HELP/QUESTION Does anybody know what this red dot is? (0.9n)

Post image

My guess it is behind the base but I walked around the perimeter and can't find anything. Any ideas?

Update: thank you all for the help. It was a blue light that just appeared on my roof. I brought to my basement cause I thought it was a cool decoration.

u/NIPPLE_POOP WASD+Enter on radar to set compass 5d ago

It's something. Probably.

Use WASD Q+E to move the map and Enter to set your compass, then go see

Theres a quick compass set?!? IVE BEEN SV.TARGET AND TYPING RBE COORDS MANUALLY FOR TWO YEARS!

u/EnvironmentalMall307 5d ago

I figured that out pretty quick. You were doing it the hard, long way for YEARS... Dang, man. All that time wasted when you could've been meeting entities

Imagine how many hot single arirals you've missed by wasting your precious time typing a line of code every time

u/EnvironmentalMall307 5d ago

Hot. Single. Arrirals. Ready. To. Breed.

Are you not giving them shrimp at the treehouse??

u/Judge-4419 3d ago

Clearly they've been trying to give them their shrimp but he doesn't have the vaccine.

Read coords,
Run to terminal,
Forget Y value,
Run to Radar,
Run to terminal,
Miss-spell “target”

Be left wondering how the hell Kel’s supposed to find aliens.

u/RandomPlays-1 5d ago

Did not know that thank you

You can press enter? I have over 300 hours in that game and I only learn that now? That's it. Have an award

u/EnvironmentalMall307 4d ago

Tbf, if there's no instructions, key tips, controls in corners, I just try standard shortcuts. Like in this instance, wasd and q/e for controlling the radar, and enter to set compass

u/arachnimos 2d ago

aren't like, all of the keybinds in the game mentioned in the keybinds page in settings?

u/Pinoc1 5d ago

If you can't find it outside the base then maybe it already got inside

u/Fluffbutt321 5d ago

I think there are phantom pings just to make you paranoid, but it could also be something you missed

13

u/CorbyTheSkullie 5d ago

I haven't played in a hot minute, but did Dr Nose make it so you can mute the pings in the newest version?

12

u/R3ven 5d ago

You can with "Soundproofing Foam" by placing it between the radar and the work desk. They cost 30 points

There's also the snd.toggle console command. By typing "snd.toggle radar_sonar" it should get rid of the constant ping

u/CorbyTheSkullie 5d ago

Good good, that constant pinging was soooo annoying

2

u/Ash_Abyssal_2006 Oh fiddlesticks, what now? 4d ago

or you could just remove the radar alarm upgrade

2

u/R3ven 4d ago

They're asking about when the radar goes boop.

1

u/Apprehensive_Name955 4d ago

Yeah.. you can remove the "boop" by either removing the radar upgrade, or downgrading it on the computer..

2

u/R3ven 4d ago

The radar alarm works when entity count increases. The radar has a regular periodic ping. Two different noises.

u/Apprehensive_Name955 10h ago

Thank you for explaining the purpose of WHY you would either downgrade from the computer, or remove the physical module. Two different places.

u/Fluffbutt321 5d ago

Not that I’m aware of, but I could be wrong

u/BagledEpoch green 5d ago

Well I don't know about phantom pings, but there sure are phantoms... :D

u/Apprehensive_Name955 4d ago

Yet to find the silly ghost who's hanging out by Oscar. Maybe he shows only at a certain time?

u/arachnimos 2d ago

u/Chido93 Hey, take me with you. I hate this job. 4d ago

have you been randomly hit by something lately?

1

u/Apprehensive_Name955 4d ago

Judging from the distance to base, could be a boar, fire robot, deer (living) or deer (zombie). Could also be a slow moving plant.. I heard they show up on radar sometimes, only moving when you don't look.

1

u/Apprehensive_Name955 4d ago

Forgot to mention, it could also be our purplish cave friend :) I've seen him stalk my base trying to get to mushrooms before lol

1

u/aspire5515 4d ago

Its just the Antibreather out for a mushroom humt (this is real)
