*IMPORTANT!* Unfortunately I made a mistake in this video; the Shield Lattice blueprint upgrade does not increase from 20% to 50%, it instead increases to 25% as this is an additive stat, not multiplicative.This was an unfortunate oversight on my part, this makes the Shield Lattice far less desirable, I would advise prioritising X-Class Hazard protection in it's place due to these being mostly all-covering and multiplicative, and so their bonuses are worth more.
Yeah, the X-Class hazard protection boosting is crazy. Also, for ships, I like to supercharge the efficient launcher module and on MTs, the scanner module that reduces the recharge times. All of these on Survival/PD runs help reduce those difficulty settings off the max. lol. Thanks for the video!
If you do happen to figure out if boosting the Pulse Engine main module does impact its innate Pulse Drive Power stat, drop a dime. Amazing video btw. Liked & Subbed.
@@FellowSunBro You'll get a massive Maneuverability boost by dropping your Polo figurine on a supercharged slot. I just pushed a Solar Sailor on PS5 to 3528.2 doing this.
@@XainesWorld So, can you answer one question I Have that you may have answered in the video, but maybe I failed to hear you. for each thing (i.e. multi tool, ships, ... etc) which is best to put in the super charged slots? What I mean is, I have seen different people say that for instance its best to put A weapon itself, the shield itself or the movement thing itself on a super charged slot for ships and multitools. Put the craftable or obtainable things around these. I am very confused about all this. I am rather proficient in maths but I don't want to spend hours trying to get the optimum setup. There should be a simple answer to what to put on these slots based on the thing you are working with. Thanks for any answers you might give or point me towards.
Taking notes...... wait..... multiply by the adjacency along with the supercharged stat on one along with the original....... brain broken.... reset...
I actually prioritized certain multitools to certain tasks for these reasons. Currently i have an expiration tool that has huge scan and mining boosts, and another for combat with damage boosts. Hoping to use this guide to optimize those boosts!
As of Waypoint, fuel efficiency and expedition power (to let you use fewer ships to get to 5 stars) are now the most useful stats for frigate expeditions. Duration barely matters at all because you only get 5 expeditions per day and they reroll at the same time.
I supercharged the mining beam with three slots on one of my multi tools and it's almost all I use now. It kills things and mines incredibly fast. The only other thing I have on it's the scanner and terrain manipulator.
After years of using the same ship and multi tool, it’s nice to now have a reason to have, and use different tools for different jobs. Nice, in-depth analysis as always Xaine.
Thanks, Xaine! That’s some seriously in-depth homework you did there. I can’t wait to jump in and start experimenting with a little “applied science”. Cheers!
Thanks. This verified a lot of what I was observing from my own experiments. Great summary of how the math works, and good recommendations on what to use and prioritize.
Hey Xaine, thank you for these helpful tips and recommendations! I'll be looking forward to your insight and opinions for exocraft. On that note, I've been toying around with the exocraft slots myself - I'm really digging the ability to store technology, it's so helpful for messing with the traction upgrades to figure out what I actually want on each vehicle, great quality of life change. Anyway, I haven't looked too deeply into supercharging the exocraft cannons except on the minotaur, mostly because the engine upgrades don't seem to yield noticeable performance boosts, just fuel eco (I could be wrong). The Minotaur cannon can become powerful enough that I'm not sure the stun cannon and laser combo, unless desired for fun reasons, is worth supercharging. As for movement on other exocraft, I've gotten exceptional results from sticking the engine and 2 procedural upgrades in the charged slots, and putting the remaining desired upgrades around the engine or bridging the engine to the next closest charged procedural upgrade. Before I continue, I want to add that I did not find the boost upgrades to be nearly as useful when supercharged, but they remain useful to have installed for acceleration on unfavorable terrain. By excluding only Hi-Slide (for acceleration reasons) from my Nomad, I'm hitting mid-50's across oceans, and somewhere over 100 while airborne on low-atmosphere worlds, I can't tell exactly how fast because of how the game displays exocraft velocity not as true velocity, but speed in the direction the front of the exocraft is facing, and the vehicle tilting upwards probably more than 30°. Exocraft can now move fast enough to, in some cases sooner than others depending on your platform's processing power, outrun the speed of a planet's collision geometry being loaded. For me on PS4, this resulted once in falling to the center of a planet with no ocean, with my coordinates flip-flopping each time I passed the center. On another planet with an ocean, my Nomad fell through, hovered on the subterranean ocean, and loaded me into a cave with a flooded section as the only exit. So um... if you choose to share some of these nuances, please also tell people to use the exocraft's jump button, it should resurface them if they fall below the world geometry. Exocraft are kinda wild now, and I feel much more inclined to use them than I did before the update!
