Progression with frackin Universe and in general

[Pertinax]

I gotta say im already getting burned from exploring. No matter where i go, the mine shaft is always these greenie things that spit green toxic stuff leading to a big cave with those singing apes and a big adult one. Theres also the wasteland dungeon with those bottom empty rooms... like i think i read at some point that there was 350 or something new dungeons added?

Also, i dont seem to be able to find any new content that drops better weapon than the 30ish dmg ones i already have. Is it linked to the quest line? Like doing the quest line opens up new areas? I thought with 1.0 everything was there from the start, you just need to craft packs to be able to access new worlds.

30 - 40ish was always the upper limit in terms of weapon damage aside from some legendaries. What you need instead is to focus on building better armors which increase the percentage of damage you do with your weapons. If you're playing with Frackin Universe, it usually provides armor and weapons far better than vanilla items since the planets also ramp up in difficulty. Have you constructed an armory yet and mined ore like Densinium?

The best place to ask about Frackin universe is in the Workshop Frackin Universe discussion page. If you go to the Workshop page you will see a discussion button. That way you will interact withall other users who use the mod.

"And in general" So im also looking to figure out why im always seeing this entry-level dungeon with poptops 20 times in a 4 day playthrough

I've found doing the quest line can open up new shops at the outpost; One of which being the pirate bay, where you can obtain ship licenses if you prefer to upgrade using pixels.

It sounds like you are just running lush planets, which are pretty much always the same. The mine is always there with mostly the same enemies in it, the gate is always there, no other major dungeon or city on the planet. Lush planets are set up as tutorial planets, and they are all the same because players can spawn on any of them.

Thats what im doing, i already started building all the stations. But im building... to explore. What im still confused about is wether everything is there from the start, both in vanilla and Frackin. So like, everything is open ended from the start, the only thing preventing you from visiting places is the gear you have (Packs etc)? Theres no unlocking harder parts of the galaxy and such?

The mine is only on lush planets, so I'll presume you're only exploring lush planets. You can explore any planet that doesn't have things like "Very/Deadly heat, radiation, pressure, cold etc."

Follow the quests in Frackin Universe (the one from science station), revisit them, and look across all your frackin crafting stations for materials you've yet to build. Some of them unlock new components and some unlock quests to tell you what they're actually used for and what to craft next.

There's also a wiki but it's kind of lackluster. Still, it shows you what materials can be extracted and what materials are unlocked by what finds in most cases.
