Oil Rig problems

[◄ Chieftain Olga ►]

Although I've already seen a lot of opinions about the Oil rig, I think it's "fine" as it is, there shouldn't be that many explosives in them just to chain-kill everything with just a bow, that's a bit underwhelming, having it once or twice it's cool though! but when the entire oil rig is... "rigged" with explosions is kind of oof.

My real issue is the Oil Rig pathing, the most critical one there is, pals and enemies do not move from their waypoints, turrets work fine since they're stationary enemies afterall.

I'll recommend ramping up the difficulty on oil rigs after fixing the pathing, since it seems like everyone does not compute how to move (in veeery specific places the enemies or your pals will move but after they cross that part they stop or fidget around)

I suppose it will become much more difficult once enemies come swarming at you after they can move, but as it is the places are just target practice.
More loot! I got there and only obtained like 3 copper key chests hidden in containers, saw that and I just jumped off and glided away.

The idea however has potential! just needs the refining hand, thank you if any dev reads this!

I'm curious, because I took on the level 50/55 rig which took about 2 hours and I died three times. Finally cleared all the turrets and got... nothing? There was literally nothing of value there. I came out with 23 oil, and that's the most valuable thing I got out of it. I'm sure I missed a few chests but... still? Also yeah the ai was the most frustrating part. It doesn't seem to be the case for the enemies, but my pal kept running past enemies and going down into the ocean for some reason. Had to hop onto my pals to force them to fight, but when I did the laser turrets killed my jetragon, nice lol. Really wish there was a way for the turrets to tell when you're flying and when you're not. Could help massively with riding flying pals on the ground when exploring the new island too.

when you said copper key chests, are you referring to the level 15 rig? just want some clarification

Well for me that is the only one I did for now, and I can tell you (did it multiple times)...
Your own Pals do NOT move or attack at all.

yeah, that is a major frustration at all the rigs, just wanted clarification from the poster before i rant about the level 60 one :P

Pretty much my issue. When I step into an oil rig, the entire AI for both my pals and the enemies will shutdown and randomly get back for 1 or 2 enemies, until they get stuck somewhere. And my own pals will do one or two attacks and turn off for the reminder of the level.

Did you find the large chest? There is one that usually gives a construction plan for a weapon of level 2 or higher, a lot of ammo and some other stuff. So I don't know why you didn't find anything wort looting.

I tried Oil Rig (the first one, I am too low level for the others) and almost all the mobs were just standing there. Not only them, my pal was just standing there too. I walked up spearing things to death, and after one died, then SOMETIMES another would start moving. My pal on the other hand no matter how much I recalled/put it back out just stood there. I changed its settings from focus to attack aggressively and maybe they might kill one thing before standing still again. Everything had the "aggressive" icons, but was just standing there. The only thing that seemed to work was the turret constantly spamming at me
