How good is the Early Access of Desync?

[Flash✪Gordon]

Hi guys

Normally I keep my fingers off EA, but I made a good experience with Satisfactory. These guys care a lot and the EA is already better than many releases.

Thus I wanted to ask the community how Desync is doing?

Good enough for me to have spent over 100 hours in it already.

There are a few rough edges (minor bugs) in behavior scripts and in some graphics modes. Although you can workaround them all.

Keep trying all code blocks, in different ways, non-stop, and sooner or later you will stumble in a code block which doesn't do anything, or do something which defies conventional programming.

100 hours is not thaaat high. In Satisfactory are players with 4000 hours and more.

But for you the present the few bugs are no reason to wait with buying - you recommend it and you trust the studio that they are working hard to improve?

I have the impression compared to Satisfactory the community here is quite small (but hopefully growing)

It's got the basic outline of a complete game, but it's clearly still being filled in. If you like the idea of its scripting system then you're still probably in for a good time even with the rough edges, if hitting clear content walls of WIP stuff bothers you then probably not so much.

Also comparison of hours between Satisfactory and Desynced isn't a good measure, as Satisfactory has been out much longer.

[Flash✪Gordon]

what is WIP?

how long is Desynced out

I am curious about scripting system, but it is not running away, I have time

[Jetter]

WIP = Work In Progress

Desynced came out in August, just a few months ago.

Gotcha!

That is indeed a whole different story.
SF is in it's fourth year of Early Access and just now we got the next major Update 8 and Black Friday special.

The game is worth the cost, even if you just play until you become bored with it. It's not finished, there are items in the tech tree you can't even research, and they are needed to research other things.

I have quite a few hours into the game and have tried many different builds/approaches to it. The game itself becomes quite tedious and repetitious after a while. BUT I say again, you will get your money's worth.

My largest complaints are you can't upgrade buildings without breaking your scripts that use GET and DROP, you can't move buildings, you have to destroy them and them rebuild them, there's logistics "issues", and while it is a logistics game, logistical tracking and reporting tools are woefully missing.

There is no need to destroy your buildings to transfer them use, https://wiki.desyncedgame.com/Deployer

and Holding down CTRL while pasting a building blueprint will try to upgrade any underlying buildings (From update 29 September News)

I bought just now

Please add more stuff here which I need to know.

Thank you.

Probably the biggest thing i wold say that is misleading, is there's a regular claim that you don't have to use the behaviors, While i agree with the sentiment abstractly, i find that in practice its not a great claim. Theyu are technically correct, you dont have to. But at some point you're just making it hard on yourself.

You don't have to use trains in factorio either, but man that seems like you're torturing yourself.

[Flash✪Gordon]

I have no idea of what you are talking. Bear in mind that I didn't play the game yet.

I understand. Behaviors are a bit complicated, and a lot of people like to say they arent necessary and entirely optional.

At least at this point, I dont consider that to be great advice if you want full enjoyment of the game. Something id want to know ifi was debating the purchase. It wont mean much until you get into it thugh.

I hope you really like it, its a great team, and a cool game.
