Someone'll mod it. But, I bet the instant you do... sound of pet glitching through floor and falling into the void
crisp fern
Someone'll mod it. But, I bet the instant you do... *sound of pet glitching thro...
what's bizarre to me is that you can have them on the Anomaly, which has the same sort of summonability as the freighter so like what is happening there, lol
i'm sure it's probably something something instancing
mighty rampart
I think they might have done that on purpose
timid mist
could be something to do with pathing
outer cobalt
How about planet bases? Do pets follow inside without issue?
mighty rampart
maybe they couldnt get the collisions right
severe sun
i'm sure it's probably something something instancing
The ones on the anomoly look like holograms tbh, so maybe just lore
timid mist
annomaly is easy to test because it's static
mighty rampart
and what adamb said actually happens
crisp fern
didn't stop them from letting you summon them aboard space stations, lol
mighty rampart
phasing through walls and then they noclip
crisp fern
They really have trouble pathing on space stations
timid mist
i couldn't summon mine on a station
vague badge
I'll try to use my gigantic pet inside my base lmao
crisp fern
Really?
mighty rampart
yeah and space stations have the same layout in the main area
severe sun
Do they follow you all the way around the space station, or just in the main area?
waxen garnet
I believe it has to do with the fact that you could remove parts they wander in.
mighty rampart
so at least they can bugfix their patching
crisp fern
severe sun
i.e. can they go in the back rooms
timid mist
i think it's just the landing area
crisp fern
They can sorta make their way to the backrooms
timid mist
i was on the balcony
crisp fern
I had Deretto follow me into the backrooms
crisp fern
But they couldn't get into the locked room
mighty rampart
yeah and I wont be surprised if they glitch in the back rooms
outer cobalt
Can the new pets use the Short Range Teleporters?
crisp fern
Or at least, I didn't give them enough time to figure out how
mighty rampart
though the back rooms are also only a small set of proc gen rooms

mighty rampart
wouldnt be that hard to get their collisions right

but freighters are custom bases so I can see it being an issue

you'd think maybe they'd at least let them show up in the hangar tho
trim dune
i'd LOVE to create a "mini biome" on freighter and put the pet there

I sat waiting for this to move
mighty rampart
yeah they could at least let you spawn them in the hangars

Once I got a pet, I wonder if it likes to ride the Merry go Round I made. Might get sick, perhaps laying rotten eggs ... Might need to put up a sign 'No Pets Allowed'?

NMS should go full mobile and give me notifications that my egg is ready to hatch

would actually have been really satisfying if they tagged creatures with rarity

man they really had the groundwork to do a decent egg timer but...

@mighty rampart lol
mighty rampart
feed them till they're full

full affection and hunger will lay egg, resets the hunger meter and drops affection a bit
feed/pet again for another egg

yeah, they could have made it so, if you feed the creature certain food they can lay the egg faster
or something...

Yeh i want rarity lol
trim dune
gameplay instead of tiemers

Make it even more Pokemon like
hybrid pendant
@trim dune well they always room for improvements
uncut harness
Legendary pokemon(fauna)
mighty rampart
and if you dont want excess eggs just dont feed them that often
timid mist
i think excess eggs is fine if there's gameplay mechanics limiting the hatching in place
astral karma
Just tell me if I can get my army of spinny zoom beyblade bois
timid mist
maybe an incubator similar to the cooking station that has its own storage, but can only incubate one at a time
or hatch without the incubator but it takes a bit longer and maybe provides better bonuses like higher initial trust
trim dune
yeah, we really need to let HG know that this timer thing is ... ughhh bad

Hello Games remains baffled people keep playing, founder Sean Murray elaborates, "We kept adding timers after timers, eventually changing them to real-time, and making them go up to entire days, and people just kept playing" Bashfully he adds, "We thought they'd leave us alone with the first few, but for some reason people really seemed to love it, and we appreciate their dedication to the game, you know?"

@mighty rampart i dont mind it for fregates i just send them and go to work and do other stuff
crisp fern
add gameplay instead of real world timers
you're supposed to be basebuilding and running trade routes, except your base probably obviates the trade routes, but ignore that
timid mist
i think real world timers are ok in some games but it sorta loses any viability of being "fun" when it's 24 hours+
outer cobalt
Anyone tried Atlas Stations yet?
mighty rampart
yeah I can understand for freighters, its supposed to be an idle game and also those frigates physically go to systems so there's more credibility
timid mist
frigates are where it actually fits really nicely imo
rancid ether
Ive honestly never liked the pokemon egg mechanic at all and find timers to be more sensical. Surprised to see this is already a common complaint.
mighty rampart
but its annoying when you add something fun that is an active part of the game and slap a timer on it
hybrid pendant
good pet
timid mist
honestly id be ok with timers if it just wasn't 24 hours lol
crisp fern
Frigates are the one area I'd grant them to, but a couple mission chains, and this? Nah
wispy helm
I'm sure we'll have a mod within a day or two that reduces the timers 😛
outer cobalt
Oh well, at least it doesn't take months ...
trim dune
yeah.. 3-4 hours would have been ok
rancid ether
A varying timer for the various creature types would be cool but the resounding consensus i always see is timers = evil
crisp fern
Don't give them ideas Pixy...
outer cobalt
hehehe
timid mist
when I play I wanna do stuff in one session, or at least set things up. I don't really wanna have daily responsibilities but I think they're doing it in part to keep return players around
mighty rampart
dunno man if anything I got discouraged lol
crisp fern
The first part is me Zoid, I just wanna do stuff in a single session for the most part
mighty rampart
genshin is already a daily chore
hybrid pendant
well for me most of what i do will take days
mighty rampart
and that's a predatory mobile game
mighty rampart
returning players for the most part want to engage with the new features as soon as possible
hybrid pendant
i guess that why some really cant bare with the tutorial
when if they were a little bit more patient they would be able to go through it
crisp fern
Mmhmm. At most they'll probably tame a few fauna and then forget about the splicing part
mighty rampart
since the content revolving around this is pretty small, it feels like they artificially limited it
doesnt feel organic at all
rancid ether
If the egg gestation was a walking mechanic, players would complain about it being a grind. I dont think HG will ever win everyone over, regardless of how they implement game mechanics
timid mist
yeah like have a 24h timer for passives but speed it up by doing certain things
crisp fern
or feeding and caring for a certain way
trim dune
YEP

