what will this run "okay" on. i've had my kid playing/homeschooling on an old laptop of mine with an 800 series nvdia card. I need to get her a new computer at some point for her schooling and i wouldn't mind getting one she could play things like this on it.

what are the system requirements like? can it run on generations' old nvdia cards? will it run on a 2000 series? or a 3000 okay on a laptop? heh
I'm still running a 2070 super and never had any performance problems during EA, my game pass is lapsed so I can't tell you how well it runs the launch version but typically the launch version is optimized a bit better.

Probably best to check out the Gamepass version or a cracked version to be sure but yeah a 20xx should be running it without too much issues if you're ok turning off some options and/or running DLSS on performance.

i did see that the pal world specs required 16 gigs of r am and wanted 32....and with the ram crazyness going on, the built laptop sites do not seem to want to throw in ram on olde models haha. i found a plethora of 30xx and 40xx but they didn't have 'options' to add more ram. i presume they want to clear out the old models and only offer (overpriced) ram on the new, also overpriced video card laptops.

Laptop specs tend to be more annoying to deal with. I think 16gb should be "enough", that said you might run into issues, the game doesn't fully leak memory but it seems to increase from the initial ~10gb on a fresh start to like 15-16gb after a few hours but it might flush more on lower systems. Some older posts from release state that even 8gb ran "fine" but well with more stuff added it's probably not a good idea(and in general 8gb is just not enough nowadays if you want to play games).

It's like fast travel in the fallout/elder scrolls games. It's in the game, therefore I am forced to do it while I complain about how it ruins the game.
Fast Travel is different, it's a main feature, skipping progression via cheese is entirely self inflicted stuff. It's like cheating(even legit cheating like turning the server settings all the way up and such) so it's really not hard not to do it imo if it's going to ruin my experience, meanwhile it's nice as an option if for example I wanted to do a fresh start(with the map being static though I'm not sure why I'd bother).

Man there's really a bunch of stuff to do in this game. I had been progressing pretty quickly but hit a wall in terms of gear so started putting some effort into my base stuff because once you get to 40-50 range you start needing serious amounts of ingots for everything.
Yeah once I went from the initial content where Pal Metal was top tier to Plasteel I got sticker shock on how long it takes. It's definitely a transition to "post game" content where they designs everything for people who had already finished the game and had highly evolved pals.

It's fine though, it rewards you for not just blitzing through the content and instead focusing on the "Pal" half of "Pal" world like you're saying.


I'm at level 60 now and just ramped up my Plasteel production. I've been mostly focused on breeding pals and am finally getting some top tier pals with perfect trait. 3x Renjishi with Artisan, Remarkable Craftsmanship, Work Slave and Insomnia can blow through a lake of oil to make stacks of Plasteel super fast with the Gigantic Furnace.

2. base locations are basically prefab. you CAN build anywhere. but ore locations, and flat areas are very much preset, that there are correct and incorrect base locations. (foundations need to be functional as floors, so npcs don't clip through floors constantly on hill bases.) and there needs to be more ore spawns.
Coming back to this, I'd say that this is no longer the case at the midgame that I'm at now. You can build pretty much anywhere that isn't stupid and the placeable resource buildings can support you. There are still advantages to building in areas near resources but it's not the massive benefit it used to be.

Yea the only real need for a 2nd base I've found is for oil fields, everything else can be handled with the production mines now more or less.

The electric cost on the high pressure oil rig though is absolutely not worth it, way easier still to just plop down a basic outpost on top of 3 oil nodes somewhere