Great info, Xaine! This validated what I had figured out on the ship bonuses myself already, although I didn't know the exact math, and certainly didn't know the bit about the sublight amplifier, so huge thanks for that! And this was very useful for the exosuit stuff and the MTs. I've been configuring a "mining" tool vs my combat tools, so this has been fun! I do still have questions about the adjacency of hazard protection, I'll have to check your older videos, because I seem to remember you covering this before.
Hazard protection is a bit of a game for adjacency, almost all modules give a bonus to others, but half of them don't gain anything from being buffed. I did all my research on that back in January, so ill need to redo a bunch of it soon for specifics
Thank you, Xaine. It might take me 27 times of relistening to specific parts, but This is the information All players will need when it comes to getting a Good ship/tool/suit all set up and rocking. TY, TY, TY!
Thanks to that guide I managed to get more value from my techs and upgrades simply by rearranging stuff. A well presented video is way easier to understand. Thank you a video well done.
Thanks so much! My weapon damage just went from 13K to 19K! I knew I had too much core health. Didn't know about the cap. Recharge is under a second now. wow. Thanks for all the updates!
I have no idea what I'm prioritizing because this game is superseding college level math classes. I guess that's the issues you have when you jump into a game that's 7 years old. All that being said I am having a lot of fun getting my Explorer on. For me this has been a VR masterpiece and exactly what I was looking for
Prioritize a multi-tool and a starship with a 2x2 grid of 4 supercharged slots, all right next to each other. Add neutron cannon w/ near-max S-class modules in the multi-tool’s supercharged slots, and add infra-knife with near-max X-Class modules in the starship’s supercharged slots. Check the subreddits named NMSGlyphExchange and NMSCoordinateExchange to locate the multi-tools and starships. Trust me, well worth it the effort. The damage is teh lulz.
@4:12 it's not rounding up the value of the stat, but rather just rounding down the shown value of the boosted stat to an integer, usually called the floor of a value.
Thank you for this video, it really helped me - I'm a new player and it's kind of overwhelming to try to do all of the math for ALL of my equipment, so you saved me a ton of time (especially with my new S class staff!)
Xaine, i have always thought i was intelligent until i listen to you, and then i feel completely stupid. Thanks for posting your incredibly valuable work. 👏🏻
13:33 Since this video was uploaded there have been multitudes of bases which have sprung up around the building where this alien multitool is obtainable. I got one today, but had to spend over an hour walking around because it is impossible to land anywhere near it, even with my micro sentinel ship. I already had one of these tools, bought by accident before I knew what I was doing, and it had none of the pink bits. I renamed that one "Hornus". Because the new one has got the pink crystals I renamed it "Hornita".
crazy i did exactly as you recommend but long before your video came out :) I recommend having a spaceship explorer type and using all the spaceship supercharged for the hiperdrive a / b / s modules !
Any idea what the value of supercharging the ship's infra-knife Q-resonator is? It says it increases total cannon count to 4, but the DPS shown in the infra-knife does show a doubling of DPS.
I was hoping for discussion of hazard shield modules, and how supercharged slots affect those. As a practical matter, I rarely devote space to anything but a single hazard shield of each type (including underwater). The C-class modules have trivial bonuses. The X-class bonuses vary widely, but are capped at 10%. That's still pretty low, even if it can apply to 4 of the 5 hazards.
