RE-FUELIN' PROBLEMS? - Ostranauts v14 - Ep 6

[@RealLuckless]

A second fire extinguisher tends to feel worthless, right up to the point you're holding an empty one while staring at a fire that isn't yet out...

[@malikbenslimane2873]

This is one of the best sentences i've ever read lol

[@clovermite]

Have fires been implemented in the game yet? I thought I read that it won't be put in until after ship to ship combat

[@DeathBean89]

@@clovermite i don't think that fires are implemented yet. I'm about 50 hours into my playthrough, and I haven't seen any yet.

[@LottoTheWizzard]

A few things, your ship does not have an N2 sensor so it does not auto pressurize nitrogen. You do have an O2 sensor and it is connected to your O2 pump so it will auto fill oxygen to around 23kpa. The NPCs are not fully fleshed out and they refuse to allow other ships to dock to their ship even if they request fuel. IIRC there is a way to force dock NPC ships and transfer fuel to them from the docking interface. It is best to ignore their calls for help as when you dock with them they can try to move their ships, and moving a ship while docked will break both ships, I have actually lost a character from trying to help a ship once.

[@kevin_glitch]

While I also thought that was the issue, the NPC was stating that he needed to change his vector. Even when close to stations, if you aren't lined up with their docking ports, they will say your out of range. I think the issue was actually he wasn't lined up with their docking ports. What made it worse was their constant rotating even though they were claiming to need fuel.

[@Defiler86]

Got me playing this, and solid 20 hours in so far. As for fixing the ship, helps a ton. Was scrapping a ship and can back with a hull breach from a minor bump or something. (Luckily had a proper EVA suit, and had to go back to the station with no atmo.) I read about random impacts that can occur, so just frequent repairs help a ton. As for the emptying and and filling. The bar empties when 'repairing', and fills while 'restoring'. Often get paid tons more when a component is 'like new' over it barely working.

[@thomasrial4444]

Don’t forget your helmet. I forgot my helmet my first run…

[@crit-c4637]

Yeah, the npc ships can be quite dumb and crash into you. I've been docked on the OKLG station and knocked prone cause an npc was crashing into the station repeatedly.

[@PhxVigo]

Hey Quill, the way I have found to go through the airlock without losing air from your ship is to click to walk on the striped door (the outer airlock door for the ship you are leaving). Then stand there until the door auto closes. It will look like it's closed on top of you and if you are pulling something, it will look like it is still on the wrong side of the door. Nevertheless, once the door is closed, you can proceed on to your destination. As long as both outer doors (the ones with the red/white stripes) are not open at the same time, there does not seem to be any atmosphere loss. Unfortunately, if your character is on auto, they barrel through without waiting for the door to close and you lose some air.

[@dftp]

I just built another airlock compartment in between the outer and inner doors, though your suggestion does seem to work as well, it's just kind of finicky to not accidentally get your guy to open both doors anyway.

[@mikkosaarinen3225]

The arcade cabinets are really profitable btw 😄 Those are a priority item. And yeah, there's a bunch of jank in the game and playing does require some tolerating that. The blue thing with N2 canisters that you passed right next to the second 1x1 bin you got is a Miura "Hydra" it's super rare and also really useful in your own ship. If the wreck still exists and you didn't get it, you should go back immediately. The bins and other containers are really the least interesting/important parts of the ship. So you should really be doing an extra round for any equipment you missed, like the Miura intake regulator (sells for about 7k+ iirc, I've never sold one since the only one I've found I installed in my ship)

[@ScientistMan96]

I literally just noticed that Hydra while watching, and my eyes went wide watching Quill just wander around past it. That thing is AMAZING for space savings on your own ship, as it does the job of 4 full regulators (12 total spaces used including tanks), but is much lighter and only a 1x1, with 4 tanks inputs (Same 4 N2 tanks, but only takes up 5 spaces). Even if you don't want it yourself, it's worth tens of thousands on the markets.

[@Metaz]

There are two different parts to repair an item. First: to repair, bring spare parts and attach to complete the item. Second: after the repair comes the restore, where you actually fix the item up to "Like New". Thrusters are a great way to get quite some money for only a 1x2 item when it's restored. ~2400$.

[@jg4902]

The "vanishing ship" is a bug, it moves the ship something like a hundred or thousand kilometers away. The workaround is to release the docking clamps while the game is paused.

[@Katastra_]

It was also fixed in a patch the other day I thought? Might be new game only, idr

[@Dark__Thoughts]

@@Katastra_ If it is a hotfix then he might not got that yet at the time of recording.

[@Katastra_]

@@Dark__Thoughts very true

[@hubertnnn]

@@Dark__Thoughts He mentioned on twitch on the day before releasing episode 1 that he already recorded 10 episodes.

[@Skalter314]

Someone might have already mentioned this on a previous video- you can press G to view the levels of all gases in an area, or right click on a square and then on the top right select to view the compartment. Blue color number is Nitrogen gas, which can safely be low. You only need enough 02 and overall gas pressure breath safely. The station has plenty of air- you can steal some by opening all your doors and letting it flow into your ship through the airlock when you dock (just remember to close them all before you undock).

