So I shall pay forward the help you've given me, and give a little nugget to the other people here. For those playing on keyboard and mouse, you can actually get a strong horizontal boost from your boost pack, but the option is tucked away in the settings. If you go to your keybinds, you'll see that you have two columns for your actions. One of the columns says "Alt Key." If you go down to jump, you'll see that space bar is in the left column, where as the right one is blank, assign a different key here (or even make it space bar) and when you use that key you'll get a strong horizontal boost with your jumps which is even better if you sprint before you jump. Sadly, this doesn't work on controller, it seems that if the game detects and analog stick movement then trying to press the key on your keyboard while moving with your controller stuck, it just uses the standard boost pack movement. This means you can't use something like REWASD to bind the keyboard press to a button on your controller. Maybe someone could put together a steam controller layout for it?
An Easter egg I found was on a random planet. On one of the small colonies, a colenest said, spoiler: I used to be an explorer like you, then I took... never mind, it's a long story.
@@xxxsimpai No problem, any time friend. I'd work on choosing your words more carefully next time so you don't give off the vibe of being clueless. See that's a vibe, something you feels true but may not be. This is an actual direct reference. 😉
Got another tip for ya; One day on Bessel 3-B takes 57 Earth days. This means if you place resource miners on the planet (it's possible to make an outpost with access to Aluminum, Iron, Cobalt, AND Nickel), then sleep for an hour, you'll get around 57 times the "normal" amount of each resource. Enjoy!
The nirnroot "code" is definitely a texture mismatch; looks like a decal sheet used on the surrounding environment. You can see the diamond tread pattern and the slatted vents that are right beside the plant on that sheet.
Don’t sell survey data at any vendor. At least if you want max credit sell them to Valdmir at the eye. He’s buy the data for higher price then any other vendor. You just have to talk to him and pick the last option and he talks about scanning planets then you’ll be able to turn your data to him for max credits
I have a feeling that the "Book" was an accidental oversight from Bethesda and wasn't supposed to be in the final version of the game. It was probably them testing the book user interface, making sure every letter and number shows up correctly. The chapter 1 was likely the same but to test if the heading worked.
It probably is the "base" for the other books, but consider the "lore". This is a sci-fi setting. These are not expensive leather parchment or paper pages like in an Elder Scroll or Fallout for that matter. This is cheap, mass-produced hardware. Someone in universe could have been just testing it and never came around to actually use it.
@@Safetytrousers Right, but it's certainly not a bad idea to use shielded cargo and jammers. It could be that you forget you have some contraband in storage and then jump to a system that scans your ship and you get caught with it. The best way to deal with it though is to go to a star system that doesn't scan ships or dock with a star station that has a Trade Authority vendor in it as soon as you get the contraband.
The best way where you don't get caught is easy. 1. Go to any non settlement planet where you won't be scanned. 2. Drop the contraband on the ship's ground. 3. Walk out of.the ship onto the planet. 4. Fast travel to a settlement. 5. Go back to the ship and pick the contraband up. 6. Sell it.
You know it's a good bethesda game when within one week of release the internet has alredy cross tested every toilet paper of the milky way in the name of science.
Nirnroot texture is a mistakenly applied User Interface Texture. (your Hud, for example. in this case it could even be a UI for ingame computer systems all the way down to a small screen for a soda machine, who knows.) I would assume it missed QA due to its size and exceeding rarity as an object in the game.
Toilet role should face different ways depending on if you have pets or kids that might play with. One way just gives the best access but it makes it more inviting for pets to play with it.
Outstanding video. Honestly, I haven't seen any Starfield content that has me more interested to see more than this video right here. I cannot wait to see what you and the viewers uncover about the Book and the Nirnroot mysteries. A+ content right here.
The plant does indeed look like a UV map. Almost looks like a UV map for a weapons magazine. It even has a 00 / 00 counter on it and then dots for ammo placement.
The root appears to be a map outlining a specific star system based on the number of circles around a larger circle and the number of gas giants. Further more it seems to indicate a specific planet in that system and icons which represent terra map markers you typically find. Has to be a treasure map.
