i'm saying there's no adequate alternative option to just sitting in main room collection signals because there's nothing else to do, and even that gets repetitive really fast
EDIT: i am not saying that this is a problem, the problem is that it is this way for too much time, again, no gameplay changes for many updates
but there is really nothing else to do besides signals
you can clean entire base in 1 day2 days(thanks for garbage bag nerf, nose), base decoing is just a filler "mechanic", you finish deco and yeah, that's it, now you collect signals in style
digging stuff with metal detector is unrewarding, you either get scrap or trash that you only can use for scrap, but there is nothing useful to craft besides omega and parts for mining rig, fishing is... underwhelming, farming is a joke, "cave exploration" is useless unless you want more omegas
but the story event are "haha look at this thing"; "look at this weird picnic" (the game almost forces you to see it, you don't find it because you "explore the world"), "haha look at that warp arrow" (you just get your mail filled with junk), "spooky sounds from the vent" ("horrors in vent" idea goes nowhere), "haha look at this weird treehouse" (arirals and their rep are useless, unless if you don't have points for food ~20 days into the game, and their "horror" element was ruined by dev's actions), obelisk and wisps are flashy but boring, just avoid them while outside, that's it, the don't "provoke" actions from you
if only tha game told me to redo the tutorial although changelogs didn't say anything about major gameplay changes that would make it worth to redo the tutorial
exactly, the problem is that after "nailing down the core gameplay early" the gameplay loop doesn't change at all. get signals, get hashcodes, send everything, repeat. The only change in this loop is that you gain the ability to upgrade signals, but it's just another computer that you insert disk into and it does stuff.
p.s: "need to step away from the game for a bit in order to refresh your experience" i played for ~1 week after release of 0.6.3, 0.7 and 0.8, "burning out" is not the case
Although it's good we got several patches in last couple of days, i don't really see the point of them. Nose just nerfed garbage bags several times, changed help button in passive-aggressive manner... and that's it, basically.
The bugfixes are good, but i can't remember any meaningful gameplay changes/updates besides cremator since 0.6.3
Are random spooks and performance-eating visual upgrades more important in the game than gameplay?
(also, door numpads interaction change was pointless, but i can imagine it took a lot of time to implement; was it worth it?)
Have you guys noticed in modern times people are way more likely to just ask about something rather than look for the answer themselves? It's not about votv specifically, but in other thing too
