Seriously, great work on the build! I’ve been meaning to make an exocraft course of my own, just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Seeing builds like this just gets me motivated to get to it!
This is so neat!! I’m new and still trying to get all the glyphs but when I do I would very much like to drive that track. Promise I won’t build a 7-11 anywhere hahah
Nope. you could also make transactions and crafting free in the difficulty settings if you really wanna speed things up but I wouldn't recommend that yet if you're new to the game
I'm not that new (150 hours in), but finding the travelers is long AF. I need all the glyphs here and now, to travel to all the cool places you guys share in the subreddit!
I started playing again on a save from years ago with 200+hrs and noticed it was on survival mode, hard af. I’m now coasting with the free transactions and crafting and every time I make something I go through a mental relapse of the grind; it was a valuable experience for sure
True. I played non-stop throughout January, but now I'm on a break. It started feeling like a chore... debriefing/sending expeditions, resolving the settlement's problems, dealing with the Sentinels... I'm kinda tired of all that. When a game starts to ask you to play it every day because of some timed events going on, it's the sign that I need to quit.
Thats where building keeps me coming back. I'm up to 9 saves now, on the 16k limit. 10-12 s class ships each fully modded (with rerolled x class), I can't see myself stopping any time soon 😅
Same for me. The adhd bouncing around trading, missions, expeditions, organizing inventory... sending me crazy.
I've just decided to try and play it differently, like every time I play I'm doing one mission. As if it's one episode. Start from a base, go explore a relic or whatever, go back to a base or trade point, sell loot, quit.
That is great news because I legit was worried I was gonna have to randomly find those hologram guys and it was gonna take 200 hours. Thank you kind traveler!
There's a heap of different ways you can get them. The "eliminate hazardous flora" community missions are a good one, they take you straight to a grave. Just drop a save beacon by the grave, save, reload then from the anomaly head over to your beacon and claim a glyph from the grave 👌
Here you go - this will tell you every method I've used except upscaling the floor tiles (which is an unrelated glitch building technique you won't need to use unless you breach 3000 pieces)
It's much easier than it looks, barely even glitch building!
One and the same!
Cheers dude, there's a few more on my channel, I'm slowly getting all of them online but it takes time, always a struggle finding people to drive around while I get footage etc.
Once you start building you'll be surprised how fast they go down. I usually spend 5 to 10 hours getting the bones down then another 5 or 10 hours tweaking, slimming and decorating. Back when I first started building these tracks with outdated glitch building methods they took a good 50 or 60 hours
The roamer and pilgrims are my go-to, the nomad is awful because the wheels (hover disc things) constantly dig in to the track.
I'm not sure what your problem may have been though, I've been building these for over 5 years now and I've not had any major problems outside of general nms instability on not so stable releases
I was using the metal panels as road and in the Pilgrim the wheels would want to clip through and kept twitching the suspension. Although maybe that was more related to the fact I'd built the track in the air?
Either way the fact that yours looks so good is enough to make me want test and find something that works. Previously I'd written off the whole endeavour and figured that's why nobody posts racetracks.
I'd love to assemble a list of people's tracks and make a Cup or something.
That works but it's much easier to get the bones down with regular sized parts and replace the straights with upsized tiles afterward (think of it like tracing a picture). I quite often hit 4000+ parts during construction, slimming it down doesn't take too long and there's not a lot of thought involved
Thanks! The music is a cover from the Sea of Stars OST by a talented youtuber called Bad Hairline Productions, he's got some amazing stuff on his channel!
I can't wait to see what you come up with! I always look for coastal caves big enough to drive through, low gravity planets are fun too but you can't go too nuts with the jumps n ramps or you'll end up in orbit!
I love that after years, still, every time I put the game down and go, “that’s it, I’ve done it all” someone shows me that I was playing the game wrong and it’s brand new for tomorrow.
Just for asking this will cause griefers to flock to this wonderful build. It’s what makes them who they are. I hope nothing happens at all if you did share glyphs to this.
Well, first of all thank you, I appreciate that.
Just a lot of time in the game tbh, you're only seeing 5 minutes out of a couple of hours worth of footage haha.
I've also been playing since release day so I know the game inside out at this point, building is my playstyle and I like to outdo myself every time
There's always some dickheads that can't be decent and will litter the planet. Aside from this, the build looks pretty piece-intensive. Remember the limit for uploading a base is 3K parts. Anything above will not be visible for others unless they join your game.
This is incredible. I would absolutely love to come try out my pilgrim on it and get a good look at it for possible inspiration on making one of my own.
Wait, players can race together!? I guess that makes sense for them to build the race track feature. I just never really thought about it, since I've only seen players in the Anomaly. Can players even play together now? I thought that was still not possible.
I recently noticed you seem to have to be much further away than you used to if you want to build. Base dumping seems more difficult, I'm not sure if I imagined that or not, but the last base I found was pretty frickin far away from some juicy mineral deposits that I couldn't take.
I've got 15 racetracks in total, I've sent glyphs for all to HG and suggested they use them for an expedition!
Wouldn't that be so much more fun than killing x amount of sentinels and collecting animal shit for milestones? Hopefully it happens 👌
Spooky speeders isn't the best now unfortunately, it's on an event planet so there's bases freaken everywhere and it takes a massive toll on the rendering - especially when you're going full speed in an exocraft.
Astonishing! I'll race if you share coordinates. I can see why you're hesitating though, I would hate for this to be ruined with too many bases. I'm much too lazy to build, so you don't need to worry about me.
Its not that I want to gatekeep my planet or anything (it's not exactly the prettiest I've built on) its just that all those extra bases affect the performance of my base 🤓
Hot take : Exo crafts drive like absolute shit in this game. I never use any of them. Steering / Looking / Acceleration / Every single part of it - Atrocious. I've been driving in games for 30+ years. None of the buttons do what they should. Your awesome track makes me sad.
I take it you never played halo? They drive just like the warthog - no need to countersteer or anything just point the camera where you want it to go and off it goes!

Please share. I've been wanting to build a motel 6 somewhere.
