Some more notes while going
- On reloading, there's no events, woke up in cryopod (think they were there) but 20 seconds later looking again, there's no events, no air, no hunger - hunger did kick off so the events are still going but it's not displayed
- Bear in mind that reducing actions also means reducing the xp a player has at any particular stage, early on when you have infinite resources is a much better time to level than arriving at Laurion on a clock (Speaking of which, no extra metal plates when the repair is streamlined, you can otherwise leave with 5 spare, like the coupler)
- Could right click be a distinct action in the queue rather than replacing existing actions? Like say 4 stacks of collect water pouch and then another independant stack of 'prepare' water pouch (not sure your terminology for it)
I'm curious about balancing without the cheated water - I'm dismissing it right now because it's just not an issue, but it's a free extra 3 minutes 20 seconds up to Laurion
- This run I'm on now, I make it to Laurion with 3 minutes 14 seconds of water, tried not to create any more water on the move (although I did *before* leaving), and I'm not inside yet - I could maybe cut down on some oxygen or some other small parts just to make it there but, that's pretty tight - I think it will cause *many* more deaths
- Actually, that was in the rover, I'd need another 30 seconds or so and couldn't do the quick way i'm doing now.. hmm, very tight, might need some thought
- When installing the water generator (0.2.5), the collect water option actually disappears, parked inside Laurion currently but air is still available so I assume bugged
- No power drain on the airlock, allows you to jump back and forth at almost no cost, farming tech instead of burning time waiting
- Still no water option when not in Laurion, i'll be dying soon (what I get for playing fair) but assume it won't be an issue when the water is as intended
- Clicking on the new action button would be nice (to dismiss), made the UI small enough that it doesn't matter and I can sweep over all, but it would be preferable to me to practically click snooze
- Air tank may be speeding up, each time going in and out of Laurion? - Instead of 30 seconds it looks about half refilled after the 3 to prep a new extraction (so 6 second cooldown instead of 30, 5x the intended speed)
- Every so often when doing an action that consumes a resource, such as the metal plates, it consumes an item - Currently looking for the rover, typing while time goes, would it not be an idea/would it not be possible to give some chat messages while exploring, remarking on the area etc? Either that or maybe some way to fast forward, it's interesting to explore sure but as you said regarding testing, that time adds up, and you're sitting there for 2:30 doing nothing
- Install empty power cell action doesn't go away after installing all you have access to
- Being able to see the Rover's power without driving it (such as inside Laurion but when the power is off) would be nice - especially as you presumably get access to more fuel later or another chapter
All for now, sure i'll keep rambling later
There is little need to read all these if you don't want to but hope it's helpful
