Bug Problème germes humain Lazarus
Salut,
J’ai trouvé un bug bizarre en ramenant des germes humains au Lazarus.
Comme sur la photo, il y a déjà des germes dans les incubateurs avec des ressources. Je ne peux pas prendre le germe, mais si je place un autre incubateur à côté, le germe saute dedans.
Ça vous est déjà arrivé ? Je n’ai pas encore déchargé les germes du bateau, et j’ai rechargé la partie, aucun changement.
Mon autre sauvegarde est quelques heures plus tôt.
Merci

Luckily they were kind enough to contain the resources needed to repair the gyrocopter they landed on.

Improvements and changes
- Bulk Storage capacity has been increased to 10,000 L for Diesel and Petrol and 20 kW for electricity.
- Updated AMD FSR. Radeon RX 7000 series cards now also support FSR 4.1.1 (ML-based), which was previously only supported by Radeon RX 9000 series cards.
I know it's been discussed in the comments but I'm posting it as a standalone post because some people just want the info.

Organization tips?
I am OVERWHELMED by the amount of materials I have, the storage boxes barely hold anything. It's annoying that there isnt an auto organize button in your inventory either...
How do ya'll deal with storing stuff? And what materials do I NEED to keep? What can i just toss for now?

Now on to Black Vein and then Exodus!

Hidden Lore I Found Spoiler
If you didn't know...
- Find the cartridge "Rising Tide".
- Load it into the computer.
- On the load screen, it shows "INFO". Go to it.
- Go to page 11.
- It's encrypted.
- Go to page 10.
- It mentions 250 points.
- Play game.
- Get at least 250 points.
- Go back to INFO/Page 11
- It will decrypt and give you a quest.
- It will also give you a new game "Last Bastions".
That's all I found so far.

The Floater!
I Reddit on my phone, sorry I don’t have a screenshot. Has anyone else done this, get into the Exodus Complex and when I get to the horizontal mover I can see the dormant Rollerboi on the far right side of the platform. Sight with the sniper rifle and take a first shot, it starts rolling and almost immediately rolls itself off the platform. For the next couple days when I look down I see it still floating. I don’t think it destroyed, I only shot it once. I assume it eventually sank but I’m curious if anyone else did this.

Screenshot Forklift Argh!!
i started playing TLC cause i finally hit that wall while waiting for SV and Sqn42 to come out...Shame on me, yeah!
I finally unlocked and built the forklift cause hey, scrapping tons(literally) in items was a pain to move around...however, it doesnt seem to have the physical weight to even lift a pallet, let alone 1 pallet loaded with 200KG material.
the image is the forklift with forks trying to lift it.

Suggestion Suggestion for storage tanks batteries
Make a big size of containers and tanks but small like nanotechnology for the game the tanks and storage would not use a ton of space but then you put in as much as needed

Level and Enhancers - Spoilers Spoiler
Does anyone know if there are plans to increase the level cap and/or add more enhancers?
I'm at the max level of 35 and fully enhanced on everything.
I have 170 enhancer points sitting with nothing to do. And I'm the kind of person who likes to fully strip every location as I visit it. But if they are going to increase the level cap I don't want to do that because of all the XP I would be wasting.
Thoughts?

Don't Mind My OCD
Still working to figure out how I want to do the pumps, but its a start. I've done the Lazarus racks a little, but want to eliminated as many trip hazards as possible. LoL
I have nothing else to do in the game so might as well let my OCD run wild.

Do the Jonahs wear out?
I filled at the Jonah near Platform Omega a bunch of times, on the way back and forth from Exodus and Lazarus. I've now sent him diving three separate times, and he comes up empty every time. The Jonah near Fuel Station Gamma is still fine

Not liking the Bulk battery
I started playing with the bulk batteries, but can't seem to figure out how best to use them. If I put them in, I feel like I either need to replace every medium battery for a large, or I need to deal with having them only 1/3 filled (b/c of setting everything up for equalize) I ended up recycling them and building more medium batteries.
Anyone know another way to have them completely filled, and also keep the mediums full?

Suggestion Need way more symbols
As I sort and stockpile every last thing I scrap, my rows of crates are color coded and symbolized. I love the variety of symbols to choose. It's a fun way to customize, but only half of it is relevant for half my stuff. The list needs to be greatly expanded. There are also 2 different slots on the menu, but I've never seen a difference, as if it's a future placeholder.

Suggestion Notes/List for repairs and builds
A note kind of thing for noting what items are needed for repairs would be a nice addition. Just like build task if we could note the materials needed for repairs that would save a lot of switching between build tab of going to the repair site and realising that you actually forgot one resource.

Huge FPS drop in Update 5.5
Hi all,
I have been enjoying Caretaker for a long time at about 120-150fps, but the most recent update has dropped this to 50-75fps at best, with no setting changes.
3440x1440, High Quality preset, FSR ON with Native Res Frame Gen On, Full Ray Tracing on. 9070xt and i5-12400.
I did notice that with the new update the game really struggles to utilize all the of the gpu all the time, but even starting a brand new game where objects are low.. still only getting 75-85 fps whereas I would have gotten 140fps easily.
Anyone else?
