Obligatory notice: I play on Nintendo Switch. Now that I can do Nexus missions and earn quicksilver, are there recommendations on what I should work towards? I like that for most of the items I have to spend several days to get enough banked to buy stuff, but it makes me hyper-aware that I should be wise about it.
Like I already got the egg to get a living ship (love it!) and the -null- bobblehead because better shields seems like a nice thing to do for my ship, but what now? do I get more exhaust trails? Do I get more bobbleheads? What about the other backpack, I’m getting real tired looking at the default one.
I’d be very curious to hear about what order people picked things up in, or what made them make the choices they did. Anyone feel like sharing their preferred buys?
Hah, I’ve never gotten a bobblehead because I always use external ship view. I was today years old when I learned that they had a mechanical benefit.
I spend my quicksilver on building parts. I’ve gotten the few cosmetics for my traveler and ship that I need, but I really like having artwork on my base walls, so I buy all the posters.
I have some posters, but I’ve never put any up. Is there a trick to it? Like they don’t seem to snap into place like a wall or floor does. Got any pointers?
Mostly just: target walls. I often then put a florescent tube light – scaled down and rotated on the long axis – right above the poster to give it a gallery-like lighting effect.
Sometimes, depending on wall-building wonkiness, certain posters will clip through. Best thing I can suggest then is to put two flat-panels on the wall, overlapping and scaled down to just larger than you want your poster to be, then put the poster on top of those. Gives a nice “frame” effect. Buuuuuut that can be wonky too, and some posters will sometimes clip through the flat panels, for Reasons known only to HG.
Alternately, sometimes you can put a second poster on top of where the clipped one went, and that will stack enough that the second one sits “one top” of the wall.
Whoa whoa whoa! Scaling? Like there are building components I can make larger or smaller!? That’s it, I gotta start a creative mode save and just build for a while.
