WH 40K Rogue Trader Navigators Insight Tutorial - Explore Koronus Expanse ( Map exploration Guide )

[@richardsteberl4102]

OMG I'm an idiot. I'm sitting on 70 insight and have played the entire game so far with default warp path difficulty. Thank you so much!!!

[@CobisTaba]

You can even make new paths!

[@GtheMVP]

Lol I'm in a similar position, had about 25 insight, never knowing what insight was. And tje number indicator at tje bottom of the screen. I finally looked it up.

[@caitlynwarrington8690]

You can also chart new paths to systems no direct pathway currently exists, but it costs 3 insight to get a red path. It really helps tie the far flung colonies without going through all of the different systems along the way. Its 5 insight to get the path to yellow and save a lot of time to get from one side of your holdings to the other. (at least in Alpha and Beta)

[@ArantyrDarkhand]

Yeah i used it to make a high way. Footfall to dragonus, dragonus to each one of the colonys.

[@Antonin1738]

So Footfall to Dragonus, then Dragonus to Janus, etc? Did you connect Janus to footfall directly?

[@ArantyrDarkhand]

@@Antonin1738Get to mundus valencius then conect it to all your colonis so 1 jump to get to every place. Later you will have events that need you to go there.

[@Necr0e1]

also helps to do this to make shortcuts to major systems u revisit like your colonies

[@KrucielBL]

I'd say the main thing is during Act 2, multiple story quests will force you to odd ends of the map, and if you wasted all your Nav points making multiple paths green, you can get softlocked until you spend 30+ minutes going in circles on yellow paths fishing for Nav points to happen from random Lore (Warp) checks that will happen at an extremely low chance. This is the only thing I have save scummed my way out of, because it seems the "random occurrences" you receive from going down yellow paths is actually determined many jumps beforehand. For instance, you save, head down yellow paths nonstop and the 9th jump gives you a Lore (Warp) check, if you fail the check and reload, the 9th jump will be a Lore (Warp) check again and you can try to pass it. Getting stuck like this was infuriating by the way. I spent hours trying to figure out how to get more Nav points so I could actually do the story quest it was asking of me.

[@garvielloken4114]

Same problem where i am at now. I will give it a try with orange and red paths. Because i cant do anything else right now, i destroyed all enemy fleets, built all colonies to the max and placed extractors on all available planets. I just need these points to get on with the main quests. And i wish i knew that before. Stuck in act 2 with Level 30 characters lol....Edit: Holy crap it worked after 5 minutes. Got 6 Insight after an warp riff event.

[@TripWithTheMoon]

Thanks for the Explanations. I read the Tutorialtext and was a little bit confused. Cool System.

[@zomgpremade]

Traveled exclusively on orange lines. Ended up being 36 before the end of act 3. Sure you need to repair the ship a bit, but more often than not, you'll encounter a random combat which is very easy. I never got any drawbacks other than ship damage. Unless you're kind of roleplaying something, i basically advise the opposite of what is recommended here, go only through orange.

[@danielbob2628]

I generally avoided orange and red lines, and I'm just reaching Exemplar during Act 3. I don't think a few extra levels is worth all that grind.

[@GtheMVP]

Thx for the guide man, had no idea about this mechanic for my current 65 hours or so playthough.

[@Shadow86TheGamer]

Think of it like a highway, distant places should be green, also, he didn't explain here but you can create a route from one point to another for 3 insight points. Doesn't matter the distance, it's always 3 points BUT it will create it red then you have to spend even more to lower it. But you can basically unite one part of the map to the other.

[@sickmaelstrom6388]

Awesome explanation. Thank you Sir!

[@kelsonv642]

Dear jesus thank you for this information. Ive looked all over my game for the last 3 days trying to figure out what i fucked up and turns out i just needed to travel yellow lines to get navigator points. Thanks again

[@120136pie]

Late comer to Rogue Trader, love this s video!!

[@ctged]

One tip that I learned, you can create a line path between faraway places, by selecting the destination and doing the mapping there. It'll give you a red line, but also that direct path. I use that between foothold and say for example Janus.

[@LeeroyGaming]

Love this. I saw this option but I never chose it when it was popping up as until recently I was always low on navigators insight. and you do want to get to each system at least once for exploration purposes. But I do like the idea of sacrificing ~6 points for direct shortcuts from colony to colony when you have a surplus. However, do remember that traveling from node to node is how you pass time for colony development.