Weapons and gear have prefixes that denote base damage/protection. With the dame mods, a higher tier weapon will always have higher damage than a lower one. I have found: None-calibrated-advanced-refined-superior This is in addition to prefixes like "commander's or "assassin's", which tells you what preinstalled mods it has, and on colored nameplate weapons things like "berserker" which tells you about a trait that the weapon has as an extra bonus irrespective of mods
I was able to sell the illegal contraband to the party ship. People in space just having a grand time. If you do get them to pop up then join them if possible. You can also pull all of your items from your ship or people on your ship. Mainly because they ask if you want the party in 0G. Which allows you to move freely. Once inside you may need to speak to someone for that interaction. After that they tell you that the person down stairs is the one handing out drinks. Mind you there are a few items on the ship listed as "Owned" but most all drinks aren't. Anyways. Go down a floor and to the end with what looks like a DJ? The only person behind the table. They will purchase Illegal Contraband as well as stolen goods.
The Book book looks like a test object to me, testing the font or the text format used by books but not using the quick brown fox line, just every letter and number. Then since it was made may as well use it in the game. Books and notes in Bethesda games are not a different texture for each page but an html overlay with the paper texture as the background so it takes very little to make them but important to get the font and format right.
I found 2 more books called book at the clinic. So a total of 3 so far. Immediately after boarding the clinic take an immediate right ( basically behind the trade authority kiosk) and in the center locker should be 2 more of the exact same, chapter 1 ,A-Z, 1-0, book called book!
Finally getting into the Starfield content here on youtube after sinking in my first 100 hours. I've loved your Skyrim content for years now, and I'm so happy to see this level of content on Starfield now, I'll definitely be keeping up with your Starfield content from here on out, keep up the great work.
I was shooting some asteroids last night and made the mistake of accidentally shooting the loot and it just kept going and going further away from me so I gave up chasing it lol
The "book'" item screams placeholder to me, like someone missed it unintentionally. I don't know whether or not that makes any sense; maybe someone got lazy, and went "oh Hell, whatever," and just slapped down a generic "Book" in this spot in particular, perhaps at the end of a 12-hour crunch-time shift?
Man, that Lodge Safe bit is gonna be so useful to me. I didn't know about that, and had started selling all resources I get over 100 so my ship would stop running out of space. Now I can throw it all in there instead. Thanks!
The cutter is actually insane against most enemies if you have lasers leveled all the way up. If you rush lasers the cutter can be super useful early game bc it doesn’t require ammo
The "UV Texture" on the Nirnroot might be something akin to a map, perhaps an intergalactic scavenger hunt. Bethesda is historically very good with housing Easter eggs, some very well hidden or fleshed out, and the know full well just how eager their fans are of ES6, despite very little being revealed or spoken of. It would be so cool to go do a scavenger hunt that leads to places that may or may not have callbacks or hints sprinkled in about their previous/ upcoming Elder Scrolls title. One can dream.
I'm very well acquainted with the creation kit and it's creation kits. That's not just a weird texture bug and if it is, it's the first time i've ever seen it.
for the root you were close with the texture-uv. it is a decals uv map, starfield uses a lot of decals for detail, its like stickers placed on top of meshes, like vent slits, screws, information on wall, logos, etc. the stem of the root just has the wrong material applied which is this decals uv texture. crazy catch tho
I agree with your assertion, but I couldn't find the texture in the BAs to confirm. Someone with more conviction will surely find them. It definitely does not seem like a literal map.
@@Lorenzo_I. they probably use decalmachin3, so the decal textures must be placed in a specific folder. idk how deep you can go into the files but each asset should have a seperate corresponding decal mesh which has the decal texture applied
i found a little skyrim easter egg. in the prison when you’re looking for the “legacy” that’s attached to the crimson fleet story line, a computer while in the last control room has a list of all the inmates and their names. at the very bottom of the list it has Delvin Malory. I loved the thieves guild quest line and i thought this was perfect little easter egg.
Found more Nirnroot! There are a couple samples at an abandoned farm I found on Polvo in the Valo system, south west of Hopetown. Not sure if it's a random generation structure that's just rare and this is the first time I've found one, or if it's a curated location, but it's in the map that generates when you land at Hopetown, so it may be curated. Edit: Definitely curated, there were three voiced logs and a named body
Cool hope camel sees this and mentions it in a later video on easter eggs also the sweet rolls.Found some in I think it was called off world eats in the underbelly of neon don't know if that's random though since they said the menu changes often.
14:06 supervisor Lin explains this after the elevator ride when you first start up a new game. She berates one of the miners for using it incorrectly and says it’s a laser not a chainsaw, it’s very easy to miss but it’s technically in the tutorial.
The storage crates in the basement of the Lodge also appear infinite and non-resetting. I've been using the one on the table between the research station and workbenches to store all my resources for quick upgrades.