I did cover how they are affected in this, but in the sense of the basic bonus types, so hazard protection x-class modules are multiplicative, so a supercharged slot will add 25% to each buff, so a hazard prot of 10%, is actually 1.1, this is then multiplied by 1.25 for 1.375, rounded up to 1.38 visual, so a perfect 10 would go to 38%, though a 10 may be a rounded up 9.1, so a 9.1 would show as 37% after supercharged
I just started playing NMS. Liked and subbed, so much good info here! I had no idea that the supercharge slot would link! Look forward to learning more.
I recommend prioritizing supercharged slots on starships as follows: 1. Infra-Knife Accelerator 2. Infra-Knife Accelerator 3. Infra-Knife Accelerator 4. Infra-Knife Accelerator Shields. Hulls. Pirates. Sentinels. A well-supercharged Infra-Knife Accelerator makes short work of them all.
@thedeekabides Vader's comment 'no disintegrations" comes to mind. Mine sits at 45k unshielded and 29k shielded. Caution required during pirate fights and asteroid mining as the npc ships LOVE flying infront of you.
thanks, major thing i learned here is boosting main module actually does something. In-game when you boost a main module like a gun, it doesn't show any stat increases so i assumed it did nothing. now i need to adjust all my stuff on my ships/multitool to try this out
Awesome video and you really did you're homework, unfortunately maybe I shouldn't have watched this when I just woke up. Definitely need a window licker version this early in the morning.
Thank you for the great guide! Supercharging pulse power is really smart, i completely forgot about that. It shrinks 28sec flight to 20sec! Hovewer, I have some questions: 1) I have 2 same (refiner-duped) X class pulse modules in two adjacent SCS. hovewer, putting a core pulse drive on one's side yields more total maneurability than the other's. Swapping these modules keeps the picture same position-wise, as if one SCS is a bit stronger than the other. I know the explanation is messy, so i have screenshots for clarity, but i seem to be unable to post a link in the comment 2) In my field testing for 2 SCS core jetpack + X class module yields more raw airtime than 2 X class modules. But if use only 1 SCS, putting the X class module yields more airtime than putting a core jetpack there. 3) You advise surrounding Sub-light Amplifier with other Greater modules, eventhough they dont have same stat. Does that mean that two modules not sharing the same stat is irrelevant for maximizing adjacency bonuses?
1. Something must be up, as you're saying they are both identical modules. It could maybe be in the way that it's calculated based on order of modules by slot, as maneuverability is a tough one, as it's a combination of 2 different maneuverability stats, one of which is hidden on the procedural upgrades. But that seems unlikely. You could post the images to me on discord if you're down, I'd be curious to checkem out. 2. Jetpack tanks when I researched all stats in January was one of the more tough to measure as other things like initial boost power can make the line difficult to find when measuring. 3. With adjacency, the stats don't have to match, think of it like the module is gaining a boost to its stats based on whether the adjacent modules are lesser or greater as well as the same type and nothing else. Once a lesser or greater bonus is known, the stat will then get one bonus if it's additive, another if it's multiplicative or no bonus if it's reductive
I play on PS5 and I have noticed, and have tested this a few times, then when you compare ships and it shows an uncovered supercharged slot, when you acquire the ship it does not have the supercharge slot in the same spot
Great video, great info as always. One question, what's the benefit to boosting frigate mission speed when you're limited to 5 per day regardless? Unless they changed that and I missed it.
Thank you! And it largely depends on your situation, if you have a really established fleet, you can send all 5 out with 5 stars no worries, otherwise you may wish to stagger them and speeding up will make it easier. You may also play over the midnight line. Really I could have gone into more detail in the video.
At your given location I actually found the A class version of the weapon, and a marker or base called “Alien Gun”. I did however find the S class version at -40.06 / +145.31 at an outpost with a save beacon. Thanks!
