Let me share how much I love this game. I have it on Steam (got it as a birthday gift a few months before release). And on this sale, I just couldn’t resist it and I bought it again on GOG so I can have a DRM-free copy.
This seems like a fitting forum title. ;)
So, after trading in the intriguing, but overly dudebro-ish PUBG, I picked this up. I had told myself that I wouldn’t even sniff it until it was a)patched to hell and gone, and b)$20 or less. Well, $23 is close enough.
Early verdict: not bad, not bad at all. It’s not Starflight + Elite + Firefly + BSG + Space Engine 0.92, but it’s still pretty neat on a “hey, at least it has more gameplay than Spore” level.
Since I’m a dumb American, is there any way to change the temp readout to Fahrenheit?
This is supposed to change automatically based on your location.
Yeah. According to the Steam forum it isn’t working for a lot of people. Not a big issue.
I think that’s because you live in Floriday @RichVR. Move to somewhere different if you want Fahrenheit. :P
Screenshots people! We need space pr0n.
Ideal. I use an XB1. With keyboard and mouse there’s still no cockpit freelook believe it or not (right-stick)!
Hmmm. I guess I can tweet them from the PS4 and post the tweets here.
I haven’t actually gotten anywhere worthy of a pic yet. Hopefully I someday will. If I don’t freeze or burn to death. Not sure of which. Celsius, ya know. ;)
Speaking of which, I thought I saw where this would be localized by default. I was a little sad because I prefer Celsius (actually Kelvin with space games, but still). However, when I fired up the game, Celsius was on for me - a poor, foolish American.
Blue bar - freeze, red bar - burn :)
So I was out of plutonium and close to death. I decided to just head in one direction until I died and start over. Suddenly I was surrounded by red spikes, plutonium! I is saved! Fun game.
I found a crashed freighter which was gigantic and really cool so I snapped a photo of it. The ship in the foreground is a new class B ship I found and repaired by following a distress signal. It’s got 29 cargo space.
Tip for the new players - learn the jetpack dash move. It’s cool and lets you jet forward at speed with the jetpack.
Do it by sprinting then hitting the melee button, which dashes you forward. Then quickly jetpack during that dash, and as long as you stay off the ground you can get some good forward momentum.
You can do it without sprinting too, but obviously you’ll go faster if you are.
I have a quest to collect cave marrow from a cave, but the marrow bulbs I found don’t seem to satisfy the quest requirement. Anyone know the deal?
Marrow are the plants. Those glowy plants. Same thing as cave marrow. But according to the Steam forum it might be a bug.
I think it might be. These were the only plants I could find in a vast cave system on the starting planet. Hmm. Not a great reentry so far, as this blocks continued progress almost right out of the gate.
