It looks like blurry shit but I still love it. Never played the game before last week. I'm sure it will get boring eventually but goddamn this is fun for now.

I just found out yesterday you can summon your ship to you, holy shit does that save some time!?! I have been running for fucking ever before knowing this.

I am sorry to hear about your losses, losing that much shit sucks in a game like this. Hopefully Hello Games will fix this and compensate the players affected. I was really hoping that this update would get me back into the game but after hearing about that I'll be waiting for the next patch I guess.

Not to excuse anything whatsoever (the bugs can certainly ruin the experience and the fact of their existance is shotty QA), but the disappearing units can be recovered by just using a freely available save editor (that bug is/was caused by trading in a ship for another ship, and not just buying it outright), and the freighter/base bug is fixed iirc, but was caused by teleporting to your base from the nexus.

For the save editor, you just need to make sure you don't get temptation to ruin the experience by making yourself a badass. I've used it to re-add quicksilver (because when you spend nanites, if you have quicksilver, that gets spent as well, which is another shitty bug). I've also used it to reset a quest because a waypoint went away after arriving at a freighter crash, and I didn't have the materials to open up the containers which is required for the quest, and I left the planet to get them (mordite and faecium which were not on that planet), and realized after the waypoint was completely gone and there was no fucking way I was going to be able to go back to that crash site.

Again, not excusing the bugs, but giving a workaround if you really want to keep going.

Well I just saw their 2.08A update.
  • Fixed an issue where buying technology upgrades with nanites could also remove quicksilver or units.
  • Fixed a rare crash when summoning the Space Anomaly.
  • Fixed an issue that caused the Exocraft Technician to have an incorrect interaction.
Still no key binding fixes, which is surprising. These 3 affected me. Other fixes as well though.

The keybindings thing is driving me insane.

I every FPS/3rd person game with asdx instead of wasd because it is incredibly painful for me to play with my finger on the w key the whole time.

The good thing is you're used to pain and misery so I'm sure you'll get used to it by the time they put that patch in.

This interface is truly appalling. Total exact opposite mechanics to any rational way of thinking. Stuff that shouldn't toggle does, the press and hold stuff ught. I feel like I'm playing a cheap flash game from 20 years ago.

My quest line stalled out at "search base computer archives", so I carved the top off a hill to see if it would collapse. It didn't.

At least every single video game that comes out doesn't send me into a blind rage about how shitty it is.

Hey what are you coming after me for Captain Downtrodden? All I said was shots fired.

Are you trying to build through things and expecting it to handle it? It doesn't handle it...

Just doing the initial line of quests. It hangs on the read-stuff-at-base-computer step.

It was the one in the lower right, search base computer archives. You get that step 2 or 3 times as you advance through. 2 of those times it got stuck there.

When I logged in to take a screenshot of the journal it fixed itself like:

Almost like I had just placed the base. Buggy ass game.

So do you never get out of your space suit? I colored mine like if I just did a bunch of quests for greens in a new expansion in a mmo.

I'm beginning to enjoy this now that things actually work, mostly. I did find a dupe bug but it was just for ferrite dust so not terribly useful.

I have found three crashed ships so far and it has allowed me to claim all three. They were all full of busted modules. The first one, I fixed completely up and am using it. The second one, I fixed the engines, flew it to the closest space station and traded it in for the first clean ship I could find. The third one, I claimed it to inventory but left it sitting on the planet.

Is there something else I should be doing with these? Is there a way to sell them outright without trading them in?