[@ctged]

I have done more than half of the optinal systems on Act 2, or at least that's what the game tells me (it might be buggy). But at the moment, I'm on 20+ surplus on the insight. I keep all the lines (that I use) yellow. Mostly just for the sake of those extra insight pickups. So far, only one Khorne invasion during a jump.

[@caperica]

thanks very helpful.

[@gakkieNL]

Red paths are excellent for farming EXP and cargo!

[@moroumenos]

It's really something I wish the game would've told us not to make any path to systems green. I'm out of insight so I'm basically grinding yellow routes in hope I can gain some.

[@vancetar5726]

Thanks I had no idea

[@uther10]

Great tips! I’m getting to this section soon and this is helpful!

[@xmixaplix]

Leroy: leave the imperium alone! Me with 2 insights: 🤔👀

[@saggitel]

Very informative. Big respect and thanks, king

[@LeeroyGaming]

Much appreciated

[@francescobianchi595]

Thanks for the video, super useful. Praised be the Machine Spirit, i mean the YT algorithm

[@LeeroyGaming]

Haha, same difference?

[@MD-wm1jg]

Thanks - helped a lot

[@kearseymorton2078]

Thank you, very informative and useful

[@LeeroyGaming]

You are welcome!

[@Astragoth2]

thank you for the guides!

[@LeeroyGaming]

Happy to help!

[@sohamkar1846]

Great video ❤

[@aegrisomnia]

Did they change how often you get negative effects on yellow routs? I'm playing for the first time and i'm quiet deep into act two. I not even once had a yellow rout let me through without an event. For me it's about 50/50 between flavor text with a litte damage to the ship and straight up combat. I don't particularly mind the free exp, but it makes getting back to my colonies, because "ThE rOgUe TrAdEr NeEdS tO bE pReSeNt" a fucking chore.

[@iESCAP1SM]

It just takes soooo much time away from what I actually want to do to get all those fights. Regardless How trivial they might be

[@dmitrypuchkov2699]

It will probably be patched soon, but at the moment charting new path between systems INCREASES your insight by 1 as if you've scanned a new system, so you can make an unsafe path dirt-cheap. Traversing unsafe routes results in detailed descriptions of mishaps, but it doesn't get reflected in game mechanics because crew is unlimited. I once lost a third of my crew in a single event and it didn't hinder my progression in any way, so you can treat unsafe passages as safe. No wonder Rogue Trader's ship is always on time, your means of transportation beats webway in convenience of having entrances and exits where you need them to be while remaining almost perfectly safe, it even surpasses necron dolmen gates because warp travel is free.

[@dmitrypuchkov2699]

Forgot to mention, you can farm insight by charting new paths and improving ones you use the most lol.

[@Norbert_Sattler]

"Bad" events are even good for you, in a way. If you have a combat encounter inside your ship, that will give you extra XP and loot, you would otherwise not have gotten.

[@rhonda2791]

I was wondering that's why I watched this because I almost got stuck early on then noticed charting a course gave me 1 insight Everytime so I just chatted a course to every system now I have like 40 extra

[@christophebedouret9813]

Insight farming goes Brrrrrrrrr...

[@Dan-uf2vh]

There are a couple of colony projects which improve the costs and they seem extremely overpowered (creating new routes costs 1 insight instead of 3, and for the other all paths are brough down to orange). However, these colony projects are mutually exclusive with others giving significant improvements to abilities or skills and, when you know what you're doing, the available insight is quite enough to get by, therefore a real shame that you should simply ignore these. They would make traversing the map a breeze, making highways everywhere.

[@yakovbl2968]

i opened everything available at act 2, and now in act 3 i have only 2 insight points, not enough to chart a passage to the system needed to continue. what do i do ?

[@nathonmowbray]

Is there any drawbacks story wise from exploring everything? Like can key NPCs die if you spend too much time exploring?

[@danielbob2628]

As far as I know, no. Unless your current quest is demanding punctuality. Also, apparently the Shadow Quarters quarantine quest can expire with time. But it's broken and stupid anyway.

