Please remove rocks from the road
I don't know what do you guys think about them, but for me they are realy annoying. At night the smaller ones hard to spot (at least for me) and I think the car should not bounce or spin that much from the little rocks. (And also I just don't understand how huge rocks can be on roads (Can they fly or something?)) What do you guys think?

Agreed, sometimes there's less obstacles in the desert itself than the road.

Night driving is fun, until you hit a tiny rock and get launched into the stratosphere

Exactly. I read the forum and the reviews and this thing (removing rocks from the road) was requested by many people. I want to relax while I am driving in this game, not to dodge the ❤❤❤❤ing rocks when I am driving.

To be fair, You probably shouldnt drive at night. Atleast I don't. I always sleep through the night because of the limited view distance.

I love driving at night. But it can be realy fustrating. Exspecialy when you drive uphill and you can't see what is coming behind the hill. I had to load my saved files so many times because of these obstacles....
I hope they remove them from the road. Rocks near the road and off road are absolutely okey. But irl there are no such obstacles on the roads.

know how you feel, really does take the enjoyment of the empty, open, relaxing road because i need to be on the look out for some pebble sized stones that'll give my car an epilectic fit (i forgot how to spell that word)

Another nice rock behind the bush... And because of this I had to load my progress back, because when I load my autosave I flied out of the world.... I think I will take brake, because I can't enjoy this game because of these rocks. I mean there are more rocks on the road then the entire desert....

I think it would be great if they were removed. but then add a toggle buttion to re-add them if you like the rock. (personaly i dont)

Hitting a rock in the road because you're not paying attention is a gameplay element as a road hazard,

however, hitting a rock because the draw distance spawns it 5 feet in front of your car at 160kph is a bit of an issue.

Rocks are why I turn autosave on while in a car.

I don't have a problem with the big rocks, but the small ones aren't well thought out I think. They blend in with the pavement making them too difficult to see. The worst part of hitting a hamster sized rock though is if you hit one, you're probably going to flip and you're probably going to spend several minutes reassembling your car which can be pretty tedious.That's just too big of a penalty for a game mechanic that isn't that fun to begin with, dodging random small rocks. If they could only slightly damage the car without splitting it open like pinata all over the desert they would be fine.

On the one hand, the game's not very difficult to begin with, so having rocks to avoid is a good thing.

On the other hand, rocks shouldn't be in the middle of a paved road.

And in the gripping hand, IIRC the Devs have stated that they can't reproduce the problem, so it's hard for them to fix.

Instead of silly rocks on the road ( surely, rocks should be a part of the game, off-road ) yet I do like the idea of different road conditions: roads with potholes, bumps, cracks, here and there some vegetation looking through the road, some parts can be looking like the road has been only recently made, also it would be nice if, during rain, rain would collect inside a pothole, greating a puddle, etc

while i wouldnt say to make the road 100% clean of rocks, maybe the small ones that send you beyond space and time should be out, the big ones and the unusual cactus aint that big of a deal

Your all driving to fast. Or not finding the challenge fun. :)

Or simply not realistic having giant stones in the middle of the road. And as you can read, 90% of the playerbase don't like it. I bought this game for having fun not to rage every 10 minutes when I hit a small rock (that I can barely see) and fly out to space.
