Zortarg´s Guide to Perpetuum

NEW UPDATE AVALIBLE! (2014-03-20)

download from official Perpetuum Server: link (v1.4)

Hungarian translation by Inda: n/a

This Guide is no longer fully up to date but still contains a lot of usefull information.

I have been working on this guide besides my playtime for over a year now. sometimes with more and sometimes with less time investment. it all started with a very few pages for the industry overview. but for every page you write you have at least two more ideas what you could/should add.

Now we have 33 pages with a lot information for new players and veterans alike.


This guide contains so far:

General Guide:
General Information
Character Creation
Races & Damage Types
Resists & Ammunition
Item and Bot Tech Levels
Robots and Mechs
NPC Tier Levels
General fitting
The World of Nia
User Interface
Movement and Travel

Combat Guides
General Comabt
Electronic Warfare
General PvE
Ratting Guide

Artifact Guide
Artifact Scanning
Artifact types and rewards

Industry Guide
Industry Overview
Resource Gathering
Resources and Commodities
Geoscanner
Mining and Harvesting
General Industry
Research
Prototyp Production
Reverse Engineering
Mass Production
Decoder and CT merging



and most likely more in the future...

hi folks,
i have been working more or less active on a guide for perpetuum for a few months now. i had it on hold since last christmas untill a few weeks ago (shame on me) but now im starting to get things back on the road.

everything still is in "alpha phase". that means dont stone me to death because of the tons of spelling and grammar errors. this will be one of the last things i will do. i still want to add quite a few pages, and the background images in most parts need a lot work as well (which i just copied in most cases).

everything started with the industry sheets, but i soon had decided that i want to take that guide further. with the hint of the devs that the industry part will change soon (and with that i will have to change the guide as well) i think that it may be a good time to bring this here. amd if i dont do it now it might take another five months till i decide to do so...

i hope you like it and feel free to comment on anything that comes to mind.

big thanks to dev zoom for providing me with tons of icons and images (and i still will need a bit more in the future big_smile).

Re: Zortarg's Guide to Perpetuum

Great work Zortarg, I think I can say thank you by the hole community name, this guide looks like very good.

My advice is you should use higlighting the important words, because that is also a good help to read.

i alread have offers from a corpmate for that.
but i might come back to your offer once im done with adding content. 6 eyes surely see more then 4 eyes...

but that may still be weeks or months ahead. depends how much time i will invest (and yes i still have work and im still playing the game.. so no 24/7 working on that guide).

Re: Zortarg's Guide to Perpetuum

That guide is fairly awesome.

Will recommend it to our new starts.

Re: Zortarg's Guide to Perpetuum

Wow. Wish I had this guide when I started. I tip my hat for you sir. wink

Re: Zortarg's Guide to Perpetuum

Nice work man, much appreciated, I just saw this and gave it to a friend who is looking at playing maybe.

<GM Synapse> please don't abuse our fresh players before blowing them up. And for god sakes, don't do that after it!

Re: Zortarg's Guide to Perpetuum

no longer up to date. especially the industry section.
i will work on this again once i had some time with the gamma patch is fully funcional. especially when all the icons are done that are still missing in the game. I will have to poke the devs for this once it is done...
