Lodestar - (Open World Sci-fi Survival Game)

hello and welcome today we're taking a look at lodestar this is a uh it's a sci-fi adventure thing being developed by adenic era it's supposed to be supposed to be coming out sometime next year but we have a demo on the steam page we're gonna check out today so this isn't the same sort of uh genre or style as something like no man's sky or like a subnautica in space where we have this third person point of view where we're a space man and we have a mother ship uh and from that mothership we're gonna bounce around from planet to planet we can hop in our small fighter and fly out in space mine asteroids shoot things we can walk around on the planet as well doing some mining and shooting and all that kind of stuff uh it's uh it's built with cooperative in mind i just closed my game i didn't mean to uh it's built with cooperative in mind so you can uh play with your friends if you uh if you wish but uh i'll be doing single player today and get a bit of an intro bypassing bypassing bypassing forcing reintegration to nearest nominal space welcome back captain it has been 18 hours and 12 minutes since dry firing and your loss of consciousness an unknown anomaly has occurred during the firing of the molecule drive causing a failure to reintegrate the vessel forced integration into the nearest available space was necessary though i'm not entirely sure where the ship's engine has been destroyed the mola patel drive is inoperable life she talked a lot by the way so this is our computer ai she tells me basically just pay attention to this stuff up in the top right here we'll go repair the engine let's do that if our power reserves fail there we go all fixed i'm quite the engineer let me check something real quick because it keeps resetting my all good video settings okay okay okay all right so now let's go use the cockpit and warp to alpha one so she yammers a lot she's got she know she's all personality uh but my job here is to go fly to different planets this is another ship we've got all kinds of things we've got recreation rooms we've got a main hall takes us to the hangar bays uh we've got a med bay over there uh and we have the cockpit and like any proper mothership is a big glowy hologram because it wouldn't be a mother ship without it so let's go fly to our planet here alpha one and select that one and away we go all right we're here so uh other repairs must be completed primary structure of the ship before we can further assess a strategy for returning home the ship is currently all right let's go to the hangar bay and get our personal ship and go mine an asteroid will need to be repaired engine rooms over there i do want to show off first though i haven't seen habitation yet let's go show off the green room first because it's very there we cool and we can go see what this is all about because this is extra neat can i jump this i can't use a ladder uh here we go stairs over here check it out check it out my spaceship is very cool we're actually out in space uh i don't know why there's rails out there i guess well i guess i guess we would use them wouldn't we uh but yeah the it's just kind of cool i wanted to show it off so anyway let's go back down here i do want to check out the other room though they've got this habitation room let's just take this into oh that's closed off what's out of here oh just like uh okay what are you a water fountain chairs what a fancy spaceship anyway let's go let's go finish our task here which is to go get into the hangar bay which is over this way so into the hangar bay we'll get our ship and we'll fly around and do some mining and show that part off which is this way we have a drop ship as well which we're going to use to go to the planet and uh do you know um planet walk around kind of things it's one of those games where you know you do crafting and all that and we can eventually upgrade our ship and i am looking forward to having a green bean before this episode is over before we do that some iron here he wants me to get a thousand iron to go get some things built it's a big base building part of this game where you know we'll get ourselves a refinery and a smelter um foundry and uh we'll start making we'll make our guns we'll make some grappling hooks and things for for life on the planet uh i'm not sure how i think a big part of this is supposed to be the the co-op part but um i don't think there's anything you're losing anything it doesn't seem to be at least from what the demo i've played somebody just fine single player sorry that was kind of weird uh you can see these little these little rocks coming out i'm mining those things for the for the iron some of them don't seem to come to the ship though hey come here uh i've got my thousand i'll go ahead and collect a bit more though because i know i'm gonna need it so we'll get uh we'll tear this guy up with any more bits in there we'll take them uh you can see some stats here there's lore we'll find out on the planet i have 2 000 iron right now and i'm level 15 mining already because i don't mess around and this game really likes to level you up no matter what you do you walk over sit on the couch 15 levels makes you feel real good though pop-ups all over the place like i'm on twitch okay take that and uh and that's i have not found the planet though i don't know where the planet is i found my ship but let's go dock over this way and uh we'll hit on whoop whoop well carefully doc good thing this guy's got some shield or something i'll go down there we go this way okay okay nice and easy you did not float off and become lost in the vacuum of space sure didn't with the resources you have gathered you should have