I hope we get more interesting weapons

Well
Loading bench is probably gonna be a thing
So
We can use our shotgun with impunity

Brewing system?
Are we gonna set up illegal distilleries underneath Australia
Summer 2026 crossover is totally dredge crossover isn’t it
soft chasm
i believe they said something in the comments here
of the post
that implied it was going to be fucking uhhhh
dbd
soft chasm
it would make sense
less deranged and hostile dev team
much more indie-crossover-happy too
sick charm
Dredge also gets a lot of crossovers with other indies yeah
sick charm
Lmao
Just sail around bahamas
In portal corrupted sea
Dredging up weird fish
Wonder what the mystery crossover will be
sick charm
wonder if there will be a dave the diver crossover
sick charm
hmmmm
bahamas...
located within the Bermuda Triangle
that fact probably won't be relevant since bermuda triangle is a myth
oak parcel
someone go check the globe in the order place see if theres a thing there
brittle comet
||third leyak variant is apparently contained in a Bahamas facility||
sick charm
I think this indicates that crossover is almost certainly going to be Dredg
The Hook design is very similar to the hook shown in the roadmap
oak parcel
i really hope it is dr- wait
BOAT
but yes i hope its dredge and not dbd
yeah boat, fishing improvements, giant fishook
dredge would be a good one
woeful raptor
i should really play dredge
sick charm
but yes i hope its dredge and not dbd
Yeah the update also has boats and fishing improvements
Which strongly implies dredge
soft chasm
it takes forever, has some really annoying glitches, and is just involved enough to require focus but not be fun in any way
at least to me
sick charm
What if they make it dredge fishing
soft chasm
would go hard
clever flower
Also should let you use the damnb walkie talkie while fishing
dense ember
yeah something like, I dunno
dance dance fish-volution gameplay
still involves arrow keys but in a refreshing way
could even reuse animation even!
sick charm
We be dancing with the fishes tonight 
dense ember
something to like
fail intentionally to fish garbage faster would be nice too
yes there that fishing pant, but it still takes a bit long honestly

Lmfao
oak parcel
they fell for a classic blunder (the ammo bench does not inherit auto grab)
sick charm
What do you need to have the crafting material inside your inventory to use it?
oak parcel
yep
sick charm
Like a common laborer? A caveman?
brittle comet
finally oh my god
brittle comet
and also sick
growable mushrooms fuck yes
soft chasm
yeah!
brittle comet
this is a very nice accessibility feature
that shit gets annoying after a while
The exercise equipment is super nice too
cant wait for the definitely not a collab with DREDGE update so fishing is improved
oak parcel
takes scrap metal and gunpowder which is anteverse gel, carbon, and poo
candid temple
My bug report was noticed
sick charm
how much gunpowder per craft?
dense ember
gosh, poo is gonna be the hard part of the recipe again
probably should not have converted most of my poo into soil..
if it's 2-3 ammo then it's only worth for anything that isn't pistol and assault rifle ammo then
oak parcel
oh sorry it is soil bags
my brain just equates the two resources
i didnt really check the individual crafts so i'm not sure on the costs for each
oak parcel
Shotgun ammo (the only type I regularly use) is one gunpowder 5 scrap metal for 2 shells
sick charm
That’s pretty expensive
Wood for shotgun shells would still be far less expensive
Not to mention they are typically available for free in shadowgate
What I want is the ability to deconstruct one type of bullet to recover gunpowder
oak parcel
Wood?
sick charm
The trader sells shotgun shells in exchange for wooden plank
oak parcel
Less expensive but more quantity limited
oak parcel
if you're that far into the game
frozen narwhal
The recipe for all of them is 1 gunpowder, 5 scrap metal, with a yield of either 2 or 4 bullets - 4 for 5.56 and 9mm, 2 for the others
sick charm
4 for 556?
Quite generous
Actually
Would certainly make my plasma rifle more casually useful
sick charm
I used up most of my scrap metal to craft rockets
soft chasm
5 is nothing ngl
you get infinite scrap from nightly robots
i ended my 3-man run with three composite storage crates full of metal

would you like to know where the balatro hat is?

