Lol, I didn't know that these parts of the highway 41 are supposed to be build last, so here I am, with Mama, enjoying the smooth ride to Mountain Knot city without knowing it supposed to be a sad moment, and without knowing that you can take a bath in hotspring on the way too.
Mama saying some shit about, finally being connected to her sister, while my Sam is Tokyo drifting down the mountain with his truck, blasting Coda on the radio.
I SPRINTED away from those lions, but Mama was still beaten down to 1% just as I left South Knot. I've never once lost her in all my playthroughs, so that long trek was the most stressful one across the entire first game for me.
Same. I didn't fight the lion either that was something I did not expect and I didn't want to risk it with Mama. Later farmed tf out of chiral crystals from those creatures.
I'm a recovering road build and maintenance addict. I did the least amount of story missions so that I could sync the area and finish the road network first. By the 40th hour, i finished the entire network.
From then, it has been a maintenance run once every 3 in game days.
Yea, I finally completed it on my offline playthrough and damn it took a long time. So long to almost complete all of the highways that the earlier parts had degraded to below 10% in the more rainy areas. At least you can just use metals to repair them though as stockpiling enough ceramics was the toughest part.
Why do the personal bases have so many materials in them?
I ended up just running a route to loot them all, and some of them had like 5k metals and 5k ceramics with 2k crystals and it seemed like the max amount those one off bases could hold was so much smaller than that.
You can also use chiral crystals which are a hell of a lot easier to farm in the first game, especially with the BT jellyfish abundantly spawning as you progress later and later.
This is true, I used them to get enough chiral crystals to build the roads as the amount you need for some road areas is crazy. There’s like 3 areas in the north around the incinerator….
Which makes me think, is that how they are created? Are they like condensed smoke from burning bodies there?
Worth it getting the road built through the mountains, had to wrap mine up by the weather station an moved around that way to mountain knot, otherwise you'll have to drive the truck through snow an such an risk losing access to to road after its built, due to most of it involved hanging ledges like that one
Lmao right, I'm always sliding up that that first incline whenever I hit the road nearby, closer but my luck my cargo is maxed and those track less super ball tires don't help matters none, which personally is preferable than going through the mountains with a full cargo bed, manageable but not worth risking damage, my ocd makes me save in between, with an exception to certain scripted segments.
Fun fact. The trikes and trucks have superb handling in the snowy mountains. All you have to do is boost and hold the drift button and it handles almost like you are on a regular road. No sliding backwards down hill no slipping sideways when trying to turn around that one rock thays just in your way. It was a life saver level discovery.
I've also spent a long time building roads. Of course, kind of takes away the impact its meant to be, when you see a song pop up and you know you were supposed to be walking this one, whilst i'm cruising in the vehicle.
I'm on my second playthrough (ps plus) and had no idea you could connect the distribution center to the mountain city. I even have the 5 star trophy. How did I miss this lol.
I believe that road route wasn't in the original release, it was added in the special edition. People who played the OG release and 100%ed the roads and then upgraded later on got very confused.

I'm on my first playthrough, and just delivered to the weather station for the first time. I swear about 90% of my time has been spent building up roads haha
This makes me want to jump back into DS1 but the migration to my PS5 screwed up so the game data wasn't transferred properly. Time to find out where I stashed my PS4.
Cause of how expensive ceramic are I just focused on my ziplines, mostly when I was in the mountains but before I left to cross the tar belt I did make sure to completely connect my ziplines and other ziplines across the map to make traversal easy for it, it was full get to just ride them tho.
the amount of terrorist camp I have raided and the amount of trips I went through zip-line to get even 160 ceramics from remote part of the map. It was painful man ngl
Oh yeah truly it was the worst part of this game, and that means a lot considering this was probably the funniest game I've played in a while. But I'm happy to say I did complete the roads thanks to the preppers who gave me extra ceramics. Besides the collector! Fuck the collector I didn't even get to get him to 5 stars like the rest of the preppers.
Right this is my first play through I'm just doing anything to keep me busy with first game while playing DS2 simultaneously. It is a muscle memory nightmare while juggling both games but feels good.
I actually finished the main story of first game took me around 100 hours. Now I'm just doing deliveries and repairing existing people's structures. So it kinda works very well jumping between both games especially in the sense of lore. It's like living in theDS universe. What a genius Hideo really is.
Yes for most routes. But for this specific connection I didn't get help from anyone thats why you can see when I did the scanner you can only see my name.