[@gwkunze]

Also, Quills starter ship does have an extra pump he can hook a nitrogen tank to, only needs to install a n2 sensor to make it automatic. Also useful as emergency backup fuel if you accidentally run out.

[@othafakk]

At 11:31 you noticed that you needed to get more scrap to repair. What's going on there is when you cancelled the repair the first time, you took all the items out again. You expected that the delivery was permanent and you could just resume, but in fact you used some of those resources on a different repair during the intervening time span.

[@Thornsfordays]

Classic Quill. Hovering his mouse over the information he's looking for, but talking instead of reading it. Safe pressures are on the first page of the environmental manual btw.

[@magekarp]

Hey Quill! As usual, great video. You got me into this game and I realized that you really need to wait for the airlock doors to close when passing from one side to the other or you really lose the atmosphere inside the ship (especially with you don’t have a N2 pump along with the O2) and I recommend making the airlock as small as possible, I made mine 1x3 and I lose almost no pressure on the main stage of the ship when I pass through the airlocks! Cheers :)

[@FoxtrotYouniform]

you know, i too sometimes stand around and wobble before i'm able to tackle certain tasks lol

[@hxr0x]

I have come to the conclusion that you can apparently load large objects on top of each other by simply dropping the object. If there is no more space, the objects are stacked loosely and still count as part of the sales zone. So you can take a lot more with you. I don't know if this is intentional, but it works ;-)

[@darwithe7123]

This is a bug, over stacking that way can 'cause long term problems that brick your character. 'thou the 2 more common problems are items disappearing at random and your character instantly starting to suffocate even through a working EVA suit when they stand on an overstacked place.

[@TheAzrai]

@@darwithe7123 This is good to know. I've just started stacking on the last couple wrecks, and now I'll stop lol.

[@kevin_glitch]

The ships dock front to front I've noticed in game, and that's why they were saying that your docking clearance was declined and for you to change your vector. You weren't lined up well enough with their docking port, so they were declining you. I know this is massively late but that is why. Stations work in a similar way. The weirder thing I noticed was their claim of no fuel, but they were rotating as if they had RCS fuel.

[@capester]

I wouldn't be surprised if the long pauses when you tried to auto gather parts for the repairs was because the game was searching the entire wreck for the parts it needed.

[@joelmitchell7597]

This has become such a great game. I'm kind of obsessed! So good

[@Cideous]

been playing a bit and found a way i love to deal with inventory management: my deck is filled with uninstalled racks that I can open it's inventory by taking from ground and placing it in the dragged position then putting it back in its place on the ground. This opens it's inventory without "clicking the option/unpausing/doing the animation" witch makes checking all my containers and oganizing it all super fast. In case this helps anyone. enjoying the series, on mine I just had a pirate board me but doing so he sent us both flying towards OLKG and crashing into it :(

[@StarlightSys]

Honestly kinda stressful to watch the air pressure in the spaceship not rise for like 20 mins of gameplay, while the ship loses pressure every time the "airlock"(?) is opened, Petra going exploring with 15 kPa in the suit and me expecting her to start to faint any moment. That's way into the Death Zone and approaching the point at which bodily fluids start to boil away, including what's coating the inside of your lungs! (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_high_altitude_on_humans and en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armstrong_limit )

[@bluecatdk]

Its because he doesnt have gas view on, so it only shows nitrogen pressure and air temp, but there is alot more oxygen as well

[@StarlightSys]

@@bluecatdk I see. Not quite so dire as I thought then. Thanks for explaining!

[@jorezaqqer3510]

Repair goes down and restore that comes after repair goes up. You need to restore after the repairs that uses the parts. Also you missed the cargo pants. lots of room for motors and motherboards alike =)

[@edwardlewsey3954]

"oh she's just repairing the LASER FUSION ARRAY... what's with all this thinking?..." I think she's allowed a few moments to think when trying to decide what scrap you found might repair the fusion laser array...

[@raptor22o90]

Technically, repair means you add what is missing from something, while restoring means you get what is in it back to workable status.

[@SummitSummit]

It will save us a lot of stress once Quill learns the difference between repair/restore.

[@deadbugdoug505]

I may be wrong but was there a hydra intake you walked by?

[@chrizzlback7047]

11 seconds after upload.. man that's perfect!

[@Dark__Thoughts]

13:22 DOOR! You even hovered over it! And yes, a nitrogen canister on the second pump will reduce your oxygen usage.

[@DeathBean89]

Adding a nitrogen pump WILL help with overall cabin pressure, but it WON'T reduce O2 usage AFAIK. O2 will pump until around 23kPa of oxygen specifically, N2 will pump to around 77kPa of nitrogen specifically (overall around 100kPa of atmospheric pressure). That's why Quill's pressure was so low during the episode -- he only has the O2 pump, so it's only going to around 23kPa total pressure and then turning off.

[@clovermite]

Anytime someone puts in this kind of love for a manual, it's probably worth giving it a read at some point.

[@TheAzrai]

100% agreed. A negative review on Steam actually triggered me when they said the in-game documentation was garbage and didn't explain enough.

