Re: Marsbase Alpha
I was going to review it, but I wanted to get some multiplayer in before I do it so I can give a full review instead of just for the unmanned campaign
Spoiler- Unmanned campaign is slow as fuck and there are no tutorials. Plenty of bugs too, how am I even supposed to take microscope pictures of the atmosphere that doesn't even make sense

Re: Marsbase Alpha
I've had this for a while, I could never get the building figured. I enjoyed the rover builder tho, and then getting to drive is neat

You need to be looking at something for the microscope to work.
On that note- Mission to take microscope pictures of the 'sub-surface' area showed up. I cant get that because I cant burrow my microscope in places

Re: Marsbase Alpha
Building is pretty easy once you get the hang of it
Making a decent 3d printer is the hardest part
Also fuck beds they have killed me so many times
I have fallen through floors and have been catapulted into the ceiling several times now, and that's a bad thing when outside that floor or ceiling is something that instantly incaps you

If you're at the bit I think you're at, the escape shuttle, in the equipment room you've got all the shit you need.
The drill to take rock samples
A vacuum cleaner to take soil samples
And another vacuum cleaner to take air samples.
You then throw the samples into your lab, which is either in the main ship or you can use the one in the mobile lab vehicle.
When I played this though the map was bugged and didn't actually show the area you were in.
Also you can cheat a little on gathering fuel and oxygen, instead of gathering it from the rock and soil, which would take an age, you can decompose the methane and water on the lander and you vehicles to massively bootstrap your production of the stuff you need.
I keep looking at this from time to time but it looks like the MP is mostly dead, which isn't a surprise really.
Clunky building system (which is even worse now it takes you hours to assemble a full sized 3d printer), clunky resource system, clunky movement.
And the only things you can do are build more clunky buildings, trip over the tentacles of death that make up your ever increasing power/resource net, and grow potatoes.
I wouldn't mind giving MP another try though.

Re: Marsbase Alpha
I'm playing the unmanned campaign, where you have to slowly drive a rover around at 1.5m/s at most over 3+km distances. It also features randomly generated missions at times which can be literally impossible like microscope pictures of the atmosphere. Luckily the non-random missions are the only ones you need to do, and those are always possible.
You're talking about the manned campaign, which you can skip to or just do multiplayer. No building shit in the unmanned campaign either
