You do know how long that takes though, right? At the start I was around 716500 LY from the center. The fastest way to the core is through black holes. I went through one and it brought me 500 LY closer. Now maybe this is upgradeable with warp drives and so on. Also, not every system has a black hole and you have to go through a certain process to unlock the next one.
So if you do the maths and consider that each black hole jump takes just one minute of loading time (it takes longer for me but maybe an ssd and faster cpu changes things) youāre looking at 24 hours of just loading time alone. Then you need to get warp cells for all the jumps and the material or units for themā¦ Soooo, yeah.
Iām surprised at how little attention house of the dying sun has gotten here! itās really good! Iām looking forward to playing it when my egpu arrives today!
there are stargate-esque portals that youāll come across during the main storyline. you can eventually learn 16 portal glyphs that you can input to create a portal to anywhere (the glyphs translate to those hexadecimal coordinates any signal booster shows you.) this seems to be the preferred way to reach player civilizations and what-have-you, tho i havenāt personally messed with them much
I am just at that point in the story but havenāt gone through yet! Iāll see how far/where that takes me. This might be new since some update or other, I think it wasnāt in the original release and black holes were the fastest way thenā¦
About the thing you mentioned though:
Doesnāt that take you to a whole different universe? Iāve been through one portal but it wasnāt the one with the many glyphs you have to charge up, thatās the second one. And all the quests from that place have a red swirl symbol next to them. So I feel like thatās like the nether from minecraft. A sort of mirror world. I donāt know if you can reach the galactic core from that place and if itās different from the other galactic core or what. Iāll have a look on the galaxy map next time I play
i think you can only access other galaxies thru reaching the center. i think that red icon just means the quest target is in another system. it should give you the option to restart the quest in your current system (so you donāt have to figure out how to travel thousands of lightyears to do a base building quest you were putting off)
I actually have a lot of quests from other systems but they donāt have that symbol. Only the three quests from when I went through the portal do. So, idk.
Havenāt gone back to the game yet but Iāll keep you updated on this mystery when I find out more.
what, no. It says on the Steam page that it does have a singleplayer campaign. With āvideo sequencesā and all. I like what I saw in the trailer so Iāll definitely check it out for the singleplayer
It was on PS Plus a while back and the narrative parts should be skipped instantly. Canāt say about mission design because I hit eject before I got out of simplistic tutorial missions.
That doesnāt sound like you have it a fair shot. But then, videogames donāt deserve that anyway. If you feel like you want to quit you should quit, no matter how much or how little time you invested. I can dig that.
I play a lot of games but very few more than half an hour; I need the breadth and have to hope Iām able to predict where things are going from a quick bite.
yeah, I regret going for the āfull experienceā in Subnautica instead of choosing the mode where you donāt have to eat and drink (everything else stays the same). These two survival elements do nothing except slow down the game because you have to fill up those gauges every now and then.
Iād like survival mechanics that actually speed up the game. So, if you do a certain thing regularly you can do the other work youāre doing faster, or you become stronger, something like that.
Or at least let me progress to a point where I donāt have to care about it. Like if you have a certain number of cured meats and water available in your home base you just eat them automatically when youāre out and about and donāt have to worry about it anymore. The race to that could be interesting and then youāre freed up for the rest of the game and can concentrate on the fun parts.
spoilers about getting to the galactic core follow
So I went to a black hole in the universe that seems like another dimension to me. There the black hole took me 6000 LY closer to the core, as opposed to 500. The āalternate dimensionā is itself 5000 LY closer to the core than where I started the game. But I still donāt know if it really is an alternate dimension or if the red swirls mean something else. I googled it just now and I canāt find any info on it. I just thought of this being an indicator of the color of the sun where that quest is, though. Which is weird because I think you need a special drive to go to red sun systems. But then, I warped there through a portal, so maybe thatās it after all!
Either way, Iām done with this game. I tried to get back into it today but all the story quests have advanced to a point where following them is just tremendous tedium and not fun at all. You just go from A to B. Sometimes you talk to a character. Then you go from B to C. Itās just endless monotony. Plus, the story suck too in my opinion. I was following it to see cool stuff but itās become apparent that there just isnāt any apart from what Iāve already seen.
I played this game for 25 hours, so I enjoyed it up to a point. But now itās time for other games again.