plenty of repair my drop ship okay fixed i suggest now let's go ride the drop ship to the planet and acquire some tin ore okay i sure hope this is a nice soft landing nothing nothing riles me up more than a rough landing on a on an alien planet congratulations captain you have successfully discovered extraterrestrial life even though we may not make it home to report this to our superiors isn't this exciting it's thrilling all right so i've got a mining gun in my hand right here this i call this the uh the no man's sky gun basically running around here pick up some some rocks and grab some tin once i get a thousand i'm gonna go back up there to my ship and make a grappling hook uh and a gun so we can go walk around and actually explore this planet i think the majority of the game is is supposed to be well i don't know i say that but i think probably a majority of the game is going to be on your ship getting sort of a base building part you know where you get like your um where you do your crafting and stuff you come down here get your materials go back up the ship run that thing a bit upon return grab some tin over here i've got some more might as well since it's sitting right here it's all going to my inventory which we can see there i've got a thousand tin now i still have a thousand um iron which i will use if i don't actually use more than that maybe i should got a second second asteroid plenty of tin all right let's go uh let's head on back we can go down here let me show you this real quick so what we're going to get to is there's another tin thing there but to get on the other side of this rock i need a grappling hook that's what a green thing is there it's kind of a weird thing um we can't just grapple wherever i'll show that in a second we have to have these these green boxes that we have to grapple to i don't know what alien put those green boxes there but uh it was mighty kind of them i'm not sure if it's a thing that's a it's going to be a permanent thing in the game or if it's just like a demo thing just for like you know get you going um there is kind of some puzzly bits to it though which i'm thinking they might stay and i'll show that when we get to it but let me run back over here forget that tin we'll come back for it uh those rocks are tricky uh back up to the ship to to build ourselves a foundry over here i'm i'm too cool for sitting down i don't know i don't do that i'm gonna break my neck whenever this thing lands anyway so what's the point of sitting down who needs a seat belt so when we get up here we'll set up a base building spot and you can put it wherever you want this reminds me of like i guess a bit like subnautica where you come back to your station and you put out your bits for all the automated mining not mining automated crafting things which we're going to do now um now we can come out this way we've got a uh our army is over here we're going to build our our guns and things which we'll do here in a second but uh i'm going to put them out here so we'll go build and build ourselves a foundry we can make like you know we've got uh banquet tables we're fancy a cooker we got planters planter lights there's some tech over here for a biotech station which we can put out at some points but uh i'm gonna put in a foundry and this is real big so uh just wait for it here there we go that's uh that that'll do uh and then we're gonna put in a tin bar and get a thing going so 10 goes in there makes 10 bars we can kind of collect them as they go we can make it bigger it will get bigger as we upgrade the thing but uh that set that up um i'm going to get another one of these just because i want the iron to do its thing also so let's get a iron foundry as well and stash this guy over here i think the green square is like the is like the max size of it there we go so we'll put uh iron bars in that one and let it do its thing i need 50 tin bars which we'll collect there and we're gonna hop over here to the armory which was here and go get ourselves a grappling hook over this station over here and whip up a grappling hook so all these guns uh they can be upgraded at least some of them can this guy which costs 50 bars for some nails which what that is we can get this a longer grappling hook range up same thing with the gun we can get better firing rates it's only 50 of these nailed to make this thing and we can get a shotgun which i'll do here in a second um because the story this was kind of weird so it takes you to where i'll show you here grappling hook does that and it takes me down to the planet to go show me how to use it uh then it had to come right back so rather than do that i am going to go ahead and collect you up um and uh and are you doing tin oh maybe oh maybe just both of them um um oh you know what i'm iron bars okay just 10 bars fine um but uh uh it's going to send me back up to the uh oh it switches over whichever i okay i see um back to the planet to go make a gun so rather than do that i'm just gonna make i'm gonna make this thing right now i'm gonna make my refinery when i get 500 of those things and um make myself a gun before i go down there like that up i got 438 now and then you there's the iron that's kind of that's kind of weird okay whatever no tin what's going on here okay okay whatever wait do we get 19 more uh there we go and i do want iron i think next so let me switch the swing over to iron uh all right so let's go over here and build a foul uh refinery i'll stash this guy back here it's just a bench there we go all those i got a tin hammer a tin saw a tin toolbox uh we're gonna make some tin nails for my gun i think it's what i want and like 50 of them so let me go get some more tin here hook this thing