There is a ||massive perforation above the residence sector…||

i'm still fairly confident dredge is in the works
frozen narwhal
Didn’t they already implement the Balatro crossover?
oak parcel
yeah earlier this month
sick charm
There’s multiple crossover in the works
Balatro is presumably “the crossover for which we have an unsigned contract for”
And dredge is the one for next year
oak parcel
nah
well it could be
but it could be somthing other than balatro
feels a bit weird to do a 2 stage crossover
brittle comet
???
playstack publishes both balatro and abiotic factor, deep field finally got approval to put in a jimbo hat, ID tag and scarf
it was added in the community patch a while ago
supple dome
funny jimbo hat
and yeah they already added it into the game
Balatro is not the teased crossover they've already done it

im looking but i havent found any so far, maybe the final office area?
havent checked there yet
oak parcel
i'd check the final office area the storage room in the arcade, the managers office, the office at the back
woeful raptor
checking now, checked, and checked i have not seen any yet, might have just missed em but i shoulda vacuumed everything
oak parcel
make sure you're checking in desks

brittle comet
What’s rubber used for anyways
makeshift crossbow
Net launcher
Mud waders
Throwing darts
Binoculars
Carbuncle balloon trinket
It is also technically a throwable itself
The balloon increases your carry weight by ten pounds
oak parcel
Oooooo I really hope that like, and this is going to sound weird but bear with me, companions are items and you stick them in a specific slot and they show up near you so when your doing traversal or if you think they have low health you can just pop them out of that slot back into your inventory to keep them safe
Cus you can't put them in a thing or Nintendo will come after you
Also hoping for some more character creation traits
soft chasm
same
sick charm
I am hoping for Pokémon style uhhh containment device for the new pets
A portable containment device
That perhaps can be fit onto your belt
Perhaps in a sphere like shape
That can be placed inside one’s pockets
oak parcel
sick charm
What if we can turn our pets into a mug of coffee

i'm hoping at least one of the pets is just a pack mule
brittle comet
isn't that just the moving box
actually i hope they let us tame the moving box
turn it into a pet that's always by our side and doesnt eat random shit
oak parcel
as is the moving box is just an annoyance i try not to think about
brittle comet
yeah :(
i hope they improve him
the luggage reference should not be so bad

I'm glad the votv reference is getting to be a full crossover
oak parcel
dense ember
oh no
are we getting another portal world
fuck the mannequien, I don't want another leyak
brittle comet
I do wonder what entities they’ll have
Rozitals? Arirals? The Antibreather? Wolfgang? Greys?
supple dome
fuck the mannequien, I don't want *another* leyak
there is potential for one more to show up
canonically there are three
dense ember
whart the heck is that image haha
soft chasm
wolverine being launched into orbit or spongebob in the deepfried amnesia bunker?
brittle comet
it's a silent hill screenshot no
brittle comet
there is potential for one more to show up
I thought the third was on the Bahamas aka GATE Leaf facility
anyway the funniest outcome for this would be a Kerfur pet
supple dome
I thought the third was on the Bahamas aka GATE Leaf facility
something like that yeah
doesn't mean it can't show up

anyway the funniest outcome for this would be a Kerfur pet
Funniest outcome is for all of votv to be ported over as a new portal world

tbf a non dangerous leyak would be funny
Kinda like that SCP that lurks in your peripheral vision
this one
oak parcel
a conditionaly dangerous one would also be fun
like one thats only dangerous on a tuesday or if you have a gun out or somthing
oak parcel
Am vibrating in excitement
oak parcel
So I know they probably picked Monday so they had the whole work week to deal with any issues, but it would have been nice if they put out the patch notes so we could read about the non spoiler changes
oak parcel
Trying to organize a game with friends for after it patches and just none of then are responding other than the one I already have a scheduled game thing with who said he was fine swapping games for that time slot
sick charm
When’s the update
oak parcel
4th
dense ember
tomorrow???
sick charm
That soon?
oak parcel
The only thing we know for certain is
5 4
More specifically

