Baited by Cookies - Planet Crafter ep 20
Dividing our time between wreck diving and, apparently, baking cookies? Much easier now with teleportation, can attend to the base management loop in a more timely manner each time our inventory gets full from wandering the labyrinthine corridors.
Unfortunately, cookies are an absolute scam - it would take a long time and/or heavy automation investment to pay back the seed costs in TT, and the speed buff comes far too late when you already have so much movement tech by this stage of the game.

Because what we were missing was the ability to stop for a coffee while driving around the Mexican countryside... unfortunately the implementation feels lacklustre, there is nothing actually to interact with at the Coffee Shop location that I could see, and no new accolades to be won.

Luck was on my side with this one, both in getting a delivery straight off that went to roughly where I wanted, but also that it counted at all - it was not until highlighting that I realised that the delivery was listed as 199km but the minimum for the event is 200km... extending it by driving further out of the way does not usually count towards the total, so it must have snuck in on some mar...

Very difficult to see what you are doing😢
Apologies but I am not sure what you mean - the game kind of speaks for itself? Do you mean in my camera view? I just use an XBox style controller to play this game and am holding it in my lap - not much to see! I could use a controller input display capture but I feel that just distracts from the main game view.
Thank you for the description mate for mentioning the Map Code. Otherwise I will be lost in this video for it been too long to where the point @. Thanks again AJ...
Great video I enjoyed it!
What a real joy to see this, Thankyou for sharing, I use to live in Remuera back in 1978 through to around early 1990s. As child. Great time's going to that park, Bring's back happy memories. :)
Glad you enjoyed it :)
underrated but not good, i like forza but im playdsation so i cant play it therefore i think the crew motorfest is better
Personally I prefer Crew 2 to Motorsport, but yes it is a shame that Forza never crossed platforms.
@@AJChimaera they have mostly comfirmed they are bringing a forza game to all platforms. Also you mean motorfest not motorsport?. The crew 2 is better for 3 reasons only ( bigger map , crew 2) ( functional mirrors, crew 2) ( houses, crew 2 ). Other than that the crew motorfest is better in Almost every way.
Your perspective on this game as a speedrunner who doesnt like omptimizing was fascinating. Thanks for introducing me to this mod years ago when I first watched, it's made replays way more interesting.
That's so nice to hear, I am glad that it was helpful =)
The 70s BMW 2002 wouldn't have ABS but it would have a lot of brake pedal feel, which is pretty much required to stop quickly without ABS, which you don't get in forza I don't think unless maybe you have some fancy pedals or maybe could get it working with a PS5 controller on PC .
That sounds about right. My XBox controller is too numb, but I really do not have room for wheels and pedals, unfortunately
Speed from boots and jetpacks stack btw. The Tier 1 ore extractor is limited in what it extracts; I'll leave it to you to find out what aside from the base 5 elements unless you want me to tell you (just ask)
Yeah I figured out the extractor behaviour from seeing the T2 tooltip later on (might be in the next episode or might have been edited out - bear in mind that these videos were recorded weeks ago by now)
I only have a switch and hoping it comes to it. I am going to be watching this play through
<3
The blue chips schematics are semi-random; there are tiers of items (2-5 in each tier iirc) and withing each tier you are given them in random order.
Wow, you guys are fantastic. Like fine wine you keep getting better with age. Each time I see a new video I say this is the best. But darn if you don't always prove me wrong. Your next is always better then the last. Can't get enough of your performances. Hope one day ill be able to see and hear you live at one of you gigs. I'm 82 next month and I only discovered you couple years ago from a video my youngest daughter dent me on FB. Wow how I hadn't heard you before I don't know. Ojai CA is small town with a three hundred seating an large grounds for several hundred more to enjoy entertainers of all sorts. It would be fantastic if your band could book at Libby Bowl.
The "tip" given by the game for the jet pack is that the "displacement" is reduced with each tier improvement. This seems to mean that the jet pack's tendency to rapidly sink to a given above ground level is reduced or slowed down. It still seeks that given altitude but it's "coasting" ability is increased - slightly. It will gain a bit of altitude and coasting distance by looking up. The device would be more appropriately named a "hover pack". A jet pack would have no altitude limitations, but then it *should* use fuel, but doesn't ... so ... I've learned to suspend any technical knowledge to enjoy this game. I realize the developers aren't attempting to teach science or physics. The material requirements for advanced devices are more for gate keeping than any logical construction requirements. By-the-way, there is a way to get to the top of the rock maze, but only by either a jet pack exploit or getting stuck in a terrain glitch in the right place, and there is nothing to be gained up there except a nice view. The wreckage bridges you see is more for aesthetics, but it's an interesting challenge to get up on top. There are other solutions to the Super Alloy scarcity that you will discover later as you explore.
Yeah the jet pack is much more a concession to the fact the world is a large place to get around, and you don't have a vehicle of any sort. I wish that a basic rover was something you unlocked instead. Maybe with upgrades, and eventually you could get something like from out of Mass Effect. But I can understand not wanting to deal with vehicle physics or driving UI etc.
I'm also triplaning in my casual subnautica playthrough now... cant really go without it anymore haha
Haha yeah once you learn how it's hard not to, and the only reason not to is if you're using the sonar really. In my original casual run I used it as well, it is one of the first things I try in any game with that sort of vehicle.
Thank you 😊
❤️🔥🎶♥️🎸‼️
11:56 yeah could be a map of the PCF (middle), then the DRF and the TPP and then some minor sites scattered like the sactuaries... but I didnt count 100% correctly lol so IDK what everything would be
Yeah that's what I was kind of thinking, though if it is, it's missing the four one-way connections from the PCF. But if it was a power connection map then maybe that makes sense since they are powered from the PCF end (presumably the energy to sustain the portal comes from the end with the ion cube). And of course it is possible there are other facilities not within the map bounds.
The ultimate goal is to reach 5.00 TTi and build an escape platform. It stops giving goals after 175000 though.
Spoilers, dude. But yes, that is the end-game condition. The "ultimate goal" though is whatever you want it to be - there is a lot more to do than just make numbers go up, with a large map to explore.
@@AJChimaera I apologize for the spoiler. But I am aware there are a lot more goals than just reach the escape rocket (which is listed at the end of the Ti Progression). I really enjoy this game and am on my third full playthough, playing it on hardcore.
If CTO Yu wasn't such a wack job and/or Second Officer Keen was any kind of commandivg officer and had control of the situation there would have been 3 surviovrs.
in order to sucessfully pretend you've never played this game before you must pick up every mushroon you see.
Haha you're probably right - and scan every plant, and collect every egg.
Absolutely loved it , I went to this at eden park on the saturday
Thank you for this! Good music is always appreciated and the recording and editing is great :)
Well done to everybody involved !!
nice commentary man, looking forward to the rest of the game
Is that a fresh upload I smell. Oh right I wright funny comments because this CZcams account is 100% satirical hence the tacky profile photo. How do you make an egg-roll you push it. now laugh
I like this Mr_Smarty guy. The streamer is ok to. (I'm not sure if I'm in this vod I'm just hoping.)

