Enjoying the game so far but yeah that's pretty disappointing. I hope there's an answer to why it was axed.

No. That's part of the Atlas path.
I appreciate Minecraft but don't really enjoy it.
This game is much more for me. It's difficult to compare the two though.

I've done about
4 of them and they're still going, similar distances between them all. I have the ability to make warp fuel easily though so it's been a breeze for me to get to them all.
Is it worth it? Unsure
you do learn words, technologies, and sometimes get atlas orbs that sell for a bit, but the plot at this point seems to be pushing the idea that maybe I'm wasting my time so who knows if it's worth it.

It was really strange. It was flat on the bottom and hopped around. Had no limbs of any sort.

Wow... Just... I bet those same people earn more than I do as well. Lol!
I assume the game does it the right way, but don't know for sure.

Trying one more time. I refuse to leave my first planet until I find this thing.
happened to me last night. spend 2 hours trying to find the last one, eventually I gave up.
so incredibly frustrating
Read that some player first spawned on a planet that was already discovered. Hope that doesn't happen to me
I don't get it, what's so bad about this?
Yeah, they didn't seem happy about it in the patch notes, lol. People were wondering why waypoints were moving away and stuff.
Just imagine you're in geosynchronous orbit
yes. When I reach the system with the annomaly (which I assume is the first Atlas station). 5 crashes out of 5 tries, ill try again later in the week then bring it back to EB games.
Nocturnal creature maybe?Trying one more time. I refuse to leave my first planet until I find this thing.

Nope, game has no rotation for planets. The day/night cycle is, bizarrely, in effect the sun rotation around all the planets, which remain fixed.

Adorbs, lol.
Funny thing, I found a creature that was very stocky, 4 legged, that had a tiny head on my starting planet... with the same face in your Avatar, lol. I will upload it when I get home, hahaha.

Played for a few hours last night and found it worryingly addictive. Haven't even left my starting system yet, so much to do.

I mentioned above, but make sure to scan your systems. The game will naturally lead you to an Atlas station and that will lead you somewhere else, and that will get you the blueprint for a V1. It took me about 4 or 5 systems before I got one.
I can't stress the importance of scanning when you arrive in a new system.

One of the better, more mechanically sound moments was watching a bunch of ships circle over an area in the distance. I took the trek and found a station because of that.
See, that works great. It's a cool thing that the game does to let the player know that there's a station nearby. It's easily spottable from the distance, too, so you know where to head.

do planets have different lengths of day/night cycles?
It might be they axed it because the planet rotation was messing up stuff on the planet. I'm curious once the PC version is out and people start digging in the files if it can be enabled. I'm sure it was in the game at some point (but removed later which is what I assume)
They come with time. I just got it, and I've probably played 15 hours

Ohh, well, thanks for the clarification. Probably easier to do it that was in a game than all the calculations to do it the other way.
I'm wondering this as well...
Find beacons on the planet, those usually will point you to advance life on the planet. I ran into this twice so far searching around for a form of life and when I located a beacon, it set a marker on the radar.

I fly to a general spot and never go past maybe three minutes of my ship to do anything. That way, I can get back quickly without getting burnt.
I dont understand this. It's the suns that go arround the planets? In every system?
It really really is.
Huh, my planet is freezing at night so I haven't been looking as hard around then. I'll give that a try!

I think I'm fucked. I dove down onto a planet after getting chased by space pirates and ended up distracted by some cool stuff down there, including finding a crashed ship that was much better than my own. I transfer all my things over to it thinking I have everything to repair it with and then it comes down to zinc. No zinc. This planet is a barren mess. I cannot find zinc anywhere. I lost my other ship in this process (it actually looks to have despawned since I last loaded into the game). What am I going to do...? I cannot find zinc anywhere. There are no plants with zinc, no animals on this planet to help me find zinc, and I have yet to see any outposts or trading posts to find a terminal. What the hell should I do? My two most recent saves are both me stuck with this broken ship.
Yeah I was wondering about that as well. Will investigate more
Blackthorn
"hello?" "this is vagina"
Not sure. If they do, they simply speed up the rotation of the skybox, which is the same for all planets.
Yeah perhaps it's too expensive to calculate.
Yup. If the planets rotated, you'd see the other planets in the system rise and fall over the horizon as well. I never expected planets to orbit stars, as this would make them impossibly far away from each other, but no rotation irritates me (but I can get over it).
I'm usually no longer than 2-3 "minutes" away from my ship. Crashing is a pretty real threat, so I make a point to save often, now. Btw, melee boosting makes running around incredibly much faster.
Run, melee, immediately jump and glide. Insane speed.

Reload save? Does that work or does the game save on landing?
I get to a beacon where i need 4 bypass chips to get all the info out. I only have one slot free so i have to enter the inventory, build a chip, exit inventory, acces beacon, use chip. Repeat x4. How hard would it be to stack at least 4 of them up? Never mind the fact that there could be an option to use 4 bypass chips at once and get all markers in one go. But hey better to annoy the player and waste his time instead.
Makes you wonder how much they tested their own game.

It keeps two most recent saves as far as I'm aware of, and both of those are from me finding waypoints while looking everywhere for this damn zinc.

Your Exosuit can be upgraded which gives you more inventory slots, You can get new ships which gives you more inventory slots. Same with your multi-tool.
Sure it's difficult when you first start out, but after awhile you'll have enough inventory space to accommodate a good amount of items as well as technology add-ons.

It depends for me. If my life support and exosuit dont drain too fast, I'll go on foot. I found this planet yesterday where the toxicity was nuts. You couldnt last more than a minute or 2 outside. I couldnt think of a proper name for the planet so I just named it Toxic AF. Planets like that I wont stray far from my ship. Otherwise I will trek on foot if its a nice planet.

I reckon this will get sorted out very quickly, a lot of people have really valid gripes about the inventory system and it won't hurt the game for them to be changed. Maybe this is what the base building and freighter ships will be about, storage etc.

I need zinc to repair the pulse engine. What is kinda shitty is that I have my launch thruster repaired but it won't let you lift off without repairing your pulse engine too. Doesn't really make sense. I did find one beacon but it sent me to an outpost with only a blueprint. No terminal.
OmegaDL50

Zinc is required to fix the Pulse Engine.
This isn't a hoarders game, and I really like it. The game would be void of challenge if you could stack everything. Bypass chips, sure I get that. However, limited inventory is a core part of this experience. If I could hoard elements, I could farm for an hour then never have to worry about warp cores ever again.

Enjoying the came but really not a fan of the ridiculously low FOV and the looking around controls. The acceleration curve on the looking is terrible. And if it detects any vertical movement, it slows the horizontal spin. It's so crappy. It's really easy to get lost because the damn screen is zoomed in so much.
If I wander off into the horizon on foot and can't find a base anywhere, how do I get my ship back? Or is it pretty much a "don't do that" sort of thing?

But maybe one of those will have the ship that worked where it was before it de-spawned. I was under the impression your ships stay wherever they were parked even if you had to fly back to it on a space station or whatever.
Everyone listen to this ^^ I parked my brand new ship on top of a really tall cylindrical plateau, with no way up. Then by chance I went right next to the side of it and jetpack straight up the side when I had no business climbing up it. That's the kind of QoL thing that makes this game awesome.