That blue book is a just a placeholder. It's basic placeholder for when they haven't decided what to place there yet. It was either used in decoration and world filling without knowing that that one was a placeholder, or it was known that it was a placeholder, and forgotten about, and never replaced.
So, if Nirnroot canonically exists in Starfield, and Starfield is set in our universe, then Nirn must be somewhere in this universe. Meaning Bethesda officially took the stance of polytheism 😂
One little Easter egg I had heard when I was at The Clinic from the Freestar quests, I had heard one person mention "did you ever hear the one about the platypus and the orphan?" I didn't catch what else he said, but that's for sure a Phineas and Ferb reference
RE Toilet paper. Having the paper away from the wall is the obvious way to place it... until you're a cat owner. If you have a cat put it towards the wall, or you won't be happy ever again. The cat otherways will figure out how to roll out all the paper. And it will do it over and over again. If the toilet paper is at the wall, your cat will only turn the toilet paper roll over and over again but the paper will stay on the roll. This is a survival tip for cat owners.
The mine isn't the only location you can get a NASA mug, you can find one next to a coffee machine in one of the rooms on the generational colony ship orbiting paradiso.
I've been playing Starfield for over 50 hours and it always bugged me how I couldn't mine things faster, I even got the special orange cutter back from the starting planet and still nothing, this tip blew my mind! Thank you so much, it made my life oh so much easier!
one of the outpost paintings has a picture of a snowy mountainous area with some kinds of structures in the middle (could just be trees that look that way, there's treelines to the left of the "structure") and some kind of large flying thing in the air that looks like a dragon. the area looks like a more snowy whiterun and a dragon looming over it.
Whenever you find contraband, just go straight to "the den" no scans, trade it all in for ammo etc or wait on the seat next to the vendor between restocks
In the main story line there is a scow ship. In the captains quarters there is a showcase with a credstik with a plaque that says “my first credit” on the right side of it scrawled in marker pen is the words “my precious” another nod to LOTR.
The "Book" is simply the data structure that was used for all instantiations of books in the game. The name of 'Book' and the alphabet & numbers were dummy data the programmer entered to test the data structure. The intent was for that dummy data to be overwritten by 'actual' data by those in charge of 'writing' books. However in this one case, an installation of a book was made without any data being entered, so the programmer's test date got shown in game.
You have just helped me massively with my storage just by talking about the infinite storage at The Lodge. And for that you are a massive Chad. Thank you.
Def helped one person with the safe tip I never go in the constellation room because of my ship but I just lost stuff in there it bugged out the captains locker so this is clutch thanks
also when youre landing on planets or you've landed already and hear another ship, sometimes it REALLY sounds like the tardis sound, which is supposed to be the brake being left on the tardis, so maybe it's a slight reference.
If you have a particularly annoying cat there is only one choice for the toilet paper, down at the back, Hanging down the front creates an irrresetable toy for a cat . Cat stands on back legs and claw at the roll with front paws, the roll spins forward and unwinds. If a cat tries it with the paper down the back it doesn't unwind you just get claw marks in the tp. Should be able to extract the Nirnroot model from the datafiles to check what the default textures are, bethesda archive extractor has been updated for starfield. Its possible the ingame plants have a material override though so untill the creation kit comes out it may be impossible to know if the extracted files reveal nothing. I'm going to guess it is a bug.
I love astroid mining. It gets more bonkers if you build for it. Here's what you do: Make it buy the smallest lightest A class ship you can manage, then cram a B class reactor, shields, and the largest particle beam weapons you can manage into it. You will pop each asteroid instantly, and you will be ridiculously fast and maneuverable.
I can explain your nirnroot mystery quite easily. The the nirnroot mesh is pointing at a decal texture by mistake. This of course as you know has gone unnoticed because it takes a magnifying glass to identify it.
In one of the Prison Cells Files in the mission of the Crimson Fleet, in the frozen planet, there is an Easter Egg of Skyrim, it says Mallory, Delvin was in that cells
Lin tells a miner off in the intro, I think that's her telling him to hold RMB - "it's a scalpel, not a shotgun" or something like that, it's been a while.
Away from the wall, or Beard Position. As an Australian, you don't want an unseen spider scaring the crap out of you by running up the underside of the bog roll and up your arm from a bog roll in the Mullet Position... Although you're in the right place for that to happen!
