Comment on The #Starfield gameplay loop
BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I put 22 hours in over the weekend and the travel is the least satisfying. Much of what is described can be mitigated a bit by walking back to your ship and so on.
I am able to fly away from a location every time but sometimes my ship doesn’t “land” I just load in front of a door and I’m not sure why yet.
That said in the first ~10 hours the gameplay loop wasn’t my jam and I wasn’t sure if I’d even like the game. The last 12 hours have been fantastic and I’m hooked!
I have modded the game a bit though. Here is what I’ve modded.
There is a green tint I removed
I darkened the gamma as the darks were not very dark and the whole game was too bright
I modded damage from all weapons to be increased, people and ships were too spongy for the guns to feel real. And I die a lot more now which is fun!
The UI runs at 30fps no matter what so I modded it to run at variable to match my current FPS
I added in DLSS for a bit more performance (about 10fps it seems)
I also gave vendors unlimited money because I’m a dirty cheater and I was literally piling up crap on the floor of my ship because I didn’t have enough room and I didn’t want to just leave it on the planet

How did I not think of this!! I’m also horrible at hoarding every shiny thing I see, this is going to be so clutch.
Lol! With object permanence (or whatever it’s called) everything was right where I left it. But the AI people as they boarded my ship would kick shit all over the place. It was getting intense.
What happens to all the stuff when you make edits to your ship and the cargo hold is full?
It still goes to the cargo hold. You won’t lose anything. You just end up with a cargo showing 700/400 or similar.
The first thing I did was expand my ship’s cargo to like 2000 by adding 4 of the biggest cargo holds available.
What are your specs? I'm interested in trying the DLSS mod but I have a notebook 2080 so not sure how much that will help.
A little different, I’m running a 10700k with a 4090. All desktop versions.
I’m going to install it on my laptop which is a Ryzen something with a 3060. I hope to get it to 60fps at 1080p but I’m not sure I can get there. My desktop gets to 90fps at 4k.

As far as I can tell this depends on which marker you select to land at on a planet. For instance New Atlantis has a ton of markers, such as The Lodge, if you choose that, it will load you in at the door, but if you choose New Atlantis, that should land you at the spaceport.

That’s the location I’m struggling with, I’ll look for it next time but I swear I don’t see spaceport. I’m not the brightest rock though.

Well the location for New Atlantis is not called Spaceport, it’s just called New Atlantis. When it expands, for me, it’s near the middle of the lists of POIs that are stacked at that location.

Theres an option to hide helmets and suits when in a non dangerous atmosphere in the inventory somewhere. I comes up at the bottom when you select the suit slot I think. Easy to miss

If you select the planet from your ship while in orbit and land from that menu, it plays the landing animation and you start off in your ship. If you use the map in the pause menu to do it, it will place you outside your ship, even if it’s the landing zone.
