I’m curious what little neat things you guys have found or adopted while playing.

Could be for base building, finding ships or multitools, or whatever.

What’s your favorite?

Edit: I recently found out you can shut down Sentinels on a dissonant world, but the dissonant resonators stay up, so you can run around whacking all of them without retaliation. Lots of frolicking from group to group picking up loot from dead Sentinels and unarmed dissonant resonators.

It also completes all the Autophage “kill 8 sentinels” quests in one go if you’ve stacked up on those.

      I am min maxing my jetpack to make this travel more viable than sprinting, it can launch you up steep mountains super fast.

      Useful how?

      Asking b/c I think my play style is different from yours, so the advantages aren’t immediately coming to mind for me.

            I won’t do it justice via a text description, but there are YouTube videos that include it as a tip.

              YouTube’s been bitching about adblockers recently, so I’ve low-key been avoiding them :: insert howling wolf-cub meme here ::

              I imagine with some fooling around I can figure it out now that I know it exists.

    Using a controller + Steam Input for base building.

    Steam’s controller configuration allows you to set multi-button macros for controllers, which means you can use glitch building techniques easily, with a single press of a controller button, instead of having to time a key press + mouse click perfectly.

    1. find a pirate station with a high value smuggling mission
    2. keep accepting and canceling mission, filling inventory with the smuggling good
    3. warp home to a base with a place to sell

    makes tens of millions in like half an hour with almost no setup. Just need a base with a warp and a trading post. Haven’t played in a bit so maybe patched out but it wasn’t in the major update prior to this one.
