    so i feel that this game is way to simple than it should be..sure it is just beta but i feel the flow of the game doesnt really tell you to explore as many planets as you can...all you need is 1 lvl1 planet and dig it for resources and you can get whatever you want....

    there is just no reward for visiting other planets i feel, they all have the same resources but with harder enemies that doesnt seem very attractive because monster fights are very generic...they just ram you or try to jump on your head. same thing with every monster.

    also there are no specially good bosses to be found excep those who you can craft yourself.

    sure you can craft lvl 15 and start smashing lower level creatures....but its not rewarding enough to go to new planets to find new bosses that dont exist...yes i know it is still beta. but this is my impression so far. i hope it changes

    Well, for now, keep in mind that weapons you find on a given planet are around the threat level of the planet you're on. Before the first boss, you can only craft level 5 (armor piercing 5) weapons at the crafting stations, you'll need to explore planets of threat 6 or higher in order to get weapons that will do more than scratches to the UFO boss.

    Recipes! Plant seeds! Weird terrain features (see if you can find a mini village)! Build things! Collect decorations to scan into your printer!

    The game's more than just a loot grind, you just have to want to do something else.

    The beta excuse goes a long way though, especially since they're constantly working on adding more and more.

    You can't get Platinum, Titanium, Cerelium, Rubium, Uranium, Diamonds, Ect ect ect on a level 1 planet.. So trying to kill/ make more advanced bosses will impossible if you don't explore.

    The quest system is not fully implamented so it doesn't tell you where to explore or when to explore yet, it is just there right now to simply say, "Build this item to get boss, then advance to next sector"..

    There is a reward on every planet you go to, Ever planet has some sort of structure on the surface that will give you a chance to get some loot... Might be a random crafting pattern, might be a weapon, or in my case it might be the legendary weapon "The bony Crushwacker"....

    Bosses only seem generic at the moment because they 1 hit you if you even so much as touch them, which i think should be removed... But if you actually fight the bosses you will see that they have different tactics to fighting them..
    Yes the mobs are more or less the same on every planet, but that is because it is beta i think, all the different variety of creature attacks ect have not been opened yet.

    You can not say that the tactics and boss fight from the penguin is the same as the dragon?

    There is a random chance to get a mob boss on every planet. Mob boss being a very large standard mob that has improved health and damage attacks. They mob bosses give better loot and not just pixels.

    Level 15 armor is really really poor once you get into the gamma sector you will get one shot from everything if you wear that..

    The main reward so far if tech. I've now found 2 techs, "Gravity Bubble" (Flying) and "Targeted Blink" (Blink).. Both are really really over powered once you get them and it chances the way you fight everything on any planet...

    But this is beta, this is just a shell of the game so far..

    Can you not see the potential this game has from what you have played so far?

    Why would you go to other planets - how about just for the sheer joy of finding what's out there? Exploration for the sake of exploration.

    Also, beta is beta and this is pretty early on. A lot of features are not fully implemented.

    I love discovering villages but it feels so empty and lifeless, wish each NPC had something of value to say or had their own problems that they could use help with...I always imagined entering a planet of Penguins in War with some kind of other species..i know stuff is randomly generated but stuff like that is all interesting parts about exploring new planets

    Sure it is beta, but these things have to be said so the devs don't think "Oh it's fine as it is, they aren't complaining." But to the whole exploring thing...My biggest thing is the sheer lack of a need to explore. "Oh I'll just look up the coordinates to this system and go to the exact planet and get this item which is in the exact same location."

    Wait what, there's a purpose for coordinates? I've just been flying around like a headless chicken, hehe.
