Best beginner tips for Revenge of the Savage Planet
Revenge of the Savage Planet isn't a hardcore survival space-sim by any stretch of the imagination, but certain steps will allow you to develop faster and quickly. While the general gameplay is linear, the following tips will help you to complete all the available quests as efficiently as possible. Without following the steps, you can still enjoy and finish all the missions, but they're going to take longer. Gather as many resources as possible Screenshot via Raccoon Logic Studios Gathering resources in the game isn't fun, and it can also feel slightly inhumane. However, you need to farm as many resources as possible, such as from the critters, and the efficiency increases once you unlock fast travel. This will allow you to teleport across fast-travel points and farm all the creatures in a particular location. Resources can also come from mineral veins, which can also be harvested using the method mentioned above. To ease the process, visit the in-game settings and unlock the Snap Targeting feature. This feature allows you to lock down on different targets with ease, which eases the overall farming process. This will make targeting smaller critters easier, as you can miss them sometimes. Capture a pet of each type Image via Raccoon Logic Studios In Revenge of the Savage Planet, your alien pets have more functions when you change them into research subjects. Researching will help you unlock new outfit colors and upgrade specific items. While the task is to research as many species as possible, the optimum method is to test at least one creature of each type. To easily capture any creature as your pet, first scan it for its weak spot. Then, shoot them in the weak areas to stagger them, allowing you to teleport the creature back to your base. Scan and survey everything Screenshot by Destructoid While it's a boring task, you should always scan your surroundings whenever you're in a new area. Choose the Survey function to make a quick scan, which will reveal any consumables, collectibles, and minerals that might be found in the area. When surveying a place, make sure to move continuously. By default, the range of the scans is limited to a radius of 100m. If you can get the Planet Scanner Suit upgrade, it will mark the location of all the collectibles on your map. Till then, a Survey is the best way to go forward if you don't want to miss out on any vital resource. Unlock the planets Screenshot by Raccoon Logic Studios While you begin on the soil of Stellaris Prime, there are four more planets to unlock. Unlocking Slappi's Den of Fun might not be necessary, but the same can't be said about the other celestial bodies. Their respective unlock conditions are all tied to important story quests. If you don't unlock the planets, you won't be able to complete the main questline. Don't overlook the Kindex Screenshot via Raccoon Logic Studios Yes, who loves to study inside a video game! However, if you're willing to throw that attitude away, your Kindex can be immensely helpful in Revenge of the Savage Planet. The information for an enemy will be added to your Kindex once you have scanned it. Some enemies are harder to defeat, and reading your Kindex entry for such occasions can be immensely helpful. If you require specialized tools, the Kindex entry will have those. If an enemy has a specific weak spot, your Kindex will be your best friend with that information. Sure, boring the text might feel boring at times, but it can save you a lot of time in the long run. Early upgrades are always better Screenshot by Destructoid Upgrades are your key to success inside the game, and you should always look to get them done as quickly as possible. You can start unlocking new upgrades with the help of the Crafting Station, and they require specific resources. Try not to sleep on the blueprints, which are key to getting new upgrades. You can complete Challenge missions to access new blueprints, which can then be converted into the required upgrades with the help of the right resources. The more upgrades you find, the quicker your in-game progression will be. The post Best beginner tips for Revenge of the Savage Planet appeared first on Destructoid.
