The engine is limited with light. Migrating from one zone with a certain handmapped coloring to another one does not only take the devs a while to tune it, it's also a boundary too hard and less seamless with fading in and fading out. There are some…

You're lucky you didn't play it before the Cuddle fish update. It was even far worse before then and got better lately. I assume the work on that is already in full progress.
Most players (including me) already got used to the performanc… -
One example:
If the game had a dozen vertical pitch black holes bundled together at a place going down deep and some of them had real evil and others good treasure in it, then the player would beg for a flare to light up the situation in… -
There could be a lot of peaceful solutions for torpedos or decoys:
- Illuminating torpedos that light up the dark in front of you.
- Or scanning torpedos that do a far range scan of the cave ahead of you.
- Torpedos that attract …

I meant the missing animation with having just teleportation. Not the bugs with climbing ladders. Those should be fixed before release. Especially if there's only 1 save together with autosave. Any bug will be written into the only… -

They could call it more general:
Reasonable tech tree (new: batteries excluded and more) -
A long time ago I found out that even when you find genuine ways to kill creatures, the devs soon closed that backdoor, so I have found that moving around creatures and knowing how to use the proper given tools is far more reliant and relaxing for g…

Theoretically you could use them if the game had long dark vertical tunnels where you could see far ahead in the depth with them to discover a luring predator at the bottom. Unfortunately the game doesn't have these places. There are only a few dark…

Sorry, but I don't like this tech glitch. I don't know if it's sarcasm of the tech system or real fun, though.
The devs should soon start polishing the tech tree. For one example they should only produce objects without batteries or powe… -
That wasn't the first roadmap and release shift we've seen and a small shift towards the end of the year probably won't hurt too much. I agree that a release too early might ruin the reputation that was built and that it would take a long time to re…

I mean sonar targeting creatures, but as it is far more powerful, I'd like to have it being a tech upgrade.
The scanner room on the other side could also target flora and fauna. It's quite different to use anyway.
-
At least the orange key gets some importance now.

Excellent.
I wish bioscanning would need an upgrade to sonar mk2.
Same with Cyclops sonar and scanner room biotargeting.

You have to have some first aid kits in your inventory for such a dance. Each time you get hit and are not within reach of safety you have to open the inventory and use first aid. 2-5 of them should get you past a Sea Dragons roami… -
Ok, latest quick test from experimental build 53568:
Reaper vs. plated electrodefensive Seamoth: strikes 7% at minimum if you electrocute immediately for release, otherwise it can get up to 85% damage before releasing. That immediately s… -
I have to correct a few things with the Ghost leviathans after checking again with the stable update:
- Ghost leviathans at the Lost River are smaller and strike 25% health for reinforced suit and plated Seamoth
- If you don't shoc…

Looks like I have to check the leviathans again with experimental. Last time I did this was utterly easy for me:
1. Leviathans against the reinforced diving suit:- Reaper couldn't grab. 3 hits to kill. After each hit the leviathan…

Especially this location is not found through signals. In fact I doubt any newcomer would have any other chances than by luck to find this location. It's too deep to find it before having advanced stuff and even then you can easily… -

- It's important to use the stable update with a fresh restart and no old savegame to get the same results.

Even then it would be too much extra work for almost nothing. The time I need to drill a big ore resource is about the time to get double or triple the amount diving through a mini resource field that is dense. Yet you would expect… -
Sorry, I've given up mining long ago. It's tedious and unrewarding, as the process takes far too long for only a small amount of pieces that you have to pick up slowly while searching for them with all the disadvantages you mentioned. As mentioned t…

The new LR entrance is not too far from the closed Aurora one at the bulb zone side. You can easily find it from the wrecked LR Precursor base going back to… -
But most important changes I think was major Cyclops rework and the Ghost Leviathan, as well as another Lost River access, while the Aurora Lava Zone access was shut off. The Void now spawns Ghost Leviathans to keep you inside the map.

There is a real danger that you use up all purple keys and build ion batteries and power cells with the rest of the ion crystals, before getting access to the blue key.
That would be the part where you have to use the c… -

All tech that needs batteries or power cells should be created empty as those parts can be created seperately and ingame support for it is already there, thus minimal reprogramming of the tech tree.

If the Cyclops length would be reduced, it would fit far more through most places, without sacrificing anything other than devs time.
Useless Tech- Dive reel could help to find back to vehicle in pitch black, but still easier to be more careful. Generally too inconvenient and buggy.

- Gravsphere helps with a few things like …

Well the Degasi Cyclops is more a minor issue.
The telepathic contact was consistent with gameplay when it took place near PCF as Degasi probably didn't come that far, but with surface contact this should be explained a…(Quote)
Usually Cyclops is a trademark of Alterra Corp. and thus a Torgal Corp. Cyclops would not exist.
The problem with the Degasi logs are that they want to sound cool with mercenary coming back with captured leviathan and s…(Quote)
WTF-Scenario:
You've lost everything but your inventory, waking up in your lifepod at the surface.
You were mad enough to leave no surface base with standart battery or copper supplies.
