block license

[busterdude]

way do we have to pay to license every individual block and way are the prices so high and way is it that every block has a random different money amount

[kilobravo19]

From what ive seen from playing is, that the first time you licence it its quite expensive, then the next you do drops by about 2/3's of the first price, then the increase in price for each one you get after that, not 100% sure on that just what ive noticed

Yes, it starts ramping up, but if you're selling the stuff that you don't need then money becomes trivial.

[Reklusiv]

I find it fairly ok, balance wise. I just wish they had a block magnet to increase the range of the collection.

[HOMEBODY427]

i agree on the block magnet but i thought the license was a good touch the money in .5 builds was pointless

[tripodalt]

this completly change the game play.
we add to gt the block in first opus and now once liscenced they are unlinmited respawners.
not sure i prefere that

[Sylvaa]

I quite like the new system, money soon becomes irrelevant though, as you go higher you just get loads of stuff you have no use for except selling.

ince the begining i dont use the yellow block because their cost health ratio is defavorable over the blue and their advantage in number of connection is pointless due to the low limit of avaiable point to spend.
even the black armor cost less. it just poorly balanced and make a lot of useless things in this game.
considering the liscence my greed like it but my chaleng mind dislike it.

Agree, but one of the yellow 4x4x1 blocks only uses 4 power and has lots of connectors on it, I imagine it is bugged, but worth taking advantage of.

[tripodalt]

for 6power you get a blue with double health.
its not bugged i was in trouble at begining because not selecting the most armored items.

Making money is so so easy that licensing is easy. Instead of trying to horde every block you get sell everything when you return home a few times. Then you will find that you are quite wealthy. I am current in the snow with about 92k. I have hit 50k many times running through the swamp. I spent about 30k to get parts for my aircraft.
You want things you must EARN them in this game. There is no one to hand it to you. Even the cheat commands are not working currently.

talk for yourself:all block i found on ground are inbetween 2 and 13 bb to sell,
and liscencing the boat block are at least 200.
and the worst of all is:
i dont have enought flotability for fighting eficiently and colecting.
its like twenty time im one shoot sunk ,by a boat that look double than mine ,and got an extra small gun.

at first you have to make your boat fast so you can out run bad guys to get to sea trader and the swamp you can make more money from parts from swamp then win get more money go back to sea trader and get more boat parts to make battle boat

I tink, U are mistaken...

...for me now sea blocks are te most efficient way to get money back from fights (they're most aluable structural blocks and You'' get a lot of them) xD

swamp at beginning (even after some time) is harsch, and parts are mostly junk (except some which U wanted for Yourself, e.g. beter batery, frame or some guns aka grenades xD)

[tripodalt]

he first time i fighted on sea it was hard and i gathered a bunch of parts.
i relocated my harbor at the opposite sea of starting position and rushed to the trader.
everything is super expensive and each time i fight a boat i lost more ammo and all i gathered.
not sure if it will despawn but it started to cost me more than it rewarded.
maybe the starting area sea was more for noob than the opposite shore?
i guess the ennemy never change since the first i ever see continue to respawn at the same location.

Also you can use blocks without licensing if needed. Idea is earning things instead of simply being given. Earning is easy but you are not going to be a god on the field at least not early on. You will loose many times. Boats are hard to build and fight early game. Wait on those until you get better cabs with more reactor.
This is NOT TerraTech where you build things that can not be defeated from the start. Was never meant to be. Sorry if you bought this thinking it was a sequel but not even close to that. Nor will it be. Closest to TT you will get here in TTW will be Creative mode in the summer.
