I only build ships and lucky they come fully stocked but I still get very frustrated with door placements and it takes me ages and many attempts to get a proper flow inside. I hate double-floor ladders and also hate loops.

Example: My current ship has 3 floors but only 1 floor ladder for each join:

Habs in Yellow
Red: Ladder location for Base -> Mid
Green: Ladder location for Mid -> Top

Took easy 3 hours to get the right internal look and flow. I do enjoy designing my own ship just wished there was a manual way of placing ladders/doors.

Your ships look awesome! I tried the ship builder once and noped out of it :ROFL: Think I prefer just buying one that mostly meets my needs. The Narwhal is working quite well for me now but was super annoyed that I had to edit it cause the turrets weren't facing forward and I was baffled why the auto firing thing wasn't happening.

Contemplating trying to edit it to to add more storage but don't enjoy pulling it apart and then trying to get it back together and looking like a ship rather than a bunch of boxes with an engine. Mostly I just want to go shoot things and this is disrupting that :laugh:

Thanx.

Was the Kepler R that did not look like a Stroud-Eklund ship, and seeing that I was responsible for the f-up guess was only fitting that I fixed it.

I mean look at it

Cant be caught flying around in that even if it was free.

yikes! Looks like something I would "design" :ROFL: You seriously improved it!

I didn't even attempt item placement. Tried a few times in Skyrim and I don't think I will ever trust that it will work in a Bethesda game :ROFL: Things fall on the floor, I walk around them until eventually on a reload they end up hopefully back where they were. Sorry you wasted your time though. I was annoyed when I built a fridge and couldn't store food in it.

You can store food in a fridge though. Dumped all the food and drinks from my inventory in mine. :laugh: Been carrying the stuff around since I started the game so was nice to finally get rid of everything.

Damn, item placement in this game has been the most challenging mission so far haha.

Haha that's my current, looks like kak but some of the best stats in the game. I don't care what it looks like as long as it's functionally awesome.

Edit: the Kepler S looks much better but you lose too much in stats, so I opted for the R...

Okay, both of you are hopping on Discord with me. We need to sort this out.

Nah I'm good thanks. Will figure it out. Still need to start building some sort of base too eventually.
 
wbot said:
The Bethesda way though: drop your food on the floor first and drag it into the fridge. Just like in real life.

In real life I just drop it on the kitchen counter, it magically warps into the fridge.

Mind you that is exactly the way furniture appears in my bases too.
 
On the subject of food, am I the only one that dump all food on the ground.

Only use med packs, Stems and bandages, my Toon last at ate food at level 10 or there abouts. Cant be bothered with the +3 bull.

Some of the perks are decent, like the extra XP. But as a healing item, yea it's basically useless.

There's a mod that actually makes food useful.

I'm the exact opposite, eating a zillion things mid-fight so I can save every med pack for some future possibly dire situation :laugh:

Got Level 4 Rejuvenation & Cellular Regeneration when out of combat and my armor auto consumes Med Packs when health is low in combat = always topped up.
