Heya people! Hydra here.

I heard about this Outpost thing from a guild-mate in Core-Exiles. It sounded intriguing, so here I am.
Now if you'll all excuse me, I must be off to learn to play

Might need some help though, whenever I try to find the manual or use 'online manual' it just pauses the game and does nothing else...So I'm gonna need some help to learn how to play I guess.

Probably because, for some bizarre reason, the online manual isn't included in the game download. You can get it here.

Hey, welcome to the forums! Join the IRC, it nice dare

I think the in game help got disabled. That might have been how the op2ext.dll got added. By replacing the HelpHook.dll.

But yeah, just download the manual and check it ... manually.

Welcome Hydra.

You can try the campaigns too. They help you learn the importance of most buildings (if you read briefings that is)

When you get bored of single-player, be sure to try IRC for multi player. I might decide and hang around IRC again sometime... soon.

Uhh... No?

Hooman · « **Reply #6 on:** December 05, 2008, 10:23:22 PM »

Hmm, quite right. Just putting the help file in the Outpost2/ folder fixes the problem.

Hmm, now I'm wondering what exactly HelpHook.dll did, because I'm quite sure it got removed.

Sirbomber · « **Reply #7 on:** December 05, 2008, 10:25:53 PM »

It was removed. And, since you're Hooman, why don't you look into it?
Watch it be something completely pointless.

Hydra · « **Reply #8 on:** December 06, 2008, 02:23:46 PM »

Well, I'm back and I think I got it mostly figured out...Only a couple questions remain.

What exactly do Concrete Walls do?
and
Is it better to build fast or slow?

I forgot to mention before I submitted this reply-post that once these questions are answered, I think I might be ready to try multiplayer.

Hooman · « **Reply #9 on:** December 06, 2008, 05:05:21 PM »

Concrete walls are for military base defense. They take a minimum of 3 shots to kill, no matter how powerful the weapon is (such as supernovas). The microbe and lava defense walls should be obvious. Keep in mind that those more expensive walls (requiring rare ore), can be killed in a single shot. It is of course random how many shots it takes to kill any given wall, based on the firepower and the walls max HP. (The actual HP isn't stored, which is why they do it randomly).

Why would you want to build slow if you can build fast? Waiting around doing nothing doesn't so you any good.

Hydra · « **Reply #10 on:** December 06, 2008, 05:18:02 PM »

Thanks for the info.
I guess I'm ready to try multiplayer sometime...probably not today though, gotta try to get better still.

Maybe you're a masochist and like to get owned?

Hidiot · « **Reply #12 on:** December 07, 2008, 04:12:31 AM »

Sometimes you can't build fast, even if for a while (low resources on a Land Rush anyone?)

But you still have to build as fast as possible whenever possible.

happy belated welcome thingy....yea

Hope you stick around, because we're cooking up steaks! Oh, wait...bomber ate them all...um...hambergers? No, freeza got them...some chicken then? Oh wait...Hooman ate it all....hmmm...oh well, heh

Sirbomber · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2008, 12:55:05 PM »

I do love steak. I think we have some hot dogs in the freezer.

Hooman · « **Reply #15 on:** December 11, 2008, 04:07:28 PM »

No, you had burgers in da freeza.

But chicken? I'd rather go with the veggie burgers or something. Or is this in reference to this?

I'm afraid it didn't taste as good as it looked.

Sirbomber · « **Reply #16 on:** December 11, 2008, 04:54:40 PM »

What kind of freak would pick a veggie burger over chicken?!

Hooman · « **Reply #17 on:** December 11, 2008, 05:09:05 PM »

Let's see, vegetarians, and people who just happen to be sick of chicken.

Sirbomber · « **Reply #18 on:** December 11, 2008, 05:32:14 PM »

Vegetarians don't count because they don't eat chicken.