Book: Seems like a test object left in accidentally. Mug: Obviously some space explorer or miner from the Starfield age brought it there and forgot it, but it would be so much cooler if, somehow, in universe, some NASA astronaut made it out that far. Toilet Paper: I put mine on the CORRECT WAY, thank you. Po Tay Toes: Oven roasted, obviously, tossed with some olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, maybe some onion powder and paprika. I'm living for this Nirnroot mystery now, by the way. It's all I'll be thinking about until the Pokémon DLC drops on Wednesday.
Probably been said by someone else but the storage container on the table, im the middle of the room with all the crafting tables, downstairs in the lodge, is also an infinite storage container
Paper away from the wall! Also for an odd little play on words I found a can of Can-uck Poutine which seems like a swipe at Canadians to me. The maintenance cleaning bots also make depressed little noises if you try to talk to them which is kinda funny.
@Camelworks the Nirnroot shot you have at 36:30ish looks like it is Binary code and something else on the left, 1001 and 000 the 1001 is Binary but the other from what I found is a common code for network error or client disconnected, I mean it could be nothing but it does kinda look like that 1 + 0 + 0 + 8 = 9. That is all there is to it. Here is the answer to 1001 binary to decimal: 9
Contraband is why I have an outpost on the same planet as Akilla. When you load in and they're doing the scan you can open the map and fast travel to your outpost (temporarily bypassing the scan) and I drop off my Contraband, and fly back up into orbit so I can go through the scan. If you don't you can't fast travel to Akilla. Once you do that you can land and FT to you OP get the stuff FT back and sell it at the trade authority.
When scanning gas giants, make sure that after you improve your scanning ability, go back and rescan them. Every time you upgrade it you can get a new scan, which is a new tablet, which is more money.
ABC 123 is a test book to make sure the font is being displayed, and correctly. Bethesda likes to leave some of it's tools in the final product for quick testing and extra content.
The nirnroot is going to be dlc. Sarah and you will go to the constant to investigate strange readings. You go there and use solar flare on all the nirnroots. Surprisingly they don't burn down. The screen fades to black. "Hey you, you're finally awake"
I'm pretty sure i remember seeing a flippy toilet roll in the mantis secret outpost. As to the Nirn Root, it looks to be either an atlas texture, a decal sheet, or a sprite sheet. A UV map isnt something you can see, it's part of the object data, it's basically a series of UVW (yes 2D textures do have 3 coordinates, the third is always 0) coordinates that tells a texture where each pixel sits on the model and cannot be rendered by a game engine. Fun Fact: UVW doesn't actually mean anything, when deciding what to name 2D coordinates theythoguht they could just go with XYZ, but it was already in use and caused confusion, so they just decided to go three letters back in the alphabet and called it job done. The Book "book" is probably the template used to create all the other books, and it was just left in the asset list by mistake and put in without realising.
On the subject of book: There is this meme tweet thing that says something among the lines of "every book is the same, with just all the letters jumbled"so, in a way, you have read every story.
For the Contraband items there are 2 ways to get rid of it without being caught. 1. Fly to the Wolf System and Dock at "The Den" and sell your Contraband easily and they usually have more credits than most trade authority vendors. 2. Build an Outpost on the planet you want to bring back those illegal items by flying to the planet and as soon as your screen pops up from loading, open your Starmap and chose to land anywhere on the planet you want to sell your Contraband. While landed put up an outpost and build a storage box and unload your Contraband in it. Get back in your ship and fly to a near moon as since you didnt get scanned you cant fly to thw planet and land at their spaceport, so flying to a near moon and flying back to that same planet you built that outpost, will get your ship scanned and authorized to land so go back to that outpost and get your Contraband then fly to the city's spaceport now because your ship is already scanned and free of Contraband hahaha.
There's a SSSN news broadcast which tells of a bounty hunter gunning down his target in the middle of Cydonia, it goes into a lot of detail and i'm convinced it's a blade runner reference.
They were using another nirnroot mesh/texture, then when they started working on TES6 and created a new nirnroot asset, they decided to update SF with the new asset, copied it over, but missed a texture file, and since the thing is so small, and you have to put a ton of work into even noticing it, it was never caught.
If you look around the Clinic, there are actually other copies of Book. I found one to the right of the docking air lock in a locker, another in the Ranger office in a locker and am still searching to see if they are more. They stack so they are the same book.
