#

just made a couple more alu boxes to store processed stuff and played with the storage circuits so excess crafts go to specific boxes if i did it right

#

the power cells will also end up in those boxes when crafted, jsut made a few more meds since we were running out

glossy dust
#

hmm got eat by a worm trying to loot one of those crashed ships, parked on top of it with an orno then it wouldnt let me back up, respawned in base which spawned me on the console, so now trapped in the locked room :p

#

map is still showing the orno oddly enough

#

nvm worm found the crashed ship and orno, sry guys

glossy dust
#

also planning to set up a refining base somewhere in the shield wall, once im let out of containment 😛

spare field
#

Ah. The only one who can get you out is Weegy

#

Nobody else has permissions for that room

glossy dust
#

if you have build permions you can remove the wall beside the door and rebuild after

glossy dust
#

and free ty dit

glossy dust
#

server needs a kickstart after the reset

spare field
#

That's a @pure moth

pure moth
#

Reboot done , didnt refresh ingame though...

#

Restarting game

glossy dust
#

ty

pure moth
#

Not showing up

spare field
#

same

#

Not seeing it

#

God that's annoying. I was gonna game this mornin'. damn triplaaaaaa

pure moth
#

Opened a ticket

#

Server has rebooted multiple times now but isnt showing up

#

Will let you know if something changes

#

We are not alone

spare field
#

yup. I have that hotfix, still not showing. Sadly.

glossy dust
#

would that be the 1gb patch i had?

hybrid tartan
#

Yep

pure moth
#

Funcom itself is having trouble

#

Something borked server side real bad

spare field
#

Update broke something bad. Guess we're all out for a little bit.

glossy dust
#

sandworms got into the codebase?

spare field
#

Damn shame. Our original server is still live, unless there's also problems connecting to the servers that do show up

gilded verge
#

Welp

#

there goes my plans for the day

pure moth
#

Other NA servers - even official - are down

gilded verge
#

oh wow

#

yeah big outtage

pure moth
#

its not all but quite a few that are just dead

gilded verge
#

gives me time to actually read the dune book

#

because

#

i've never read it

spare field
#

Oh wow

#

I saw all the other private servers up and our original NA server up

#

So I thought it was an isolated issue

#

this is uh

#

Coriolis storm in the server room

pure moth
#

yeah

#

Some entire clusters are down

#

Some servers singular as well

tired gate
#

Welp

spare field
#

rip

tired gate
spare field
#

Someone tried to carry the records on foot

gilded verge
#

the butlarian jihad has begun

tired gate
#

Bloody finally.

pure moth
#

Am cranky

#

passive aggressiveness is starting

#

Cause they are talking about other servers which are fully down

#

but nothing about the issue we have where its technically all visible just not ours

#

If I want I can be one hell of a friendly ass

gilded verge
#

honestly doesn't sound passive aggresive, thats a legitimate question

pure moth
#

Its the subtlety

gilded verge
#

if heatglen is "technically" working, and their ignoring it, we deserve an answer

#

(we being you)

pure moth
#

This was thrown between other messages of staff talking to people about their problems there

pure moth
#

At least the ticket is now responed with "we have noted the server"

spare field
#

Guess we're out of our siech for now. I hope they add time for the downtime.

gilded verge
#

oh yeah

#

they better

#

especially if its ghosts fault

#

if its Funcoms fault, maybe just a credit

#

or a free coating or something

gilded verge
#

any update cryo?

pure moth
#

Nope

#

Better expect nothing today

spare field
#

Yeah.

pure moth
#

if it didnt change by morning I will write a pretty angry message back to support

#

24h downtime is bad for a provider

gilded verge
#

cry gave me access to the server board, so if someone sees an update, feel free to ping me instead to get it up and running

gilded verge
tired gate
#

yay!

pure moth
#

It got worse

#

The whole cluster is down now

gilded verge
#

oof

pure moth
#

Well I am heading to bed
Hope something happens in the next 6h or so

gilded verge
#

yeah i'll let you know

tired gate
#

…… well then

glossy dust
#

geeze what have they borked thats so hard to unbork, and not seeing anything on their known issues

pure moth
#

From the Dunes Discord , double forward

#

they f‘es up hard

pure moth
#

Making a hopeful restart

#

if someone could try

#

( at work )

spare field
#

Isn't the update maint supposed to last for a bit longer?

#

I'll try it before I go to work. I am ... Uh. Up too early.

pure moth
#

we can try

#

otherwise I will try later

spare field
#

I'll get up shortly and try.

glossy dust
#

forcing steam to reset, cant see an update yet

#

no update yet

pure moth
#

The update is serverside

#

not client

pure moth
#

Seems they pushed it back a bit

#

Official servers only now got the warning that they shut down

spare field
#

yeah

#

There are no servers available

pure moth
#

Okay the CM there is really nice to talk to
Doing their best

#

We will get a notif if the patches are available for reboot
All Private Servers have been shut down now

spare field
#

There appears to be a patch now.

#

On the player side.

pure moth
#

Spoon™

#

They are working on the Battle Groups

pure moth
#

Very spoon™

pure moth
#

According to the Dashboard its up

#

So if someone wants to check you can now

glossy dust
#

will once i finish patching

spare field
#

same

#

Server is live

#

Logging in to see if anything weird happened

#

We're good. Dune server is live, no damage noticed.

#

Sadly I have work again. But I'll play when I get home

glossy dust
#

later green

spare field
#

I'm gonna go exploring and resource scanning, see if there's an Aluminum field I can drive the buggy towards. Also look to see if I can find Insulated Fabric, since I know that's something we can only get as drops

glossy dust
#

dammit, i got disconnected in the buggy at the last reset and it drove out into the sand and got eaten

#

was where my mouse is when i got dc'd spawned beside the pvp wreck...

