Still trying to figure out how to get this installed on my HostHavoc server.

This also, in my experience, removes the 'spooky music', because you resaved a modified version from creative using this method.

You can do it, but it requires a bit of work to take over the POI, then save it in the factory menu as a blueprint, then spawn it in creative and modify it such as removing the NPC spawners, if they are there, then resave THAT new version, then swap the files with the one in survival. It takes some work, but in single player at least, it can be done. I have had games with half a dozen of each version of the best POIs, all done by swapping the files. You can even make bases into functional CVs, even without structural integrity so it becomes an actual CV.

@09Klr650, unfortunately, you cannot remove the ambient "music" of a POI, even after taking it over.

Still on my 1.7 playthrough, will eventually start a 1.8. But a question if I may. How do you turn off the "spooky sound effects" once you core and take over one of the derelict trade stations?

Takeing a look at 1.8.

@derpimess, If you didn't see, it's up now. lol.

sweeet

@derpimess, I'm actually working on this right now. Hopefully by the end of the week it will be done (if not sooner).

any eta on the 1.8 update ?

Very happy with the fixes to the specialization missions this update. Keep up the good work!

@jedi22 No, I have ran this scenario for many years with no issues related to hosting.

Nice...

@Jakewhistler, right now, the statuary thing is a "secret" that I've been actually telling everyone. lol. Eventually, during one of the mid-game missions, I plan on having it actually inform the player of the effect of statuary.

@KnowItAllDM Thanks! I'll keep a look out. I haven't gone past my planet's orbit yet, but I'll keep an eye out for the statuary. I didn't know about that, thanks! :)

@JakeWhistler, For SV Fuel, there's not really any good crop options. But if you find a Volcanic planet, you can harvest the rocks for Oil Shale that can be made into Gasoline (for HV/SV only) or Diesel (for CV/BA only). Also, to reduce CV/Base fuel use, Find Ancient Statuary and add it to your CV or Base. The more you add, the less energy you use.

@KnowItAllDM I'm looking to grow fuel on my Orbital Station for CV's and SV's. I've got the fuel cell stations running already, I saw you build one in your video's, so I though to put it in space for constant power. :) They're slow to produce a signicant quantity of cells though, even with constant sunlight. I grow some Pentaxid on my base, and I'll probably grow some on the station, I don't know why they need grow lights but I'm happy enough to be able to just harvest it. :D Pumpkins are my other crop, for their yield. They *do* take a while to grow though, I've noticed. I haven't checked on their fuel output though.

@Jakewhistler, So, if you're trying to grow fuel for a CV or BA, I'd do one of two things.

1: If you're an Engineering Specialist, set up a solar farm with 15 solar panels on the station facing directly at the star (some angling might be nessicary). Then use 4 Advanced Constructors to start creating Energy Cells from the solar power.

2: If you're JUST looking for crop-based fuels, Vegetables create Bio-Diesel which can be used in CVs. Pumpkins grow the most Vegetables per time period, if you're continuously picking them, but they do have the longest grow time.

Allso, at higher levels, Engineering Specialists can actually grow pentaxid (which is otherwise rare enough you probably would have to buy it from a Trade Station's Station Services).

@Jedi22, You are correct, that it is INTENDED for Single Player and Co-Op, but I am trying to make sure that it WORKS as a Dedicated Server as well. I know some other people have issues, and others don't. I think it has to do with server setup, but I don't know exactly what.

I've decided to turn at least part of the residential wing of my station into a crop growing area. In this scenario, what plants yield the best fuel crop?

so I am reading through this and I was using this on my server, I had a lot of issues with it, but I did noticed that it says for single player or co-op, anyone else experience a problem running it on their own server

@Meltor Seltic, this is an oversight on my part, it will be fixed iwth the next update.

@boyled I know the one you're talking about. I could give it another look if I can find it again.

There is a big SV that I don't know the name of that kinda looks like an X-wing on steroids. That thing usually comes with a shield and has plenty of room inside for storage and can hold alot of weapons.

What's a good SV for salvaging? I've got a Proxima Scout and the blue ECH ship, but neither hold very much and I'm constantly going back to the planet to empty everything. Shields and some weapons would be nice, but I need something with some decent storage.

Not sure if this is intended, but the ammunition for the special explorer weapon is still using Copper Ingots and not the Bullet Casings like most of the other ammo types.

@carcalodon, yeah, you can't land on a quarantined planet. you have to teleport down from the teleport station.

Getting to Vextar Orntell is part of the Medical questline. Once you are rank 4 medical it sends you there. You need to go to the orbiting quarantine station and take a teleporter to the surface. Once there you can leg it or find a HV or SV to fix and use.

I started on a temperate planet but it tells me to go to yersona. I have tried to go to vextar orntell and yersona. Neither planet will let me land on them and I cant seem to find anyone who will give me access.

@Carcariodon, if you didn't start on the Snow planet, it should be telling you to go to a different quarantine planet. (Arid: Resona; Snow: Yersona; Temperate: Vextar Orntell)

@carcariodon, It's the "Quarantine Planet" in the Snow Starter system.

Why would it tell me to go there already.. Thanks Ill look for that then.

@carcariodon From sector.yaml it writes yersona is one planet of Iode system.

I am on the 6th mission for the explorer and I need to land on the surface of yersona. Anyone know where this place is please?

@KnowItAllDM I'll watch and see if it's happening to anything besides that one tool. So far I haven't noticed any.

@Jakewhistler, sounds like a game bug. It's not happening for me (I disable it and it doesn't degrade).

@Carcariodon, I built it myself. I have it on my workshop called "Orbital Station Alpha"
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2790572280

Posting here just in case it's a bug related to this scenario: I've turned off Tool Degradation in the game's options, but it's still happening.

No i meant what poi did you use so i can spawn it in creative and look at what it is supposed to be built like. Sorry for the poor communication.

@carcariodon. It's the one called "Derelict Space Station"

I have just started playing this scenario and am having fun. I have a question though, what poi is the derelict space station that you turn into your base in the first starting system please.

If it helps at all, here's an up close shot of one of those white cubes that have been popping up in the game.

https://imgur.com/z3RaZly

I can't tell anything about them other than the multi-tool sees it as "Container" with 50/50 HP. It will use one shot if I zap it, but nothing happens and no sound is made when doing it.

@Jedi22, Yes, this is intended. Pentaxid and Promethium are VERY rare in this scenario (The Zirax have mined it all out).

@Jedi22 I am assuming you know that pentaxid and promethium are found on the sea floor of the deeper oceans on planets? I usually find it around any submerged Broken Engines. There is usually promethium rocks there as well.

Ya just saw that have to unlock the exploration part .... but when I went to start that it say it was waiting to be unlocked so i have to complete the advance training first I am assuming

Invest some unlock points into Pentaxid nuclei and set up a small farm for it somewhere.

Ya been to 20 systems and no pentaxid is this normal for this scenario?

A little confused...logged over 13k hours in playing different scenarios and playing this one I can't find Pentaxid other then 1 at time on the one moon...Is there some thing I am missing...????