Feed the eggs to Cronus

rancid ether
Advancing by walking makes less sense than any timer though.
timid mist
or have the gene sequencer incubate/accelerate
crisp fern
Walking doesn't have to be the only option
It's just one of a few ideas
The basic premise being, offer different paths of advancement
trim dune
in other words add Gameplay
rancid ether
or have the gene sequencer incubate/accelerate
This is an interesting idea but i dont see how it wouldnt lead to some complaint of grinding or players complaining that they can't throw units at it
hybrid pendant
its weird to see a diplo on that planet
im not used to a diplo on this planet usualy its crabs
timid mist
just providing gameplay mechanics as an alternative to waiting
mighty rampart
lot of other things in this game already has options:
- buy an S class ship or grind your B class to S
- buy an S class multitool with 24 slots that you dont like, or upgrade the funny pistol you love
- actively explore and grind to earn money and resources, or do it idly by setting up automation and frigate missions
timid mist
people will always complain pretty much
rancid ether
in other words add Gameplay
This is almost antithetical to a large chunk of NMS players play style. If that werent the case, players wouldnt race to riches before realizing they skipped half the game content
hybrid pendant
i wonder do u think we complain too much and not enjoy enough what we already have and got ?
after almost 5 years

no

Yeah, stupid huh?
crisp fern
well i wonder what features might have encouraged that...
timid mist
i think it's more just peoples tendency to want to minmax
rancid ether
Poll the general consensus on things like fixing up crashed ships. Perfect example.
timid mist
how do i make stupid amounts of units as quick as possible
trim dune
this what happens when you try to please everyone. You end up with a mixed soup
mighty rampart
and its a pretty small subset of people who properly minmax, most play casually
rancid ether
Or anything less than A class
hybrid pendant
@trim dune yup
that what happen when u say 100 different request
who u please?
the ones that want that
or dont want that?
those that dont mind this and dont want those timers
crisp fern
Yeah, stupid huh?
activated indium mines & frigate expeditions operating in real-time basically reinforce the disinterest in actively playing, since it's just as if not more efficient to let the game play itself
fallen warren
and its a pretty small subset of people who properly minmax, most play casually
im not sure the percentages, but i see people asking how do i make the best AI farm.. a lot
crisp fern
earn units? just rely on AI mines and/or frigate expeditions
rancid ether
activated indium mines & frigate expeditions operating in real-time basically re...
It is basically that exactly, yes. Players keep asking for automation and then complain about automated gameplay.
mighty rampart
im not sure the percentages, but i see people asking *how do i make the best AI ...
that's still kinda casual because they're not minmaxing they're just maxing as they want units
timid mist
it's the same principle tho sohail
rancid ether
Minimum effort, maximum return is like 100% AI farming in a nutshell
timid mist
minimizing grind maximizing output
mighty rampart
hmm
timid mist
there really isn't anything to "min" in NMS
crisp fern
Yeah but then you have some of us here asking for active gameplay and you're like but grind & such, when the fact of the matter is you don't have to design the gameplay to be grindy
timid mist
i don't mind some grind and they've definitely done a good amount to offer other options or reduce the need for it but just not a fan of the timers
hybrid pendant
i mean
i wouldnt want to be at their place
having shout from one side liking the grind
others saying its dumb
crisp fern
Plus people use grind so loosely, just mining a couple rocks is grind to some folks
timid mist
for sure, i think it's been improved a lot from initial release
mighty rampart
they really took that to heart lol
timid mist
especially with all the improvements to the inventory
mighty rampart
now you dont need to mine after like an hour into the game
crisp fern
but also with the right upgrades you just vaporize rocks and trees and whatever
timid mist
not perfect but i've never loved inventory management in any game so it's not like it's lacking compared to others imo
hybrid pendant
the overheat future was a nice addition of beyond
timid mist

Explorers can enjoy longer stretches of uninterrupted mining with less frequent and less aggressive sentinels, and a reworked overheat mechanic for the Mining Beam that rewards pushing heat to the limit.
@rancid ether
from beyond patch notes
waxen garnet
More often than not, "stealth improvements" are actually bugs
hybrid pendant
Reworked the Mining Beam overheat mechanic: the beam now cools down correctly rather than instantly resetting; the Mining Beam does more damage as it approaches max heat; the Mining Beam changes colour as it approaches max heat.
@rancid ether
rancid ether
Oh right, thats the overheat damage increase though
waxen garnet
Overheat was at release but it didn't matter
rancid ether
Yeah, it definitely overheated before Beyond but it didnt do more damage and yeah, it would reset once off the trigger

Ok, I have done some testing. Yes, changing the system time does affect the egg laying timer. And once it is ready to lay an egg you have to take it to it's native climate to lay an egg. I did some Genetic modifications and am waiting for the baby to grow up and I will post some before and after pictures. I am going to see if changing the system time affects the growth too.