I just noticed for example fidling infra knife with different slots around a supercharged slot makes a huge difference. Also putting the main researched items in the supercharged slots makes a huge difference. And also putting them next to each other is a must.
As always, some deep in-depth guidage ( if thats a word ). Thanks Dude. Im sure i have all my stuff set up wrong so now I can go thru and move stuff about and make my saves more ........super ( u see what i did there ?) As for searching for multiple S class multi tool cabinets to find a desired super charged layout, well, ill leave that to the nut cases. I have a kiwi in mind for that. I think any i find will be the only one, since they are hard enough to find in the first place :)
I keep coming back to this video, amazing content Xaine! Regarding the neural stimulator mine has the 4 stats you mentioned as priority, not sure if they changed it from 3 recently.
This has mostly made me understand, that I don't understand adjacency bonus... I'll have to check your channel for that explenation, hope it's in there
the ifra knife's mod, Q-something, that adds a barrel, adds 2 extra barrels in a soup slot making 4, idk if it's actually adding another projectile but that seems to be (on paper) a great idea..
This really helps! Returning player after I rage-quit in November '22, when feeling completely wrecked by the changes. Supercharged Slots on the ExoSuit feel very challenging to get right. I spend many hours a day opening X-class "Movement" type upgrades to find the perfect one(s). Still have that "Initial Boost" bug in that it shoots me up and then drops me down again by roughly that amount. Definitely don't want to boost that one and it has to roll a stupidly low % on the X-modules. Hazard Protection now this one is interesting, but could do with a guide on what and how to group them. I've read that having 3 S-class "tank mods" per damage type grouped around their respective 21% protection v. X is the way to go. So that it looks like 4x4 modules in total. Now here's the question: What's the cap on hazard damage protection (or reduction rather)? Would try and use a stopwatch on a Derelict Freighter, but they do crash my game at this time. Only using the BoltCaster on all MTs so if there's a guide that would help. Using the Infra-Knife (core) which adds 1 additional cannon, but the DPS number does not increase. Anyone know what's up with that? And lastly, why can't we have a detailed page in game with all stat totals and by how much we overcap certain stats? I wouldn't have guessed that shields or health have a hard cap if not for this video!
Apologies if this has been mentioned previously. What about the MT Super slots that change positions between first view and "Compare"? And then, after purchase, they simply disappear. Also, Super slots that disappear on an exotic ship after purchasing. Can be reproduced at will on my current save file. I have an email prepared if you would like to receive it that shows the moved Super slots on a MT.
12:15 Adjacent Supercharged Slots. I tried moving things around a bit and I noticed the 4 sides immediately Adjacent to a Supercharged Slot have a similar multiplier effect although I have yet to find the Multi-tool with the Slot Block. Can the Supercharged Slots be moved?
In my experiments, I found that putting the mining beam itself in a supercharged slot increases yield by 35%. Putting the optical drill in a supercharged slot also increases yield by 35%. Putting them both in adjacent supercharged slots increases yield by 75%. This makes a huge difference when farming runaway mould. My 32-ball mould farm now yields 37,191 mould instead of just 21,260.
I think this is important but my brain hurts, will have to come back and watch again I think. Thanks for the upload though, tis is something I need to understand but will have to go one by one when it counts. cheers
I have an A-class freighter, and my supercharged slots weren't where you showed. I only had 1 of four there, the other three were normal slots in those locations.
Very helpful, but I had figure it our mostly. What I prioritized mostly is depending on the superchargd slots layout. If for instance, I have 4 slots one next to another like this is the case for one of my sentinel ship. I will usually take a least 3 just for the weapon system and another one for ship pulse engine, or maneuovrability. Also I tested using the 4 supercharged for Infra knife main module and upgrade, and this is insane, I got like think over 93 000 peak damage... at that rate, you are melting ships in no time! But also, I like putting the pulse engine craftable upgrade, that give your ship manoeuvrability and the ability to slide like a pirate ship, it says... when boosted in supercharged, you ship will respond excessively quick to turn and just be really fun play with, but man this remove all stability to your driving, essentially making your ship a big rallly car on a hard turn drifting and being deported very far from where you originaly planned to be, but can also turn 180 in a heart beat. I knid of like it, you just have to calculate your trajectory according to it, but the worst is when you are accustomed to normal ship and enter a planet atmosphere to land... normal ship, just go straight and you are fine, but with that drifting boosted, make sure to take a long nice decend to the surface because you will hit it lol. It does not make you crash though, just a tiny bit of damage on your shield!
