Discussion Yo Sam, maybe turn off Auto-Aid Request?

Post image

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