Typically I put the roll facing away from the wall cuz that's how we do it at work, but when I had a cat I had it facing the wall so he didn't unroll the whole thing out of boredom
What details have you found in Starfield? What's with the book Book? How did the Nasa mug get there? Which way does toilet paper go? How do you like your potatoes? What is the secret hiding in the Nirnroot?

This is correct. The same book can be found in the Skyrim Dev Room. Its either what you said or its a resource for other books to pull from.
But it could also be an Easter egg, since there's only one... Maybe lol.
How to deal with contraband scans: USE SHIELDED CARGO HOLDS, also a jammer once those become available.
And go to wolf or somewhere outside the settled systems
The best chance at not being detected is 90%. So there is always a chance it will be detected.

It's a map to Raxxla.
One of the icons looks a bit like a Stargate from SG-1

You can also pull all of your items from your ship or people on your ship. Mainly because they ask if you want the party in 0G. Which allows you to move freely. Once inside you may need to speak to someone for that interaction. After that they tell you that the person down stairs is the one handing out drinks. Mind you there are a few items on the ship listed as "Owned" but most all drinks aren't. Anyways. Go down a floor and to the end with what looks like a DJ? The only person behind the table. They will purchase Illegal Contraband as well as stolen goods.
The Book book looks like a test object to me, testing the font or the text format used by books but not using the quick brown fox line, just every letter and number. Then since it was made may as well use it in the game. Books and notes in Bethesda games are not a different texture for each page but an html overlay with the paper texture as the background so it takes very little to make them but important to get the font and format right.
That's what I was thinking too. Testing object that made it into base game
@@BKDenied Intentionally made it into the game one should say.
I found 2 more books called book at the clinic. So a total of 3 so far. Immediately after boarding the clinic take an immediate right ( basically behind the trade authority kiosk) and in the center locker should be 2 more of the exact same, chapter 1 ,A-Z, 1-0, book called book!
Finally getting into the Starfield content here on youtube after sinking in my first 100 hours. I've loved your Skyrim content for years now, and I'm so happy to see this level of content on Starfield now, I'll definitely be keeping up with your Starfield content from here on out, keep up the great work.
Thanks mate, plenty more to come!
I was shooting some asteroids last night and made the mistake of accidentally shooting the loot and it just kept going and going further away from me so I gave up chasing it lol
Ye I do that every now and then. Just worth letting it go
The "book'" item screams placeholder to me, like someone missed it unintentionally. I don't know whether or not that makes any sense; maybe someone got lazy, and went "oh Hell, whatever," and just slapped down a generic "Book" in this spot in particular, perhaps at the end of a 12-hour crunch-time shift?
Man, that Lodge Safe bit is gonna be so useful to me. I didn't know about that, and had started selling all resources I get over 100 so my ship would stop running out of space. Now I can throw it all in there instead. Thanks!
As far as using the cutter in combat, it's the best weapon in the game.
Fr tho that stagger when charging it is nutty 👌🏽
The cutter is actually insane against most enemies if you have lasers leveled all the way up. If you rush lasers the cutter can be super useful early game bc it doesn’t require ammo
You can meet the hunter at the start of the game and have conversation with him. He is located in the viewport in
New Atlantis.
The "UV Texture" on the Nirnroot might be something akin to a map, perhaps an intergalactic scavenger hunt. Bethesda is historically very good with housing Easter eggs, some very well hidden or fleshed out, and the know full well just how eager their fans are of ES6, despite very little being revealed or spoken of. It would be so cool to go do a scavenger hunt that leads to places that may or may not have callbacks or hints sprinkled in about their previous/ upcoming Elder Scrolls title. One can dream.
Possible that the nirn root was a last minute placement as often times Easter eggs are place quickly so that the sneak past quality oversigh.
I'm very well acquainted with the creation kit and it's creation kits. That's not just a weird texture bug and if it is, it's the first time i've ever seen it.
for the root you were close with the texture-uv. it is a decals uv map, starfield uses a lot of decals for detail, its like stickers placed on top of meshes, like vent slits, screws, information on wall, logos, etc. the stem of the root just has the wrong material applied which is this decals uv texture. crazy catch tho
I agree with your assertion, but I couldn't find the texture in the BAs to confirm. Someone with more conviction will surely find them. It definitely does not seem like a literal map.
