My First Combat Craft - Empyrion Reforged Eden

[@TheBeltline49525]

Great stream! You don't have to run back n forth to put fuel into the generator, you can do that from your inventory and switch ur inventory to the base & what container you want and grab your fuel source and put it in the generator. Excited for the next one.

[@markcunningham2243]

In the last few years I've seen you create many many ships but I think this is the 1st time you put a spotlight on before you got where you were going :)

[@davidf3696]

Flipsie, Flipsie, FLIPSIE!!! Efficiency is the game in RE. 1) Container controllers and extenders are much more compact and can hold way more than cargo/harvest/ammo containers. 2) you don’t need to run to your containers and grab fuel/oxygen/pentaxid for your bases and vessels. You can manage all of that from your “P” menu and load up directly from you containers. Hope you get to read this and it helps.

The lil octopus aka 'aww, you guys made me ink' would be suiting for Tiffi, at least in a 'aww, you guys made me explode'-version. 😉🤣

lol :D

Alien blocks can be painted with emissive colors that give a faint area glow. Useful for mood lighting.

[@Flipsie]

I'm looking forward to having the time to mess around with more building pieces going forward, should be fun being able to paint individual surfaces as I've never really had the time to do that in my prior time playing EGS :)

Autominers: Autominer cores can be found in any ruin/POI and are found in the cylindrical containers that have different rarities. Low chance. They can be bought from traders (usually in space stations) for around 25-35k credits so relatively expensive but worth it they go on regular deposits. Your deposits wont deplete as you have put that in the settings. They will NOT mine Gold They will mine anything else When you sleep in a bed or tent to skip 8 hours the game will simulate the amount of ore they would have gathered. So if you are short on something it can be worthwhile to bring a tent to sleep a bunch of times next to your autominer (Because it IS insanely slow. Btw, same works for any other deployable resource gatherer like O2 Gen and Hydrogen Gen.) Armors: I got mine via buying because even when i researched the armor, I could not find the parts i needed to make a better armor. And yes i started my own Reforged Eden playthrough parallel to yours so I can actually give tips on things I know rather than what I guess should work xd. Though I personally can not play with volume limiter on because it just slows the game down to a crawl and is annoying as hell. And yeah a bunch of mats from the salvage got wasted. When I salvaged it by collapsing it I got a LOT more plus I also used the salvage core, that is meant for exactly that, to collect some parts in one piece like the Constructor Also You can technically travel in your small vessel to space as soon as you can fly as long as you bring Oxygen with you. If you have an oxygen tank on your vessel it will put Oxygen into all attached cockpits as long as the vessel has power The vents are only needed if you want to have open spaces with air like a cargobay and alike. Cargo Extensions: Cargo Extensions need to touch only one Cargo Controller so they do not conflict with one another. They can touch diagonally though without interfering with one another. Landing Gears: As it says in their description, they only lock to Bases and CV's. Only to onces you own thus far or that are friendly to you. They don't lock onto terrain. That or I havent figured out how to make them lock to regular terrain. Also, you can hide the HUD entirely for screenshots using F6

Cant wait to see how you go in some aerial combat later in the game. Hope your steam is up and running again soon. I recently saw a title called sunkenland and the play on it made me think of how you and Capac play. Might be worth a look if you have not already.

[@FlagrantVagrant]

Sure a moon is usually a strong bet for Pentaxid deposits. But I've never had any trouble finding small irradiated areas containing surface crystals on any of the starter planets.

[@Flipsie]

I didn't see any in the times I flew over the forests so I wonder if that's something that the RE mod changes?

[@FlagrantVagrant]

@@Flipsie Ticklies in my memory centers are saying, look in the scary purple alien-looking forest. Probably. It's usually a matter of finding wherever it is that your geiger counter starts ticking that is not a function of some poi.

[@beardedone9]

Should just use harvest control holds more and works the same as container controler

[@dardyvader9460]

You might need some cobalt from the Moon as well.

[@gavintaylor7304]

i am enjoying your streams immensely. Well done! and ims you are right, people dont play this for its beautiful vistas, the dream ships that can be built, but so they can kick the front door down on a POI and make shotgun meet face, then loot the base for reward. Thats survival. SE is good too but its not the same as EMS.

