Stuff I Really wish I’d known….
Just browsing and some of the "well duh" and "are you serious???" Things I REALLY wish I'd known earlier.
— note: feel free to shout out more stuff, I'll keep updating this list, the idea is to have a one stop shop for us to keep the stuff we really wish we'd known.
Additional sources;
1 – You can up the qty of things you build at once (on ps4/5 it's the r1, l1 buttons) – Verified.
2 – The indium drive includes a cadmium and emeril. You only need 1 drive, this one. – verified
3 – Atlas pass 3 will unlock atlas 1 and 2 doors/containers. – verified.
4 – You need an indium drive to use a galactic centre for any galaxy after the first 8 – semi-verifed.
5 – Residual goop -> viscous fluid -> living slime -> runaway mould -> nantes (refining) – verified.
6 – rusted metal refines into ferrite dust
7 – When you're offline every system is a first contact (some expeditions need this) – verified. – note, offline here means disconnect your PC/Console from the internet, so unplug its' network cable, or switch off its' wifi.
8 – you can upgrade your exosuit for next to nothing using a scanner mod on the Nomad exocraft (guide below by Fitz & Yarnham) – Verified
9 – You can use the Catalouge to filter your scanner to specific elements – DEBUNKED – it will provide a tool tip to tell you where you're likely to find it, but won't filter the scanner.
10 – Adding oxygen or carbon to a large refiner will up the output significantly – unverified
11 – there are 50 slots in a nutrient processor where you can store food and food type items. – verified
12 – you can refine salvaged data into nanites – Verified – 15 nanites per data
13 – mods on sale in a station re-stock when you reload the game. – unverified
14 – make the beam on your terrain manipulator small, you get a lot more resources. – Verified – on PS4/5 select terrain manipulator, and repeatedly tap L1 to make it as small as possible, you'll need to refuel it more often.
15 – Terrain Manipulator can be refuled with silicate {don't waste ferrite!!!} – Verified
16 – one that's come up a lot in the other threads… You. Can. Sprint. – verified.
17 – the "Base Archive plans" mission in your log is a good way to pad out your blueprints without spending salvaged data, and it will unlock storage boxes. (Guide below by AcrazyDude) – Verified.
18 – Melee'ing then using your jetpack {as the animation is still going} will push you further in your initial jump. – Verified
19 – Planets that have "Curious deposits" contain deposits of "runaway mould" – this refined directly into Nanites – these planets really need to be saved, build a base here!!
20 – Grab the glowing cubes on the tables – can be exchanged for planetary charts – Verified.
21 – your multi-tool mining laser will be much more effective just before it overheats, if you pulse it on and off as it's really hot to let it cool down, but not too much, you'll mine much faster – Verified.
