I am curious about how often the developers look at our suggestion threads and how much of our suggestions that has made it in game. Also wondering if you are going to look at our suggestions after the game is done. And I'm wondering if anbody knows if the developers has given any information about this. Best Regards
I was quite curious about this as well, I never see any feedback, or even just a simple reaction to the suggestions.
Honestly I am not sure about suggestion threads, but there was a mod made for starbound that the devs liked enough to add into the game. The Skyrails. Maybe more than one mod has been added, but just one that I remember off the top of my head. If I remember correctly I think the Novakid were also a community suggestion? I could be wrong on that one. Do they read through all our suggestion threads? I have to doubt it, because the team is so small. If they do I would assume its done my the community manager and only ones they think are really good are brought to the attention of the devs.
I doubt they read through all the suggestions, but I've been browsing quite a few of those yet I never saw a single word of feedback from them. Also the mods that were added, they're way different than suggestions since they're a working in-game feature, and the devs are more likely to notice. .. As a dev I can clearly see why mods are more likely to be noticed, they're actually working after all. But the fact that I've never seen feedback on suggestions alone is a little discomforting.
If there has been no feedback at all I have to assume they don't really look at it. If they do its nothing that makes it into the game. Even a simple "This is a good idea!" by a dev would give hope. I have been absent from the forums for a good year or so, so I don't really know what things are like here now-a-days. No idea if any suggestions are making it into the game. Sounds like theres not much hope for it though.
also the turrets were a mod when i remember correctly. i think most of the forum is more or less "frozen" until the 1.0 is out. Suggestions for Nightly is barely usefull since it changes so often, suggestions for the last stable are moslty outdated. Atleast thats what i think. Still hope they consider some suggestions for gun balancing (like ammo, magazines, specialised armor, crafting etc) There are quite a few interesting ideas out there.
I couldn't help but notice, i've a feeling that the new space mechs shown lately are inspired by xsmechs mod
