Gadzooks! I'm terrified of this little child who is going to stab me with a knife. I must wrest the knife away from his control and therefore gain the upperhand.
I am cautiously optimistic this will make the game better, though I am still not sure what to do in this "chill simulator".

Is survival obnoxiously hard or just an actual good challenge? Is that what most people play?

God fishing is so stupid and boring and I agree I want it in every god drat game ever. Why the gently caress is fishing so dope?!

Holy poo poo is the world gen interesting now, this was my starting planet:



The mountains were absolutely huge. This screenshot doesn't even really capture it, I wanted to get to the top of a massive peak behind me but I was playing survival and I was dying.

You can leave dark soul style messages in your uploaded base for other travelers. Maybe that was in before this is the first time I'm playing.

I will say, I am very much enjoying this game but gently caress are the controls criminally bad.

gently caress the "quick menu". gently caress the inconsistent use of q/e vs a/d. gently caress the fact that the game won't just let me bind things sensibly to my keyboard.

Let me bind "T" to switch perspectives. let me bind "i" to open my inventory. Let me bind "M" to open the galaxy map. Let me find "L" to turn on my flashlight.

God damnit!

How the gently caress do you escape sentinels in space? I was too far from any planet to dive to the surface and I could never boost away. What a frustrating mechanic.

Have they fixed sentinels yet or are they still lovely? gently caress being forever locked into space battles.

Jump in ship, jump back out of ship. Reload.

Wanted level doesn't carry over during reload

God damnit I don't wanna cheese the game I just want the sentinals to be somewhat balanced...

Space combat is insanely easy on any difficulty tbh. Some tips:

- if you shoot enemies in the rear end they take multiples of damage. Avoid the head on pass and swing around to punish them after they pass you.
- Your starter ship has rockets you can switch to with triangle (not sure what it is on pc). This is a good way to punish enemies coming at you head on. If they take enough damage they’ll go into an evasive roll and stop firing and maneuvering. This gets them past you, then see above.
- your ship is remarkably tough. This is true on both survival and normal. Focus on one target and ignore the others. Remember, focus on one target because enemies are fully capable until they’re dead
- you actually have a locked on target you can switch with d pad sideways (again, on ps4, also I just think this is the key I forget). While you’re locked on, if the target is outside your FOV there will be a red arrow on the border of the screen pointing to them to fire on them
- remember, not all weapons are hitscan. If you have an active weapon that has a travel time there is a circle that is ahead of the enemy in their current direction of travel that you need to put your reticle on when you fire. Keep in mind that this is a projection of their current velocity, if they change speed or direction shots thst are on their way to the old location will miss. This is why you reserve rockets or ballista for when they’re on a head to head run and not maneuvering

Do the above and space fights are insanely easy. Just watch your fields of fire so you don’t hit he station or freighters or whatever

What I don't understand is just that the enemies never ever stop coming. If I get caught out away from a planet I am just hosed in an endless loop of forever being unable to boost.

I think I'm sick of survival and am going to switch to normal. It just feels grindy but not harder. Just annoying.
