I was absolutely hooked into this game (ver7) and I was stoked to see what the game was offering me as the ending.
Things started to die down in terms of events and stuff after like day 35 or something, and I was getting bored. Same old signals and no real events happening. And suddenly, in day 44 I couldnt save or pause the game. I waited the entire day and nothing.

Day 45, nothing.
Its day 46 now.

Because, apparently theres an ending in Day 44? It seemed right.
I think my save is completely bugged due. There is a red blip right outside my base that is even closer than the golden/red beacon that arrived explosively. Almost looks like the closer red blip should be right outside the door, but there was nothing yet it stayed there for the entirety of my game ever since it arrived...

Im... awfully disappointed. I was loving this game so much, is the ending broken?

on day 44, there is an event in the hole, that's all i can say

Day 48, I got the "Pre-alpha Completed" achievement.
There was no reason to drag me any further than the last big obvious event at around day 35-38 and then give me the achievement. I either got the same spooky signals or a single event per day that lasted for a second. The pacing of the story mode related events were great, but things really did start to die down and honestly, could have been given the achievement a while ago.

It was REALLY building up as well, so I was anticipating some kind of cliffhanger ending, sticking around for 10+ more days, and it just... trickles down and then gives me the "completed" achievement.

I know there is a lot more stuff to find, but by golly do I not feel like it. Will play again in a future update, will come to support the dev.