#

oh no mouse in the screen shot, was jsut left of the e in eastern vermious gap

pure moth
#

@gilded verge @hybrid tartan @tired gate IT LIVES

spare field
#

Is there any armor or equipment that people want to keep/people need for quests ora nything? I've got the itch to clean up the base and clean out basically all of the crap in there once I'm done loot whoring my way through the west side of the map.

#

Speaking of, I need to make a rad suit. Hopefully we have the mats on hand for that.

hybrid tartan
#

I have a rk 4 rad suit in their for use

#

I usually like to keep 1 welder in the box with the wire, otherwise having spare gear in case of worm is handy

spare field
#

True. I'll prolly make my own radsuit and just wear it so I don't have to think about radiation much. PResumably, I need Iodine tabs too.

gilded verge
#

oh yes

#

you need to pop those pills like house

spare field
#

Bah. I'll craft a bunch then, I was gonna go explore Sheol to get as much spice infused Duraluminum as I can manage

gilded verge
#

there are coins jammed in every machine

#

i think as compensation

#

i'm like a goddamn janitor

spare field
#

lol

#

Sad that I'm trapped at work. Oh welllll. mrgh

hybrid tartan
#

Coins were in there to make sure stuff was circuited right to specific boxes

gilded verge
#

ooh

hybrid tartan
#

barzha had figured out how to automate stuff better

glossy dust
#

since their now on circuits the stuff in em wont register unless goes straight to the box, thus the coins

#

rather than the overflow going everwhere

spare field
#

Oh, so you set the outputs to the appropriate boxes then

gilded verge
#

weeelp

#

put coins back

glossy dust
#

ty

#

also bring back more alu and carbon, then gonna filtch more rock to expand the refining base im building out in the shieldwall

spare field
#

Honestly we should probably add more storage and re-organize so we have just. dump chests for raw mats in there. Unless there's a way to have one big dump chest and transfer things using that...

#

@glossy dust Use the buggy, the big mining laser on top is way better for gathering shit and it has a big storage it automatically goes into

glossy dust
#

i am

spare field
#

Ah then you got it. I meant it mostly for grabbing Granite or something on your way around, for more construction mats

glossy dust
#

and the boxes are semi organised, the 3 alu ones on the center are for craft dumps, the 2 to the right are accepting processed stuff

#

would be great if they added labels so we could tell everyone where to shove it 🙂

spare field
#

They're supposed to.

gilded verge
#

@spare field got you some insulated fabric, remember you wanting it

#

48

spare field
#

Oh yeah I wanted to upgrade to LArge Blood Bags and the Decaliterjon to make longer trips more tenable.

#

Admittedly I probably only need like. One large bag, we're pretty set on water

gilded verge
#

ye

#

you can find it in the O'odham

#

north-left

spare field
#

yep

#

I'll get more for other people to use as I explore

gilded verge
#

i managed to snag a decliterjon from a bandit

spare field
#

Nice.

tired gate
gilded verge
#

@glossy dust how do i collect corpses? i've unlocked the still

tired gate
#

I think you full loot them and then just pick up the body?

gilded verge
#

sppeaking of water

#

we are out

spare field
#

...

#

You used it all for crafting again

#

Go use the Still, there's like 15 bodies in the box next to it for exsanguinating

gilded verge
#

my lawyer has advised me not to answer that

#

yeah, crafting more steel to get another deathstill

spare field
#

Barzha gathered them lol

glossy dust
#

just need to hold f while near a body to pack it up once you can make the still

gilded verge
#

ahh

#

thank

glossy dust
#

and the refining base is nearly set up, just needs some more steel for the omni directional turbines and medium refineries, given permisions to everyone in the friends list

#

its got a ornopad set up and a buggy parked ready to go too

#

and dont need to loot the bodies first, any loot they have will be on the floor

#

speaking of friends, green accept the friend request so i can give you all the permisions too :p

spare field
#

Ohhh fineeee. I will when I get home

glossy dust
#

assuming the requests stay after logging out :p

gilded verge
#

on that barzha

#

when i went up, it said your base wasn't watertight

tired gate
glossy dust
#

was for me on the top floor, might be that funny bug that was getting me at the main for a while

tired gate
#

I think it’s a permissions thing?

glossy dust
#

already given you assistant, ill check the claim next time im on

tired gate
#

Hm

#

Nah it’s probably just bugged.

spare field
#

It's a permissions thing, after a quick google

#

"Okay so here's the deal. The CONSOLE level will restrict water seal. I suspect this is an unintentional bug.

If I set the CONSOLE to Owner (level 1) everyone becomes unsealed."

glossy dust
#

k ill do that next time im on

gilded verge
#

ahh

#

i'll do that as well

#

thaank green

glossy dust
#

will put it behind a door that only associate/guild can get tho

spare field
#

No worries, it was a single steam forum dive away.

glossy dust
#

another thing for the suggestion box, now to find the suggestion box :p

gilded verge
#

i'd say we'll get increased update frequency starting soon

#

once devs get into a rhythm

#

and i imagine a lot of devs are parents and across the countries where they have studios, school is just letting out so i imagine they've been swamped

gilded verge
#

Oh okay

#

seems like plot taxation has been wiped for the cycle

#

due to close

spare field
#

ofc

gilded verge
#

i'm gonna dura mine

#

i'm gonna dura die

spare field
#

Go sleep first silly

tired gate
#

what is sleep?

gilded verge
#

oh i meant

#

rads

#

the rads are gonna kill me like 10 times

#

i used the bit i gathered last time for a mk5 rad suit

#

but i don't have pills

spare field
#

...