@@Lorenzo_I. they probably use decalmachin3, so the decal textures must be placed in a specific folder. idk how deep you can go into the files but each asset should have a seperate corresponding decal mesh which has the decal texture applied
@@Lorenzo_I. it's in the textures05 ba2, decalmetalboltstrimsdetails01
Bruh. The cutter being charged up just fixed my life 80 hours in
i found a little skyrim easter egg. in the prison when you’re looking for the “legacy” that’s attached to the crimson fleet story line, a computer while in the last control room has a list of all the inmates and their names. at the very bottom of the list it has Delvin Malory. I loved the thieves guild quest line and i thought this was perfect little easter egg.
The Nirnroot mystery deserves its own video!
Found more Nirnroot! There are a couple samples at an abandoned farm I found on Polvo in the Valo system, south west of Hopetown. Not sure if it's a random generation structure that's just rare and this is the first time I've found one, or if it's a curated location, but it's in the map that generates when you land at Hopetown, so it may be curated.
Edit: Definitely curated, there were three voiced logs and a named body
Cool hope camel sees this and mentions it in a later video on easter eggs also the sweet rolls.Found some in I think it was called off world eats in the underbelly of neon don't know if that's random though since they said the menu changes often.
Bro...did u check the texture???
14:06 supervisor Lin explains this after the elevator ride when you first start up a new game. She berates one of the miners for using it incorrectly and says it’s a laser not a chainsaw, it’s very easy to miss but it’s technically in the tutorial.
S. Wheeler patent number 459,516 patented 15/9/1891 "wrapping or toilet paper roll" the inventor of the thing has the answer everyone needs
there is absolutely a code in the stem, or something, they would not put that much effort into a "missing texture" texture. great video!
The storage crates in the basement of the Lodge also appear infinite and non-resetting. I've been using the one on the table between the research station and workbenches to store all my resources for quick upgrades.
That blue book is a just a placeholder. It's basic placeholder for when they haven't decided what to place there yet. It was either used in decoration and world filling without knowing that that one was a placeholder, or it was known that it was a placeholder, and forgotten about, and never replaced.
Bro the storage in the room, absolutely helped me. That was my main problem was finding storage for all my crap. Love your video. Lol.
So, if Nirnroot canonically exists in Starfield, and Starfield is set in our universe, then Nirn must be somewhere in this universe.
Meaning Bethesda officially took the stance of polytheism 😂
Maybe someone will make a mod for Nirn, the whole planet will be in the game somewhere maybe? Maybe we can play skyrim in starfield?
One little Easter egg I had heard when I was at The Clinic from the Freestar quests, I had heard one person mention "did you ever hear the one about the platypus and the orphan?" I didn't catch what else he said, but that's for sure a Phineas and Ferb reference
RE Toilet paper. Having the paper away from the wall is the obvious way to place it... until you're a cat owner. If you have a cat put it towards the wall, or you won't be happy ever again. The cat otherways will figure out how to roll out all the paper. And it will do it over and over again. If the toilet paper is at the wall, your cat will only turn the toilet paper roll over and over again but the paper will stay on the roll.
This is a survival tip for cat owners.
The mine isn't the only location you can get a NASA mug, you can find one next to a coffee machine in one of the rooms on the generational colony ship orbiting paradiso.
Theres another "book" book hidden inside a locker in the Clinic next to the entrance/exit. Gotta open those lockers
I've been playing Starfield for over 50 hours and it always bugged me how I couldn't mine things faster, I even got the special orange cutter back from the starting planet and still nothing, this tip blew my mind! Thank you so much, it made my life oh so much easier!
Oh my god I had NO idea that you could power up the Cutter. That’s HUGE. Thank you so much!!
The Nirnroot is the ES6 topographical map-- because they already have the landscape topography mapped out
Great movie m8 xD The way you raised the tension of final mistery was smthg as the best suspense-like. Gratz!😊
imagine you touch the nirnroot, and you get teleported to nirn and have a space battle against alduin or something funny
one of the outpost paintings has a picture of a snowy mountainous area with some kinds of structures in the middle (could just be trees that look that way, there's treelines to the left of the "structure") and some kind of large flying thing in the air that looks like a dragon. the area looks like a more snowy whiterun and a dragon looming over it.
when you dock at the clinic immediately turn right and there are some lockers, one of them has the exact same "book"
Whenever you find contraband, just go straight to "the den" no scans, trade it all in for ammo etc or wait on the seat next to the vendor between restocks
So happy I have a new game to listen to Camelworks break down
In the main story line there is a scow ship. In the captains quarters there is a showcase with a credstik with a plaque that says “my first credit” on the right side of it scrawled in marker pen is the words “my precious” another nod to LOTR.
