Had 3 terrible runs into Spaceport for the mushrooms, gunned down by raiders each time. 3rd time the guy who shot me got attacked himself and I helped the other over prox chat kill him while my life ebbed away. Next game I'm missed the mushrooms by seconds only for the guy to drop them for me when I told him I was going on my way, then another guy dropped his guns and told me to kill him as he'd just missed the mushrooms too! I escaped with 2 cred missions done and mushers. Cockerel is now fully upgraded!! Woot!

I took eight snitch scanners and one wolfpack into a run to try and up my hornet numbers.
Not a single hornet spawned, just wasps. Although the Wolfpack did deal with all of them, I think a few might have been killed by others being called in and spawning on top of eachother, or collisions. Not entirely sure how that works.
And one of the snitch scanners didn't get damaged, so maybe it didn't go off the first time I threw it. Perhaps there's a limit to how many drones you can call in at once.
In any case, failure.
And I can't find a team to help me farm them. Shooting at snitches to draw them out works a bit, but all drones seem rarer on electrical storms. I'm not sure about night raids, but I've not had luck with finding groups of them.
And I really do need a major map condition to double my points.
None of this applies when I'm in a group ofc. Then there are loads of hornets. And naturally every group I'm in doesn't want to shoot hornets.
Edit - I think the snitch scanners only spawn wasps.

I'm saving mine up too, there's an achievement to encounter a raider downed by an Arc spawned by a snitch scanner, it's one of the last ones I don't have. It's harder than it looks, so some poor bugger is going to have to deal with like 20 wasps at once I'm afraid lol.
@BUDFORCE I have some pressies for you

I've heard that that one is bugged right now. But I'm already collecting more for the futureI'm saving mine up too, there's an achievement to encounter a raider downed by an Arc spawned by a snitch scanner, it's one of the last ones I don't have.

No mention if we are going to get any new Quests, or if the original quests get re set with the optional wipe. A set of new quests would be nice.
I have everything ready for the expedition. Not sure I will bother as the rewards don't seem that great imo.

I think its just the original quests resetted, though I expect there will be some new quests with the update relevant to the other patch additions anyway.
Was always going to happen. We'll get the deluge of 'this game needs a PVE mode' posts soon enough.
Well, guess we see after the wipe, for those that do that. Right now those that are waiting for it is just messing around and probably just killing everything in sight for fun and giggles.. wouldn't know though as not had the time to play for the moment. But it is a guess from what I seen on twitch..

Most of my solo games (exc stella montis, tho some can be) are still mostly friendly. Duo games last time I tried were just a firefight.
I'm only lv25 and still haven't managed to upgrade many benches past Lv1. I seem to be insanely unlucky with finding what I need. I have spent the past week of looting trying to find a cat bed for scrappy and having no luck. Checking residential buildings etc. Starting to think he's destined to be Lv2 for life.

red lockers in dam testing annex will almost always give you a cat bed

Or the apartments in the north west of the map if you spawn nearby.

Me too. I like the not knowing if you're meeting a good human or a bad one
And I'm having that much trouble finding mushrooms that I'm thinking maybe drill another raider through the head and loot theirs

If you not already done it, do it during Lush Bloom events and you get loads of mushrooms and fruits from the baskets spread around the map ?? I done a couple of those events and think I have like 6/7 mushrooms.

I've only seen the lush bloom events a couple of times, I did join them but back then I was after apricots
Nobody yet has encouraged me with the cutting out of all the work and letting another raider do it idea

More fun to find them yourself and extract, then stealing them from some poor raider that just being hungry !
If you want a bit help when all the events are, you can use this website.
