solo grind

[Hydrazombie]

i want to unlock the titan walker the unlocking cost is 100 matching icon tablets you will need
to process 400 fragments you will need 1000 torque and tablet return is 2 that match, so i will need to repeat the process 49 more times to get all 100 matching icon tablets.

400 fragments to get 100 tablets process 20,000 fragments
1000 torque per 400 fragments will need 50,000 torque to process

the grind is REAL

This game is made for 30++ in zerg style... good luck with that

Mate solo grind 3 hours and being zerged at ancient fab, thats the spirit. Therefore you might have to double your calculation.

Or you could join a clan, and safely trade tablets with clanmates for the exact type that you need. Reducing your grind x3.

Titan is such a target though for any solo player... It's ridiculously slow, barely climbs anything. Every encounter with hostile players you'll be full looted, if they are really angry hulled too. Most big walkers are designed for groups. Anything bigger than a stiletto, tob, or mollusc for any solo player is an overkill. Titans are really only good for clan crafting platform with crafting modules. I'd argue that buffalo is enough for that purpose too. That's why Titans dont really have a niche.

Or you could do this fairly fast on a private server with 10x rates. I got about 150 tablets (50 of each kind) on the weekend on my private server with 5x rates.

Even for something at half the cost like the body glidder.. Which would be perfect for a solo player, is behind 50 damn tablets.

[FAQ]

why would a solo player want a Titan?

[KillingTree]

Be a sociable solo? Cant tell you how many times i've just rolled up and been able to hang out with a clan blob at a fab and they let me join them in doing runs, and trade directly with them for tabs I need on the spot.
400 frags in an ancient fab supposedly gives you less overall tablets. 275 frags and 1k torque gives you almost always 3 tabs and usually more. More cost effective as a solo too.

Torque is cheap, you can get 50k easily, also storing it is very easy as well. Extractors can be packed and store 5k each. Or the toolpod inventory can be used to store torque (likely an oversight) all 10 slots in the toolpod can hold 10k each if i recall.

At the end of the day though wanting a titan is the most foolish choice you could make as a solo in this game. You will gain literally NOTHING from having, or using, it. You will be a literal target and be raided damn near the second you zone in or shortly after if anyone sees you.
You will likely use it as a giant PvE ship covered in chests and crafting stations. Just a giant target man. Aim for something more realistic for a solo. Dinghy, Tob, Stilletto, Mollusk. Anything bigger is asking for trouble that you will have no chance in hell of gaining back that loss in walker and stations/gear/resources in a realistic amount of time as a solo.

** Having thought about it more I want to add that your also not considering the cost of the upgrades which are arguably required for all the bigger walkers. That's another 50 - 100 frags I believe
The grind is oh so real. **

i don't want a titan , i just want to unlock it, i currently have a hornet with the deck dressed out in crates it looks like a supper carrier. can farm everything i run into and fill the boxes to there brim and then head to my base and unload the loot into chests and start processing all i got and rinse and repeat. i have 1 of every walker down from the hornet but i have 2 spider walkers and 1 has a ballista on it and i have 3 firefly walkers

TBH, ive only dealt with the Perma fabs twice, I usually patrol the outer ring, farming wrecks / harpoon loot boxes , come across the despawnable fabricators fairly often. rinse and repeat, no ambushes to deal with. My walker has 10 torque rechargers on it so dont really need the wind mill.

1 circuit around usually yields 1-3 despawnable fabricators. They seem to spit
1 Tablet 75%
2 Tablets 20%
3 Tablets 5%