#

What do we need for the pills

#

Ah, we need Duraluminium and Agave seeds

gilded verge
#

agave

spare field
#

They're in the same location as the insulated fabric

#

So I'll make sure to grab some

gilded verge
#

yup i'll fly up as well

#

i wanna try and make an assault thopter for that storage of 1.5k

#

so effective ferrying of resources

#

also - i can soon buy a basic scout orni for 60k solari

spare field
#

Wait, the assault is better at transport?

gilded verge
#

yeah

#

more storage

spare field
#

Huh

gilded verge
#

scout's got a cap of 500

spare field
#

dammit, you're gonna be doing the radfarming more than I will. :U

gilded verge
#

Assault is 1k*

#

i think theres a unique somewhere that gives the scout 750

#

don't worry, i'll do it after you get a sout green

#

scout*

#

or if you want, you can have mine

spare field
#

Naw, I'll be fine with just a basic one

#

Those things are too expensive for my to get a nice one, especially since I plan on using a buggy to use as a mobile base basically

gilded verge
#

speaking of which

#

the one you can take/use for now i upgraded a few things for the radmining

#

so theres now half a buggy of mk3 stuff

#

i'll make you a mk5 chasis and mk4 cutterray when i get back

#

mk5 engine if theres enough

spare field
#

Well I want to save up for the good unique buggy storage

#

At least for yours

#

We need more Spiced Duraluminium

#

What I really want is a good bike. Sadly, I haven't found a unique Bike storage module

gilded verge
#

spiced duraluminium is got from the ships right?

spare field
#

I've only found it so far from the military base in Sheol

#

I couldn't exactly go into the irradiated hellscape to look for more

#

If you can wait, make a second Rad Suit (doesn't need to be high tier) and some more iodine pills, and I'll help with fighting through the ships when I get home. I've got.. 1 hour 'till I'm off work and 30 mins from there to make the drive home

gilded verge
#

getting some right now, but dw we'll need plenty

spare field
#

I mean

#

Have you fought Duraluminium opponents, the mercs?

#

They're pretty nasty

gilded verge
#

a bit

#

luckily i have a nasty gun

spare field
#

GL then

#

They're not particularly more dangerous except for the fact they use their skills more often

#

The enemies in this game aren't exactly challenging unless you're a moron

gilded verge
#

5 deaths

#

to rads

#

but 2070 jasmium

spare field
#

lol

#

How many iodine pills did you down

gilded verge
#

none

#

i didn't have any

#

gonna grab iodine and alu right now

spare field
#

pffft

#

oh my god.

tired gate
spare field
#

At least by the time I do my exploring, it should be respawned

gilded verge
#

oh yeah

#

things respawn in like 15 minutes

#

by the time i went to one side and was coming back, things were already back

tired gate
#

yeah

#

very rapid respawns which is good for overall game health in larger pops

spare field
#

yep

#

Especially with a small-ish map size

#

You have a large total area, but the resource zones and free move zones are small

gilded verge
#

speaking of which

#

i really like the north side of the map

#

wonderfully made

#

south side

#

kinda sucks

#

design wise

#

its supposed to be a basin, doesn't look like a basin

#

mainly just the starting area

spare field
#

to be fair, it might still be a basin but we only have access to part of it

gilded verge
#

yeah

#

i just really like the geography of the north

#

really shows that arrakis used to be a jungle planet

tired gate
#

I kinda wish there was just more veriety in the map.

the south has too much empty, the north has too much clutter.

if we could split the difference and have some speratic areas of clutter and some moderate areas of empty I think it would be a lot better.

#

I also understand the game is trying to encourage you to go north, safer from the worm, less safe from the increasingly difficult enemies

#

but

#

I still wish there was more in the south.

#

maybe some more islands of safety with unique basing options.

gilded verge
#

the south gets interesting with rads

#

but yeah

#

it suffers from MMOitis of too clearly defined zones

tired gate
#

oh yes the rads are a nice touch but note how that area outside of the rads has: nothing.

#

its just more starter area with some rare resources and an enviornmental effect.

#

which, rad, cool, excelent.

#

veriety tho.

spare field
#

MMOitis is a curse, but it's a needed one

#

Can't let the noobs get spawncamped and overwhelmed

tired gate
#

true.

#

I do think a more gradual shift between the areas could have been achived rather than the essentially hard wall of "no sandworms ever again" halfway up the map

gilded verge
#

its a serious issue once you get back to the rads but agreed

#

but it being an mmo

#

means the map is 100% going to get updated

spare field
#

to be fair, the deep desert is supposed to help make the sandworms scary again

tired gate
#

oh totally

spare field
#

I totally understand having them not be a threat literally everywhere

tired gate
#

also true

#

I do hope the basin does get some expansion/redevelopment at some point

#

but

#

that can be in the way future

#

theres time

spare field
#

Otherwise it'd just be a really intricate AAA attempt at making Journey, lol. Survive the desert! With frenemies!

gilded verge
#

don't you mean

#

Fremenies

spare field
#

The fremen died for that joke

gilded verge
#

they did

#

but also gurm, on that

#

they've confirmed what "map 2" is going to be already

#

"Water is life. The Water Shipper families are at war, fighting for control of the Polar Caps of Arrakis."

spare field
#

Ah dammit

gilded verge
#

from the DLC

#

coming next year

spare field
#

There isn't a Unqiue sandbike inventory

gilded verge
#

ah that sucks

#

theres also DLC 2 which is a downed harvester that'll be map redevelopment

#

i imagine we'll get a free map refresh area update with that

tired gate
gilded verge
#

don't know

tired gate
#

fair nuff

gilded verge
#

but its the same thing of expanding the map

tired gate
#

I mean kinda

#

ish

#

to a degree

gilded verge
#

i do think we'll get a map expansion to Hagga before then

tired gate
#

as I said: theres time

spare field
#

Nor can I put a storage and a booster on

gilded verge
#

nah, one utility

spare field
#

That's annoying... But at least I don't need to invest.

