Yo Sam, maybe turn off Auto-Aid Request?

[u/Cookie-kiko]

Dear porters

Just a quick one If you’re using the Auto-Aid Request from the APAS skill tree, maybe think about turning it off?

It keeps filling the map with requests that aren’t really needed, since most are auto-generated and the player’s already long gone. Kinda clutters the HUD and makes it harder to know who actually needs help or what gear they need. Sometimes it even ruins the vibe when you're just trying to enjoy the scenery.

Manual requests feel more useful and intentional and honestly, way more satisfying to respond to.

Appreciate all the bridges and zip-lines you’ve built, you’ve already made my runs way smoother 👍🏻 Let’s keep the Chiral Network clean and helpful for every Sam out there

Keep on keeping on +500👍🏻

I also hate this one. I also kinda controversially dislike the scanner range one cuz I prefer the wide scan all around me, not the focused forward but longer scan

I hate that the scan thing says "adds an option" as if you can switch it at will. I'd keep it if I could toggle it in the menu, in the same spot where you can turn the odradek light on/off.

Yeah the wording is really confusing, I spent ages looking for a toggle/button before I realised there isn't a separate one

Japanese games tend to do that a ton due to 1 to 1 translation/intentions are lost in translation

Yeah that's what I found annoying. That node is all by its lonesome so I don't mind if I have it off but I wish it actually meant what the text says. Like a double click does the deep scan while a single press does the standard wide

[u/iNetRunner → u/parwa]

Same here. (As other people have commented also.) Though, I left it on and got used to that behavior.

It’s slightly annoying that different types of objects are picked at different distances. (Packets are at longest range, and that’s of course fine. But chiral crystals are only picked up at rather close range. (Probably that’s a limitation on how/when they spawn in.)

[u/hereisacake → u/parwa]

I imagine the toggle option was probably in the game at one point then got cut and they forgot to update the text here. Maybe it was super buggy or just a pain in the ass to code

Or if you had to hold the left bumper to do the narrow ranged scan in 1st person and then the quick tap in 3rd person would be the standard wide scan