Infra Knife, Q-Resonator this particular module doesn't behave as I expect when supercharged any insights into this? in base form, it sets projectiles fired to 3. supercharged that number is 4 so theoretically, supercharging that single module should produce a 33% increase in DPS but this is not what gets displayed by the DPS calculator ingame.... so something else is up
This data you have put together is fantastic and very appreciated. Have you explored how these systems interact with multiplayer PVP applications in regard to the MT weapons and ship combat? I've been doing some tests and getting wacky results...
Maybe yall can help me with multitools. Can you have more than one and swap it on the fly from your inventory? Also if youre hunting for multitools how does it work? Each cabinet will have the same looking tool? And the class will be the same? And the color is based off of where you last saved or something?
I highly disagree with sprint being desirable on the jetpacks considering that you’re getting sprint from the forbiden technologies. Other than that, thank you for the fantastic video! It surely has and will continue to help a lot of people.
I haven't played for a while, this new addition to supercharged slots is just a good thing. Anyway, I really needed some advice on how to use them better, thanks.
*IMPORTANT!* Unfortunately I made a mistake in this video; the Shield Lattice blueprint upgrade does not increase from 20% to 50%, it instead increases to 25% as this is an additive stat, not multiplicative.This was an unfortunate oversight on my part, this makes the Shield Lattice far less desirable, I would advise prioritising X-Class Hazard protection in it's place due to these being mostly all-covering and multiplicative, and so their bonuses are worth more.

I tested boosting the pulse drive power and it made no noticeable difference.
Algorithm comment. This is going to take some rewatching to get settled in my brain.
@@FellowSunBro You'll get a massive Maneuverability boost by dropping your Polo figurine on a supercharged slot. I just pushed a Solar Sailor on PS5 to 3528.2 doing this.
I refer to this guide all the time. Thank you for all your hard work and for being such a great No Mans Sky content creator!
Wow thank you Joe, that's incredibly kind of you!
I haven’t been this excited about slots since my early adolescence
Giggity

How sure are you that expedition speed doesn’t lessen the fuel required? (Or, in a real life equivalency, it would likely increase fuel usage 😂)
These supercharged slots have made me the Juggernaut of the Calypso galaxy. The Vy'Keen praise me, they compare me to their hero Hurk.

You're doing the Atlas's work
After years of using the same ship and multi tool, it’s nice to now have a reason to have, and use different tools for different jobs.
Nice, in-depth analysis as always Xaine.
@SNTKI do you have a link? Tried searching but see nothing on this.
Hugely informative and a massive help, thanks. Now to re-watch it many times or find a supercharged slot for my brain!
Thanks very informative. Just picking up NMS again after many years. Much better than the 2017 era now.
Thanks, Xaine! That’s some seriously in-depth homework you did there. I can’t wait to jump in and start experimenting with a little “applied science”. Cheers!

I have come back to this guide numerous times now. Thanks very much for all the work put into it.

Just a heads up, the alien MT has changed from s-class to a-class in a recent update. It also only has one SC slot.
Came to the comments to see if anyone shared in my plight
This needs to get pushed to the top lol. I just found the a class trash.
I have the alien rifle Austintatious found it is awsome. My damage potential has been between 30,000 and 45,000 depending on gun type.
Excellent guide, as always. Thanks Xaine!
This guide was absolutelly excelent, and the image plans in it are a master stroke. Thanks for the good work!

