Take a tek transmitter with you if you can, getting off aberration can be hard as the obs are on the surface which is on fire during the day and covered with nasties at night.

Larkfields Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 You can also use supply drops to transfer off Aberration. But they have a habit of not appearing when you need one 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing better than a light pet to keep the nameless at bay is having an infant rock drake needing to nurse :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aushegun Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 For me, Abberration is one of the harder maps to start off on, so I would transfer all you can to quickly establish a small base, as you get your bearings. Tame light pets, (as previously mentioned by someone) . Abberration is my favorite map, but can be a bitch when first starting. a GPS will be useful as well , as it takes some time to learn you're way around the map. Since there aren't any OBs that you can use as visual landmarksreally. Also I second the transmitter idea. Really helps on a map like Abb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrumpyBear Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 watch out for surface, it's bugged right now. I wouldn't go to the surface until there is a formal announcment that they fixed the burning up at night issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, wanted to go kick a alpha reapers butt to see what kinda goodies it would give me, that sucks. Ok, so its as I feared......Well with that said, should I bring tek building or will metal or stone work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyBear Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 stone is perfectly suitable for most of aberation. seems day time is beginning at 02:00 right now on the map. SO there's a tiny window you cna go up there right now, wait for days that end in 7-9 for the most time out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a good idea, or should I just stick with a basic gas gen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tek gens are always useful for tek troughs and teleporters, you farm element there by harvesting materials that you then trade at these stations for 3 element at a time. It can be a slow process. You can use dust gachas but since you can't bring over snow owls, either you need to constantly import owl pellets or you feed them stuff like y-traps, or war maps maybe work. Stone wouldn't get you the same amount of dust like it would when you can have them loaded with owl pellets eating stone or seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive learned that making wooden landmarks and lots of zip lines is the way to go also never EVER spawn in at the portal room there are ravagers and raptors and no water bulb dogs.........tame them and be prepared to die......A lot btw When you ready for them I can even get on and help with rock drakes if you want.

Darkholis Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Before moving anything, I'd suggest you go explore the map in SP first and find potential base/resources spots you might otherwise overlook. It's also worth scouting some of these spots on the actual destination server before transfering. Some locations might be taken aleady, while others are indicators of the activity/progress of established tribes on the server. Take plenty of parachutes/bolas/canteens as this map can be very treacherous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly Im strictly in SP. bigchingus7890 was my tribe mate while I was online, but ever since I changed my internet service provider and am on a hotspot device, I have not been able to get back online. I keep getting "cannot retrieve address" error. =/ But big thanks on the heads up for chutes......I didn't even think of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last time I played aberration on sp, about a year ago, I couldn't upload at the loot drops and had to cheat to get back to the island, I got ahead of myself and wanted to see what ab was like. It may have changed now but I thought I should mention it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
