    Might be cheaty, might be an exploit, but seriously...put two or more directional thrusters facing down on your HV. Hitting the turbo/jump button will get you airborne, or rocket you along the ground to help you get unstuck in these situations.

    Thanks Eviscerator. I didn't think of adding parts while trying to get it upright. I guess I could have tried that. I rage-quit that game...and deleted all backups.

    Understandable. HVs and SVs are such an investment in the early game that their loss can be crippling.

    Having played it before buying it extensively , and now finally have bought it . I say it has all the makings of a nice game ( star forge anyone ?) but at the moment is far from that final goal obviously . It has Nice mechanics and actually detailed crafting but It lacks any real sense of reward of purpose right now and after a while it becomes the same old mine and craft endless loop .

    what i am trying to say is it needs more diversity

    all in all i give it a solid 7/10 in its current state

    i ll start by saying i like this game a lot and hope the devs see this as im probly not the only one.
    there are 2 things i dislike about the steam integration.

    1. the game wont run unless steam is running. so if my internet goes out i cant play and it does often because i live in the country.
    2. my ingame character in survival now has my crappy steam name.

    Cricket sounds for feedback. I love this game but cricket sounds? Is that the best someone could come up with? What was wrong with the sounds they made early or if some problem, make it alien sounding. Leave the crickets on Earth where they belong and get an alien sound for the insects.

    I've also found that if your net is offline the game will not load at all. That seems a bit BS to be honest. Trying to run a local world shouldn't require access to steam servers, setting steam to offline mode should be sufficient and let it work, it does for almost all the other games.

    I've also found random people can hop into my game that's suppose to be run offline. I don't mind playing with others but I want it to be when i allow it, not just whoever happens across my game... Why is it even broadcasting?? Is that why it can't be done offline? This isn't Crackdown 3! It should only allow a public or friend game when I tell it to. There isn't even an option that I've found to kick people from what should be a local game only.

    I really would like to see these things changed.

    Whoah, that's possible? That sounds like a big issue that needs looking into. I don't need to have griefers coming into my singleplayer game.

    Seems so, I've had 3 people pop into my game already tonight, I quickly exited afterwards. One was even called Honeybooboo.
    I don't know if it worked or if nobody just has tried since, but I set my server port to 0, and nobody popped in earlier after that. Could just be random tho, as I'm not entirely certain what that even does in the menu. I build computers, not networks heh^^


    Edited:

    Yeah, this shouldn't be happening in an offline game.

    I have to say I LOVE the cricket sound...it beats the heck out of the groaning and Mooing I've had to tolerate for so long. Until they have the time and resources to give them each a credible(and livable), sound...I'll enjoy listening to crickets.

    PS:Harmless animals shouldn't sound like a deranged T-Rex! (Just my opinion.)

    I don't love the cricket sound. Far too Earth-like. I hope it's just a placeholder.

    I have been really enjoying the game so far. Most of my complaints have already been taken care of(I'm kinda easy to please).

    The only things I can think of at the moment are:

    some mechanic (possibly a modifier key) that makes a picked-up item go straight to the toolbar(if there's room), instead of into inventory

    I am hoping the recently changed terrain-plantable seedlings will be made so once again later. I like planting gardens at my base entrances for decoration, and of course for food.

    I'd really like a linear key for camera zoom. As it is, if I hop into my CV, I have to hold down shift and scroll down ten thousand times to get the ship in my screen. If there were a button, say up arrow or down arrow, then that would make it a lot simpler.

    It would be nice if the camera would remember your camera position too. The present lock-to/switch-back setting/view may not be optimal at all times.

    Hello I can't see where to start a thread hear so I am leaving a suggestion here. I would like to see teleporters in the game make them expensive and make a minimum of maybe only 3 or maybe one on each planet. If start trec can do it you can too.
    just an idea.
    Love the game.

    FFS. It's a bright blue button that says 'Post New Thread' on the upper right of the forum page.

    I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this, but some of the cockpits are not appropriately symmetrical for a block-based building system. The width of a cockpit should be at minimum 3 blocks since when building a ship with cubes it will usually have one block at it's center. For example: Cockpit B seems to be 4 blocks wide.

    If there has to be cockpits that are an even number of blocks wide can there at least be odd-number counterparts?

    Rapid and general feedback for Eleon studio. Of course I do not talk to players in this post.

    Eleon, I have over 1,200 hours of play and experimentation. A hundred creations of all types of vehicles and bases, finicky, precise. I created cities, industrial areas, race circuits .. I theorizes and applies concepts of constructions, dozens of ingenious discoveries. Tricks that sometimes I give in MP and are loved. I am not exaggerating, you'll be amazed by certain blueprints or my solo savegames, most are now incompatible but I have screens. I'm not exceptionnell, I am content to exploit that allowed the game.
    +800h in solo, especially on Omicron, not on Akua the casual survival area for dummies.
    In short I think I have enough perspective to have a profound review of the current prealpha gameplay.

    Everything was fine.

    But the latest patches limiting the possibilities of the player without making any sense or interest have definitely ruined my desires to start solo parts: bases disappear, drilling limitations, reduced difficulty, too many resources ..
    Before I had to survive veins with 300 units of ressources, now I find veins of 6000 ..

    In a new game I have not access to basic tools from the start, and conversely I lack nothing in terms of resources.
    I have to start at zero when I know very well what I want to do, what my goals, what I want to try for this new game.

    The game takes a casual orientation.

    Some hijack the debate by saying that criticism is pointless because the game is in a preAlpha version.
    In reality, I say as I feel the game with plenty of experience to say the game has become boring : due to tech tree but not only with that.

    I bought a survival game project, I end up with something which I do not know what to do : solo or MP, its boring with the recent updates. A solar system may not change that if nothing better will be modified about technologies / skills / too much ressources..

    EDiT : I forgot, and Happy New Year celebrations ;)