Wonderful video Xaine. I’m freshly back to NMS after about a year absence. I’ve a lot to learn.
1:00 note that sentinel interceptors can have varying slot locations among the same model. They seem to cycle between a few supercharge layouts
The mining drill was the most difficult for me to figure out. So many different moving parts! Thanks for making this so easily digestible

A little late to this video but I always love your in depth guides. Thanks for all the work you put into these!
Exemplary work Xaine, awesome level of research and dedication, many thanks.
@4:12 it's not rounding up the value of the stat, but rather just rounding down the shown value of the boosted stat to an integer, usually called the floor of a value.

I did cover how they are affected in this, but in the sense of the basic bonus types, so hazard protection x-class modules are multiplicative, so a supercharged slot will add 25% to each buff, so a hazard prot of 10%, is actually 1.1, this is then multiplied by 1.25 for 1.375, rounded up to 1.38 visual, so a perfect 10 would go to 38%, though a 10 may be a rounded up 9.1, so a 9.1 would show as 37% after supercharged
I just started playing NMS. Liked and subbed, so much good info here! I had no idea that the supercharge slot would link! Look forward to learning more.
Welcome to the community Jim!
@@XainesWorld Sweet, Ill join today! :D

Man. I’ve been playing this all wrong. Thank you. Now I know why my fights with sentinels are so tough.
Not all heros wear capes. Thank you very much for this breakdown!
I recommend prioritizing supercharged slots on starships as follows:
1. Infra-Knife Accelerator
2. Infra-Knife Accelerator
3. Infra-Knife Accelerator
4. Infra-Knife Accelerator
Shields. Hulls. Pirates. Sentinels. A well-supercharged Infra-Knife Accelerator makes short work of them all.
My DPS supercharged is 25k before module upgrades.
I have 3 S-Class and one B-Class blueprint. It’s ridiculous how fast it melts ships.
@thedeekabides Vader's comment 'no disintegrations" comes to mind. Mine sits at 45k unshielded and 29k shielded. Caution required during pirate fights and asteroid mining as the npc ships LOVE flying infront of you.
thanks, major thing i learned here is boosting main module actually does something. In-game when you boost a main module like a gun, it doesn't show any stat increases so i assumed it did nothing. now i need to adjust all my stuff on my ships/multitool to try this out
You had my subscription at "Supercharged slots" lol - thank you for cutting right to the chase.
Awesome video and you really did you're homework, unfortunately maybe I shouldn't have watched this when I just woke up. Definitely need a window licker version this early in the morning.
Thank you for the great guide! Supercharging pulse power is really smart, i completely forgot about that. It shrinks 28sec flight to 20sec!
Hovewer, I have some questions:
1) I have 2 same (refiner-duped) X class pulse modules in two adjacent SCS. hovewer, putting a core pulse drive on one's side yields more total maneurability than the other's. Swapping these modules keeps the picture same position-wise, as if one SCS is a bit stronger than the other. I know the explanation is messy, so i have screenshots for clarity, but i seem to be unable to post a link in the comment
2) In my field testing for 2 SCS core jetpack + X class module yields more raw airtime than 2 X class modules. But if use only 1 SCS, putting the X class module yields more airtime than putting a core jetpack there.
3) You advise surrounding Sub-light Amplifier with other Greater modules, eventhough they dont have same stat. Does that mean that two modules not sharing the same stat is irrelevant for maximizing adjacency bonuses?
1. Something must be up, as you're saying they are both identical modules. It could maybe be in the way that it's calculated based on order of modules by slot, as maneuverability is a tough one, as it's a combination of 2 different maneuverability stats, one of which is hidden on the procedural upgrades. But that seems unlikely.
You could post the images to me on discord if you're down, I'd be curious to checkem out.
2. Jetpack tanks when I researched all stats in January was one of the more tough to measure as other things like initial boost power can make the line difficult to find when measuring.
3. With adjacency, the stats don't have to match, think of it like the module is gaining a boost to its stats based on whether the adjacent modules are lesser or greater as well as the same type and nothing else.
