Uranium instead of coal.

    Time to mod in Dilithium for crystal biomes. Step one... learn how to mod.

    Just going to point out here that both uranium and coal are used in different types of steam engines, so it really isn't that far-fetched that coal is being used.

    Coal is a far to weak energy-source to be used as space-ship fuel. You can use it the power an locomotive doh. But ye, you kinda are right this still is a futuristic Sci-Fi Game, so there is very much freedom.

    Sincerely it annoys me a little the way the game is leveled in tiers.

    I would so much prefer having to empower my character in order to be able to handle harder biomes, or dangerous resources (learn how to deal with radioactivity).

    So, various types of ore should be relative to the type of planet, not to the level of the player. Which implies that a player should allowed to find a honorable/funny death going where isn't supposed to, since he/she is still lacking the skills to survive over there.

    Same with weapons. Guns for instance should be available since day one, but one should have to learn how to handle without hurting himself first. Or perhaps better solution, guns may do a ridiculous inferior damage if a character didn't acquire the skill for using them at best.

    Same with swords and other melee weapons. The damage should be proportional to the skill/level of the character. That's also true in our reality.

    I believe that that way the game experience would be richer. Well, my 2 cents, of course.

    I find far more uranium and plutonium then I ever have coal.

    I think these are very good ideas.

    That's just the result of ore generation being increased by a shit ton. They'll get toned down.

    If doing so didn't require a specific recipe for every freaking input, I'd be working on something like that right now. I'm already half-tempted to for things like dirt, sand/dry sand/fine sand, etc.

    Sadly.
