Includes some long-awaited POI fixes!
That is a ton of QoL changes. I love it.
That actually seemed realistic.
They could have sold eclipse glasses as micro transactions. Opportunity missed.
Thank goodness. This gave me a minor conniption every time I had to interact with these menus. Now if they would only add an “Upload All” for your scans …
Way back at the beginning of my game, I found a trading post near my beginning crash site that had a great multi-tool. It cost over 2 million units so no way I could buy it back then. Now I want it but apparently, even though you have marked a site as ‘discovered’, there’s no way to find it again. I didn’t have the beacon blueprint then so that wasn’t an option. This is driving me nuts because I really need that upgrade and it’s like hunting for a needle in a haystack.
Is there any way that I may have missed to locate your original crash site on the starting planet?
There are plenty of useful but expensive multitools floating around in outposts and places like that, so don’t worry about losing any given item or location.
Yeah they still haven’t added d-pad controls to switch between ship and suit in that menu, which would be a nice addition. But at least they did add the ability to transfer items from exocraft to suit directly! This is a great breakthrough. :)
‘Upload all’ would be the ultimate though!
So to get this update we need to opt-in to the beta branch I’m assuming?
Is this still the password?: 3xperimental
Yeah, probably. At least, it was last week when I switched to experimental.
I would recommend switching; haven’t had a single issue in experimental so far (outside of the stable branch issues).
Yep, and yep!
Confirmed, the planetary POI/marker/waypoint fixes in experimental are good. So much easier to explore unfamiliar planets now.
Yeah, I’m glad that’s fixed. I found 4 drop pods last night. Also, the duplicate base portal location issue is fixed. So much better now.
Do the devs have any plans for implementing planetary maps?
New patch seems to be out on PS4 now.
So I discovered all 9 species of fauna on a planet and I’m supposed to get a 220K bonus but i can’t figure out where to upload and collect. It literally says “Upload and receive 220K” directly above the panel showing the flora/fauna species but nowhere can I do that…
There’s a ‘paw’ icon in (I believe) the upper right of that screen. You need to click on that to get the upload credit and units.