[@PabloOstertag]

Nice guide, the advices regarding the use of insight are nice indeed-

[@jmmywyf4lyf]

I have only ever gotten negative events. Not once have I gotten a positive event from a yellow path. Now sometimes nothing at all happens, but roughly 50%-75% of the time, it's a negative event. The remainder of the time, is uneventful. I have never once, gotten a navigator Point from anything, other than exploring the new system. Perhaps they have patched it out since you made this video, but I am not getting Nav Points from any other source.

[@swe113]

On pc if you press Y you open the colony manager and don't need to visit them to upgrade

[@LeeroyGaming]

the only time you need to visit them manually is when the red events on the left side of the panel show up.

[@Joseph-v6z4h]

I keep getting a bug to when I get boarded in the warp the combat will not unpause lol

[@Deus888]

Thanks

[@LeeroyGaming]

Welcome

[@justanotheranonymous4381]

Anyone know where I can download a full map with all locations?

[@kromm-li7ek]

Great game, addicting. But it feels unfinished and a lot of bugs, too many loading screens etc..If you like 40k like me you gonna have a blast..Hope they add more depth in future with expansions and dlcs. This game needs it definitely..

[@misiknuo]

Nothing bad it will going to happen if u Tamed Daemon engine..u can do i twice in Game...but u need to to be lvl 2 heretic to do it..just progress lvl two and stop..then u can tame it and no problem with chaos incursions anymore..

[@johnnycakestretton298]

Very helpful no explanations from the game

[@Necr0e1]

i didnt die going to the imperium but did take massive damage

[@LeeroyGaming]

you got the lesser of the bad endings haha. bottom line its a red herring. .

[@michaelmitchell922]

Help! I’m a bit confused. I’m halfway through the 2nd Act and I only have 2 Insight and my ships hull is at 95 and no scrap. Do I have to restart the game? Thanks (me the idiot)

[@Brazeniah]

Depends how far down act 2 you are. Have you unlocked all your colonies? If yes, you're probably buggered beyond repair. If not however you still have room to maneuver. First thing you want to do is get Dargonus (your capital colony) and rush for rank 2 project named Shield of the Emperor. That helps a lot for Space battles. Then, before entering any space battle, always save just before, so if you end up against too big an enemy fleet you can skip that fight and keep it for later. Also, always upgrade Hull first and foremost, and only upgrade the ram if you have a good grasp of the Ship's movement.

[@foxdavion6865]

The splash image for this video "avoid at all costs", well yeah the red difficulty warp route is in itself something you'd rather spend navigator insights on to reduce the risk in general, but that one in particular you should avoid at all costs because it is simply a waste of an insight. The maw is closed, we are cut off from the Calixis Sector; Currently, this route serves no purpose to the game except as a waste of navigator insights should you choose to spend them on it, travelling there will only result in a dialogue tree where any option other than "we're leaving" will result in you being told "no, are you crazy, we'll die, the maw has collapsed". You won't be able to reopen it until the very end of the story in Act 5 and depending on who is still alive within your possible companions, the paths you picked, the decisions you made and the development level of your realm, will impact the outcome when it is reopened or if it can be reopened and even then it serves no purpose other than post game ending dialogue. However, I imagine the route will come into importance with the second DLC which will introduce the Imperial Tithe which can only be collected through this singular "safe route" into the Expanse, which is currently as of the release version of Rogue Trader, closed off due to the events of the 13th Black Crusade impact on the regions near to the Eye of Terror.

[@shadowsift]

By avoiding red, arent i missing out on combat xp from the chaos incursions?

[@LeeroyGaming]

technically, yes. But this game has so much exp and you level up so crazy fast that I never felt like I needed them.

[@shadowsift]

@@LeeroyGaming ah! Some of the encounters are really fun 😄 I try go red every time

[@LeeroyGaming]

@@shadowsift that is def a valid way of playing.

[@orrthehunter]

Not to mention the loot drops can help progress faction level due to the large amount of weapon and armor you farm to sell to them

[@ArantyrDarkhand]

Dude did you open all the map mae a map showing.

[@LeeroyGaming]

not all, a good amount though.

Man, you need to sort out your audio settings. Have to up my volume by 25ish% than what I usually listen on to have you on normal volume.

[@FirkraagAurel]

Bad game design. Something like that is to be expected by new indie companies. Has owlcat severe brain drain?

[@SpartanAltair15]

Smooth brain take