#

Two

tired gate
gilded verge
#

oh right yeah the front one

spare field
#

The scanner is a free utility for the front

#

ye

hybrid tartan
#

Might be on soon, gotta check with folks if we are doing any holiday stuff but I don't think so.

gilded verge
#

everything is setup, just missing water and a bunch of allo for the development of further stuff

hybrid tartan
#

low on filters it seems

gilded verge
#

empty

hybrid tartan
#

I can make some Standard filters, tho that uses Alo, I can also do makeshift filters, but water, heh

#

in like, 9 min 2 bodies finish up and should get a chunk of water tho

gilded verge
#

yeah

#

thats why i logged off

#

just gotta wait for water

hybrid tartan
#

gotcha

#

2 bodies just finished, replaced em and got the aluminum refining

tired gate
#

tasty body

hybrid tartan
#

I keep getting distracted and haven't even left the building yet, heh. Will searh for Alo soon, I swear

spare field
#

I will go harvest BLOOOOOD

#

The large blood bags will help immensely with that

hybrid tartan
#

I can find a good chunk of carbon but alo is eluding me

gilded verge
#

i shall halp

gilded verge
#

theres 500 allo

hybrid tartan
#

Nice

#

ended up grabbing about 2k carbon while looking for alo, dropped off, heh

#

I wish i could get the sand bike to have a similar amount of capacity q.q

#

currently all corpses deposited

#

waiting on sand, than gonna try to get the rest of the trials done so ic an help with that, heh

spare field
#

dammit

#

It takes a lot of aluminum to get this stuff going

#

As a note I split the stacks so both refineries are running, so we get the aluminum twice as fast

gilded verge
#

i was thinking of doubling the refineries

#

but we don't have enough water cap

#

if you're a base, can you make some more screens for the passive-water gen?

tired gate
#

mayhaps, potentially, as a stopgap solution, we could get a few more blood refineries going

#

its not as good as whole sale body harvesting

#

or as passive as the wind

#

but its better than nothing

gilded verge
#

wind

#

the winds maintenance is insane

tired gate
#

I dont quite understand what you mean by that

gilded verge
#

the fuel

#

is insanely expensive and lasts for a tiny amount

tired gate
#

the filters for the wind collection?

gilded verge
#

yeah

tired gate
#

ah

#

yeah.

#

I kinda wish it was just a set and forget system

#

like. yay sure. realism I guess. but christ.

#

it takes aluminum for the barely acceptable filters. and not a small amount either

gilded verge
#

Man

#

i wish we could side with the sandflies

#

their just a union

#

@tired gate can you check something for me?

#

in the laandsraad, top right corner house Alexin

#

whats your "contribution" too it?

#

hover over it and it'll say at the bottom

tired gate
#

I dont have access to that yet

spare field
#

Mine is at 0

hybrid tartan
#

also 0

spare field
#

What's your House Vernius contribution as a question

gilded verge
#

1008

spare field
#

Ah, so it's definitely not guild wide

hybrid tartan
#

I now have 28 personal contribution from a random sandlie i killed

gilded verge
#

that sucks

tired gate
#

WEEGY! DONT CRUSH ME WITH ORNITHOPTERS!

hybrid tartan
#

apparently it was crunch time

spare field
#

Found a bunch of Aluminum in the ground. Next time I'm back at base and feel like mining I'll take the buggy out for looting.

#

Also thank you for clearing out that base Dit, that was funny timing

#

Kept trying to stab you because I didn't realize it was you

hybrid tartan
#

hehe

#

because you came, the boss respawned... made em super easy,

spare field
#

Yep

#

Sandflies are dangerous

gilded verge
#

hauling back 2.5k now

#

oh god

#

oh sweet jesus of mercy

tired gate
#

worm?

gilded verge
#

Tripp yates kindly shut the fuck up and never dare speak again

tired gate
#

a young irish dumbass?

#

thats it?

gilded verge
#

the voice acting is horrendous

#

in game it was so so much worse

tired gate
#

I see

#

gonna be real. I hammer through most dialogue

#

the enviornmental storytelling is a lot better than most of the dialogued conversations IMO.

#

maybe theres some better stuff but most of the written notes and the "Im so and so and Im making an audio log" type things feel more polished than the conversations

spare field
#

You upgraded the Cutteray on the buggy, right Weegy?

gilded verge
#

yup

#

just got a second mk4 cutterray as loot as well

spare field
#

Ooh

gilded verge
#

so another buggy can be equipped

spare field
#

I want to make the next buggy. But gods know. I'm starting to wane on the game since even with everyone helping, it feels like little progress is being made

#

For me personally at least

gilded verge
#

next buggy shall be yours

#

and no, i understand that

#

once you get a buggy it'll go faster

#

right now we've got most of it part-wise

#

i'll make some of the last parts for you

spare field
#

Tbh, I should probably bite the bullet

gilded verge
#

so you can just pop in and slap it together

spare field
#

And just spend dosh on it

#

Save the resources

#

I'll take a trip to Arrakeen and see if I can cash in my solari for it

#

Just list what we're missing

gilded verge
#

if you give me the cash, i can get it cheaper

spare field
#

Oh? Where?

gilded verge
#

arrakeen still

#

just i'm rank 3 with the Atreides

spare field
#

Ah, higher favorability

gilded verge
#

so i have a discount

spare field
#

Beh. You:re online rn right

gilded verge
#

yeah

#

and don't worry as well

#

i'm rolling in cahs

spare field
#

Kay let me hop on

gilded verge
#

you can just leave it in a chest

spare field
#

What I really want is to save up for a communal assault orni for the base so we can go on group missions

gilded verge
#

i'm also still hauling ass

#

also already half-made

spare field
#

Lol

#

Rightyo

#

Let me get to Pinnacle and deal with shit there

#

I'll meet you at Arrakeen and check prices.

