplanes and helicopters.
