NairbHaon Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I was playing the closed alpha today when I encountered a mission that said to collect metallic bio barrels. I found a couple of what looked to be barrels, but I was unable to pick them up, and whenever I would destroy one, nothing would happen. Does anyone know how to do this mission?

NairbHaon Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Never mind, I figured it out. You have to actually build some form of arm in order to pick up the barrels and bring them to the resource drop off thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I use a magnet to pick up the barrels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 I'm happy to see that you found different solutions How did the mission go ? Was it hard to accomplish once you've figured out how to transport the barrels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markus Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 @NairbHaon Great solution! Can you make a GIF of how your mechanical arm works? Our idea was also that you can use the magnet, but we were hoping that someone would build a mechanical solution. Great work We have to explain certain things better for the early access version and also add more parts and solutions to missions. Thank you for testing and improving the game together with us 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First it is not really clear what to do with the barrels. But after blowing up most of them without seeing the counter going up i figured shooting them is not the solution ;-) As i figured out how the new mining system worked i just tried to dump the barrels in the 'ore-receiver', voilà!

NairbHaon Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 I did think that using a mechanical arm seemed a bit difficult. A magnet makes much more sense. I just used some blocks in a claw shape attached to 2 motorized hinges. Here is a GIF of it: 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Wow nice claw you built there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NairbHaon Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 I also just realized that this is the same thing you are supposed to do for the chest things that appear on some planets. I was carrying about 10 of them with magnets when I ran into the transmitter and lost every single one of them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