gilded verge
#

kewl

#

i'll be a few

#

gotta go eastbound and down

spare field
#

Mhm

#

also I was a dick and made Duraluminum armor. :U

gilded verge
#

nah

#

i did the same thing

#

so dw

#

scout or heavy?

spare field
#

Scout

#

I get in and stab

gilded verge
#

we have
-mk3 treads(all)
-mk3 PSU
-MK4 Cutterray

#

so need the hull, chasis and utility rear

#

engine i'll make you a mk5

#

wait no

#

just buy a mk4

spare field
#

yeah

it'll be about the same

#

alright on my way to arrakeen

spare field
#

Kay

#

I got solari, I'll get it from the bank

#

Try to go Mk4 if possible on anything else. I'll give you what I got since I don't pay taxes. :U

#

I wish I could scavenge a shitbox scout ornithopter for town traversal

gilded verge
#

a few more missions

#

and i can buy one for you

#

and i'll give you premissions for my scout when i get back

#

you can use that while i assemble an assault and do more allo runs

#

take off 20k @spare field

#

it was only 70k

#

wait 30

#

math

spare field
#

eh just take the extra as comission

gilded verge
#

alright

#

thaank

#

it was mk3 thats all they sold

spare field
#

All good.

#

Mk3 is enough to get me started on supply runs without feeling guilty

gilded verge
#

alright

#

i'll get started on fabbing some more higher tier stuff for later once assault is done

tired gate
#

so, internet claims that you dont have to betray houses to get the other sides stuff.

apparently certain venders will eventually just sell the other sides stuff

#

either time based or rank requirements

gilded verge
#

nope yeah

#

you can get the other side stuff

#

its just sold at a mark-up

tired gate
#

neat

gilded verge
#

everything is in the storage unit at the end of the left wall @spare field

spare field
#

Kay I need

#

sleep

gilded verge
#

yeah go sleep

hybrid tartan
#

have fun

hybrid tartan
#

gonna take out the buggy for a min and collect bodies

#

weirdly, I took out a base and after i got 2 bodies, the rest just disappeared on me

#

bouncing for a bit, might be on again later

glossy dust
#

oh there were 2 rad pills i found on one of the main quests in the consumables box, 3? to the left of the middle alu boxes

#

they last 10 mins give +3% rad resistance and speed up its exit

glossy dust
#

nice little haul of spice, was 3 blows near our base, one on drum sand :p

glossy dust
#

and the box of waterbags(bodies) has been refilled

glossy dust
#

and the refinery is opperational, 2 med refineries up so far, planning 4

spare field
#

Nice.

#

Is the Sand Crawler even fast enough to evade worms or is it the biggest risk. :U

gilded verge
#

yesn't

#

you're supposed to do it in teams

#

one person with sand crawler

#

one person with a thumper

spare field
#

Aha, so like in the actual book

gilded verge
#

yup

#

i'd say probably works best with assault orni

#

one person with sandcrawler

#

one with assault orni 4-5 hundred meters away hovering and dropping player 3 with athumper to call in the worm over there

spare field
#

Mhm.

glossy dust
#

and one with a carryall orno

spare field
#

Makes the most Solari out of everything, I guess.

gilded verge
#

fecking

#

kidding me

#

off making a full assault by THREE DURA

spare field
#

rip

#

Do you need more stuff from Sheol's radiation zone or just more aluminum

gilded verge
#

Jasmium

spare field
#

Iraddiated zone.

#

I guess I'll fuck off in that general direction once I finish doing stuff

gilded verge
#

i'ma make a quick run rn

spare field
#

I need to get my buggy running anyways, so that'll be a good chance. uh, if I have enough dosh to get back home. :U

gilded verge
#

it free to transport back to hagga basin

spare field
#

I should probably do a run for Agave seeds first so we have more rad resist

#

Oh sick

#

a'ight then I guess it's gather time when I get back, I need to uhhhhh not be loaded to the gills with random stuff

#

Too bad I can't like, tow an extra storage thing on the buggy

#

Can't imagine how damn slow it'd be trying to do this with other players in the server lol

#

It's already bad enough trying to transport things.

#

oh pfft. I was wondering what the bottom slot in our equipment slots was for. It's for content that's not even in the game yet.

#

I thought it was for a rare backpack or something, nope

#

utterly useless rn

gilded verge
#

since it was there

#

i imagine it's a imminent post-launch thing?

#

or like "heres an option if we need to triage an item"

spare field
#

It's for PvP, hence my annoyance.

gilded verge
#

oooh

#

okay yeah useless

spare field
#

It's a sand veil for hiding yourself from players in the desert

#

At least according to Reddit, which admittedly isn't the most reliable source of information

gilded verge
#

i'm off for now, wifi is dying

#

but the assault orni is complete

#

got storage, gave everyone flight perms

spare field
#

Nice

gilded verge
#

fueled up and has a 1 refill in the storage

spare field
#

Buggy is still more useful for resource gathering but if we just need to go and get like, drop loot

#

That's our ticket

gilded verge
#

yeah

#

its much more useful for gathering jasmium

#

and allo near base

#

since its all only reachable by orni near base

spare field
#

Aside from like, Agave seeds, is there any zone specific loot I should work on getting for us?

gilded verge
#

Nope

#

Just endless cycle of water and allo

spare field
#

Kay. I'll grab some Agave Seeds and insulated fabric and shit, just so we have some.

