In the video, the host provides an in-depth overview of the ATLS GEO mining mech in Star Citizen, highlighting its features such as eight paint options, a resource pot for material storage, and tools for mining operations. The host also explains the GEO’s flight operation menu, including the mechanics of its mining laser and booster jetpack, while confirming its limitations in space usage.
In the video, the host explores the ATLS GEO, a mining mech in Star Citizen, providing an in-depth overview of its features and functionalities. The host expresses excitement about returning to the game’s science and mining aspects, sharing that the GEO has eight paint options, with a focus on the new “Key Stone” paint. A tour of the GEO is conducted, highlighting its single-entry button and the operational controls located at the back, including buttons for setting up packs and tools.
The GEO is equipped with a resource pot that can be purchased at various space stations, allowing players to store up to 100,000 micro SCU of materials. The host explains how to interact with the pot, including options to carry, replace, or open it. During mining operations, players can collect ores using a Goo tool while another player manages the GEO, enhancing the multi-crew experience. The video notes some bugs affecting the carry option, but the host demonstrates how to use a tractor beam to manage the resource pot.
The video continues by detailing the tools and equipment that can be stored in the GEO. The host clarifies that the so-called “weapon rack” actually only accommodates a multi-tool, which may confuse players expecting to store firearms. Additional storage options for mining gadgets and other tools are mentioned, emphasizing the GEO’s utility for both mining and exploration activities. The host also discusses the limitations regarding what can be stored, noting that some larger items, like certain weapons, cannot fit in the GEO’s storage.
Next, the host provides a flight operation menu for the GEO, explaining the mechanics of its mining laser, which operates in two modes: fracture and extraction. The video covers how to control the laser’s power and switch between modes, as well as the ability to adjust the intensity using mouse wheel controls. The host also discusses the GEO’s booster jetpack, which allows for quick vertical movement but has limitations in directional control while airborne, requiring specific key combinations to maneuver effectively.
Finally, the host addresses the GEO’s functionality in space, confirming that it cannot be used in EVA (extravehicular activity) in space but can operate on planets or moons with gravity. The video concludes with a recap of the GEO’s capabilities, emphasizing its role in mining and exploration within the Star Citizen universe, and the host expresses enthusiasm for further testing and gameplay with the mech.
