Game to Discuss?
This week, let's discuss Lobotomy Corporation. The only game made in Korea which isn't a F2P 10k hour+ grinding MMO, it's kinda butt. Sorta a roguelike, though by any real standard it isn't. Discuss below, and vote in the pinned comment.

Doing the expedition right
now what the best way to get the 900 resources 
in one collection 
and what animal 
is it asking me to scan. I scanned a broodmother and that wasn't enough 
apparently

Just hammer away with a reasonably upgraded MT at a patch of trees or rocks and shit. It's hard to get under 900 in one beam if your MT is remotely decent.
Pain in the butt lol. There's an underground fellow on the second planet in the expedition starter system but they're a pain to find. I got one on a dissonant planet somewhat near R3 just by accident. It's not like the absurd corrosive blood requirement we needed to find like 2 expeditions ago. Still a pain but nowhere near as bad.

I did the first two phases last night and it made me realize that I'm an absolute r-slur for using the assault rifle over the shotgun.

Yeah lmao, scatter blaster is the unrivaled goat for pve. I can drop a walker with one fast firing clip.
Pvp is all blaze javelin, but at similar high levels of skill (or in a free for all) you'll see people breaking out the assault rifle with the burning mod and ricochet because it frustrates and confuses people

The good news is if I recall you'll get free S class mining upgrades for some other milestone rewards!

Yeah I'm currently taking out the big butt sentinels since I happened upon an agressive sentinel planet. Gotta
kill 4 but I took out 1 last night 
will probably get the other 3 this afternoon.
I'm just thankful they gave me the best gun the scatterblaster to start with

Kill 4 walkers cheese protip: kill all 5 waves including the walker, enter and exit ship, load save you just created. Wanted level resets and you can fight through another 5 waves. Repeat 3x.
Hardest milestone was the 50 kills in the Minotaur. Its aiming reticule seems to indicate "the shot can go anywhere on screen except in this tiny circle lol gl".
I did it on an airless planet with a combo of sentinels and biological horrors because the sentinels spazzed over me killing the horrors. It was pretty fun even with the ridiculous 10% accuracy cannon. Lots of using sentinel drops to heal though.

do I just wait for the optional objectives to complete? Looks like community goals? Or should
I go ahead 
and end the expedition?

No email address required.
You can end it, the optional is just community progress (invidivual contributions very limited) towards the stuff at the QS merchant which is Liquidator plate armor and flamethrowers for the mech. You'll be able to nab it on your main once it all unlocks.

Thanks for your recommendation, the game is good.
I still suck, but the game is good.

If it ends up clicking for you and you stick with it for an ungodly amount of time, you'll still be finding and learning entirely new things well past the 100 hour mark. This was the case way back in 2018 when we had no third person camera, no multiplayer besides vague orbs representing that someone else was in the vicinity, like 20 base parts and you could only build in predetermined flat spots, no character models, and like 5% the content and variety there is now.
Dissenters love to crow that NMS is wide as an ocean deep as a puddle, and while it's not like EVE level complexity (from what I understand about EVE), the systems at play offer a surprising amount of depth but they really are absolutely legion in terms of sheer quantity. Mid- and end-game play you'll always have like 5-10 self-imposed things you want to do or work on and you can just drop whatever you're doing at any time to go do one of those and return at any time back to anything else. I'll never claim that NMS is for everyone, but much of the criticism still leveled at it just comes from people who want it to be like Star Wars: Space Opera Game In Space when it doesn't seek to be that at all. It's very unique in what it is and if it hits right there's absolutely no end to things to do at great length and depth if the systems are engaged with fully.
Still though, even people who do want that Star Wars kind of experience seem to get around 60-80 hours out of their (relatively speaking) brief stint and it's hard to argue with the value especially given that it's 50-60% off for a few weeks every update.

I'd say it's good value, though I can definitely see areas where procedural generation produces a lot of repetition. At the same time there are a lot of features I've barely touched yet.
I do get a bit of a Minecraft vibe there, in that having a bunch of disconnected features creates bloat rather than a comprehensive experience. That said, it feels like segments like freighters or exocraft can be safely ignored without screwing up progression. Appreciate that.
I do wonder what they'll add next. It'd be nice to have planets which aren't just a single, endless biome.
