The mountains can go strawberry float off. Found myself progressing through the story quickly so I can get off this area.

Heartman, wtf dude.

The later episodes are shorter than it was at the beginning. I think I’m about 4-5 hours away from the end.

And that’s the main story done and dusted.

Fantastic game. I thought the story would be difficult to follow but I understand it very well.

As expected, the end is a LOT of cutscenes as usual. So beware if you are planning to go to bed early or something you have to do... don’t finish it. Make sure you have plenty of time. :lol:

Now it’s all about the grind, to get the platinum.

I'm currently at the start of Episode 11 which is the Vietnam one. How long do you think it will take to complete the game from here? Hoping to do it tonight but might not be able to if I have more than 4-5 hours left.

6 hours, That include the cutscenes.

But I like how some of the end scenes is interactive.

Cool, thanks. That might be a bit much to complete in one sitting so I might have to spread that across tonight and Sunday possibly.

Just starting building the rest of the roads, so it will be easier for me to transport around the central belt and try to get my network bandwidth increase so I can set up an network of ziplines to get the Legends of Legend rankings.

The material requirements for some of the roads is strawberry floating ridiculous. Some of them want about a thousand crystals, along with a few thousand metals and ceramics, then for that build you about one or two hundred meters of road.

Are you playing online? Usually when you uncover new roads to build it's not connected online yet. Just wait for other folks to help contribute mats and some of the requirements aren't as egregious. That's been my strat. Also helps to regularly take down Mule bases for mats. I've currently got the main road from Lake Knot to South Lake Knot all done and it feels hella satisfying to zoom from a to b

I'm like almost 70 hours in, just a bit into Ep 5 and not feeling a single ounce of burn out or boredom. This game has all it's damn hooks in me. Right now I'm trying to get full 5 star connections with every facility before I move on more into the story. Not so bad once you have premium deliveries unlocked. Pretty much got all of west and south Lake Knot done. But need to go back to Port Knot to finish those too. I forgot how much more treacherous this place is. Nothing some Zip Lines can't fix >,> Also I can't believe I completely missed Ludens Fan aka Geoff Keighly during my first run in this place lol.

Yeah I'm playing online, but even then the roads aren't even halfway to the materials needed, and even 50% of the ask seems ridiculously excessive.

I did hit a Mule camp, but it had nothing but fucktons of Special Alloys that I have zero use for yet.

The Mule camps outside Timefall farm and North Lake Knot usually have tons of Ceramics and Metals to farm from. Also I recommend rasing connection with the Weather Station as he gives you lightweight metals of 1k each. The Film Director also gives out high dense metals too. Another thing worth regularly checking are shared lockers for mats from other users. You'd be surprised just how much stuff people donate.

Don’t worry about the roads until later on.

You’ll get a shitload of materials.

Also wait until episode 5, and you’ll discover a new form of travel.

I just got to episode 5 and found out about the Ziplines. Would still be nice to get the roads set up for transporting bucket loads of cargo by truck though.
Might do as suggested above and get my levels up with the Weather Station and Film Director, by setting up some Ziplines because strawberry float that terrain.

Given that Sam is literally the clumsiest human who ever lived it's amazing he survived that.

just went through the forest before the wind farm
creeping around the bt's, in the rain. beautifully atmospheric
i feel like im avoiding them more by luck than judgement at present though
is it my imagination or do they sometimes pack up and move about in little streamy wisps? hard to tell with them fading in and out of view

also has anyone fallen in a water source while being grabbed by bts? :dread: at what i saw before i reset the console in a panic :lol:

Also you can farm crystals easy. Just get a BT grab you and fight the “ boss” and while defeated there will be crystals growing out of the ground. But then I have the assault rifles and stockpiled my blood by resting often.

I haven’t got any problems with materials for the road as I did a lot of material deliveries and recycle gear I picked up from the mule camps. The roads is almost done in my game.

The mountains is a pain in the ass as I haven’t done any deliveries hence the bandwidth is low and unable to set up zip lines until I’ve levelled up. Some faculties only go up a 1/5 of a star despite hauling a rather large amount of cargo.