up toss it over here and get those nails started up so i can go make myself my gun that i want and uh actually i'm gonna switch this thing over to iron now you'll see why in a second and we'll go make ourselves a gun shotgun please here we go craft that thing up if we want to get better fire rates or damage rate damage uh up it takes 1500 of these nails so um it's i'm gonna just start it up when i get back i can i can increase that damage that's what this guy's gonna do here he's making these iron nails but i need 1500 of them 1500 of them to do whatever we wanted to do so uh that's what's uh that's what's happening does it like reset whenever i do that how does it collect it i don't know i'm not sure what's going on there yeah whatever so any iron bars we need iron nails sure let's go back to the planet and shoot some aliens hop on in and uh yeah we learned our lesson last time this time this time we will land nice and safe oh wow all right so let's go head on down here and say hello to some aliens first though i will finish mine in this tin guy which i don't know if i need tin anymore but it's in my way it's not really but it's there i'm gonna blast ourselves some some aliens here in just a second and go explore the planet so this is what i'm talking about scroll want me to go over here use the grappling hook and just look on the other side and then go and then go back to the ship but no we're going to go over here and you can see there's some aliens down there there's some scorpions and we can see by the health bars we're gonna go shoot them nope stuck head on over this way so normally i come down here and it says okay go back and go goodbye this is a gun done that already though so i'm gonna go whip out my gun crafting yourself a weapon blast them take that these things are kind of mean i can blast them together though which is kind of nice let me see that laptop thing on the ground over there that is a lore piece which we'll find in a second we bit me but we got them we don't do anything with them they just we just we're just here to murder no skinning none of that uh but this laptop on the ground which is strange uh is uh is a lore piece which if you want to know story bits there you go it's um quite a story so we've got still things in my pocket and uh i'm a level 30 miner right now now my job here is wait i made did i like 50 10 nails i did oh my my tutorial is broken well that's what i get for skipping around i guess my job here is to go find some amber i might have to go and do this we'll see how it goes take that buddy uh i made the 10 nil maybe because i don't have any in my inventory i don't have enough it's not going to do it for me oh uh i'm gonna go grab some amber though while i'm here there's another next quest so let's go bounce over here you may see up there sometimes there's like these green bits and this is what i'm thinking uh it's a bit of a challenge that's that's part of the challenge is finding your way up there so i think those things are gonna are here to stay oop hello buddy this gun is terrible and i'm slower than the there we go scorpions maybe i'm same speed but i'm i'm here looking for some amber that's my job there's plenty of iron or tin around see tin everywhere some bugs around my ship is back that way [Music] but let's go over here let's skip by this guy i'm going to shoot him take that let's see why i wanted the damage up now okay oh for instance here's here's an example so right here oh oh yeah check it out look you see my ship up there fantastic uh what about the old grappling hook and i guess i'm supposed to do this and then somehow that but uh i tried this before and it ain't happening because i'm too far away for this one so i have to grapple i have to wait till i get to the top because i can't i can't grapple grapple oops missed oh i got it oh man i spent when i was before i started recording this i spent so long trying to get this and i failed every single i remember thinking man i'm glad i'm not recording this because this is embarrassing i did it all right all right i think i uh i aced computer games today uh which is not doing any good because there's no amber around here what am i even doing up here there's lots of iron around or tin i mean let's go uh let's go over that way somehow yeah let's run over there see if i can find the uh the things i'm looking for these rocks they really get me there's a bug up there i'm not seeing any any amber we'll see a big flag like the tin has a big flag above it like that let's see one pretty easy a spot there's some more tin over there and some more we have some some lore over here oh hey buddy oh i got the grappling hook out apparently i can't hit s and three at the same time okay [Music] plenty of tin for me to pick up around here i'll grab this we'll see what this is all about what we got here what's next starship response orbit over planet alpha one or moments after reintegration it's like a book all right another one of those bugs there which i want to deal with him i've killed enough today already let's go look for this amber here [Music] that's where i came out isn't it i made that heroic leap all for nothing [Music] there's a bug right over there let's go see if we can deal with this guy um maybe we need to go oh yeah i think we need to go in there where those towers are look i mean no harm i'm just i'm just here for your amber i mean don't tell your friends please just me and you okay a mean little bite on them all right so now i think this is where i want to be oh yeah there's one over there okay okay and i just want some over here oh yeah right here all right now let's get some mining bits out and get that so i need uh i think you only need like