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

curious as to the potential of how the other scenarios for Empyrion to sort add flavor and more distractions.

[@planetbob4709]

Once you build your first large grid mining ship you will wonder why you bothered with any small grid miners to begin with. Work on getting a solid fuel source IE Promethium and then build a large grid miner and mine asteroids. Large grid drills can not mine in atmo. speaking of games to play I wonder if you might like a game called X-Com Apocalypse published around 1998. It has two game modes, turn based and real time(pause with spacebar) last I checked it is still available on steam with a dosbox app to make it run. Best RTS game ever made.

[@JPMistic]

again, you get a epic drill when you finish the story line, but you want to build a miner rather then hand mine

[@edwarddesposito4476]

should you put a fridge in your fighter to carry food for longer missions?

[@Flipsie]

Yep, it's something I should do going forward

[@edwarddesposito4476]

​@@FlipsieYou seemed to stop using the bike full stop after building the fighter. Don't forget it is there. :)

[@williamgodard1526]

If you and Capac play baldurs gate 3, capac should make a dwarf and call him compac. Lol,silly thoughts floating threw my brain...

[@williamgodard1526]

Here from the northeast, although your videos come out at perfect times(usually 7am eastern) I can never catch a live stream.

[@suduko6666]

does anyone else hear what sounds like a squeaky belt whenever splities at his base

[@stormworksgamer922]

Are u going to get capac into this

[@popinjayishuman]

I question the usefulness of small vessel drills. It was bothering me so I tested it. Using a drone It took me 1 minute and 55 seconds to clear a deposit. When you are using your ship it takes over 2 minutes just to get to the level of the ore. As sad as it is, it really seems like ship mining in this game is a waste of time. I'm still early game so maybe there are bigger deposits out there but I've yet to come across any as of yet.

[@Flipsie]

I guess if you're using a ship's inventory then the drone could be far better - especially once you've gotten hold of the better hand drill.

[@popinjayishuman]

@@Flipsie Yeah, I’m also not sure if the hand drill is nerfed or not in RE. I’m playing vanilla so that might make a difference. For example, I don’t have access to large cargo on a small vessel. My current ship only has about 2600 capacity so it’s really only one or two deposits I can clear before heading back.

[@kokojack]

@@popinjayishuman The hand drill is worthless in RE, vehicle mining is the way to go

[@popinjayishuman]

@@kokojack good to know, will probably give RE a try sometime if I stick with the game👍

[@tadferd4340]

A major factor in SV mining is vehicle design. If you build a miner than is effectively a cube, you can mine deposits very quickly. You just dig straight down to the deposit, dig it out, and leave.

[@darthshokon]

you can just double click the research instead of clicking unlock

[@Flipsie]

Thanks, I got there eventually :D

[@daz8405]

Enjoying watching this series but, what the hell is causing the flickering lights in the bottom left and right corners when your flying the fighter-car? It's really awful... Other than that - how about a trio of rocket launchers on the front of it? Just thing that might be funny to watch...

[@FlagrantVagrant]

It's not a proper youtube gaming vod experience if you don't rip out your hair because the thrusters are idling for 15 minutes.

[@BannorPhil]

Pretty sure I know what a cargo container is, but what are cargo controllers and cargo extensions? What do they each do, and what are the differences between them? The Empyrion Wiki doesn't explain very well (or at all). Do you need to use all 3 blocks?

[@Flipsie]

As I understand it, a cargo container is what you think, just a box. A cargo controller connects cargo extenders to become a very strangely shaped cargo container. 1 controller to many extenders makes a big funnily shaped container 🙂

[@BannorPhil]

@@Flipsie Thanks for the info, but I think we're both (especially me!) missing some information. If cargo controllers connect cargo extenders, then what are cargo extenders for? Why not just connect cargo containers together using the cargo controllers? It's all very confusing! I'm hoping someone else will chime in and make everything clear for us. :)

[@Flipsie]

Containers can't be connected, only extenders can be. So the only way to make oddly shaped cargo systems that are a single entity is to use a controller to connect up all the extenders :)

[@balzardragon4352]

@@BannorPhil The Cargo Container is the initial container to put stuff in, the Cargo Extenders extend the volume of said container, the more extenders you add, the more cargo space you will have.
