Just want to add a small thing - in real world they last much longer than 5 days since your electric grid doesn't use power all the time when you are offline. And for most players (especially for solo players in PvE) they can easily last as long as two weeks. Even when I was playing and using them to get lithium and oil they still lasted around 10 days for me.

yes my average was 10 days also

Proof!

Well thats me done with a27 i think. I may have found one more potentiol exploit which needs a bit of work if i have the will...

Hi,

this doubles as an exploit, so it double as an exploit report.

long story short, place offline players in a strategic location and stand in a precise spot. you wont take damage from queen ranged.
you just need to heal from ground pound attack. 250 grenades and 2 rockets launchers do the trick.


exploit can be fixed by removing offline players from queen arena.

i will try and do it again tomorrow early hours when no on is on, and record a video.

i attempt to record a video today but few players came in.

@betocorp, you cannot actually lose them (there is always a mark on the map where the drone has dropped) so it's less of an issue now, right?
If you have actually lost a drone and you're 100% certain it was not destroyed due to 0% durability or being destroyed by another player (possible only in PvP), please let us know.

We're considering improvements for A28 Update to introduce special slots for drones in the drone control device so they will not drop on the ground when flying back. However, if their resources could not fit into your inventory they will still drop on the ground. I'm not sure if it will be a major improvement compared to what we have right now...

Regards!

I think players would welcome this. As it is akin to a inventory size increase.

Have i understood this correctly:

Each hit on a node (sand,clay,copper, iron, etc)
Counts towards the increased probability of gaining a gem?

Or is it each completed node ?

So when you start mining or after getting a gem, your chance to get one is 1/2000 ?

Is the chance 1/1000 per stone node (as exemple), or is it per loot like +5 stones, or per stone? I mean if you loot 5 stones at once, did you get 5 chances or 1?

I would like to know the answer to this also

the current system works fine, a droid recall feature would be better however its not a priority and so i would prefer resources be allocated elsewhere as i know your manpower is limited  :)

Thank you for posting this.

I initially thought this would be gamebreaking


But infact its not.

Its a great little tool for getting a lot of fish, finising completionist and great for LP gain until diminishing returns kick in.

Overall great mod. Doesnt break the game.

Ideas and suggestions / Re: NE volcano

West volcano = 44 prag, 1 loot box. NE volcano 51 prag, 2 loot boxes. Ne volcano require 20-25 % more ammunition. Tested with .300 ap

With this info i guess there is a tradeoff that the west volcano is easier.

So perhaps it is fine as it is

Hi guys,

My idea is to add droid recall feature (similar to the vehicles in the garage) to the droid controller. So if u die and your droid are in operation; you can simply summon them.

As they are not marked on map, i have lost them like this once or twice.

Any chance (if you like idea) to have it added to a27 before the release.

Yeah, it is one of the things in our plans to rebalance before full release of the update. It's something we will definitely work on shortly.

Hi guys you guys wanted further feedback on volcanoes.

IMO

NE volcano now averages 50 prag

And 2 loot boxes.

I think this is fine.

The west volcano now averages 45 prag and 1 loot box

A small change i would make is to make this 2 loot boxes. Second one a millitary one to compensate the lower prag drops in this location

So i went ahead and manually checked for myself. For those interested:

100 Gas Cans = +75,000 EU
100 Peteoleum, 100 Gas Cans and 100 Mineral Oil = -60,000 EU

100 Mineral Oil to Gas converions = -25,000 EU and +75,000 EU

So,

150,000 EU - 85,000 EU = 65,000 EU

1 Gas can = 750 EU

Excess Gas = 65,000 EU / 750
Excess Gas = 86 Gas Cans.

This means 1 shuffle provides energy for itself and leaves excess of 86 cans. Good idea if you want to keep the Extraction/Refinery claim seperate.

Yours Truly,

The King of Time Wasting and Pointless Excercises.

Hi,

How much EU does 100 cans of gas generate.

How much total EU does Advanced Fuel Pump use to produce 100 cans

How much total EU does an Oil Refinery use to refine 100 petroleum in to 100 gasoline and 100 mineral oil.

This info will help me greatly thank you !