a hundred of it i'm gonna grab a couple of these things and i'm sorry i'm doing the tutorial out of order um i'm uh yeah because it's a little messed up there it all makes sense so i'm gonna grab those uh i gotta get back to the ship there's another one over there i can go grab i don't need it though there's more lore up there too all kinds of good stuff up here this is like about the aliens or something hello lots of little bugs over there i'd like to not fight you guys if i can avoid it but i can't make that again nope okay uh let's go i'm fast can i just run by these guys i'm gonna try to collect a big train of them up let's see my health is pretty low actually okay we're gonna head back [Music] i hope i can go back this way are you guys still following no just one of them just one of you he wants a piece all right let's go over here still there oh yeah yeah let's do this buddy you're so committed oh you gave up he's growling at me and everything all right so back to our ship here which is over this way and uh i mean we'll go around this way avoid oh nope i banged my head luckily there's no fall damage i got another friend here okay but we can go and grappling hook our way up here get out of the way okay back we go back to the ship we'll go and do what it wants us to do i think once we get the tin nails it'll be all right pressure build another shotgun it'll be all right or really if the tutorial is messed up it's fine all right back to the ship warning drop pod launch commencing there we go it's very cool the ship is up there i don't know i i don't know why i like that but i do even more so than my drop ship clipping through the floors all right so now back into uh not the space can i go out here no uh back out this way and we need to go to my spots here and you're full right put those nails up and collect you all up and you all up and then more iron okay so keep those going let's get uh oh let's make those those uh make some tin nails to get this tutorial done this should be pretty quick yeah there we go 50 of those return to planet kill a monster i'll come on now i killed a million monsters uh i'm gonna have to just to get the tutorial done all right uh i'm gonna do that real quick i will i will uh spare you the um the redundancy okay back to the ship uh i did mention something about how other species may be required for food uh which i guess we'll do that when we get to cooking maybe that was when it will unlock it um but we're gonna go fix up our engines now now that i've done all the bug killing so go to engines and increase its power it says no it's in the engine room which is over here which is i guess it's oh i see so we want to go to main hall i think and then nice ding uh engine yeah engine engines and increase its power upgrade the engine okay oh it's a green engine now over the planet via the cockpit console and locate more resources all right can i upgrade you as well are you auto upgraded why you still blue all right well back over here to the cockpit and we're gonna go do some flying around i guess let's see where we can what we can do about this so yeah alpha a patel drive engaged i mean i'm already here maybe i wasn't all the way here uh sorry finally produced 10 plates all right let's go make some plates that was back in my main hall here explosives and then find a hidden cave oh i haven't seen that yet okay so let's go down to the hangar bay back to where everything is and with the refinery make us some tin plates make some of those please i'm out of 10 bars am i ready make some tin bars please there we go so once those are done then uh i don't think i can i think i just set this up like this i think it'll auto do it am i correct about this i am not nope so give me those and then 10 bars there we go i mean i need 50 of them i'm a bit short okay so many levels up all right to the army craft and explosive that is gonna be my sticky bomb i think yeah sticky bomb let's make one of those [Music] great adhesive 100 military grade adhesive great for blowing up suspicious looking objects from a safe distance okay i think these are them these little guys all right find the hidden cave the hidden cave all right then back we go bomb in hand uh into the smoky ship and back down again i think i'm assuming to our same we did move though so maybe we are going somewhere else that's all the same i don't know why i had me go to the cockpit and move and it didn't actually move everybody came to touch it over there okay let's go let's go find that cave hey my uh my tin's back the bugs are back too this plant looks very familiar [Music] okay let's grab that when i came back down the next time they were all moved around i'll probably shoot some of these guys oh you hello and you got a friend i don't i didn't heal up i don't know how to heal up that's certainly gonna be a problem if i uh if i keep getting chewed on here because i have no health a little concern i probably should you know what i do have a med bay that probably would answer that question what's going on oh there's a no it's just one okay is there what oh up is it pointing up cave detected is it you want you want me to do that don't you oh yeah you're a jerk game i did it once i'm not doing it again nothing down there big opening here a couple bugs over there looking at me um it could be i think it's got to be it's got to be that thing it has to be all right so let's get the old wrapping hook out here goes up that's not not a good sign i see that's like so jerky i it's not that it's not like i don't know there's like no when no window for errors but that thing gets in the way maybe i do like this and then turn and then no it's not possible i'm not ready to sing again what all right