Can You Play In Co-Op?
Since Revenge of the Savage Planet is available on plenty of consoles (including Xbox One and Xbox Series X on Game Pass, PlayStation 5, and Steam with Steam Deck support), it’s likely you’ll find plenty of ways to take to the stars with your favorite other explorers, and thankfully, you have a few ways toplay Revenge of the Savage planet in co-op mode.
One of the best parts of the game is that you may playcouch co-opon the same screen if you’re playing the game in real person with another person on the same console. That said, if your Pioneer is someplace out among the stars and you’d preferonline co-op, you can safely send the invite to do so no matter which console they have, since the gamesupports cross-play.

Can You Play In First Person?

Not only is this currently how the game is played, but on the Revenge of the Savage Planet discord server, the game’s developers reported that there’s currentlyno plan to implement first-personfor the game at any point in the near future.
As such, you’ll be hopping between planets and exploring these vast and various ecosystems with your Pioneer on the screen. You canexplore the game’s camera settingsto turn off things like motion blur or other settings that may help if you experience any motion sickness while playing.
How Do You Scan Further When Looking For Kindex Entries?
One of the very first things Eko teaches you about when you crash-land on Pfyzzich Beach is how toscan your surroundings to log entries in your Kindex, a system that allows you to learn more about the flora, fauna, obstacles, and regions on each planet as you explore.
Logging a creature in your Kindex does not count as researching it - that must be done from a Pen back at the Habitat computer.
Filling the Kindex will take a lot of work, since there arehundreds of things to logon each planet in Revenge of the Savage Planet, so hopefully you’ve gotten the hang ofscanning oftento see what might be new or unfamiliar in your immediate surroundings.
But if you’d like to look in thelessimmediate vicinity, you’re able to scan even further as you continue toupgrade your space suit at the 3D printerback at the Habitat. Doing so will cost not only printer slurries, which can be found littered around each planet, but a plethora ofresources like aluminum, carbon, and siliconas well.
What Do Selfies Do?
Not long into living at the Nu Florida Habitat, you’ll see the large video screen on the wall opposite the door playing amessage from the Shama Lama, so you’ll need to interact with the television and hear him out. He introduces you to theD.I.A.P.E.R. Programand says he’s already gotten you enrolled.
At this point, you’ll unlock a quest referring to said Program, which tasks you withtaking selfies in specific locationson each of the planets in Revenge of the Savage Planet. For the most part, you can find selfie locations in each main region on a planet, often inscenic locationsthat might be a little off the beaten path. There are16 total. When you’re near a selfie spot, you’ll hear a message in your helmet from the Shama Lama himself encouraging you to look around before continuing your adventure.
You’ll find selfie locationson Stellaris Primelike on the coast of Pfyzzich Beach or atop the Cliffs of Abaddon,over on Xephyron the ground level of the Great Oasis or even in the Larval Roost withthe Wormzilla fight,on Zenithian Riftin the lava of the crash site or snow of Flip’s Big Chill, andon Quasadon IXoverlooking the Trash Mountain or Savanah Lake.
Finding all selfie locations in Revenge of the Savage Planet rewards you not only with an achievement or trophy, but ararer outfitforyour Pioneer to show off to othersthat they’ve found all the beauty on all the worlds.
Do Resources Respawn?
Some of your resources and collectibles in Revenge of the Savage Planet respawn, like some slain creatures, but for the most part,ore veins don’t seem to respawn, which means you’ll need to be pretty mindful of what you’re using your silicon, aluminum, and carbon on when you’re at the 3D printer!
That said, when youdie and drop some lootbefore respawning back at your Habitat in Nu Florida regardless of where you died, it will bemarked on your mapin the journal menu either until you die someplace else orretrieve the lost resourcesfrom the spot you perished. In co-op, you can revive one another quickly to prevent this material loss.
The bright side of this is thatenvironmental blockages don’t respawn, either, so if you cleared some of the jagged purple glass shards or extinguished a fire, you’ll find that these changes are still made after you’ve died and come back to that region.
How Do You Get More Alta Bucks?
If you’re keen on decorating your Habitat with all kinds of furniture, decor, and lighting, you’ll need to stock up on Alta Bucks before you can have access to all those sweet furniture items in the Alta Stoke from the DKO menu on your Habitat PC!
The best way to get more Alta Bucks it to explore your surroundings forpiles of supply crates, orange and blue boxes and are hidden around the world for you to discover. Not everyone box you find will contain Alta Bucks - the ones that do havered lights on the topand can be interacted with like other items, while regular crates can only be broken.
