Looks like we all took a page out of 3813Gs book; popped that SwarmSong into a playlist and stuck it on repeat

I thought the thin limbs of the autophage matched well with the chitin armour <3 For that insectoid catwalk look.

Finished the other day but have been image transferring averse until today.

Sorry. But this new stuff brings only one thing to mind

The final scene of that movie, I know to some people it’s comical now but it genuinely unsettles me. That slow zoom with the chipmunk voice should read as comedy today, but I just couldn’t remove myself from the existential dread that man must be experiencing.

And I saw cronnenbergs first. When I was no older than ten, it was grand. Confusing but just gross body horror. I was fine. Its cronnenberg we should be worried about.

Caught the original late at night on TV when I was 13 maybe. No thank you.

I just watch The Fly 2 now. To annoy people.

Did some testing with the starting system and player bases across platforms.

My memory of previous expeditions were, even if you got in early, the starting planet would be littered with player bases, pre built slap jobs mostly from pc save editors, was always a welcoming sight.

This expedition, zero player bases visible on starting system, but can see some bases in other systems, but not the usual number you’d expect.

I’m wondering if they left the starting system like this intentionally to keep it nice and clean as a stepping stone or is it just the sudden tripling in some cases quintupling of user base across all platforms? And the starting system is just getting ddos’d from all the requests as the entry point for all players?

I have two characters, one on pc and one on PS5, currently sitting in main system.

I can see the settlements and, if built, bases of other players in my nearby player list when in the starting system. They disappear when the player leaves so it seems to be a dead zone with regards to pulling uploaded info from the servers.

Something else of note, this new playthrough on expedition, I checked the optional milestones progress and it shows I’ve killed 13/50 in my individual kills (instead of 50 and counting like we are all “stuck” on) , so it seems the limit is 50 kills a day. The 150 value from datamine might mean one kill is equal to 3 for the tracked tally, hence the numbering difference.

If I recall, when we last had a daily limit for gathering autophage souls, our contributions that exceeded the limit would get pulled from for the next day and it would do a similar thing, show that we had filled out quota?

Someone please help me re-remember that right if they remember it better.

Is the “and counting” part just a turn of phrase or does it imply you’re still contributing, but like stop at 50 and touch some grass by all means youve done your part.

This made me extremely thirsty for SSR on PS5 now '^ _ ^

Lets hope those graphical bug fixes mentioned for PS5 include it :slight_smile:

Seeing how much they’ve ramped up the SSR while introducing a crazy new water system leads me to think there’s hope of ray trace/RTX support for GI maybe some day in the future <3

Now that is glassy! My understanding is reflection is currently better on console with fixes to PC…have not been able to play today to check.
And @toddumptious , I saw no bases in the starter system until the last exp pc update and now I see them everywhere

I’m not sure if this also happened on previous expeditions but the system and location I was sent to for Drop Zone/Rendezvous 3 was different on PC than on PS5.

Will update if 4/5 line up or are different.

edit:
Rendezvous points 3, 4 and 5 were all entirely different for my PC playthrough compared to my console playthrough.

Most interesting. And usually the RV systems and all planets therein are discovered by HG but that was not the case on PC

3 Likes

Before things went super wonky, starting system showed as being discovered by “LightNoFire” on both platforms.

On PC now, it shows that I just discovered a system upon entering it but on PS5 it says everything has been discovered by “The Vanguard” <3

Not sure if player having fun while discovery services are acting up or intentional and hardcoded like the LightNoFire discovery.

I believe @ThatBomberBoi posted on X that the LNF discovery was not HG or SM. Not sure about the Vanguard discoveries

Bomberboi to the rescue again with more clarity on the matter <3

So The Vanguard is correct. I love this :smiley: I also love that the mercanaries guild seems to have wiped out the other guilds in all the systems for this expedition (or maybe all the brood infestations eated all those silly capitalists and explorers up)
