Exploring new players watch out :)
« on: November 17, 2014, 05:47:59 pm »
If you are like me who like to explore and look around, then beware and watchout not to do the same as i did to save yourself some headages.

Today after my game crashed again while mining some rocks in New Urengoy (NU), i restarted the game.
And as usual lately, i found myself as a noobot (hovering disk) at my last location.
This time i thought by myself; "Why not go explore the lands a bit instead of traveling back to the NU storage to transform back to human form..."

So i started exploring the lands as a flying disk.
I managed to reach "Surgot" using the SW exit of the NU area.
I entered the storage building there to see what was inside it.
As one might expect there was nothing much different as the one in NU, some storage terminals a transformation platform and an Official (NPC).
Then i thought by myself; "Hey why not transform to human form here and register the location?"
Well too bad it seems you are not allowed to use a transformation platform if you have not visited that location in human form before yet.
"At: Surgut, Outpost / Storages,  | Translukator: The current translukator doesn't recognize the data contained in your noobot. You should visit an officer at this outpost while being a human (to store your DNA data in local terminal).For now you need to travel to any outpost where you have your DNA already registered."


So bummed out, understandably, i exited the storage building to continue my exploration in noobot form.
When i exited the doors of the storage, i got a system message:
At: Surgut, Lat: 52.47°N, Lon: 87.99°E, Altitude: 43 m | All of your items from inventory have been kept in a Surgut, Teleport storage. You can pick them up from there while being a human.
When i saw that i thought "Hmm what the hell, lets see what i'm missing in my inventory"
And to my disappointment it seemed my rocks, pickaxes etc AND clothing was gone LMAO !
I ofcourse immediately created a ticket (#00324), about what happened and explained that i would most probably not be able to visit that place again in human form because i saw some very huge monsters on my way there, and if they would be willing to transport my belongings to the NU.
(Hope they will, im waiting as i write this)

Anyways...
So while outside the Surgot storage and after creating that ticket, i had enough of the exploring for now and pressed CTRL-D to teleport me back to NU.
Well...thats what i thought would happen, like it did till now...
To my surprise i was teleported to "Mugen Village", which i had never visited yet because due to some mistake/bug at start i seemed to have chosen to start in NU directly, thus skipping that tutorial.
I was unable to enter the storage in this village because "i didn't have a valid key" or similar system message.
While i was writing all of this, i was in human form outside somewhere safe "I thought", well you guessed it i was killed by a random monster who found my smell...
So now i'm all the way down here in Mugen Village and trying to get back.
Wish me luck ;)

*edit*
Made the ticket number a link so i won't loose it ;)

TriMoon - The following explanation isn't going to help you in your situation, however it might help others.

You only got your items transferred to the Surgot storage because you encountered the "logout and you become a Travelbot (ufo)" bug.
Due to the bug, your inventory is still attached to the Travelbot while outside of a outpost.
Without the bug, you can only become a Travelbot within the outpost and if a Travelbot exits an outpost - the players inventory is transferred to the outpost storage (apart from items in wallets).
So due to the bug, you were able to enter the Surgot outpost with inventory and triggered the "Travelbot exits outpost" rule which transferred your items into Surgot storage.

When you die or use ctrl-D to revive, you are transferred to the nearest outpost where you are "DNA registered". You can only be DNA registered by visiting an outpost in human form and requesting this from one of the NPCs in the outpost (another game rule that will cause new players confusion).

A brand new player will have their DNA registered automatically in two places - Mugen Village and New Urengoy (NU). Surgot is closer to Mugen Village than New Urengoy. I am not sure what the situation is for a returning player, it may be that all your prior visited outposts AWA have been DNA Registered, which would mean you had not visited Surot in AWA. Anyway, Surgot didn't have your DNA so Murgen Village was your revive point.

However, I am surprised you could not get into the outpost at Murgen Village - there are two buildings with doors. A Clone Revive center (which you cannot get into) and an outpost that you should be able to get into and this outpost is where I thought you would revive.

Players that have become a Travelbot inside of their DNA Registered outposts are quite safe, and apart from a very long journey back to NU if they revive too far in the south west, there are no downsides to exploring in this form (I do it often when I want to look at mob levels without the hassle of needing to survive them).

Just in case other new players want to try :)

Ok so i've been trying to run back in human form but seems its impossible for a newbee...
I tried avoiding the monsters using huge walk arounds but the monsters just move around too fast and are too powerful.
I also tried swimming in water to cross the most part of my journey, but died due to dark matter...
So now i will be traveling back in noobot form (Flying disk).

Going back to NU as Travelbot sounds a good idea.
You will need an escort to get back to Surgot, that area is way too deadly until you are well armored and have high avoids.
I believe you will be able to revive to NU if your escort can get you to the swamp side of the ridge.
If in doubt - measure the distances between your location and NU / Mugen in C220 - World Map to ensure that NU is closer (Surgot is not too far from the NU revive boundary).
