In the Star Citizen 4.1 update, players face challenges with the text-based Foragers Guide for the Royari Incorporated collection contracts, which lacks visuals and is plagued by bugs during item submission. The video offers alternative foraging strategies, recommending specific locations for efficient material gathering and clarifying the item hand-in process to help players navigate the new contracts effectively.
In the Star Citizen 4.1 update, players are introduced to the Royari Incorporated collection contracts, which come with a new Foragers Guide designed to assist in locating the necessary harvestables. However, the guide is criticized for being text-based and lacking visual aids, making it difficult for players to identify what they need to collect. Additionally, there are reports of bugs that disrupt the process of handing in these items, leading to frustration among players who are trying to complete the contracts.
The creator of the video expresses their reluctance to produce a traditional guide with images and tips due to the time-consuming nature of finding the required items. Instead, they emphasize the inefficiency of following the Foragers Guide’s instructions, suggesting that their time and that of their viewers would be better spent elsewhere. They provide an alternative approach to foraging that focuses on more effective methods for gathering the necessary materials, including revenant pods, heart of the woods, proa sunset berries, and amosi plague.
For efficient foraging, the video recommends heading to outposts and distribution centers on planets like Microtech and Hurston, particularly the Sakura Sun Magnolia distribution center on Hurston. The creator notes that these locations often have respawning boxes of harvestables, allowing players to maximize their collection efforts. They suggest wearing a heavy chest and backpack to transport items back to the ship while minimizing potential losses during the foraging process.
When it comes to handing in the collected items for the contracts, the video clarifies the procedure. Players are advised to use the freight elevators located at the Ryari pads for submission rather than the inventory interaction method. Instead, they can send items down using a backpack or a small SCU container, ensuring that all items register for mission completion. The creator notes that these contracts do not contribute to reputation gains and offer only small monetary rewards compared to other revenue sources in the game.
Finally, the video touches upon additional items required for other contracts, directing viewers to the creator’s guide on the Hatheror orbital laser platform for further information. The creator invites feedback and thoughts from viewers regarding the new collection contracts and concludes with a reminder to be cautious of bugs in the game. Overall, the video serves as a practical guide for navigating the challenges of the new contracts while highlighting the inefficiencies of the official Foragers Guide.