Once a lesser or greater bonus is known, the stat will then get one bonus if it's additive, another if it's multiplicative or no bonus if it's reductive
phenomenal guide. thanks
Wow, thank you so much for the information. This is awesome. Keep up the good work.
I play on PS5 and I have noticed, and have tested this a few times, then when you compare ships and it shows an uncovered supercharged slot, when you acquire the ship it does not have the supercharge slot in the same spot
damn this is the best guide I ever read, we all know the basic and are looking for details and a bit more explanations!
Aaaw thank you!
Great video, great info as always. One question, what's the benefit to boosting frigate mission speed when you're limited to 5 per day regardless? Unless they changed that and I missed it.
Thank you!
And it largely depends on your situation, if you have a really established fleet, you can send all 5 out with 5 stars no worries, otherwise you may wish to stagger them and speeding up will make it easier.
You may also play over the midnight line.
Really I could have gone into more detail in the video.
At your given location I actually found the A class version of the weapon, and a marker or base called “Alien Gun”. I did however find the S class version at -40.06 / +145.31 at an outpost with a save beacon. Thanks!
I just noticed for example fidling infra knife with different slots around a supercharged slot makes a huge difference. Also putting the main researched items in the supercharged slots makes a huge difference. And also putting them next to each other is a must.
As always, some deep in-depth guidage ( if thats a word ). Thanks Dude. Im sure i have all my stuff set up wrong so now I can go thru and move stuff about and make my saves more ........super ( u see what i did there ?) As for searching for multiple S class multi tool cabinets to find a desired super charged layout, well, ill leave that to the nut cases. I have a kiwi in mind for that. I think any i find will be the only one, since they are hard enough to find in the first place :)
I keep coming back to this video, amazing content Xaine! Regarding the neural stimulator mine has the 4 stats you mentioned as priority, not sure if they changed it from 3 recently.
This has mostly made me understand, that I don't understand adjacency bonus... I'll have to check your channel for that explenation, hope it's in there
I would love to see your suggestion for the layout of exosuit mods. Great, informative, helpful video!
Definitely incoming, working on starships first, exosuit hopefully not long after :)
@@XainesWorld Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to read my comment!
As usual awesome guide, thanks dude!
best explanation for super charged slots. Thanks!
the ifra knife's mod, Q-something, that adds a barrel, adds 2 extra barrels in a soup slot making 4, idk if it's actually adding another projectile but that seems to be (on paper) a great idea..
What an excellent video and good editing. Thanks and keep it up-
Thank you Hyper
This really helps!
Returning player after I rage-quit in November '22, when feeling completely wrecked by the changes.
Supercharged Slots on the ExoSuit feel very challenging to get right.
I spend many hours a day opening X-class "Movement" type upgrades to find the perfect one(s).
Still have that "Initial Boost" bug in that it shoots me up and then drops me down again by roughly that amount.
Definitely don't want to boost that one and it has to roll a stupidly low % on the X-modules.
Hazard Protection now this one is interesting, but could do with a guide on what and how to group them.
I've read that having 3 S-class "tank mods" per damage type grouped around their respective 21% protection v. X is the way to go.
So that it looks like 4x4 modules in total.
Now here's the question:
What's the cap on hazard damage protection (or reduction rather)?
Would try and use a stopwatch on a Derelict Freighter, but they do crash my game at this time.
Only using the BoltCaster on all MTs so if there's a guide that would help.
Using the Infra-Knife (core) which adds 1 additional cannon, but the DPS number does not increase.
Anyone know what's up with that?
And lastly, why can't we have a detailed page in game with all stat totals and by how much we overcap certain stats?
I wouldn't have guessed that shields or health have a hard cap if not for this video!
Thanks for the comprehensive guide, it was really helpful!
Thank you so much for this, time to play inventory tetris again
Thanks for this - exactly what I was looking 4
Apologies if this has been mentioned previously.
