Abandoned Factory POI

[DaelaamCrafter]

All right, in another thread called "Traders" it was suggested I raid an abandoned POI. I forgot about that part and just went raiding. I eventually came upon a Abandoned factory. I cleared the middle and upper levels with relative ease (although I was rather scared). I then went downstairs and had quite a bit of trouble with enemies but I handled it. I ran past the 2 giant turrets and fought through the enemies. I seemed to be on a slightly changed remake of the last level. I eventually died but do to my fear I had several saves to go back to. Now, the questions.

1. How many levels do these things have? Is it like a 15-story dungeon or is it just a few?

2. Where's the core if there is one? I wish to make this monster of a fortress for myself. I have a spare core I carry around for safety purposes and know how to take the thing over.

3. I have been using the T1 Shotgun and T1 Sniper. They work pretty well (2-3 shot on nightmares and scorpions). WHat other weapons would you suggest? I do have titanium, Pentaxid, Magnesium, Cobalt (not much of it), Promethium. I would prefer something cheap but effective (one shot kill)

4. What other creatures are in this thing?

5. I found some good loot (most notably a NVG). Is this where it about caps out? Or is there something to REALLY looks forward to?

6. Any other information about this specific abandoned structure or other abandoned buildings (I have also found an abandoned reactor).

Any and all information is helpful. Thanks, and Good Hunting.

i am not specifically familiar with this poi but ...
1) they vary from poi to poi, some are pretty deep 'rabbit holes' while others are just a few levels
2) no idea :P sorry
3) personally i like the pulse rifle? the second from last (laser is good too but ammo is not as cheap or looted as often)
4) again this varies poi to poi but expect anything, the nightmares and maybe assasins are the main high end mobs (other than zirax) in poi's but they also have a level assignment so can be easy or hard depending on the planet (likely lower level on the starter planet)
5) there should be some 'alien containers' in practically all bigger poi's, these have decent loot but some are hidden and it is an RNG lootpool - these are what you want to find
6) same as above, they are all different but in some ways similar, you will eventually just 'learn' the layout on some, others may always be a mystery for me

1. Most things I've run into are only a few levels. max of maybe 6ish. They're mostly built with lots of walls and stuff to make it seem bigger.

2. There are cores you can destroy in any of them that are non story mission based. Those have Admin Cores. Some are hidden well.

3, There are also T2 and epic weapons in various varieties. The ones you're using are good starter weapons. If you're careful they work throughout. One shot kills on most things with the Epic Heavy Sniper Rifle on head. It uses 15mm rounds.

4. There's maybe 6 or so different creatures in those. I'll let you find the types on your own. Besides it's lengthy to describe.

5. There are different quality containers. Purple is the best for epic weapons. Loot is random within the quality and type constraints of the container. I did find an epic in a plain cargo once so I guess anything is possible.

6. Again it's probably better you just explore it on your own.

Thanks to both of you. I'm honostly going to just put this on hold until I can collect better equipment (The Medium armor and NVGs I found should help this). Do the enemies/turrets respawn?

Feel free to take it as a base, but you may find it too big. Especially if you have CPU enabled you will be paying for all those blocks.

I know no poi with more than 4 Storys underground

[DaelaamCrafter]

I don't since this is on single player. I have a little base right now and the sounds are a little creepy so I think I'll wait till I clear it :).

no, turrets/blocks do not respawn in single player, in fact most of the mobs you kill will not respawn as well, but some do so be prepared
in mp they can, and usually do so on a timer (usually every 24 hours) both of these options are configurable so it can vary from server to server

[DaelaamCrafter]

Got it, I'm going to set up a dedicated server for me and some friends so that will be good to keep in mind.

Or play on the official server

Smart move.

EGS is all about being prepared.

I could, but my friends are also shiney (they've never played before) so I think it will beneficial to not have other players around. Good Idea though.

Like me just beginning tom hunt I use a handheld rocket launcher to take out guns, scorpions, it will take out a wad of them of 3 lol.

I posted this in my other POI discussion, but I want the base intact to make it mine (CPU is off). It is already a good endgame base and then all I would really need is a good CV with a intersystem warp drive.

If you stay on a PVE planet you have no issues on the Multiplayer server
But you can ask people questions or trade with them.

And if you dont like it you can simply Blueprint your Structures and spawn them on your own server. (This cant work in the other direction without admin rights)

[DaelaamCrafter]

Got it, that may actually be a good idea for me.
