Insert name here posted:When you look at rooms in the first scanner view (that shows stuff like cut points and the like) each room with have a red or green bar next to it. This indicates its pressurization status: green means pressurized and red means depressurized. That’s extremely useful. In the Geckos you can’t depressurize the entire hull but you can do it for the biggest rooms. For example the passenger gecko can be depressurized safely when you get inside the airlock. The problem is that there’s closed doors to pressurized cargo rooms and the pilot hallway. I find even though it’s somewhat unpleasant due to items being scattered everywhere you can get away with this without any major damage. I tried to cut the entire floor of the gecko so you don’t have to move the seats one by one. It’s effective but you still have to remove seats and throw them on the barge if it gets stuck to the barge at the wrong angle. I wish there was a faster way to fulfill the electrical, mechanical and furniture work orders because in some cases I’m always forced to skip them. Especially mechanical On a side note, using the split saw makes me think this is what Isaac would have been doing if Dead Space was a more peaceful universe. Perhaps this IS dead space and we are simply living out the prequel. Maybe the final mission of hard space is dismantling a derelict that contains a marker?

Anyone able to shed some light on the ship catalog icons, and what they mean? I'm trying to figure out what all the little icons denote but I've not found anywhere in the tutorial to help. So right now, I'm just picking ships at random.

I think each one corresponds to a different base material: Nanocarbon, Titanium, Aluminium, electrical items, furniture etc.

Wallrod posted:The tutorial at first made me think it'd be a nice chill methodical game but it's more like production-line butchery. I admit 15 minutes does feel short, especially when I have to periodically go back for supplies. But like you and some other people said, the point of the career mode is to get efficient at this. Based on Steam users, there seems to be a disconnect between what the developers are intending and what people are wanting or expecting.

One QOL feature I would like is to make the barge/processor/furnace way more forgiving. Especially the barge. Missing them is generally just annoying and doesn't add anything to the game.

"Game is worse because there's a time limit also give us co-op" seems to be most of the reviews, whether it's positive or negative. I imagine the devs are going to have to bow to the pressure of the people screeching about how a time limit doesn't let them play the game how they want to play the game.

Right now I feel like I waste too much time battling the controls, trying to figure out where I am in the space, "can I pull that? no it's pulling me", etc. This is fine initially in the training missions, but eats up a lot of time when you have a 15 minute limit.

So far I haven't died opening those doors so I won't bother.

Controls could use some remapping but i'd argue understanding how the physics of the game and objects work is kinda fundamental. Knowing if you need to tether a panel or grab/bump it is pretty much how I basically was making 2-3 mil per mackerel in one run (before fees). Doing runs down the main cargo area popping all the panels then yeeting the chairs fast is so fun.

I think they could put in alternate jobs into the career mode that are non-timed jobs but pay a little less, but then I can see people getting all pissed off for getting punished by getting less money for playing the game how they want to play it. I just worry that it'll become an endless cycle of trying to please the masses while retaining the vision of the game they intended.

Oh from my previous post: If you're trying to grab delicate electronics especailly from tight cockpits, ofteb it's better to cut out the space around it. Also: Do not be afraid of wastage, at least at the start 1 shift is 500k of costs, so doing 1 shift of 2 million vs 2 shifts of 3 million isn't that much more profit, if you have <30 of a ship left move onto a new one. Also learn which parts to prioritise, on MAckarels my go to is: Get in, go to back, pop back and top off, get the reactor in, do the sides + nacells, get the sides, empty main cargo then grab the good stuff out of cockpit and don't try and disentangle cockpit and airlock between the 2 metal types.

Without ruining it for everybody involved I don't see how it ends without custom dificulty for story where you just set stuff like timer/oxygen/health on/off to get sandbox but with debt and logs. Call it Union mode. Building in work order timed/nontimed or shift timer upgrades is compromising balance and story cohesion in weird ways.

I think adding the ability to turn off the timer is fine, I don't think it needs a balancing counterweight. if people wanna/need to run the game like that that's fine, it's like Celeste's assist modes.

The fuel, 02 and tether quantity already put a time limit on how much you can do before needing to stop off at the jack; i think it would flow better if you were being charged by the minute instead of in discrete shifts. That could lead into a fun choice of eyeballing how many more profitable minutes are actually left in your hulk/is it worth it to strip and cram the whole thing in the incinerator? Instead of just, "well the reactor is still in there, guess I'll go out for another 15, pull it and then throw as many computers as i can into the barge"

Flow better is exactly what Lynx doesn't want. Hands off my perfect corporate hellscape. Charging more for 15 minutes of free time than 15 minutes of shift time is the corporate answer but we get caught on the video game psychology side where now you're punishing people who already feel bad about the game telling them the way they want to play is wrong.

My issue right now is that I don't really know how much money I'm pulling in when I do it. It'd be nice to see like a "+$100,000" whenever I harvested something. Or even maybe just let me know an estimate when I eyeball something. Maybe these things are already in there but I haven't seen them. Right now I'm just pulling stuff, at the end it tells me a list of everything I've done but I can't really remember what specific parts were, and frankly the money system is confusing in general. I have debt, I make money to pay that debt, but shifts cost money? Do I earn LT on the job? They don't explain this well imo.

The best tip I have so far is take advantage of the unlimited time on the last tutorial mission to cut up the entire ship so you can get really comfortable with the controls, it’s all just a ton of fun taking an entire ship and Marie Kondo’ing the whole fucker into bins EDit: you can also save on rocket fuel and time to use the grapple gun + right click to pull you at the ship in the beginning, just be sure you brake in time or you’ll smash your helmet in the process Taintrunner fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Jun 18, 2020 |

It is shocking how solid the foundation is this early. Most EA games you get a shell that becomes a foundation after about 3 years. It's fun so far and has great potential in the future.
