Dark web is totally messed up, stay away from it !

[Log]

Hi
First I'd like to say to the developer team that I know this is a known issue, I personally reported this bug already.
It's more about telling the community to not get too much involved in this feature 'cause it is totally f***ed up, it is frustrating, it takes all the fun you might have, throws it by the window then sets it on fire while you're spectating this, telling yourself : WTF !

I like this game, I really do, as I like the dark web, I think it is a cool feature...
BUT
It is unplayable.
The dark web gives you quests, with differents objectives, you accept it, you do it right, BOOM ! You get rewarded. That is simple.
But the thing is, you CANNOT trust what the quest is telling you to do !
You have to figure, by yourself, what your objectives trully are.

Here's an exemple :
https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561197983891227/screenshot/2022726727136930938/

This looks like an easy quest but it ain't.

The mixture it wants me to send is referred as "Snowy Anise" in my playthrough, I have a ton. But I cannot select it in the menu, so I cannot send it... It's either the right mixture and I can't send it or the game wants me to send something else and I have to figure what among all the possibilities...

The others objectives are :
1- "Left arm regular" as description but a "Right acid leg" as picture.
The right limb to send is the "Right acid leg"
2- "Left hooves leg"
Correct. It is the right limb to send.

So 33% of the quest is correct.
33% is wrong but you can figure it out.
And 33% is wrong but you can't figure it out.

And this is just an easy quest, I stay away from the ones that require creatures with stats, limbs and elements... Those are nightmares 'cause they combine every possible errors you might encounter in the dark web feature.

I have not yet completed a single dark web quest properly. Not a single one. This is frustrating.
To complete one I have to figure what are the objectives and save the game at each steps.

I am no developer, so I might be wrong, but I think it is quite simple to synch what the game is telling you to do with what the game actually wants you to do.
Like you have an objective that says : Go left. Then you go to the left. If the game wants you to go to the right then just say : Go right.

The developers have disabled the scientist's mission while they're fixing it. Good.
You ( developers ) probably should consider doing the same thing with the dark web.
it's just my PoV but I'd rather play without this feature than having access to it in its current state.

You guys did a great job with this game, it's a cool concept, game is really fun, but please fix this. There are issues and I hope you take those seriously, 'cause I'm loving this game so far.

Thanks for reading and sorry for the way I did this post, but I'm frustrated right now.

Cheers

Hi,

Thank you for your feeback. We are working on the Dark Web issues and we hope the solution will make it to one of next patches.

Cheers!

I just want to add on to this - it's really weird that you don't get any sort of tracker for the items you need for the Dark Web - if there is one, I have no idea how to access it. Like, once you take the mission, you have to run back to the computer if you want to check on what you needed - which is going to happen because their needs are so complicated.

Further - it would help if you just had, like, a drop box to put this crap in so the Dark Web could come pick it up, instead of an individual menu bar for every single item that scrolls through literally every single item in your base. It's a UI nightmare atm.


It's also very weird that there are NO "simple" orders. Everything is complex as all hell. The game gives you the Dark Web immediately, but realistically you shouldn't even be touching it until late game because you'll never be able to fill any orders. Either the Dark Web needs to open up later or it needs better "starter" missions.

Finally - the Dark Web missions say "These items must be delivered on time" then... doesn't tell you the time limit. That's just.... what.

Looking for solutions to understand how the msgboard and orders work, myself. And judging from what I've seen so far this issue hasn't been fixed yet in a year and a half. Makes me wonder if the game is abandoned?
