Видео

I made this video 5 months ago: on one hand I'd like to say "yeah why haven't they put this in yet?!" but on the other hand; stuff being leaked is no guarantee for it EVER going live and maybe more importantly: I would first like AH to bring the game to a stable point, both in terms of gameplay and how they treat the game in particular the balancing part. First they need to stabilize the patient before they can operate and add more stratagems (based on their own behaviour it would otherwise lead to more nerfs and buffs just prior to releasing something).

@@SirStefanGaming I agree, I just want the game to feel fun and exciting again. I want to look forward to the new major content and major orders, but it seems like AH don’t care

I'm sure they care at some level but they've created a big problem for themselves with the balancing. Walking everything back is near impossible. Dropping new major content is very dangerous now for AH because of the current state of the game. The player experience is not stable so adding even more unstable content is even worse. And if they don't add the Illuminate (for example) in the best possible way then I don't see why people would a) stick around if they are still playing or b) come back to HD2 or c) ignore HD2 and play something else. Space Marine 2 offers a largely similar experience in that you can co-op fight your way through hordes of xenos, plus you have both PvE AND PvP options.

Just to make sure I read this correctly: your max consumption is 2.366, your "consumes" is 1.302; what is the -1k? Is that your balance? There's no problem in your balance being negative; it's just the difference between what your power production buildings are currently generating and how much your entire base is capable of consuming when everything is running. Some buildings not running does not necessarily have to mean you're lacking power. For example, when a smelter's output is full (no drones taking stock or no conveyor attached) then it will stop working (resulting in a difference between "max consumption" and "consumes")

@@SirStefanGaming Thats not the probelm its the In night showing a -1k ish number with the electric symbol next to the already -2k ish number that is for what Im using during the night. my point was it keeps popping up saying not enough power even though I have 5k+ capacity now and i don't use more than 25% of the battery's during the night, If it was just unused buildings at the time it would have made sense but says not enough power. I have 102 fully charged everyday large batterys 🤣, 1 of the other problems I have turns out to be a bug where the hi-tech machine will not take in oxides by belt so thats why that machine wasn't working

@@SirStefanGaming Basically i have double my max capacity but then it still says im in like a 1k deficit most nights even though I have way more power than needed (battery's never drop below 80% now) , I have alot of stuff backed up so it might just be the game thinking I don't have power for them because they are full

View powermode is green or red?

@@xtradi ? don't know what you mean by that, all it says is not enough power then -900/1k power next to the normal -2k/3k power that it says i can use fine. I now have 7k max output, max consume is only like 3.5k and my batterys done even loose10/15% overnight now 🤣 I have enough power to do 2 full bases. they did send out an update last night, something about power not displaying properly so this might have fixed it

Glad to see it's not just me haha. The game itself is still fun even though Im stuck at soloing bugs at 6 but I do hope AH is able to level the weapons out in let's say 6 months AND before they decide to add major new content to the game.

For sure! Holiday with the family is the reason I was "out" for a couple of weeks but I plan on covering The Crust for the foreseeable future. I'm actually in the process of looking at all the changes and see if there's enough there to warrant a video about it. If not I want to do a follow-up on power and research.

Thanks for the support, we had a great mission!

Looks like you will have both; sandbox mode and missions with objectives. I wouldn't say it's just a fun-project aka an engine test for the devs to check out UE5.

August....Blues Brothers: what?

Seriously, I'm curious what you mean by your comment :D What do you mean by "blues brother's meme" in this context?

@@SirStefanGaming Aims for early acess realese mid 2024? Its august ^^. And sadly i mixed up blues brothers and pulp fiction again. The confused travolta is it xD.

Gotcha! Yeah they have been delaying any information about a hard early access release date for quite some time. I get it, the game never seems finished and polished enough and you can work on it for 10 years and still more stuff could be added but on the other hand; you are going to have to release it at some point. But you see this with so many smaller game releases where the date keeps being pushed forward. So not having a date at all at least prevents constant disappointment.

Sorry for the late reply! I haven't had much time to go through the comments lately. What's the status of your batteries' capacity? Does it reach 100% during the day or not? Also, what does the tooltip indicate at nightfall in terms of how many days worth of power does your grid have stored?

What's your question here?

@@Kaleidoscope007 I wouldn't be surprised if fire damage will be tweaked again within the next few patches.

Unfortunately it doesn't. You get everything from the SC edition apart from the unlock.

Are you on PC?

Oh yeah? Why is that? (let's assume here for a moment I've been living under a rock amd know nothing about the dr disrespect developments over the past weeks)

@@SirStefanGaming oh shit did I comment on the wrong channel?

@@SirStefanGaming I was watching a streamer for doing pedo stuff and it commented on here for some reason…

@@Mysteriouskulls I sure hope you did

@@SirStefanGaming I was watching noahj456 and chat called him pdiddy my apologies sir

Glad you liked it! All three of those titles looks like ones you can really spend hours upon hours in: building, tweaking, tuning.

I'm not sure what you mean by "changing race" as you can only play as human Helldivers. Can you clarify?

@@SirStefanGaming I meant changing the skin for the viper commando armors, but I found out that it's random so it changes the skin randomly after death. As a white guy I was seeking to be white but it's random.

Yeah it's randomized upon respawn; which makes sense knowing that every respawn is essentially another Helldiver.

No you didn't miss anything; I messed it up. I'm on holiday and last week I made some changes to the description on my phone. I must have drag/highlighted too much and taken out that part as well. Let me add it back in when I'm back home. Sorry for the confusion.

By placing at least one power production building that is not linked to your already existing grid.

I dont have a PS5 so I couldnt tell you from experience but I can't find any clear or conclusive info on it online either: "setting a primary account enables sharing where the benefits tied to that account extend to the other accounts on the console. This includes offline playing, game library access, and some PlayStation Plus benefits across all the accounts." Seems pretty generalized so Im not sure if this includes specifically HD2.

@@SirStefanGaming I also looked into this, and it seems like it is specifically like this for Helldivers 2. All of my other game’s dlc is able to be used and transferred across accounts, but not for Helldivers 2. Even if I go to “manage game content” menu, it says my super citizen pack armor and warbond is usable, but it actually isn’t in game.

I know I've played it for over a decade. I never made it out to be a direct comparison in every way.

Agreed

Im currently on holiday so I cant check for you but I think to remember it's under Engineering.

That's a good question. I did so because the goal of the guide is to explain the concept of power and how the logic behind the numbers works, not to go over the different buildings. I just took the solar panels as primary example because they are used from the start and will likely be the dominant source for lots of players. You bring up a good point though and it's something to include a more complete guide.

​@@SirStefanGamingJust say you wanted those clicks.

You're free to disagree with my explanation but that doesn't change the goal of the video.

From a perspective of constructive critisism: When you feel this title is "clickbait"; what would more appropriate to you then? What does and doesn't the video do for you?

@@SirStefanGaming Either change the title of the video to "Solar power explained for beginners" or actually include "Everything" related to power that is currently in the game

That's a nice idea, I don't think they have something like that on the roadmap

No it's doesn't reset your progress.

It's under Fundamentals: you have to follow Drone Upgrade > Oxide Mining Rate > Automatic Repair > Hauling Drones

We'll see, Arc is a different branch and they have a different strategy so time will tell when this game hits early access release.
