Empryion Cheat Sheet

Build and Test in the Same Game

  1. Create a New survival game with the W/V ENABLED.
  2. Load game, press ` or ~ (left of the 1 key)
  3. type these commands: gm (god mode fast fly speed)
    cm (creative building)
    im (item Menu (h))
    sbp (Spawn any blueprint) Start Building.
  4. for testing do these commands again:
    cm (removes creative)
    gm key (removes god mode) Then you can test the restrictions like normal. You must use the "cm" command to set it back to survival before you exit the game. If you exit the game as creative you will have to load the game, use "cm" to make it survival, exit the game, and then reload the game to enable W/V again.

General Tips

  1. < Shift+O > Requires a Drill weapon; use in a HV to change from 'FREE' mode to 'FIXED' mode. This will lock your vessels pitch (Nose up/Down) and yaw (nose left/right) and roll. Use to force an angle in drilling and leveling a vessel while hopping in and out of it.
  2. < 'Lock' > Copy the textures and color of the block your pointing at to the block you have selected in your toolbar.
  3. < Split stacks by 3> This is a universal math trick. See How to split a stack into three.
  4. < Each Stack keeps it's shape> Simply have multiple stacking in your toolbar for quickly alternating between shapes

Step by step Merchanting Guide

  1. Find the Trading station on planet, Mining Station on planet, and Trading station in orbit. All of these are on all starting planets. "Landing Pad B" can also randomly be there and those sell ingots. too.
  2. Just kill predators in their territory for a bit until friendly. You will get levels doing this. too.
  3. Find the specific traders that sell these things: A) Tier 1 Weapons Trader, B) Tier 2 Weapons trader, C) Ingot Dealers, D) Trader that sells T2 Multi Tools
  4. Build and sell the basic things these people sell. The best things to sell are EVA Boosts (once you can buy gold from one of them or if you found some) and Sniper Rifles
  5. Both Weapons dealers and the Ingot dealers sell Magnesium 40-100 at a time. All of the traders respawn every day as long as they are off of your screen when you use a tent.

If you are lucky you found the trading station with both weapons dealers and the ingot dealer on the planet (there are multiple styles of trading station), in that case there are 3 people selling Magnesium and you will get 120-300 Magnesium every trip and still make tons more money you can spend buying other resources (the sell Cobalt and Neodynium too!).

You will get more than you spend if you buy every resource they have as well, it is a renewable strategy.

Things of Note you can stock up on or get doing this:

  • Neodynium, Cobalt, and Magnesium
  • Refined Pentaxid for warp fuel
  • All Meds (You want 40 Medpacks and 20-30 of each big kit to hit POIs? This is how)
  • Medium or Heavy Armor
  • Any combination of Armor Boosts you want
  • Food, including Emergency Rations
  • T2 Drill and T2 Multitools + Charges
  • Plants + Plots to start a garden

Changing Thumbnails for Workshop Projects

@HIGHLANDER Today at 2:57 PM

Instructions for adding a thumbnail pic:

  1. Save your design as normal then exit the game completely.

  2. Locate the folder for your blueprint: . Right click Empyrion in your steam library, select properties>local files>browse local files . Look in the folder Saves>Blueprints>{steam ID} for your blueprint folder e.g mynewHV . inside that folder will be the screenshot of your design as an 800x450 JPG file.

  3. Create the image you want to use and make sure to resize it to 800x450 pixels. (easy using paint/GIMP/Photoshop)

  4. Save the new image with EXACTLY the same name as the screenshot e.g mynewHV.JPG

  5. Overwrite the screenshot in the blueprint folder with the new one.

  6. Start Empyrion up and enter a game. Open your blueprint menu and you should see the new pic!

  7. Now publish to the workshop, or Update if its a design thats already on the workshop.

NOTE: you will need to do this after every time you save your design.
