Death stills man. I make like 120k water an hour

I am slowly learning the game. Just pissed me off to be in a large area that had no flowers on the ground despite the crashed ship with like 8 NPC's inside to kill. I spent to much time exploring and hoping to just find water inside the area. No real loss save for time.

As a general rule, you’ll find water in testing labs and sometimes in various NPC bases. Crashed starships and small bandit camps usually don’t have any

My midgame base was here. If you're looking for a good spot, it's amazing. Aluminum spawns directly north, iron south (small desert crossing), crystals are a bit of a drive to the east and then NE to the basin, a ton of carbon directly east, a small bandit camp that spawns 1 or 2 (for blood or bodies), flour literally right next to you, and those blue circles are (by memory) where I think the dew spots are. There's an abundance of them. Only problem is you can basically only fit 1 base there. But you could also build on that carbon island, or to the west on that island between the trade post. Or hell, I think you can build next to the trade post too.

There's also a T4 (I think?) bandit base or whatever you call them just to the north (not the one on the ledge) that you can grapple onto the level just below the top, go down into the stairs (the mobs on the top level won't use the stairs for some reason), and then you can kill just 2 mobs for an awesome chest.

LOL now the PVPers are reeeeeeing about the game and Funcom is going to release a statement soon, regarding all the DD changes.

JFC. These bozos should've just done PvP and PvE servers like everyone suggested.

I've been having fun playing hardcore style. There's no official mode I just delete my character if I die.

Sometimes I'll be able to go back and find my previous base and take it over, but often I either can't find it or someone else grabbed it.

My funniest death was being a fresh-across-the-gap newb and going into the rift to find a place to build. I was on the surface and started a little base and was driving my crappy bike around getting rocks when I got hit by a sniper round.

I boosted away and looked around with binoculars and couldn't find whatever shot at me. It was a big flat open area. So I bandaged up and kept on making stuff.

Needing metal I salvaged a wrecked truck, and as soon as I cut the final pieces and it all fell apart, I instantly died. There were 2 snipers INSIDE the wrecked truck haha.

BTW what are these places on the rift surface? Barracks 69 etc? Faction fighting places? There was a sniper in a floaty tower above me but it never shot at me.

Big oops:
My friend Nox rescued me, flew me a looted mark 3 inventory module

No cup holders?

no need to cupholder when you drink your own suitpee

Rift was a Harkonen/Attreides battlefield, so there are a bunch of ruins. I presume Harkonen won because theirs is the only active base in the rift

When I died to those buried-in-a-truck snipers, I noticed they were Harkies. So do both sides shoot at you out there? I'm really bad against snipers.

just keep a shield up and the snipers have to depend on poison pinging you to get ya

tho i'm sword man mcmelee so my shield doens't ever go down.