yep yep yep now the thing says it so [Music] i don't know i'm gonna look over here though my drop ship's over there surely it's the other way let's go look over here hmm [Music] i'm not quite sure what i'm doing here find the hidden whoop almost fell maybe this is maybe i wasn't supposed to jump up here what is that thing oh it's just a platform i thought it was a bug um all right so it it's pointing down there there's clearly nothing there it must say go there shoot your way up here was there one i missed because i went through there and then anywhere else i don't know i could try fall on this little walkway around nothing up there this is the edge is that my ship right there oh yeah it is hmm am i blind something tells me i'm blind i'd go check out where all those bugs are but i'm kind of scared because i'm so hurt i don't want to lose all right all right i'll do it oh did i just find a secret way in i think i did i think i found the secret because yep okay um yeah where was this at okay you know what uh if we don't really need to use explosives we could just jump around there's some amber there all kinds of good stuff around here and there's a laptop in here and that's a weird mushroom i'll collect you how do i get you have i collect you pickup plant okay what's the lore all about here there's another log file yep excited doc sure more lots of amber around here uh maybe enough to go fix my ship up again uh build a plane i gotta go back to my ship build a planter or you wanna do it here can i do it here i don't need iron surely i do it back in my my ship i don't know maybe we do it here that'd be kind of neat according the mushroom in the cave go build a planter cut a hundred mushrooms uh from my planter i'm guessing uh yeah i'll go do that i'm uh i i i might be a little on lawn iron what is a planter it just takes iron bars planter that's cooker cooker planter takes up uh those that's tin 100 iron 110 bars uh i can do that easy let me grab one of these things just in case i don't have enough i think i do though but there's plenty okay um i suppose i could also just make the refinery and all that stuff i'm curious if i could do it here can i come in here can i make a foundry here oh i can oh okay okay let's do it here why not i claim this as my new home i need a hundred of these things and then i'll i'll make a planter i want a planter to what what do you mean that what do you mean oh i know what's going on they're getting used by the nails up in the up at the station the nails the nail maker is uh is hogging them all i can try to do this really quick before it gets taken by the other thing or i can just go back up to the top so we're going to try this this quickly though we'll get like well we need to get like 300 or something because i don't trust myself grab those real quick build my planter real fast because i can use pretty fast so i'm going to uh c e and then uh that one come on click for me click it's why is it clicking oh come on planter okay it would get stuck in the menu all right uh use planter uh mushroom okay 100 mushrooms let's see where this goes i assume i can do this on my ship as well i kind of assume that's the way you're supposed to be doing it but maybe not so let's go look at you and oh you know what i think i was doing with this ship i think i was i like wasn't because you have to go way off of it to get off of that that's what i was doing with those two foundries i see my mushrooms and billy cooking station set the cooking station to produce shrew muffins shrew muffins is the name all right cooking station oh great more that tin okay let's do it build this guy and a cooker right okay it's true okay let's make some shrew muffins i guess that's 100 hundred mushrooms for one true muffin what all right with dinging there's two all right well we'll just stay here for any ten of these things all right let me uh let's do a little time warp here okay two planters are better than one i can just also just hit c to collect these things up i think and uh there we go i should have 12 mushrooms now build a banquet table and eat the shrooms all right all right i'll probably need more of this tin so let's collect up and build a banquet table oh be no nice if i could cancel my refinery somehow but i'm gonna wait until this thing does its job grab a bunch of these things up says i have some all right click this up and uh make the table click click click and i will consume let's buy nintendo all right there we go we gotta upgrade our things upgrade the customized mining ship and the hangar oh yeah okay i can't quit playing until i do that so i guess i could destroy all this stuff if i didn't want it anymore just to bring it back to the ship with me okay now i'm going back to my ship and i'm gonna go and uh uh i gotta go get can i get that [Music] maybe i can no just more amber uh i'm gonna go get a new mining ship the green bean is on the uh is the idea all right i i may have discovered a really fast way to get back to your ship and it involves okay here it involves dying i was i didn't have a record button pushed uh and i uh i shot out my grappling hook and as it was out there i got chewed on and i died one bite uh anyway back to the drop ship uh no no into here to go upgrade my yes yes yes yes this one i wanna one green bean please yes i want one of these also and one of those equip you as as the other guy [Music] okay that's fancy and then what do we have over here space cadet nice okay that's cool um anyway it's about good place to call today so this is a load star it's coming out sometime next year there's a demo out there that you can see uh in the link below on the steam page thanks again for watching and i will see you next time
