How do I get an improved multitool? How to scan for crashed ships? Found out you can build a scanner (orange type) but has only limited use and scan types. Used a mod to find ships, ship locator mod the orange gas one. Found 6 ships only 2 were better. If you shoot the red box at the ship site you get CTD. Spending lots of time just trying to find drop pods and make some $. Very little info given with this game. Don't want to build a base and hire flunky's.Its the simple game mode or is it? I could make some progress with the older version game. This is getting annoying.
Yeah, you pretty much nailed it. That's the mechanics. The way to avoid total boredom is flight-mods and fuel refill fixes, and then fly around exploring the edges of the game-universe, and figuring out the backstory, languages, and so on. And.. those mods don't actually work now. So a real bummer, that.

But apparently it's all good because STRONGHOLD AWESOME STRONGHOLD. Which supposedly was what people bought a space-exploration game for.

On the 4th planet found a trans tower and it gave me a crash site finally. I already found 6 ships using the mod. Buildings are fewer by a lot. Its a lot flying around to find pods and ships and trading posts to upgrage the multitool. Still don't know how the advance mining laser gets made. You have to hit every building to get tech. One resource needs HazMat gloves to harvest wtf?
The way I feel about this update was that Sean Murray was none too happy about how fast people were spreading out into "his" universe and thus to reduce people's ability to explore he made the game much more tedious and difficult even in normal mode.

The price of player ships being bought increased in price to levels way higher then the already high price, mining some materials requires a new multi tool update which in turn can only be obtained from following their npc quest lines.

Those npc quest lines also broke my game to some extent, in doing them somehow my jetpack and hazard slotted items in my suit somehow transferred themselves over to my ship slots and stopped functioning and were not able to be destroyed to free up slots, had to find a crashed ship with 48 slots, same as I had and transfer stuff over to new ship to get the two ship slots back.

Too little too late is a good expression when thinking about this situation, I for one want to see the promised features in game....

Which NPC's N&P? I turmed down the atlas first off. Ships are harder to find unless you use a mod. Only found 2 ships using trans towers which are scarce. Finally got to 20 slot ship while in my first system. Emeril is a trip to find. Its under ground and in water.Did find 1 mound sticking up. Lots of minerals under the ground.Shows up in a scan when your on the ground.You need to grenade your way down to reach it.
You make crafting terminals and place them in your base, they need a correct race npc or alien if you prefer and they are hired from your regular space stations that you visit in each system.