glossy dust
#

heh few spice blows going off in sheol

spare field
#

Mmmm, irradiated flavor

glossy dust
#

there will be some alu at the 2nd base if you want to go pick it up gurm :p

tired gate
#

heads up. Im taking the van for some alu

oooh a ping of 400+ today!

bleh, mine sits at a stable 200

gilded verge

#

hells happening in Cali

tired gate
#

okay we now have 400 aluminum bars crafting

#

I swear to god

#

if I dont get to use this for ALUMINIUM GEAR, Im going to have a cow.

gilded verge
#

if we have enough

#

skip to dura

#

or if you wait a bit

tired gate
#

its my Alu

gilded verge
#

i can grab some jasmium

tired gate
#

Im using it for my Alu gear

gilded verge
#

for you to upgrade it to dura

#

so you skip a tier

tired gate
#

no.

gilded verge
#

alrighht

tired gate
#

also Im out to get some blood

#

for no reason

spare field
#

Why do you want Aluminum specifically, the looks?

tired gate
spare field
#

.... How am I ahead of you in crafting schematics

tired gate
#

becasue the way Ive been doing researching is before moving on I research EVERYTHING from the tier

#

cause like

#

what if I need it

spare field
#

...

tired gate
#

also thank you @gilded verge

gilded verge
#

no worries

spare field
#

I am going to make you Duraluminum gear. 😛

gilded verge
#

also you get points endlessly

#

also gurm

#

leveling is not exponential

tired gate
#

oh

#

huh

#

thast

gilded verge
#

yeah

tired gate
#

that makes it a lot easier

gilded verge

cause i'm already 125

ALRIGHTY THEN

I really need to get questing

On a binge

What level are you guys?

spare field
#

80?

tired gate
gilded verge
#

oh okay

#

not that ahead

tired gate
#

most of my time has been spent on mining aluminium

spare field
#

I haven't done most of the quests though

tired gate
#

and mapping

#

yeah

spare field
#

Yeah

tired gate
#

quests are where you get most of the XP

#

and Ive got a big ol backlog since Ive been picking up everything I could find

spare field
#

Most of mine has been looking around for stuff and trying to gather the stuff we're missing, then wondering why I did three things in three hours (which feels fucking terrible)

gilded verge
#

i need to go back to zone 1 and get the rest of the uniques

spare field
#

Oh I'm not even gonna bother with that

tired gate
#

but yeah. off ot make a blood run. cause I mighta. used up. all the water......

spare field
#

But let me know if you need a hand.

gilded verge
#

oh i can take you up north gurm

#

i'm heading p north

#

so we can take the assault if you want

tired gate
#

aight sounds good

#

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

gilded verge
#

i'll park at the Atredies base

tired gate
#

I can always just take my own back if I need to skedattle

gilded verge
#

oh yeah that works

spare field
#

Lol just

#

Do a drop off

#

Send Gurm to where it is and have him paradrop out with the suspensor belt

tired gate
#

also a good idea

#

weegy this is very unsafe

spare field
#

CRONCH

tired gate
#

I swear to god if you crash and explode our multi hundred aluminium monster I will have WORDS

gilded verge
#

thats what i've done

#

imma fuck off and do my quests/gather some bodies

ping me if you need a pick up @tired gate

tired gate

Air Weeg is active

Air taxi

hybrid tartan
#

What happens if someone logs off on the passenger seat? Do they wake up in a terminal afterwards?

tired gate
#

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh......

#

something

#

something doesnt look right

spare field
#

Hmm. Thinking on it, I'll probably stop playing after doing the main story.

#

I think I'm waning on the game pretty hard

#

Sorry. X:

#

I'll make sure not to eat up too many resources, so uh. Somebody else can probably use the buggy I was gonna make

gilded verge
#

no worries

#

the main story is more then the 8 trials fyi

spare field
#

Yeah, which is why I'm thinking I'll probably stop after it. I'm just kinda dealing with Open World fatigue.

#

Again, the three things in three hours

gilded verge
#

oh totally understandable

spare field
#

Just kinda eats at you.

gilded verge
#

assault thopther is at base with about 1k allo in it

spare field
#

noted

tired gate
#

I have deposited blood

#

yay blood

spare field
#

you know maybe I actually would enjoy this game more with the risk of PVP

gilded verge
#

in a few days i think we'd be prepped to try the Deep Desert

#

next cycle for sure

spare field
#

It just feels so damn dull fighting the NPCs, they kinda suck. And they suck because you're at risk of getting shanked by whoeever's going by

hybrid tartan
#

hopping on for a bit

hybrid tartan
#

level 100 has now been reached

#

"Give yourself to... The Computation." is a fun line

hybrid tartan
#

a fun error of the game.

glossy dust
#

go drive on it , driving on partially loaded assests is fun

spare field
#

weegy

#

you didn't give me the front of the buggy

#

I'll make one

pure moth
#

Hopping on and streaming my recovery process , will be going solo until I reach a point I cought up with y'all or really need a pick up

#

Since I am just at "leave the Basin" quest stage

spare field
#

yep

#

Just gimme a yell, I got my buggy and can come grab you whenever

#

I'm just on a basic quest and mining run and also need to head back there anyways

glossy dust
#

gl crossing the desert

spare field
#

right

#

I need to remember

#

This game has a fucking memory leak so trying to play it for long periods sucks

#

Trying to fight things and I'm literally lagging out of combat skills and missing every stab

spare field
#

okay I have the whole damn map mapped I think

glossy dust
#

grats

spare field
#

So if you need a map made so you don't need to climb stuff

#

Just ask

spare field
#

Deposited a bunch of crap in the base. Need to break to not burn out.

