Due to the overwhelming positivity on my last post, I found some old screenshots from week one of the NEXT Update

I went in knowing this could be bad.
Welp. It happened. I’m guessing I put in at least 30 hours. I progress really slow, cause I like to farm and grind a lot, my exosuit was still kinda weak with technology. It was touch and go for the first few hours, figuring out how to survive. After getting some batteries and life support cells, I was past the surviving part and moving on to getting the good stuff. I scored on a hot rod star ship and was mostly about getting it maxed out.
I was sure I could brave any extreme planet, I was doing fairly well with keeping a good stock to keep my tech charged. I just left an extreme planet with 606 F super heated storms to get some good resources and made a sweet new animal companion there that was following me around for a couple hours.
So I got what I needed, went to a new system to buy new tech, scanned planets and found a new extreme planet to land on with an extreme storm already happening and thundering. I seized the moment to start getting storm crystals, despite barely being able to see with the storm, but I can see the flashing storm crystals. Then I guess a third storm was announced on top of the two already happening, as soon as I started grabbing storm crystals, which I didn’t think three storms was possible.
It was a wind storm with barely time to react, even if I were to dig a tunnel, I was immediately swept up. I was already a couple hundred meters away from my ship when I got picked up. I knew I was in trouble, frantically trying to use my jet pack as I’m being tossed around trying to avoid hitting the ground. Trying to get out was not happening either. I have been in wind storms before and I purposely jumped in and had fun with it, but this wind, even I tried to run, was not letting me go. Losing sight of my ship, I panicked, fumbling controls; I kept myself from hitting the ground a couple times. I was trapped by a hillside and before long, slammed me on the side of it, I heard “shield down” and the screen faded to black. I took a couple minutes to process what just happened.
Maybe I can take it as a learning experience. Though when you’re in permadeath, anything can blindside you at a moments notice. I’m guessing the lack of exosuit upgrades and underestimating damage taken in permadeath was my fatal mistake. I nearly ended my game when I got overzealous with the jet pack and miscalculated a drop just over a hill. It wasn’t a long drop, but I was down to a sliver of life.
I don’t know if a maxed out exosuit will tank a long fall, or save you from being slammed from a wind storm.
Now that I got that off my chest, I feel a bit better. I guess when you get knocked off, you get back on that horse. Maybe a bit more weary about acting reckless, in permadeath anyways.
I think the next approach, I’ll focus more on maxing out health and damage protection and less finicky about flashy starships. Being more cautious about extreme planets as well. I learned you can be taken by surprise and most threats on other modes are not a joke when playing in this mode. Better luck next time I guess.

Lately I’ve been stumped about what to do next in my space walking research. I saw a post recently about a new base at a planet intersection I had never been to, so I decided to check it out. I warped over and after exploring the base, I went to …

I’ve been researching staff colors and classes, but it seems a lot of the information I’m finding may be outdated, or I’m just not understanding it correctly. I’ve read that the staff head determines the build, but if I mark a staff terminal for future use, IE. I want to come back when I free up inventory space, I can’t seem to build the same staff again.
Here’s my scenario. I was exploring autophage camps, and found a particular staff color combo I liked. I dropped a save beacon, jumped up to the Anomaly to disassemble an A class MT I wanted to break down rather than exchange away. I then returned to the camp to claim my shiny new staff, but I can’t recreate the build!
In actual fact, this camp had two staff builds I wanted. One was color specific, and the other had a supercharged slot layout I wanted. I cannot recreate either.
For the record, I play on GOG. Do the staff builds vary from planet to planet like regular multi tool cabinets do?

I honestly don’t know if I’m wasting my time crafting frigate upgrades.
I select frigates that match the mission type, making sure to have a 5-star rating. Most of my ships are S-class now. I add 3 frigate upgrades to each mission (also matching them to the mission type). I have several freighter upgrades that help with various things.
I genuinely don’t know if I’m getting better returns by including the frigate upgrades or not. I left them off yesterday and I actually got more stuff.
I just wonder what’s the best way to maximize the success of frigate missions.
