Can anyone remind me why...

You lost me at 10 cobblestone in to 1 coal

 

Oh,I see what you mean by grind now...Didn't make sense when I first saw it yesterday TBH.
But still,building something out of steel blocks is something incredibly ambitious in the game's current state.Such tasks require their own adjustments before being called feasible IMO.
BTW I think I heard the 3d printer could reproduce blocks,though I didn't try myself.


Still,what I suggested was not making crafted weapons useless,just simply making chest/boss drops better.At least,not have over 30 DPS difference between them.

And people saying beta,don't get me wrong please.I realise this,and am simply trying to draw attention on a matter I see as an issue,not trying to call the game bad or anything.

That's what I meant. Sometimes I'll encounter planets with vast amounts of coal, other times it's like I run the risk of a net loss of fuel when going to another planet because I didn't find enough coal.

 

that's an activity you chose to embark on. you could build a structure functionally the same without the "grind".

also, to me at least, "grind" implies you are stopped in your progression till the grind is complete. you could consider almost the entirety of the game as a grind to get your impervium house.

not that i am disagreeing that leget building is a "grindfest". i just wanted to use that argument of "no one is forcing you to do that, you chose to do so" that i see bandied about every so often.

 

The core mechanics of ore gathering and block making are *probably* never going to change, so legitimate building is always going to be a tedious grindfest. It's sad when you think about it, really.
The printer requires it's own grindfest. Replace ores with pixels, it's still a grind.

The weapons just need to scale to the level of the planet they're found on, to be honest.

You mean how like no one is forcing you to even play this game?
The flaw with that "no one is forcing you to" logic is that no one forces you to do anything, and that renders all complaints void. You don't like this? No one's forcing you to play the game. It renders all developer talk completely pointless and irrelevant.

 

;D

pretty much. the argument is just so silly i had to use it at least once.

 

No, looting their containers doesn't do anything ATM. It should, but it doesn't. Another thing that may or may not be a glitch is that attacking people on the bottom floor of the ship and killing them doesn't make the people on the top floor hostile.