#

Did quite a bit.

gilded verge
#

ignore me barzha

#

expanding base

spare field
#

I am quickly realizing they expect you to make a scout ornithopter. Lots of missions that suddenly require you to go across the entire map to complete, which is whatever. I'll cave and grab a thopter later.

spare field
#

I forget @gilded verge did you set aside a fukkin. Scout ornithopter for me? Or did you leave it for public use.

gilded verge
#

i've got mine and its set so you can use it for now

#

but i also have half the components for a scout orni on its own

spare field
#

Noted.

#

I'll probably work on getting the materials for a first tier scouter for myself when I get the energy

#

I am actively tempted to try and get the max tier of Buggy Cutteray

#

Just so we can put that on the group use mining buggy and get that done. At the least, putting the Unique buggy storage on it is probably gonna be my actual next project

gilded verge
#

max tier requires going out to the deep desert

spare field
#

Fuck

#

Not that worth it to boost it to tier 5 yet then

gilded verge
#

oh

#

'tier 5 doesn't

#

i meant tier 6

spare field
#

I did mean t6 at first, but if allw we can get rn is T5 it's not worth it, I meant

gilded verge
#

ahh

spare field
#

Tier 4 is enough to get us going even if buggy driving is slowly driving me insane. :U

#

It's at least fun now that I've gotten to the later enemies that have better equipment. Battles are more difficult so it's less of a snooze fest to go gathering

gilded verge
#

if you want a challenge

#

Mysa Tarill

#

that plcae sucks

spare field
#

Do we need anything from there?

gilded verge
#

Aside from quests and a really good unique blueprint, nope

#

oh wait yes

#

carbide scraps

spare field
#

K

gilded verge
#

the mini-boss at the end of the sanctuary drops like 50

spare field
#

Oh shit

#

@gilded verge there are unique buggy Cutterays with better aluminium yields

gilded verge
#

yeah theres one for 125k at the atredies trader

#

i have enough to nab it

spare field
#

Yeah, but the rank 4 one for aluminum yield focus is a drop unique

gilded verge
#

oooh

#

where?

spare field
#

In eastern shield I think. Southern comms, Artemis passage, beast claw listed

#

For comparison the basic mk 4 is 96 alu

#

The focused is 116

gilded verge
#

ooojh

spare field
#

Focused mk 5 is a way bigger jump

#

Regular mk5 is 135, focused is 165

#

Err, 168

gilded verge
#

i'll do some Southern Comms soonish

#

just chilling and building base rn

spare field
#

I'll make an ornithopter and go gathering unique blueprints I think

#

I also need to go get Agave seeds for iodine

glossy dust
#

gah finally found derek for adv planetology|| in testing station 76 in the room just before the solido porjection|| sneaky bugger

spare field
#

Yup. I got him too and got tier 3 planetologist skills which are noce

gilded verge
#

deserves it

#

and i'll do that next

glossy dust
#

must have run past him 5 times 😦

gilded verge
#

i can buy that

#

and also means i gotta finish these renos

#

doubling orni landing pads

spare field
#

Get the focused Cutteray, I'll make the T5 unique storage so we can make real efficient mining runs

#

As a note, it is important to rank up the buggy treads and all, so I might also work on making the shared buggy as good as can be

gilded verge
#

if you go up north @spare field take the Assault thopter for the storage space

spare field
#

Kay

#

I'm heading west to Sheol for Jasmium

#

We're out of it.

gilded verge
#

oh yeah

#

assault for sure then

#

well wormy tried to eat the base

#

WELP

#

WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP

#

So my orni is gone

i built the base too far onto the sand

i'm too lazy

#

@spare field those little craters

#

its those

glossy dust
#

woo bigger buggy boot mk4 bp

#

and did you work out how far you could build so we can have a worm feeding viewing platform?

spare field
#

AH

#

The fucking

#

buggy mk4 is not effective for jsamium

glossy dust
#

have we seen a thermoelectric cooler? just need 11 of those and some dura for the mk5

gilded verge
#

we do not

spare field
#

They are deep desert or purchase at the Crossroads trading post

#

I'll buy as many as I can carry on the way back from Sheol

#

Weegy, should I gather more Holtzman Amplifiers from the downed thopters?

glossy dust
#

ill check how many we have bu i think its plenty

#

yea we have 1200 of the things

gilded verge
#

oh yeah we have enough

#

okay so theres enough space for another assault and 4 scouts

#

just when you park, pull over to the side

#

so theres room for others to take off

spare field
#

Ah my gear is trashed

#

Shame

#

Bailing now with like 3k crystals

#

sorry, 1.5k

#

Radiation too intense, need iodine next time

glossy dust
#

there are 2 i found in the chest with all the spice food and bandages

gilded verge
#

1.5k is plenty

tired gate
spare field
#

Bought 15 Thermocells

#

How many did we need for that other one

glossy dust
#

the mk 5? 11

spare field
#

So we have enough for my shitbox to get some, we'll wanna keep them for prooobably the Focused instead tho

#

Yeah that one needs 13

#

@gilded verge You want me to fast track getting you those thermocoolers for the unique or come back with more Aluminum

gilded verge
#

either is good

#

just refining base right noow

#

i gotta go to the questgiver and buy it anyways

#

wait come back

#

since you got the jasmium

spare field
#

kay

gilded verge
#

get started on dura so we can construct you a proper scout orni

#

and i may need a new one...

spare field
#

I also picked up some Spiced Dura

#

So we have that for what we need

#

Will make it back shortly

#

How do I harvest Agave seeds btw

#

Is it just looking for the interactable or do I need a tool

tired gate
#

I think tool??????