30:35 The ship's name Constant is also Game Dev joke because the only constant in game development is change
The "Book" is simply the data structure that was used for all instantiations of books in the game. The name of 'Book' and the alphabet & numbers were dummy data the programmer entered to test the data structure. The intent was for that dummy data to be overwritten by 'actual' data by those in charge of 'writing' books. However in this one case, an installation of a book was made without any data being entered, so the programmer's test date got shown in game.
You have just helped me massively with my storage
just by talking about the infinite storage at The Lodge. And for that you are a massive Chad. Thank you.
Doing what you do best. I’m glad there’s a new world of content for stuff like this.😊
In the south, in America, they might also refer to potatoes as "taters", though that's usually more of a humourous thing.
Book is probably a dev test item. I seem to remember a similar book in morrowind's files.
Def helped one person with the safe tip I never go in the constellation room because of my ship but I just lost stuff in there it bugged out the captains locker so this is clutch thanks
The activity “ Speak to the upset Doctor by the tree.” In New Atlantic City could be related to the nirnroot.
That blue book looks like an easter egg from Dr. Who! That looks like Dr. River Song's journal.
also when youre landing on planets or you've landed already and hear another ship, sometimes it REALLY sounds like the tardis sound, which is supposed to be the brake being left on the tardis, so maybe it's a slight reference.
If you have a particularly annoying cat there is only one choice for the toilet paper, down at the back, Hanging down the front creates an irrresetable toy for a cat . Cat stands on back legs and claw at the roll with front paws, the roll spins forward and unwinds. If a cat tries it with the paper down the back it doesn't unwind you just get claw marks in the tp. Should be able to extract the Nirnroot model from the datafiles to check what the default textures are, bethesda archive extractor has been updated for starfield. Its possible the ingame plants have a material override though so untill the creation kit comes out it may be impossible to know if the extracted files reveal nothing. I'm going to guess it is a bug.
There are at least two, limitless storages in the basement aswell. One is directly behind the research station on the table.
I love astroid mining. It gets more bonkers if you build for it. Here's what you do:
Make it buy the smallest lightest A class ship you can manage, then cram a B class reactor, shields, and the largest particle beam weapons you can manage into it. You will pop each asteroid instantly, and you will be ridiculously fast and maneuverable.
Dude that Nasa mug gives you a big hint for the story, wich only makes sense when you know the story. Like holy Crap.
The curating curiosity series boutta go fucking wild.
I can explain your nirnroot mystery quite easily. The the nirnroot mesh is pointing at a decal texture by mistake. This of course as you know has gone unnoticed because it takes a magnifying glass to identify it.
In one of the Prison Cells Files in the mission of the Crimson Fleet, in the frozen planet, there is an Easter Egg of Skyrim, it says Mallory, Delvin was in that cells
Lin tells a miner off in the intro, I think that's her telling him to hold RMB - "it's a scalpel, not a shotgun" or something like that, it's been a while.
Away from the wall, or Beard Position. As an Australian, you don't want an unseen spider scaring the crap out of you by running up the underside of the bog roll and up your arm from a bog roll in the Mullet Position... Although you're in the right place for that to happen!
Book: Seems like a test object left in accidentally.
Mug: Obviously some space explorer or miner from the Starfield age brought it there and forgot it, but it would be so much cooler if, somehow, in universe, some NASA astronaut made it out that far.
Toilet Paper: I put mine on the CORRECT WAY, thank you.
Po Tay Toes: Oven roasted, obviously, tossed with some olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, maybe some onion powder and paprika.
I'm living for this Nirnroot mystery now, by the way. It's all I'll be thinking about until the Pokémon DLC drops on Wednesday.
Probably been said by someone else but the storage container on the table, im the middle of the room with all the crafting tables, downstairs in the lodge, is also an infinite storage container
Paper away from the wall! Also for an odd little play on words I found a can of Can-uck Poutine which seems like a swipe at Canadians to me. The maintenance cleaning bots also make depressed little noises if you try to talk to them which is kinda funny.
@Camelworks the Nirnroot shot you have at 36:30ish looks like it is Binary code and something else on the left, 1001 and 000 the 1001 is Binary but the other from what I found is a common code for network error or client disconnected, I mean it could be nothing but it does kinda look like that
1 + 0 + 0 + 8 = 9. That is all there is to it. Here is the answer to 1001 binary to decimal: 9
I've found 4 of the books called Book in various lockers around the Clinic. One was even yellow. They are all the same on the inside.