What about the MT Super slots that change positions between first view and "Compare"? And then, after purchase, they simply disappear.
Also, Super slots that disappear on an exotic ship after purchasing. Can be reproduced at will on my current save file.
I have an email prepared if you would like to receive it that shows the moved Super slots on a MT.
thank you, this was very helpful
Looks like Hunting's back on the menu, boys!
12:15 Adjacent Supercharged Slots. I tried moving things around a bit and I noticed the 4 sides immediately Adjacent to a Supercharged Slot have a similar multiplier effect although I have yet to find the Multi-tool with the Slot Block. Can the Supercharged Slots be moved?
Its not "super long"... this guide is awesome!
Most of the Video is explaining additive and multiplicative buffing. If you familiar skip to 7:38
Great info! Thanks for the incredibly useful video!
In my experiments, I found that putting the mining beam itself in a supercharged slot increases yield by 35%. Putting the optical drill in a supercharged slot also increases yield by 35%. Putting them both in adjacent supercharged slots increases yield by 75%. This makes a huge difference when farming runaway mould. My 32-ball mould farm now yields 37,191 mould instead of just 21,260.
3 weeks of playing, and this has become useful to me. Minmaxing whee!
I think this is important but my brain hurts, will have to come back and watch again I think. Thanks for the upload though, tis is something I need to understand but will have to go one by one when it counts. cheers
I have an A-class freighter, and my supercharged slots weren't where you showed. I only had 1 of four there, the other three were normal slots in those locations.
Fantastic - this has puzzled me, thank you so much
Damn, I didn't know you can boost the core modules too. Great job
As always very informative thank you!
This is an amazing video, great work
Very helpful, but I had figure it our mostly. What I prioritized mostly is depending on the superchargd slots layout. If for instance, I have 4 slots one next to another like this is the case for one of my sentinel ship. I will usually take a least 3 just for the weapon system and another one for ship pulse engine, or maneuovrability. Also I tested using the 4 supercharged for Infra knife main module and upgrade, and this is insane, I got like think over 93 000 peak damage... at that rate, you are melting ships in no time! But also, I like putting the pulse engine craftable upgrade, that give your ship manoeuvrability and the ability to slide like a pirate ship, it says... when boosted in supercharged, you ship will respond excessively quick to turn and just be really fun play with, but man this remove all stability to your driving, essentially making your ship a big rallly car on a hard turn drifting and being deported very far from where you originaly planned to be, but can also turn 180 in a heart beat. I knid of like it, you just have to calculate your trajectory according to it, but the worst is when you are accustomed to normal ship and enter a planet atmosphere to land... normal ship, just go straight and you are fine, but with that drifting boosted, make sure to take a long nice decend to the surface because you will hit it lol. It does not make you crash though, just a tiny bit of damage on your shield!
U rock, like the way your mind works. Appreciate you
Awesome description, thanks!
Infra Knife, Q-Resonator
this particular module doesn't behave as I expect when supercharged
any insights into this?
in base form, it sets projectiles fired to 3. supercharged that number is 4
so theoretically, supercharging that single module should produce a 33% increase in DPS
but this is not what gets displayed by the DPS calculator ingame.... so something else is up
What a great video!!! Thank you!
This data you have put together is fantastic and very appreciated. Have you explored how these systems interact with multiplayer PVP applications in regard to the MT weapons and ship combat? I've been doing some tests and getting wacky results...
Maybe yall can help me with multitools. Can you have more than one and swap it on the fly from your inventory? Also if youre hunting for multitools how does it work? Each cabinet will have the same looking tool? And the class will be the same? And the color is based off of where you last saved or something?
I highly disagree with sprint being desirable on the jetpacks considering that you’re getting sprint from the forbiden technologies.
Other than that, thank you for the fantastic video! It surely has and will continue to help a lot of people.
I haven't played for a while, this new addition to supercharged slots is just a good thing. Anyway, I really needed some advice on how to use them better, thanks.
Swishadelphia broski! Thanks for the guide man, great stuff