[@gordonswain2396]

Quill, I need MOAR!! This is soo good!

[@twoskullz7129]

Your stranded friend asked you to check your vector when you requested permission to dock. I wonder if that means you're supposed to approach his vessel from a specific direction?

[@dftp]

I believe it's just a flavor message telling you to pay attention to your speed.

[@StarlasAiko]

When you reverse pumps, they will just pump Air into the can, regardless of what paintjob the can has. To get rid of CO2, you need a CO2 scrubber with CO2 filter installed and connected to the CO2 alarm.

[@SmackyD-fj9eq]

Hey quill. I think the difference between restore and repair is restore is bring something that was "damaged" to a state that is then "repairable and usuable" but with 1hp/durability. It's okay just changing parts, but that doesn't repair an entire thing.

[@AceStrife]

Had my ship explode when I boarded after buying something and it basically crashed the game as the FPS turned into frames per minute. Seems there really is issues with items being stacked on the ground. Reading the update notes fixing bugs like an entire station population instantly dying when you dock is really worrying. Also the stuttering is REALLY bad and keeps getting worse the longer the save goes on. Great game for what it is, but holy cow is it buggy and janky beyond belief. Crazy how it's been in EA for 4 years and they're planning a 1.0 launch next year.. feels like it needs at least another 2 (and a UI redesign in many areas), especially if those forum posts about being light on content outside of salvaging and shipbuilding are true. If Kitfox got them the ability to really focus on development and speed things along, then there's hope.

[@Matamanene]

I'm actually on time for once! Man I love this series.

[@StarlasAiko]

32:45 You will be able, when/if you have noepugh money, to rent a private home with its own docking port. Once you are a renting tennant, you can choose where you dock at O-KLG. Until then, there is only one option to choose.

[@CantiLudan1]

You can put ship parts in the racks....

[@ArgentKnight1]

I've noticed that all of the automatic orders, including gathering parts to repair something, can cause the character to wait for a few seconds before starting to actually carry out the order. It's a little annoying, but overall I'm still enjoying my playthrough.

[@alchemander]

Is there a reason Not to just move all the flight critical components from his current ship to one of the big derelict hulls he has found and thus quickly solve the "Too little space in space" problem?

[@clovermite]

From what I've read on reddit, you have to purchase a derelict from the real estate office, or it will be flagged as stolen. Outside of that, people have said that it is recommended to just claim one of the derelicts as your new ship when you can. I imagine, however, it might take long enough to make the derelict flight worthy that you might want to do it gradually rather than trying to risk getting it all done in one go.

[@alchemander]

@@clovermite ahh seems reasonable.

[@SeamusCameron]

@@clovermite - It's probably best to pre-scout the derelict first before buying it and putting work into it as well, keeps the initial purchase price low. Otherwise they might try to charge you for the quality improvement. I'm foggy on how the derelict price lock-in works though.

[@jefferybrown6473]

Repair is for function Restore is for selling price

[@StarlasAiko]

Restore is also to be able to use it without having to repair every five minutes.

[@BlacksmithGen]

Watching this drew me in, I've now put like 11 hours in 😂

[@Yythyzuu]

Quill... you had just switched a knob on your console to track your ship, not target. You were trying to match speed with yourself, not the station. 😂 ❤

[@Drosera420]

I think the NPC crashed into the ship while you were in docking, and that's why it was gone, i.e. it got destroyed by the fuelless ship.

[@danielbudney7825]

Probably too late, but ... check your pricing on the License booth before selling those items at the Fence.

[@maxstr]

An advice on what to do once I've gone through most of the wrecks in the starting area? I made like 100K but that doesn't seem to be enough for anything

[@dftp]

There's no way you came up with that little money with all the derelicts. I've gone through maybe 5 of them and am already at almost 200k. Make sure to also salvage big machines and components like reactors, batteries, pumps, heaters, coolers etc. via uninstall commands. repair/restore them if necessary because they're very profitable when selling, especially to the fence. If you're desperate you can start to literally tear apart the derelicts piece by piece and collet scrap that way.

[@maxstr]

@@dftp No I didn't really strip them, I just went in and grabbed loose stuff in bins. I tried the hauling command to grab everything, but my character just stands there not doing anything

[@gwkunze]

@@maxstr You need to look for the non-loose stuff and uninstall them to get the valuable stuff, start with thrusters they're small and valuable as long as you restore them. The loose stuff in bins etc is mostly garnish (although you can get good money from some of the files on loose PDAs found on ships, and backpacks and EVA suits are definitely something you want to get)

[@rsmith4339]

I want to love this game , but for every 15 min of progress I lose 30 to a game breaking glitch . I suppose it saves me the 45 K in disorderly conduct fines I've accrued , reason uknown .

[@dftp]

That is the most annoying part so far. I would say just save often and revert as soon as you get an annoying glitch, the game's not at a "losing is fun" stage yet when most of the losing situations come from unintended bugs so save "scumming" is fine imo. Those disorderly conduct charges are also bugged I think. You can only get them rid by going to prison or paying the lump sum. Incremental payment doesn't resolve the wanted tag, at least it hasn't for me yet.
