I would like a small quality of life change which would add a digital map "seat" to the front of the ATV to the store. Or the ability to hold items while riding the ATV.
I have a colander for memory and my sense of direction is awful so I have to rely on the sv_target command a lot. It would be much more immersive if I could look at the digital map while riding around to figure out where I'm going. Right now, the only way to do that is to get off the ATV and look at the map but the digital map doesn't show the direction you're facing, I don't think, making the whole thing not worth the hassle.
I know you can nail the digital map to the ATV and everything and I've done that in the past but it's a buggy, band-aid solution which resulted in me losing the digital map in the past.
I would also like to see the opposite of the "Solar" gamemode. The gamemode would feature an eternal night. Kind of like the Halloween event but the time would actually go on as normal.
I was thinking making the daylight hours into the "regular" night while the night hours would trigger the spooky super darkness event which would persist through the entire night.
I really like the super darkness event but it's pretty rare and overall inconsequential so giving it more "depth", so to speak, would be pretty nice.
I also don't like the dream events. Most of them exist to waste the player's time. The attack of the shadow mannequins and the horizontal water chase thing can be pretty easily circumvented and they "reward" the player with a full sleep meter, but... if I wanted the sleep meter I'd just drink coffee, an action which would take me considerably less time than the repetitive dream sequences.
I don't get the rising water one at all. I think I've seen in some videos that you need to climb to the top of the pillars using little off shoots or whatever but I can never find those.
I don't know if it's a thing, as I now realize I never bothered to check, but I would like an option to "cancel" the nightmare event by pressing the ragdoll button, ending the nightmare prematurely and losing sleep like you normally would when you "fail" a nightmare event.
I would like to see more reactions from our employers. For example: if I send 15 bags or raw, human meat and enough bones to assemble at least 4 human skeletons back to HQ I'd like something more than just "package received, bro".
Doesn't have to be super dramatic. Something like "Package received. [Amount of points] have been added to your account. ... Please don't send us those things again, Dr.Kel..." would be perfectly acceptable.
Speaking of HQ: I would like a fake-out chain of events. The player would either get a direct line of communication with one of the cool doctors, the ones which send you sushi, or a series of notes arriving randomly with your orders/the midnight drone. In the communication/notes we would get words of reassurance/hints/whatever for a few days after which the entire thing would just stop as if it nothing happened.
The event can conclude with either nothing, a reveal that it was the aliens fucking with you all along or a cryptic message from one of the not cool doctors which would say something like "your situation is beyond our control, Dr.Kel" or straight up "[the cool doctor] has been terminated" which would reinforce he whole "you're alone against the world" thing the game has got going on.
I would like additional options for events. Specifically, I would like a menu slider for how often the "unique" signals appear. Right now, it feels like they are very rare, They are most probably rare on purpose but you know.
I HATE the tractor beam event. The fucking aliens had nothing better to do so they low grav'd all of my stuff off the ground and scattered it all over the place. I don't fucking want to sort through all that shit AGAIN! Space ain't gonna scan itself, god damn it!
Also, Kerfur Omega is WAY too expensive now. Every single part now requires "inferior" Kerfur parts, so that's a MINIMUM of a 2500 point investment, not to mention all the other stuff you have to get. Why bother? By the time you get one story mode will already conclude for most casual players.
I get that that's the price for convenience, as Kerfur-O can literally do your job for you, but it's not worth it.
I've been playing this game non-stop for the last couple days and now my left hand is kinda messed up. Not sure if it's related to the game but the, uh... unique controls definitely aren't helping.
Last but not least, PLEASE add an upgrade for the satellite rotation speed. It is PAINFULLY slow early game. "Hide" it behind the "funny setting", if you must.
That's all for complaining. Now it's time for the good stuff!
I like the new models. They're much different from what the game was going for in the early versions but I don't think they're out of place.
I REALLY like the fact that inferior Kerfur can now be FULLY controlled from the computer, despite the fact that the option has now been locked behind a 400 point paywall. Absolutely worth it.
I'm not sure if I should thank my new hardware for this but the game runs a lot better now. In the previous versions the lights in the base would cut the FPS in half, leaving the player with around 26 FPS while inside the base. Even when I used glowsticks so I could see where I'm going at night, sparingly too, I still got like 40 FPS, at best. Now the game runs at a stable 60.
I like what you're doing with The Hole. It's very neat and I'm excited to see what you'll do with it next.
Same goes for the "asshole" at the bottom of the lake. Quite intriguing.
I didn't get a chance to check it out for myself yet but the promise of farming is interesting. It makes sense, considering the ever-elusive story of the game.
Wolfgang is awesome! Furfur's okay, too.
I REALLY like the Argemwell music! You can turn that into a very rare signal with the funny setting on. That'd be pretty cool.
The wall building thing is pretty neat. Anything which allows the player to customize the base to make it truly their is always welcome!
Can't wait for the wooden wall panels and flooring you are definitely going to add at some point lol.
