I have 230 hours logged into this game. I have 8 of the 16 glyphs. 3 days ago I had 0. The ONLY reason I have that many is I spent the last 20 in game hours warping, go to space station, find traveler? No. Warp again, go to space station. Find traveler? No. Repeat this process until finally after an hour or 3 you find the traveler. Find his grave, get 1 glyph.
I also get the space suit inventory upgrade, and the one from the annomoly. Only recently found out you can get suit tech slots expanded the same way.
Now my usual thoughts is that warping for the sake of finding travelers/upgrades goes against the whole foundation of this game. But I just got someone new into this game, and I KNOW she isn't going to find the 16 glyphs fast. I hadn't made any attempt to get them, and I hadn't found one in 190 hours.
My only hope is to do the glyph finding fast on my own, and hopefully she can send me a picture of her glyphs using her cell phone. Then I can come to her.
But I don't feel bad for cheating like that, when EVERYTHING in this game is a grind.
I find myself doing similar BS in Elite Dangerous trying to obtain items necessary for crafting mid and high tier RNG upgrades and doing a lotta end game content. It's all just RNG and so what you would do is find a relatively small base, or biome that contains what you want, strip it bare, leave and come back to reset it.
It simply isn't fun spending multiple real world days trying to grind out progress on something when everything needed is a random roll of the dice if it even graces your inventory.
Jesus. People still play that? Oof. I tripled and noped TFO right after the Void Diamond & Flagship BS. ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ๐ค
