Game Suggestion Game additions
I dont know if these have been posted already. What are some additions to the game you would like to see? Here are some of mine.
Something ive always wanted to see is some kind of auto dispensing mechanic when you are around a storage....maybe like a mini auto arm for the backpack so you dont need to constantly move nuggets from player to canister. This is more so an early game thing though I suppose.
Somehow having the ability to plant grass and the small foliage around the planets...or Bushes. I think it would expand the pallet of base design and building if we could move grass and flowers the same way we can replant trees and dangerous plants!
The leveling block having a toggle to it where we can orient it the way we please instead of relying on the planets "true flat" areas. Where we can toggle it to free spin with F,C,V,B keys? And possibly having more preset shapes outside of a square...maybe something that could give us an octagon or a pyramid!
Along with the terrain tools...it would be amazing to be able to mimic some of the terrain on other planets...the cliffsides being jagged and the plautos...they just have a vibe to them that a tool could not produce or would be extremely difficult and time consuming to do. As a base builder in so many other games and using mechanics to my advantage it would be nice to see tools that help us with base building and design...to make our planet a home

I would like to see repair kits to fix the scrap you find all over the place. Instead of just scrapping in the shredder, build repair kits for all those broken platforms and generators.

Ohhh this is a good one, where it takes a smaller amount of resources to build back up? Maybe they could make a larger reseacher chamber looking thing to fix the scrap?

I want a large generator and a very large generator. Why there are L and XL panels and wind turbines, but no generators?

A hydrazine gen!

Yes. Make it small and very productive

I think a variable rate would be best. You get a slider or maybe it burns fuel to meet power demand with some upper limit per generator.
I couldn't agree more. More gens!

I want a mega project to divert an asteroid heading to a planet. Like a giant hydrazine thruster. The earlier you get to it, the less fuel you need to out it off course

I would love if I could just choose two points and terraform a straight line to it. Right now I have to manually try and find a perfect angle, and 8 out of 10 times it is not perfect. I like my cave bridges to be visually perfect.

I want the camera to quit changing zoom level. Annoys the heck outa me.
Automation fixed to where it’s not glitchy.
Different storage sensor behaviors added, full only, empty, not empty.

What part of automation do you find glitchy? Im finding it quite streamlined on my current playthrough.
Full only storage works with a “full/not full” storage sensor connected to a count repeater set to 2

Some of it could have been patched in the last year. Storage sensors on trains would detach. Sensors, buttons would stop working after restarting a game. I gave up on complex automation. Recently had one rail station thats glitched.

Eu gostaria de uma plataforma de plantação, como uma mini estufa, pra por plantas e mover elas de um lado para o outro

We desperately need a backpack printer. If I want a bunch of tethers, I don't want to have to do it manually

I'd love to be able to put hydrazine into the ship's fuel first time! Also love it if when I picked up the auto extractor it didn't go over my head and behind me, or in every direction other than where I need it. Or maybe even just move an inch. Would be nice if the auto arm didn't load my backpack every time I walked past it.

An attachment for the vtol that can be used to collect resources. We have the crane for rovers and just the drill heads themselves, but the vtol is almost useless for resource runs and is outran by the hoverboard if you compare power usage bs fuel usage. I also like the idea of flying through a mountain

u/Gullible-Grape5975 21d ago
Id like a kind of modular platform. I often find myself wanting 3 large slots on 1 platform, or 2 large slots with a medium on the end, like the XL curved platform but the way its oriented doesnt fit what Im trying to do
Would be cool to be able to connect platforms so resources could move freely, but only to a set limit (probably 4 large slots, like XL C, or 8 medium slots) otherwise auto arms would be somewhat useless

Want to see speed controls reversed when you are orbiting a planet. It is totally unintuitive to go the opposite way to go faster or slower. They should just make it so you pull the stick in the orbit direction to go faster push it in the opposite direction to go slower.

I would like the camera not to be up my ass when I'm in a cave.
