I am finding this game...

Seriously hard to stop playing even with so little content at the moment, even with all the hostile creatures being put in and little means to defend one self (although I find that hard to understand given the supposed tech level), I've died just slipping out of the life pod the first time a couple times heh.

So far I've noticed a few "content" added things, discovering biomes gives a pop up message, collecting the Power Upgrade Module from the Aurora, soldering 10 wield points in Aurora's generation room to stop radiation leaks, other then those I haven't found any other 'goals' persay, anyone else find anything else goal oriented?

Now a couple things I don't understand, as expressed above, given the supposed tech level one would think a map of sorts would be available once Life pod was repaired or even when Cyclops is constucted, No?

Also, weapons, I know the developers expressed a dislike to implement a weapon system, but seriously every update seems to stick another hostile creature into the game and we have no defense to speak of, if the game is to evolve in this manner one will only be able to spend all their time dodging and swimming like hell to keep alive or just sit in life pod the rest of our days, not fun. As it is we have only breakable (?) Titanium Knifes
and the two types of "cannons" and I use the term cannon lightly for they don't shoot any solid projectiles and the stasis rifle that freezes a critter for a heartbeat, lota help there when they are free in the time it takes you to turn and swim away, really..., I can't imagine any life forms that are able to traverse the stars in massive ships would have such things as their only defense and no offensive weaponry to speak of, it makes no sense.

Just my 2 peepers worth

    "the stasis rifle that freezes a critter for a heartbeat"

    Ever tried to hold down the trigger to charge the stasis field?
    Holds quite a long time. Long enough to run beserk with the knife :)

    The people who ask for weapons are usually new and or bad at the game lol, so usually it ain't worth talking about it :)

    Glad you're enjoying yourself, welcome to the forums xD

    The map has not been implemented yet but will likely be in future updates. As for the lack of tech, there are fragments all over the map which you can use to get new tech. So this lacking of things that you notice is due to its pre alpha state. This is an early acccess game at the moment, so it is in fact lacking, though not due to lack of creativity. Goal orientated content is slim at the moment, but there are a good deal of places to explore, and a good deal of tech to find. Stick around and watch it grow. You can run the game as normal or experimental. With experimental, you get daily updates on what they are working on, which you cant see in normal. Sometimes its broken on implementation, but is soon fixed. I prefer experimental myself.

    Thanks guys for your input, but I wasn't asking for any weapons, I was expressing concern for balance, I guess the word might be, in respect to the tech level implied by the fact of a star ship crashing on alien planets.

    I didn't find a mention of a map system on the dev blog/trello pages so expressed that in a off handed question, thanks Duff for a response.

    I had wondered if anyone else had found any other 'content' oriented things in the game so far aside from those mentioned in my original post, but guess got long winded on the tech/weapon stuff, sorry won't mention again :)

    Maps had been implemented in the really early days, however the devs decided to remove it for whatever reason. It probably won't be brought back until version 1.0 releases. My guess is it'll work like Minecraft and the map will fill in as you go, the difference though is that it'll be a 3D map showing caves and trenches

    The devs have allready said that they have choosen the path of not doing random generation and evrything will be handcrafted instead.

    I believe they were referring to an in-game map for navigation purposes that is created as you explore, which is present in Minecraft. They were not talking about the world/biomes spawning procedurally.

    I do hope they add an in-game map, as many other have already suggested. I think we should start with a simple 2D one in our PDA for surface biomes and later on gain the ability to build a holographic map table that had a 3D map filled in using sonar in our subs (plural because I hope the Cyclops will get sonar too one day).

    ...Or don't know they can just stasis gun nearly everything and run or knife it to death while its helpless :wink:. Which is to say, nerf the god stick please, devs!
