What do you do when RNGesus isn't helping?

Very helpful. I’m a visual person and this makes sense! Thanks.

Yep, Vansten’s guide is like a bible for me. Though I do think it needs a section for “Dealing with forge frustration” On PS4 like me that answer is of course throw controller.

Outside of forging, sometimes I’ll have meteors fall right on me as I’m mining or gathering resources on an exo with regen bombs. You can’t use those next to a meteor, so I just purposefully go over and get myself killed so I can use my regen bombs again.

One time, I had about 4 fall right next to me all back to back from each other. It was about 20 minutes non-stop of not being able to regen an area I was farming. That was definitely the RNGesus gods frowning down upon me…

Are you pc or PS4?

I’m on PS4

My forging alt on PS4 is called HotForger, when I get super frustrated, I drop all forging mats in a closed storage nearby and start the game on PC where ColdForger takes over…

Surprisingly enough that usually seems to work! :smiley:

When it happens, I fully embrace RNJesus and forge with no gum, got aoe and dmg and spd doing that, after 2 rough forges yesterday, added a few gums when i got scared the hammer would end 1x2

Okay for PS4.
I’d suggest tipping over your tv in a fit of rage. Incase you have a wall mount. It’s going to take a little more effort to tear that mother off the wall. Then screaming “I hate cursive and I hate all of you! F this I’m done.” Or other phrase of choice.
Followed by a time out of sorts because you’ll need to purchase a new TV or connect another tv and clean up a small mess.
Hope this helps. And hit me up for more Boundless life Hacks.

So what I’m getting is that in order to forge more effectively I need a gaming PC with my PS4. Problem solved.

Next bad run on the forge I’ll do just this. I see no reason why it won’t work perfectly! :rofl:

Forge fails made me want to throw my controller. So I stopped forging a year ago. I still have a coiled centraforge and some mats but I haven’t forged since 2018.

Just remember that once you switch to a PC, you’ll need to keep several keyboards on hand for when you break them over your knee after a good ol’ forge session…

  1. I’ll get annoyed and then go buy a tool
  2. Build something
  3. Try to forge again
  4. Rinse and repeat.

I just ragequit the game and go browse forums, like i did now ^^

Another alt that can forge works too, I do switch to my crafting alt sometimes as well, she used to do the forging in the past. I actually made a specialised forging alt simply because my crafter is always running around with an almost full inventory and none of it are forging mats! My forger alt runs around with only 4 to 6 spots open in her inventory and the rest are forging mats…

Much easier than switching inventories every time!

Now to think of clever forger alt name! :grin:
