Is this from the same Devs that made NeoScavenger? It reminds me allot of that AWESOME game! I know I said it last video, but thank you SOOOO much for this series! This game has such a high learning curve that tutorials like this are almost necessary (unless you read the entire manual) and who does that, right?!? LOL
@@mochad Yeah, that's what I thought (about being the same Dev's), but I didn't know it was the same "World". That's trippy! It'd be really cool to be able to take your Neo Scavenger character up to the station and buy a ship! LOL
love the series, especialy that you're correcting your own mistakes on the fly. that feels realy rare and authentic and sweet. thanks for the work you put in to this.
you can right click a stack (so conduit, wall, floor in one square is a "stack") and LEFT click the icons in the top right to directly select an item, instead of repeatedly right clicking...this can more efficient with huge stacks. A big space saver early on is that the pressure suit has a "clip point" pocket. Usually used for tools and the like, it is a "larger pocket". You can put the work light and the suits own helmet on the clip point, then the suit takes up ONE square in the backpack. You will pretty much never need the helmet without the suit on, so losing track of it being nested two inventories deep is a non-issue. In conversation you slowly learn their traits and that can let you use "special conversational 'moves' ". They dont do much for now and only really come into play when you have to sweet-talk your way into the blackmarket contact's trust (or make them fear you). Conversation is JANK AF, they are shoehorning in a bizzare mechanic into a system already solved by other games. It will give them a lot of modability and whatnot, but it can be a struggle to use. Favorite first-ship is The Dream. Great choice.
Appreciate the comments! I do my best to keep my playthrough consistent, but Ostranauts sometimes has a different plan for me. :P I've had to depart from the "play along with me" mindset with this one, more than I like. My goal is to provide a good amount of "why" along with the "how."
Thanks so much for the kind words. I'd love to be in a position one day where I have to make some hard decisions about how to progress my channel. Time will tell!
Surprised you didn't get a backpack here with your funding, but it's something you could get later and compare/contrast the other personal storage items shown in the tutorial so far (tote, toolbox)
your game looks better than mine lol it still looks awful but mine is dark with yours i can at least make out whats what. I think im going to watch a few more episodes before I try to fly the ship again, my first outing was a bit of a disaster :)
There is no autotracking that I'm aware of. The ship only moves in 2 dimensions, so all you have are thrust (W/S), left/right (A/D), and rotation clock/counterclock (Q/E). Really you use these to get a bearing. I start covering that in the next vid.
I'm not sure what ship you're referring to from the first video--that video was strictly about character creation. In the creation process, there was an event that included a ship, but I didn't select it. But, as I recall, we never leave the starting room in that video.
Yep. Well, it's shift is, anyway. You'd be surprised how many people don't know that, though. :) And, I had a laptop (Samsung, I think?) that had it over on the right side of the keyboard.
picked this game up in the current steam sale and man your tutorial helps so much. good job

It is the same developer as NeoScavenger. In fact, it's technically the same world!

This has been a great help for me learning to play this game, thank you again!
You're welcome! Please consider subscribing. I'm intending to start some videos on .14 this week.
@@mochad I subscribed 5 minutes into the first video in the series, I was pretty much lost before I started watching your stuff!

Thank you for finding time to make this useful series.
great video very informative while also keeping on track and at a good pace. thanks
Nice Job! You can pay your fees by clicking the green funds box on the top of the screen.
Enjoying the videos. Ship was a buzz kill since i was playing along and you suddenly had a different ship from your last video.

This game is extremely different for a play along since everything is randomized so much.
I was unable tto locate a larger backpack at the station. Is it random?
Really hope with such good content your channel grows quickly and more subscribe.
Thanks so much for the kind words. I'd love to be in a position one day where I have to make some hard decisions about how to progress my channel. Time will tell!
My character joined the core. Learned melee and armed combat.. sooo i think I'm good
nice guide 👍

Very useful playlist....thanks
your game looks better than mine lol it still looks awful but mine is dark with yours i can at least make out whats what.

I can't recall for sure, but I think F1 turns off the lighting fog of war, which is (well...was) experimental when I made this.
the ship controls are impossible is there auto tracking or something

Oh so that's how I refuel😭
nice tutorial, thanks!
how did you get that ship thats not the one that was in your first video?

@@mochad ah i see, I was like where the heck did he get that ship? its so much nicer than mine lol. I got the little tug, it was cheap
I am still confused though cuz i found that model out in the void and the salvaged version of it is worth over a million
i just keep dying, that is y i am here lol
It gets better. There is some grind, but once you get the basics, it should click, and you'll be a pro in no time!
key above Tab is called "tilde"
Yep. Well, it's shift is, anyway. You'd be surprised how many people don't know that, though. :) And, I had a laptop (Samsung, I think?) that had it over on the right side of the keyboard.
The dev must remove the pixelated thing. It sux
