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.

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.

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 !

Ideas and suggestions / A28 Idea: Master Hunter
July 12, 2020, 08:33:28 AM
Hi,

I have an idea (well borrowed from other survival games)

In Completionist add another tab which rewards a perk
For killing a certain number of creatures.

E.g kill 500 prag beetles = prag nodes have chance to drop 3 prag instead of 2
Kill 500 fire lizard = 5 % damage increase
Kill X amount of Scorpion = improved base armor
Kill X amount of cloaked lizard = improve HP
Kill X queens = better life regen

Ideas and suggestions / Pragmium Sensor
July 10, 2020, 02:18:21 PM
Hi,

Ive only just tried the prag sensor, i read a lot of complaints in the chat.

I think partly down to misunderstanding of use and partly the execution needs tweaking.

To help players understand, if you look at the mini map; you will see a highlighted rectangle which represent your field of view.

The prag sensor makes a single scan sound and the radius or rectangle/grid it searches is around 20x(maybe more) as big as your F.O.V one. When you are within this invisable rectangle the prag sensor makes a second different sound. If the sound stop then you have left the grid.

My suggestion is this.

Make this grid visible ! On the minimap, maybe transparent blue ?

If there are two in the grid, make that prag detected sound twice?


My personal thought are , this sensor in its current state is useful. Especially if you know the common location of prag. As when the detected sound is made i look at map and thing " ah it must be that one"

Ill give you guys an example where its currently very useful. With the sensor you dont have to go all the way to the edges of the desert as if there is no detected sound  you dont need to check there ! Once you figure out the size of the grid you can run along thay far in from the edge of the desert.

Ideas and suggestions / Excess LP
July 08, 2020, 02:28:17 PM
Hi,


I lied, i have one more suggestion tonight.

Maybe just a PVE feature

End game you end up with a ton of LP . Now it will be even more since its easier go gain.

My suggestion every 1000 LP or more, whatever you feel is fair; place a tab in tier 5 landclaim that has a button that exchanges a set amount of LP for either a single space debris or single meteor that lands close to your base locked to you.

Ideas and suggestions / NE volcano
July 08, 2020, 02:21:26 PM
Hi ,

This is my last suggestion today, apologies for bombing the board with posts!

I read ai enabled write some somewhere NE volcano will need some incentives.

My suggestion ( from someone who clears the volcano and even camps there a LOT ) is to just increase the prag drop from 43-46 to 53-55 and where the loot crates are in the middle add a third one and throw millitary crate in to the mix
(currently medical and science only)

Ideas and suggestions / Completionist reward
July 08, 2020, 02:02:29 PM
Hi,

My suggestion to give something unique to people who complete all the completionist items.

Maybe unlock further shirts ? Or something along these lines. Previously i would have said LP boost but LP gain is so well balanced in a27 now.

Maybe unlock a special decorative building or banner that recognises it.

Ideas and suggestions / Character Customization
July 08, 2020, 01:52:37 PM
Hi,

I know you guys have plans for character customization. But...

Just a simple feature request, to be able to select a shirt rather than being given one on random. I always end up with the butt ugly octapus one.

I lile the black one with the cog or the green one with the wingz

Hi,

My suggestiom is where we have the tabs at the top, to add another one which when clicked shows the last time each of the events occured.

Game discussion / ATP Energy Extraction Cybernetic
July 08, 2020, 01:34:15 PM
Hi,

In a26 i exclusively used heal + nano cybernetics. I felt these were the best ones and couple with Super H armor it makes the NE volcano a walk in the park.

Now i have realised there is a third cybernetic option.

I liked the nightvision one, TBH all the remaining options have an arguement for third place.

But then i read up on the ATP cyberneric and it fits my play style as i love my energy weopons.

After testing it today i can tell you it makes no meaningful difference.

It takes eons to gain a percent, and i dont seem to be getting hungrier faster either.

I think it needs looking at. Maybe increase the speed of both the energy production and hunger depletion.

Bug reports / A27 Super Heavy item cost !
July 07, 2020, 05:39:30 AM
I think somoeone has made an error. They accidently added a 0 to the super heavy armor HT requirements. Was it meant to be 2???

It currently costs more than a manuul ???

Bug reports / PVE Droids
July 07, 2020, 05:35:25 AM
This is not a bug , but an exploitable scenario. Not necesarily on purpose.