Contraband is why I have an outpost on the same planet as Akilla. When you load in and they're doing the scan you can open the map and fast travel to your outpost (temporarily bypassing the scan) and I drop off my Contraband, and fly back up into orbit so I can go through the scan. If you don't you can't fast travel to Akilla. Once you do that you can land and FT to you OP get the stuff FT back and sell it at the trade authority.
downstairs in the crafting room in the lodge is another infinite storage box , but this is linked to all the crafting benches in the room .
Found 2 more copies of "Book" in the clinic. They're in the lockers to your right as soon as you dock.
When scanning gas giants, make sure that after you improve your scanning ability, go back and rescan them. Every time you upgrade it you can get a new scan, which is a new tablet, which is more money.
ABC 123 is a test book to make sure the font is being displayed, and correctly. Bethesda likes to leave some of it's tools in the final product for quick testing and extra content.
The nirnroot is going to be dlc.
Sarah and you will go to the constant to investigate strange readings.
You go there and use solar flare on all the nirnroots.
Surprisingly they don't burn down.
The screen fades to black.
"Hey you, you're finally awake"
LMAO - the TP debate rages anew!! (the correct hygienic way is over not under btw). Great stuff!
Hey camel what if the uv map goes over an actual let's say over the plant you found it on acting as a cypher key? I'm not sure but who knows
Book is a placeholder. Used for testing. Missed on cleanup before launch.
I found two of the Book books in the Clinic. They’re in the second locker to the right of the entrance.
I'm pretty sure i remember seeing a flippy toilet roll in the mantis secret outpost.
As to the Nirn Root, it looks to be either an atlas texture, a decal sheet, or a sprite sheet. A UV map isnt something you can see, it's part of the object data, it's basically a series of UVW (yes 2D textures do have 3 coordinates, the third is always 0) coordinates that tells a texture where each pixel sits on the model and cannot be rendered by a game engine.
Fun Fact: UVW doesn't actually mean anything, when deciding what to name 2D coordinates theythoguht they could just go with XYZ, but it was already in use and caused confusion, so they just decided to go three letters back in the alphabet and called it job done.
The Book "book" is probably the template used to create all the other books, and it was just left in the asset list by mistake and put in without realising.
There’s an infinite storage chest in the basement of The Lodge, too. Right behind the research station, and it’s a small chest.
On the subject of book:
There is this meme tweet thing that says something among the lines of "every book is the same, with just all the letters jumbled"so, in a way, you have read every story.
For the Contraband items there are 2 ways to get rid of it without being caught.
1. Fly to the Wolf System and Dock at "The Den" and sell your Contraband easily and they usually have more credits than most trade authority vendors.
2. Build an Outpost on the planet you want to bring back those illegal items by flying to the planet and as soon as your screen pops up from loading, open your Starmap and chose to land anywhere on the planet you want to sell your Contraband. While landed put up an outpost and build a storage box and unload your Contraband in it. Get back in your ship and fly to a near moon as since you didnt get scanned you cant fly to thw planet and land at their spaceport, so flying to a near moon and flying back to that same planet you built that outpost, will get your ship scanned and authorized to land so go back to that outpost and get your Contraband then fly to the city's spaceport now because your ship is already scanned and free of Contraband hahaha.
I did know about the storage but didn't know where it was. Thanks for that
There's a SSSN news broadcast which tells of a bounty hunter gunning down his target in the middle of Cydonia, it goes into a lot of detail and i'm convinced it's a blade runner reference.
They were using another nirnroot mesh/texture, then when they started working on TES6 and created a new nirnroot asset, they decided to update SF with the new asset, copied it over, but missed a texture file, and since the thing is so small, and you have to put a ton of work into even noticing it, it was never caught.
OMG! I did not know about the super charged mining beam. That will make things so much faster. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Stroud ekland is house Va’ruun, you should look into this and make a video on it!!
oooh can't wait to watch this =)
Well,apparently you can wait long enough to comment lol
Book is definitely a placeholder that someone forgot to replace.
I've come across a NASA mug on the Moon during one of the main quest missions as well, not a unique item but definitely rare.
If you look around the Clinic, there are actually other copies of Book. I found one to the right of the docking air lock in a locker, another in the Ranger office in a locker and am still searching to see if they are more. They stack so they are the same book.
Typically I put the roll facing away from the wall cuz that's how we do it at work, but when I had a cat I had it facing the wall so he didn't unroll the whole thing out of boredom
