Some actions that will need improving on for future updates:

-> Revisiting Talos = I'm sure that when Strabo becomes available, we'll have a need to keep the food synthesizer functioning there, but for now, it just makes sense to grab it and take it with you.

-> Revisiting Lost Rover = Right now its a bit out of the way to collect 3 ration packs and 2 empty power cells. So either have a more optimal route between Talos and there, or maybe tie it into the VTOL (Astrape) wherein it needs as much extra cells loaded in it as possible for recharging cycles.

-> Revisiting Laurion = Once you've acquired the Artifact, there isn't much value in visiting it. If you visit it, then it takes longer to reach Santorini and Astrape, than just driving straight from Talos to Santorini. And in fact, if you try to go from Laurion to Dam to Astrape, you run out of food and water, so that isn't even an option... so you need to visit Santorini right now to get the super motor, to even reach Astrape before supplies run out.

It is possible to go -> Laurion -> Dam -> Astrape direct.

Install double Solar Panels (and [redacted] to boost them). Go to Lost Rover to get extra cells for rover. Install Water Recycler (not generator). Charge up to 600 and set off.

The point of the game is not to go everywhere every loop. It's not an issue if some areas become useless for a while. It's your choice which ones you do and don't visit.

To an extent that is true. However, some things really feel pointless to do, as the time cost of doing them, doesn't make the trip valuable enough for the food/water lost doing it. Like visiting the Lost Rover more than once. I think post-content visiting the Lost Rover makes sense, as the artifact placed on the generator, would mean that you generate power from fuel cells at such an accelerated rate that having extra power supply, would be useful.

But outside of this, there isn't much value in current content.

I expect that some places that feel pointless now, will feel less so, when more major locations come available. Like Strabo looks like a huge distance (based on red line) from Talos, so revisiting Talos for a resupply point and needing extra cells for extra power storage, might make sense to visit it then.

you can use the empty power cell to fix the VTOL and recharge the power block

the lost rover not that useless

yeah buuut you kinda can just.... use the battery on Laurion generator (to get that water filter running) and use THAT spent battery on the Vtol (alternativly if I can't read that you need 2 batteries you can just fish it up from the dam)

warana89 days ago (1 edit)

yeah (but you have 100 power less in rover though)

I personally actually found use going to the rover, since it left me with enough max power storage that I could charge the brick without using the solar panel upgrade.

Granted, I also didn't realize you could take a faster route until after I already got the 3rd artifact, so it might not be as necessary as I thought.
