i want an actual nuclear reactor in the game with "nucleares" (the game) level of managing it
Resetting generators are literally little baby mini games, what PhD are you talking about? lol.
Honestly I feel like the game got boring later on. I'm glad they're adding more. Same with PZ, that game is better than it's ever been. I think you just want your games to be easy. Which is fine I guess, but you're in the wrong place for that dude.
If you struggle with such simple minigames you need to finish kindergarten, and if you got used to controls it doesnt mean they are good. They were not beginner friendly at all and i saw couple people just straight up quit the game because controls were confusing. Just get used to new controls, it takes half an hour
Why couldn't the others just get used to the controls that have been in the game for years? The game shouldn't be dumbed down.
The controls aren't even marginally better. The hold and use should be flipped, the circle in the center of the screen is obnoxious, not to mention anyone with any modicum of computer knowledge should find the alt + interact button controls easy to use since it's literally used in countless pc hotkeys.
Nah I feel like they're way more intuitive. The old scheme is clunky and hard to work with, but I think we all just got used to it. It's objectively better now.
I found it to be just fine. People just need to slow down and read. All this short form content is rotting people's brain and attention span, but you can still do it. Reading is not hard.
With respect, this is a game in alpha and they want feedback. Giving only praise isn't helpful to them.
The learning curve has always been a hard sell for new players, and I've seen streamers struggle in areas of the tutorial. Making them take even longer to get through it just adds frustration.
yeah i noticed this, very first day bro asked for 4 drives like my dude it took almost all day just to do 1 chill, i also noticed the scroll wheel for the hotbar thing breaks constently
I tried my old go fast drivers level at day 4 or 5 ? bro asked 5 level 3 Drives, even with both process and download at 50% upgraded, what takes a lot of time is the Zip Dives where it can fail so much you have to do a drive by at your base to continue the downloads but the new Radar is harder to scan when it takes twice longer to get to a signale with the 3 radars making it go before you have the chance to scan, for the moment it is just unbalanced at all, while aswell now unbgrade modules you have to buy AND install yourself wich is fun.
i meant the controls... holy sweet -19. everything in majority is an improvement in 0.9 imo
But if we don't criticize, how are we going to be sure the game's going to be even worth playing once it enters Beta?
Toxic positivity is a massive plague on the games industry. It's okay to give constructive criticism.
For instance... 3-5 drives is way too steep for the start of the game on the 'standard' difficulty. New players to the game will be put off because I guarantee most won't be able to swing that. I can barely do it and I've been playing the game since 0.7.
If we wanted to have 3-5 drives on standard difficulty, maybe make it so that the random amount you need scales with time, or scales with how many upgrades you have. (For instance, 1-3 on day 1 with 0 upgrades, 2-4 on day 10 with some upgrades, 3-5 on day 20+, maybe with more weight towards the 5 once you have all the upgrades.) Having it just slam you with a 5 drive requirement on day 1 is sure to put people off. It put ME off, and I've loved this game up until this point. This isn't even mentioning the other balancing issues brought by the update.
Long story short, the game's just too hard now. There's too much shit complicating the game, and while each thing on its own would be a welcome addition, it all can add up to being a massive problem. I've already had several scenarios on Week 1 where if I didn't know some of the secrets of the game (like the shower and toilet), I'd have been 100% fucked and unable to do my daily tasks due to RNG/stuff that was out of my knowledge or control.
Well NOW that's constructive, what OP mention is all the negative criticism in that thread that honestly don't bring much to the table. Most people complain about controls when they are objectively better.
My point now, is that people should not feel obligated either to try to coerce devs into changing the game direction based on personal biases. Sure the game is in alpha, the 9.0 is a WIP, and feedback need to be given, but the current tone in that thread is VERY far from toxic positivity.
I don't know if you and others ever did worked on a game or a software, but negativity impact devs mental a LOT, and there are ways to communicate critiscism. And if you don't get that you'll never get your criticism heard and understood, as a dev, i'll die on that hill.
yeah it's a test build for a reason the devs are actively seeking feedback (both positive *and* negative) and suggestions lol. agree with the other things you said though
yeah if you look in the options the swapping R function is turned on by default for some reason
mf it's an experimental build. What were you expecting? Just play 8.3c if you don't like the new stuff
Mine did the same, but it didn't work after downloading 7zip either. Is there a specific way of using it, or does it work passively?
I also like the new controls and system overall though. I'll wait until a stable build is out to play again. I think the amount of trash is staggering but it might be fun to clean it all, it's not what i expected to like about it when i first played. The trash piles you use garbage bags are rather easy to deal with it's the ones made of debris that are annoying because they take up a lot of space in your inventory and containers.
you have to drop it on the ground, hold E to bring up the options, and select "equip"
no i dont know why
holding E doesn't bring up any sort of menus, holding E just attempts to use or activate the backpack
So , now that we have a proper Stolas mascot greeting us in the front room for the base is anyone else constantly expecting to come back one day from daily tasks and find him missing from the mural?
No? Just me?
(And I don't mean in some common horror game "He's lurking in the base now" kind of way, just that his iconography vanishes when whatever role he's meant to play becomes relevant)