The 2nd job pick location is supposed to be Spirit Aerosystems irl. Big Aerospace company in Wichita.
That is cool to know, I appreciate how they have made more efforts to tie in real locations.
Happy New Year AJ! hoping 2024 will be a good one for all of us. Also is this in Australia? oh wait Canberra is the capital of Australia. Damn I'm dumb. Was this filmed by Blundells Cottage? That building and landmark look unique enough that I think I geo located it. Not to sound creepy XD
You must be good at GeoGuessr 😆 Indeed this was in front of Blundells Cottage. There's a video coming that will show more of the area 😉
just imagine a truck coming at you with 170 kph hahaha in YOUR lane of the highway
This was a fun stream

It'll buff out XD

Forgot to subscribe XD. Currently traveling the bay area in game, for being one of the OG ats locations its so beautiful in game.
yeah even the base game areas hold up well, especially since they have redone half of Cali
I don't know who this AJ guy is but he seems pretty cool.
I don't know either but you might be right XD
Wow, properly with a gimbal, nice 👍
Cheers Matya <3 Yeah picked up a cheap mobile phone gimbal a while back to make these much smoother, much more comfortable to hold too!

Arigato, your videos are great too!
I have commented, and will continue to do so.

They say that the sea crown is rare. I found the sea crown in the starting part of the game. I am near the end and you led me to the pygmy fans. I haven't seen them before.
Glad to have helped you discover them :) The Sea Crown is not so much rare as it is tucked away in the bottom of just one of the red grass caves, to the north of the shallows. I think at that point a lot of people may not yet have the courage to dive too deeply into caves, and then by the time they do, the forget to look XD Which might be why for the enzyme they put some inside the aquarium, in case people never saw them before.
love ur content keep it up😁

Mama wracająca z wywiadówki:
You'll clean up trash a lot faster with grab than with selling. And it won't delete stuff you can sell.
Thanks for the tip, I'll try to remember next time. "It won't delete stuff you can sell" previously I had noticed on other maps that items I was disposing of via Grab had a dollar value, so I just got into the habit of selling it by default. Maybe they've fixed that now? But also I shouldn't really care since I have too much money, it is just a hard habit to break XD
So cool your the best
The cleaner should get paid enough to get on the Forbes list if this amount of work is only 10% of the whole job. Gotta respect the grind tho
I know, right? This would go faster if I was using the better washers, but I like to think Cleaner is saving for a house deposit so he won't have to keep sleeping in the van.
