    Easier to just ALT-F4 out of the game when you see the first pop-up. Even closing a non-bugged game works abnormally and takes forever, sometimes the game just hangs there, but not with ALT-F4.

    Sorry to read about your disabilities, but happy to see you having enough guts and will to play games. I surely can't say how I would react in the same circumstances. Hats off to you sir.

    My feelings regarding some of the development issues date from a long time ago, and I saw many players come and leave since then. I saw a "cycle" go on and on, and it's not likely going to change because most players do not stay long enough or do not read and keep track of lots of the game's facets at any given time, so they can't have a somewhat global picture of what's going on. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone here, because there is an opaque wall between the playerbase and the "developers" about whom we know very little.

    I can go check almost any company and see who's doing what, I can see curriculums, past achievements, all kinds of things to help me make up my mind about the real people behind the brand. But here, I feel like players are treated like children, and even some players tend to copy this in their demeanor towards other fellow players. That's the start of a toxic environment, where genuine productive discussions can not take place.

    And that's not my cup of tea.

    Well isn't that what most of us tend to believe ? What if suddenly you came to the realization that your input is worthless and only your attitude counts ?

    In other words : what difference do you believe it would make if you were not here "helping make the game better" ?

    Are you seriously expecting anyone here to tell you bluntly "your input is worthless" even if you were to do your best to suggest nonsense ?

  5. If it's a bugged game you don't care about, sure.

    I don't recommend Alt+F4 with this game if you plan on keeping the save, because it can (and has) lead to the save being corrupt due to improper shutdown.

    It's the same as if you're power goes out suddenly.
    It doesn't lead to a corrupted save game 100% of the time, but it happens often enough it should be avoided at all costs.

    Hello. I've been testing Empyrion for over 600 hours now. I found many bugs, but I can´t report them, Unfortunately the "send email" button doesn't work. I help myself with clearing the cache and let Steam repair the files. Each time some files are downloaded again. And the game continues for now. I would like to help and report bugs. Has anyone any idea how I can do this? (Sorry for my horrible english.) Empyrion is a great Game!

    Thanks to the developers for improving the low resolution graphics. I am probably one of the few who first appreciated this innovation. The graphics have improved dramatically and well. I thought that I would play Minecraft with this optimization for eternity.
    But I also ask the developers, in the next magazine of corrections and additions, to remove the points about missions and other insignificant nonsense to the very bottom. Since for those who do not understand English, all this is sheer nonsense and a waste of time. Better make the toilet flush not when my butt is sticking out there, but when the character gets up from the seat.

    Cool, starting a new game now.

    *** edit ***

    <snif> Looks like the legacy color tool has been removed...
    ... but not the legacy texture tool?

    Hmmm...
    High explosive anti tank?

    Thanks Eleon for the patch. It's great content is being improved and added. I really enjoyed my Exp playthrough even if the end was a bit buggy.

    Also many thanks to sulusdacor for updating and adding a prefab. Your work is greatly appreciated.
