Also published by Sierra On-Line in 1994, but developed by Ybarra Productions. Also a sci-fi space colony game. But more of a 4X type with ship exploration rather than a city sim in space.

OutpostHD / Re: Can't build anything because I run out of Common Metals...
« Last post by leeor_net on December 06, 2022, 04:19:58 PM »
Hey,

Sorry about the delayed response. I tend to hang around in our Discord more than on the forums these days.

So first thing, the "Not Implemented" image is just a placeholder... kind of an inside joke from the original game. It's purely cosmetic.

The common metals thing is mostly a balancing issue (going to be rebalancing costs in the next release). In the mean time, there are a few things you need to do. Build a couple of extra trucks and assign them to your mine. If you land near two or three mines even better -- closer distances help out a lot in getting resources.

Hold off on building a second smelter until your old one is nearing its end of life (around 150 turns).

You'll need to build storage tanks for processed materials to be stored in. Your Command Center can only hold ~62 or so of each refined resource type so building a storage tanks is really necessary.

Once you have enough resource storage, you can bulldoze all of your landers (including SEED Lander) to get an extra boost in the beginning.

Making dirt roads and paved roads helps move along your resources a lot faster than if there are no roads.

As an aside, I've been developing with the balancing for 'hard' mode so it's pretty unforgiving at the moment (a bit too unforgiving). When difficulty is implemented the game will get a lot less hostile for easy and medium modes.

Hopefully this helps!

Ah, got you, many thanks.

Unfortunately the outpost2.exe crashes when trying to load Outcasters Starship with the op2extra.dll from Forsaken World. Oh well.

It wouldn't be; op2extra.dll used to be included standard in the fan patch but it's obsolete now.  Certain older missions still rely on it (with some missions expecting certain versions) so each mission has the version it expects included in its custom maps folder that gets installed to your PC.  So in the case of Forsaken World, you'd want to look in (your Outpost 2 installation directory)\OPU\maps\ForsakenWorld and you should find a copy of op2extra.dll there that will (hopefully) work.

OutpostHD / Can't build anything because I run out of Common Metals...
« Last post by SNS22 on November 28, 2022, 04:57:10 PM »
I don't remember having this problem in the Original game...


After landing everything and clearing space around the command site, I built a smelter, and use Communication towers to reach a mine site and built a mine. But my common metals never increased and the smelter never did any processing. The mine states that 1 truck was being used, but in the corner was a box that states "NOT IMPLEMENTED"

So, at this point I can't do very much because my colony dies because I can't build anything other than the Smelter and some tubes.


Help would be appreciated.

Thanks In Advance

Hi Sirbomber,

Thanks for your reply and apologies for the delayed response. I might drop by in your Discord channel in the near future.

I went to https://arklon.outpost2.net/mcshay/XHTML/fw.html to download the op2extra.dll, however it's not available among the files for this map...?