Which is Morse for 5 4

I've been getting into this game with friends and having a whale of a time ❤️

it is in fact dunkeltater forest

As scientist you’ve been picking up literally multiple anvils
brittle comet
and an entire fridge
supple dome
they're calling it the greatest game ever made
oak parcel
i hope we somehow get a lucid blocks crossover
brittle comet
i think the next one (the boat one) is dredge
supple dome
man they added in such a huge map
oak parcel
but can you do the signal minigame?
supple dome
not sure, basically just started the update
brittle comet
in my 237.5 hours of abiotic i never noticed the difference on the doors
"this door wont budge" vs "this door wont open from this side"
brittle comet
think im gonna base by the tram stations again
it's this or the security office Again
frozen narwhal
Security office is just too good
frozen narwhal
What, like with bridges?
brittle comet
the bridges and the cubicle pieces
oak parcel
for my last few runs i put 3 or 4 carbon bridges on the other side of the railing of the 2nd floor of the security office
if you build it just right you can use bridges and stuff to make it so you can just walk over the railing but it takes forever to set up
oak parcel
I wish there was a way to reserve a hotbar slot and get companion pests to like climb back into your inventory so you could just use them as a living self retrieving throwing weapon
brittle comet
maybe some kind of ball shaped item
oak parcel
no then the nintendo comes after you
best bet would be a different collar where when you throw it leaves behind a ghost item of the collar
you know what i go make actual suggestion
brittle comet
what about a ghostbusters trap
oak parcel
also i hate that fanny pack is even more powerfull now
soft chasm
they really gotta do something to fix that
oak parcel
there is one acceptable solution, roll it in as default and give it another effect
honestly the whole trait system needs a rework
like
traits that give you levels shouldnt just give you levels but shift down the xp requrements down by that many
so if you get like 3 levels level 20 takes as much xp to get as level 17
oak parcel
and defense training or w/e should go from +3 damage dealt to -3 damage taken
imo the best trait systems are ones where all the traits do stuff you otherwise cant get
brittle comet
got the chemistry gear finally
oak parcel
sick charm
What can you do with it
oak parcel
spoiler any detailed answers to that please
brittle comet
I don't know beyond make weapon oils, throwing weapons and potions you can drink
which is all that was shown in the trailer
OH one thing I should note: it's the only way to get milk for cooking now
you need to put the milk sacs from peccaries in the distillation table to get bottled milk
But anyway distillations are like, general topics of thing made from items
experiment! throw basically everything in there that'll go! there's lots of different ways to make the same distillation!
oh i'll add one thing: dont bother with enethiol hydrochloric acid carapace and leyak essence because it makes useless noxious sludge
one other thing: the weapon oils work for ranged weapons too
brittle comet
They made the Security sector way more dangerous wow
the laser in storage sector c (not the laser pistol dw) doesn't dispel ||the reaper|| anymore and he does not give up
also you have to go into canaan now to get a lodestone fragment, instead of it just being optional
soft chasm
i believe that's not a super recent change
oak parcel
i have discovered a thing with the bench press and exercise bike
if you periodically stop using them the timer or w/e for giving you the debuffs never goes off
brittle comet
i didnt even know they had debuffs
oak parcel
yeah if you use them long enough in one go it disables getting xp from them for a while
oak parcel
also can we briefly discuss how fucked it is that there isnt a gravity gun in this game yet?
soft chasm
...huh, so there isn't
the vacuum is a consolation prize, at least
succ rockets, grenades, and pests
brittle comet
Finally did the votv crossover
It was nice if short
The furniture is so very nice though
brittle comet
laid down my second floor finally
now i need to go furniture shopping at the furniture store (and alpen signal observatorium and the train)

Not the first time we went to a video game if this crossover do happens lmao
oak parcel
For those who have done it ball park how long does the votv cross over take to do from the time you enter the portal not counting secret hunting
oak parcel
Did the votv content and uhh kinda disapointing
sick charm
They won’t add anything groundbreaking for an optional free content
I’m more hedging my bet for the dredge crossover
brittle comet
Did the votv content and uhh kinda disapointing
it could've been more but i liked it
oak parcel
I just feel like votv had a lot of unique and interesting stuff to it and the crossover didn't really touch on any of it
dense ember
I wish for more weird food stuff at least
Does deployed shrimp has a chance of disappearing on their own?
Also, it IS kinda weird that ||STOLAS harddrive can be distilled for... Fleshy distillation, like lodestone or greyeb||
dense ember
What do you mean?
sick charm
Ah so that’s why the console keep bleeding in votv
brittle comet
in VOTV there is also a lot of ||dead bodies buried around the facility||
and the big door downstairs usually goes to a meat locker. when you arrive, the handle is jammed shut from the outside with a folding chair
sick charm
Well obviously what if the meat escape
brittle comet
they should be more worried about whatever's eating the meat
dense ember
why is there so many meats in votv even before the players arrive
elder wolf
Too bad there's not an additional crossover with Pacific Drive and with VotV/Abiotic Factor
candid temple
Crossover that adds the Leyak to VotV
sick charm
why is there so many meats in votv even before the players arrive
All of it happens because of meat
brittle comet
finally 100%'d AF
