More deconstructors (and more questions)
Posted: Thu Jun 20, 2019 10:54 pm
Playing vanilla BT with a Dugong sub and for what I've read so far, is either you have a deconstructor on the sub you chose at the beginning or you don't have one at all.
No such device anywhere in the game at any destination one can travel to.
Is this correct? If so, please change that. After all, what are we supposed to do with all the minerals and such that are out there.
Next is the weld gas tanks: Where do you recharge them? There is a blueprint for empty weld gas tanks at the fabricator so there has to be something that refills them, right? (I'm aware that they can be bought at atations so thats not too big of a problem atm ;) )
And what about all the electrical stuff sold in the station's shops? Does all the goodies of that category have any function whatsoever or do certain things have to be implemented yet?
Today I also ran into a dead end twice. There was a volcano under water spitting big glowing rocks and going across it (or even getting closer just to see what would happen) seemed to be impossible because the passage was blocked by rocks above it. There was no other route in that sector and I had to get back to the starting point / abandon mission and choose a different destination on the map. I had the idea of maybe having to blast open a passage and started experimenting with C4, wire and switch but apparently these can only be used in certain areas such as stations and subs but not under water at all.
In the ruins, I discovered an Ancient Alien Weapon today and found that you can put it to use with one of their energy cells.
But what is all the other alien stuff good for? Are the artifacts of any use except when there's a mission to retrieve one?
The Moloch: First I thought this one can't be killed with Gauss cannons at all but after watching some YT I managed to hunt one down for once.
It somehow got stuck and wasn't able do much to my sub that time. But man, usually the Molochs beat my ship to pieces. How is one supposed to fight them and win?
It's also nearly impossible to see their health bar so I'm still wondering if they take damage through their top shell or solely from the underside.
So are we supposed to build our own subs in the editor to get certain things done or even beat the game?
Again, please help.
Thank you.