When you are using droids and they drop to the ground (when you have no inventory, or as i have observed, if the slot they flew out from has been taking by another item) other players are picking them up. This is 90% not nefariois as most people have automaton and it auto picks it up.

I was wondering in PVE if droids can be added to forbidden objects to prevent this.

Game discussion / A27 Gold
July 07, 2020, 05:32:03 AM
Im not sure the rate of gaining gold has increased. I spent 45 minutes mining to recieve 6 nuggets.

I just want to hear other people experiences. The people on the pve experimental server say the same.

Although , the only difference i see is the events have increased ? Is this tru?

Game discussion / A27 energy weopons
July 06, 2020, 12:20:17 PM
Im still undecided about the HT requirements but..

Ive tested the actual weapons took them to NE volcano killed different type of creep.

Laser Pistols is fekking AWESOME and if i can gauge the ease of gold gain compared to a26, it will probably be my weopon of choice. Its like an a26 laser rifle but seems stronger ( your going to nerf it arent you...)

Laser rifle is ok... but since laser pistol is better in use AND cheaper. Laser pistol will be the new rifle

--------


Suggestion, im not a game dev so these are just throw away ideas....maybe they will inspire you to another idea.

Give the a27 energy rifle the stats of the a27 laser pistol

Make the the laser pistol a charge weopon, the longer you hold down the more damage it does (to a point) and revert it to a slower shot laser.

OR

Same charge concept but instead of firing a single more damaging shots, shoots a multitide of laser beam when fully charged/held down.

OR

Clicking a creep lock the player while laser charges then shoots a single high damage beam. That OTK's say something with the hp of wolf

OR

Keep things as they are in a27 but give the laser rifle a chance to stun an enemy say every 3 shots.

Im going to be totally honest, in the current iteration i really like the laser pistol. If the rate of gold gain has gone easier and thus making HT parts easier, this will be the weapon i will use.

Basically in my humble opinion the laser rifle will be a26 version of laser pistols and ignored as things are.

So rather than turning the laser pistol (cool art design!)
In to what used to be the laser rifle; Give one of them a comepletey different/fun mechanic.

Bug reports / A27 experimental 2 minor bugs
July 04, 2020, 06:20:26 PM
Hi,

Related to PVE environment.

There are two minor bugs with drones.

1.) Drones can target forbidden objects like trees on a landclaim that a player has planted. Problem is if you target them by mistake they get stuck on them as they cant chop them down. (But they attempt to)

You have to select another item to recall them.

2.) The tier 4 drones display the wrong health, it is intermittent but happens regularly

If you create 4 new drones, even thought in your inventory they still show correct health, when they fly out they sometimes they show 20 percent reduced.

Its a minor big as when they return to inventory they show correct values.


Edit :

Please ignore no 2.)  I realised how this happened, user error.

Game discussion / Cement
July 04, 2020, 02:29:54 AM
Ok ive got a bear bug with 2 things so far.

First is the change to cement, i agree previously it was too cheap. But now its too expensive, we need to find a middle ground.

Maybe 250 of the 3 resources produces 150 or 100 even or maybe remove sand from the equation.

I have spoken to several people and they all agree its gone too expensive.


Second, now this is not my final comment as i have not yet tested it. But i was dissappointed to see my favourite weopon now cost 5 HT. The energy rifle...

Ive unlocked the tech but didnt get time last night to make one. Some people think that the rate of finding gold has increased? If this is true, it might take the sting out but i completely ignored plasma rifle because of the gold cost in a26. Im hoping as a tradeoff the durability has doubled or trippled (or x10 lol). If theres no durabity increase perhaps take a consensus amongst the players to maybe lower the HT parts requirment. In any case  i still dont see a case for laser pistol, IMO this should  cost no gold or less gold to convince people to use it.

I will craft one tonight and test it out.

Ideas and suggestions / Tier 4 farming
June 24, 2020, 02:06:00 AM
Hi,

I have an idea for tier 4 farming.

To unlock building and tech which when placed on a claim,

Tech: lets you plant on say 4 plots at a time

Tech : water 4 tiles at 1 time

Building (2 tile): when you press a button after selecting building it auto gathers the claim. This process can add a placeholder on the build queue and take an 30 mins in real time to complete. The items are kept in the building storage sort of like output items in building like oven.

Hi,

Is it possible to create a digital sign which is wider and able to write a scrolling looped message on it? Like the width of 2 digital signs side by side.
