Good thing you can just buy them for cheap on the market , they don't even need to build them!

But how are we to gather energy from the oceans of nia!

I think the developers are averse to adding any new bots of pretty much any kind sadly because after all the times they have talked about it nothing ever happened.

Feel free to prove me wrong devs o/

Please leave this thread to people who actually farm for plasma seriously.

Lemon is right, you can make far more on alpha. Try a beta 5 star mech spawn.... Gamma farming is the weakest of all three island types.

Gamma NPCs are the most underwhelming part of the entire thing...

Risk vs Reward is crying.

The risk has been exponentially increased but our reward remains WORSE than living on a beta island.

The change itself is not bad, its the context and the manner the change is being executed. Make gamma actually worth living on before you remove the only legitimate reason to live there besides epeen.

There needs to be additional risk AND reward . Otherwise its not balanced.

The current incarnation of NPCs on gamma has little of either I might add which does not really suit its nature very well. Its a high risk/reward environment.

+1 this is hurting new player experience and needs to be fixed

Yes, we need more PvE content in general. However I think PvE content can be challenging without 5star NPC's on alpha. What is the point of farming anywhere else if you can get the very best in complete safety? You can already do this with beacons.

There needs to be increased risk for high end PvE content like smarter AI that works together, reps eachother, specialized ewar bots etc. Increased risk does not necessarily have to be from PvP but it needs to at least match it in a way in order to keep game ballance. Something that challenges players in general.

And yes, the game needs more spawns. Let me breakdown current spawn ballance.

Alpha: A couple good 4star spawns for medium-high end players but not enough to support a larger population.
Beta: Some good 5star mech/hmech spawns here, probobly the most ballanced of all the islands
Gamma: Total crap, its currently not even worth your time to hunt down roaming NPCs here compared to beta spawns / beacons
Beacons: Ballanced just fine right now. The only form of NPC farming currently worth your time on gamma. Rewards increase as you can run them faster on beta and even faster than that on gamma with the right setup.

TLDR:

Add more level 4 alpha2 spawns
Make farming worth your time on gamma somehow
Add new exciting PvE content for all players

Yeah, artifact scanning should always receive niani versions of new modules as soon as they are intetroduced to continue to give artifact scanning a window of opportunity.

I am sorry artifact scanning has been neglected here.

The Great Hokko Potato Famine: Streamed live from general chat!

WARNING: Tons of epic potato explosions and sap loot!

Target painter says hello.

A detection nexus would be pointless because you pretty much only use a detector in 1-2 bots. Guess it could be used as a way to mitigate masking nexus but seems like it would not be the optimal solution at all.

This is a sandbox game, to take a path of higher resistant simply because its not "easy mode" is never going to happen. Players are going to maximize whatever they can regardless if it means using a 3rd party tool.

I personally don't care whether they add this to the game or not because either way I am going to continue to take the path that leads to maximum profit for myself whether that means using a 3rd party tool or not.
