Would really appreciate some advice (lemmy.world)

Hey guys. Looking for some guidance or a point in the right direction for it please.

I got to the center, I'd already done lots of the side missions (autophage etc). I wasn't sure what to do in the 2nd galaxy so spent some time building a base and a little earning quicksilver. I then saw the void egg for purchase.

A Google search compels me to buy it (it's almost all my quicksilver) as it starts a new quest. I stopped reading as I don't want spoilers but I'm guessing it's the whole live ship thing. I don't really care what it is, what I want is more quests so I'm happy either way.

The advice I'm looking for is regarding other things to do, now I'm in the end game. Are there other missions that I can start like this? I initially started playing when the game first came out. Then stopped, way before all the updates (next / live ships etc), and returned recently after world's p1.

Thanks in advance

Expeditions are a main draw.

As an "open universe" game, it helps to set your own goals. Many people work to find the "perfect ship". Others try to max out their frigate and fleet.

I decided to build a farm and mining operation that generates everything needed for top-tier manufactured goods. 20 min of base-hopping and crafting now nets me roughly one billion. This is enough to let me not worry about funds for a while.

Another fun thing to do is wander about with a friend. My brother and I routinely do derelict missions for fun.

It just boils down to "find what you enjoy doing and do that."

Cool thanks for the advice! I've not done much with my frigate actually, despite getting an s class by chance really early in the game (when I first started playing). I'll look into that as well. Cheers

What are you farming in 20 min that gets a billion credits?

I set up a Stasis Device farm and can get ~300 million in about 10 minutes. Just curious if I can do something a little more efficient.

I have a multilevel farm (each level has 8 domes, filled with enough plants to make 5 stasis devices). I also have three gas & mineral farms for each of the required non-biological pieces.

Sure, 20min is a touch of hyperbole, as there are some steps to get the carbon ready, harvest everything, etc. Once I have it all in my inventory, I can generate roughly 10 at a time. By the time I'm done, it's about 20min. I then take some time to sell across a few systems.

Have you been doing the expeditions when they're live?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No not yet. I'll look into those. Thank you

Expeditions are active only for a limited time. Now would be a good time to do the current one before it's over.

Keep an eye out for expeditions with each update, you will get to unlock new things which then transfer to your “main” character

OK thanks. I'll look into it.
