Some neat tricks I've discovered and seen while perusing reddit:
- It's profitable to let concrete dry-out and destroy/sell the resulting slab rubble.
- With the new UV light you can use the wall builder to create a floor of dirt inside base for farming. Everyone was doing crazy builds in the garage, but the janitor closet is great and out of the way if you don't mind hallway hose.
- While scanning for signals, pressing the buttons to change coordinates will immediately stop and transfer velocity. No need to slow down for micro adjustments. During the final adjustments, press the yellow button on-screen to lock-in. It switches to the triangulated yellow-square, which is irrelevant for scanning AFAIK.
- In the event that it doesn't get patched, nail the keyboard/mouse into the desk. Physics-events can permanently wedge the keyboard (the noise... my save is ruined q.q) and the mouse is required to be up-right for use. Otherwise be mindful and use F6 to create multiple saves. Always good practice regardless.
- ATV tips 1, you can do jumps without damaging tires but simply bumping a tiny rock will cause damage. Listen for the sfx that plays and be mindful to avoid it in the future.
- ATV tips 2, solar panel currently regenerates batteries from nothing for infinite battery profit. Use this if you will, will likely be patched.
- If you are spatially-challenged as I am, summon the drone before going out on adventures. You will always hear the sweet purring of home, making it harder to get lost. :')