#

Have you tried the compactor?

gilded verge
#

interactable

#

its like a weird cactus

#

their pretty rare

tired gate
#

Huh

#

Aight.

spare field
#

Kay

glossy dust
#

there is 300 alu sitting at the refining base if you wanna go grab it

spare field
#

Sorry for the dlay weeg

#

Been dodging worms

#

and sandstorms

gilded verge
#

no worries

#

i had to go say hi to my grandparents

#

so you've got time

spare field
#

BTW should I work on making the upgraded crafting stations

#

IDK whether they provide a discount or are required for more advanced parts

gilded verge
#

its discounts

#

but its plastinium

#

which is DD

spare field
#

Kay

#

Got 212 Duraluminum being crafted

gilded verge
#

if you want to go to DD though

#

feel free to take the assault chopter

#

just stick to the south with it for PvE

#

see what its like on this cluster

spare field
#

I snagged a standard buggy storage mk5 while out and about, swapped it on my crawlbox

#

I'll go and get a bunch of uhhhh. Diamondine dust and other parts because lol

#

I just used most of them for making my personal orni

gilded verge
#

thaank

spare field
#

Oh.

#

Well that's annoying

#

No matter the number of vehicle storage devices you have, you can only store a single vehicle.

#

So I can't have two, one for bike and one for flyer.

#

Well whatever.

#

I left my decent bike down at the base, gave everyone permissions

#

Kay

#

yeah...

#

I should've made this ages ago. Oh well.

glossy dust
#

heh anyone else orno like deploying landing gear when you are high up? 🙂

gilded verge
#

nope

spare field
#

Nope. Also

#

Got 18 diamondine and 31 carbide

#

Hellishly difficult to get more eh, there's only one spawn point

gilded verge
#

thaank

gilded verge
spare field
#

Haven't made it back yet

gilded verge
#

ahh

spare field
#

did a quest to see if I could bait out the respawn timer for the mats

#

Didn't work

gilded verge
#

ping me when you get back

#

wanna remake my orni before i hop off

#

base is rebuilt and condonsed

spare field
#

Dropped off

#

@gilded verge

glossy dust
#

fresh bodies aquired as well, should keep you fed for a few hours :p

spare field
#

It's probably not enough since the diamondine is so scarce there. Tomorrow I'll try another run for it.

gilded verge
#

thaank

#

i'll be doing diamondine later

#

don't worry green

#

i've got a quest that puts me there

spare field
#

Kay. It'll at least get you a replacement

#

I need another nap. Damn work and lack of sleep. I think that's also enough Dune for me for the day because I'm starting to get fatigued.

glossy dust
#

night green

pure moth
#

Question

#

Can I replace the bike frame with Mk2 or only make a new bike ?

spare field
#

You can rip off parts to a bike whenever and reattach them

pure moth
#

So even the base ?

spare field
#

That I haven't tested since everything needs to be attached to that one

#

Never tried it personally.

tired gate
# pure moth So even the base ?

The base is your vehicle so ripping it out “deletes” the vehicle. You can’t uninstall the frame til everything else is gone.

pure moth
#

okay so if I do a full T2 upgrade.. just make a new bike

tired gate
#

Yes.

#

Maybe feed the old bike to the worm as a sacrifice.

pure moth
#

He already has my first build !

tired gate
#

And mine

#

And weegy’s ornithopter

#

Feed him

#

He’s hungy.

spare field
#

Cry, you can use my bike in the base

#

It's a t3, iirc

#

I'm not gonna use it now that I have my whirligig

gilded verge
#

Yeah can't replace the chassis without rebuilding it

gilded verge
#

the more complaints i hear about this game

#

the more i'm convinced they were under strict time pressure

#

like the complaints, are all valid to be clear

#

its a flawed game

#

but nothing i've heard so far has been a fundementally wrong choice in game design, just a balance issue or application of the wrong features that could(and really should) have been sorted out in QA

#

or the result of not playing the intended way(no PvP)

#

but also a mix of standard MMO-growing pains of nothing ever working right from the get-go

spare field
#

Right, taking a stint to the deep desert

#

What do I need to get for Plastanium shite

gilded verge
#

i think a t5?

#

i'm not sure

#

i'm avoiding google and wikis since i've enjoyed finding stuff in the wild

#

but should be t5 or 6

#

to travel, make sure to take a decaliterjon for 10k litres and a few fuel cells

#

need it to traverse the map

spare field
#

Yep.

#

I'll take the Assault bird and the scanner things

#

ah shit

#

So

#

Weegy you'll probably have to dip into your funds

#

If we want the t5 Cutteray, I need to use the Thermoelectric Coolers

gilded verge
#

yeah i'll go buy it next time i'm in

#

unless you need/want it now

#

i can hop quickly if needed

spare field
#

No I mean if you want to make the Unique cutteray for the buggy

#

You'll need to buy more

gilded verge
#

oh yeah

spare field
#

If I'm lucky I'll find stuff in the deep desert on my trip

gilded verge
#

i'll buy some more

spare field
#

okay early deep desert report

#

This is fucking terrible

#

Will continue to report until I actually find something

gilded verge
spare field
#

It is a very featureless expanse with only some resources.

gilded verge
#

500 square kilometers

spare field
#

Yeah

#

Would suggest, heavily, bringing a scout ornithopter for first looks

#

So you can scan for stuff more easily

gilded verge
#

makes sense

#

and they've already improved the deep desert

spare field
#

Also

#

You can't see your ride if you don't own it

gilded verge
#

i imagine at this point its just a waiting game for the big improvements

spare field
#

Yeaahh that kinda means

#

I don't want to wait for it

gilded verge
#

entirely understandable

spare field
#

This is definitely not content to attempt to solo tbh

#

a second person would help a lot for scouting and pickups

#

Also the sandworms try to eat the ornithopters and some of the only stuff I found kept getting eaten by the worms

gilded verge
#

hmm

#

that sucks

spare field
#

Like, big mechanical bject in desert
