Is genesis 2 good?

[Witch ~]

I liked some of the ideas genesis 1 had but hated the seperated maps and how hard it was sometimes

[𝔇ave]

[Abscurum]

[Witch ~]

[Abscurum]

The two biomes are easy to get to with the little bit of space (Literally outer space) in between them, def nicer than having to wait for a 30-45 sec seizure warning everytime you want to change biome maps... My issue with it is just the fact that you HAVE to bring over a character from another map to learn tek. You can't do it on a new character, as a server owner myself I've found you either have to allow downloads to the map (Meaning the chance of someone being rude and bringing in a lv 99999999 dino or character) or cheating everyone's tek engrams to them for them to learn, and the difficulty of getting the tek engrams & replicator to actually allow you to craft the new items is definitely getting in the way of having fun.

Now I'm hoping I'm just doing something wrong here that I trip into and everything miraculously fixes itself, cause it really is fun otherwise lol. If you have a server that has that cross-play available I'm sure it'll be a lot more fun ;) Mine's only the one server.

The Eden biome is super safe though and makes for a fun base building time, you can breed in peace without a huge fence and the aberration (It's not.. but I always forget what it's actually called lol) biome is interesting and bioluminescent with more danger to it and the space area definitely had me on the edge of my seat til I got used to it, made for some very nice laughs!
Definitely worth playing, just better to go with an already established character!

The logic is that it is the final map and you already ascended 5 times... You shouldnt even be there without knowing the stuff.

You still learn new things btw.

gen 2 is a continuation of the story. playing the way you are supposed to, you would already have tek unlocked

its lame to be honest.

I like Genesis 2.

It's all one big map, but with narrow accesses between the two halves. It's basically two giant rings. One ring is a sort of paradise zone, the other ring has been corrupted by something, and everything is a mutated nightmare. There are access points that lead through the hull of the rings, and then to bridges between the two rings.

In between the two rings is a narrow space zone full of asteroids, but you can breath and move around normally in it. Basically you move like you're swimming, but can breath normally (no oxygen loss). Even land animals can swim through it. Every in game day, at midnight, the ship warps to a new location and the resources available in the space zone change. There's more resources then you ever mine in a single day there. It's insane. The crew of the ship locked the ship into an endless loop of warps between seven different planets (to keep it from reaching it's destination).

Still has genesis style missions, but they're far less annoying then the genesis 1 missions. And a lot of them are more solo friendly. I have a huge main breeding base in my genesis 2 map, just because I can buy resources with hexagons. I can knockout an alpha level mission in 5 minutes, get 30000 hexagons, and buy stacks of resources without having to go farm them.
