combat? threats of any kind?

it seems there is little to no consequence in the entire game. the mantis in the final underdust mission makes you think you will encounter more, but no live mantis appear, and the only things that try to kill you are crickets, which do near to nothing and dont warrant the carry of the crossbow.

the crossbow has become a glorified box breaker for ladders and boxes chained up, its more of a tool than a weapon. walking into new environments im not even concerned about safety, my only deaths have been to falling, which i imagine is the biggest killer in this game.

adding things that want to kill you, even if it is massive amounts of those little crickets, would be great. something to make you less complacent and comfortable with your safety.

not to mention after a few lab runs, i have collected enough bolts to start a one man war against the mantis.

It's called early access and patience. Obviously they plan on adding enemies.. baby steps.. it hasn't been out for even 2 weeks yet.. take a break and come back in a couple months sounds like your journey for now is over.

We stated at the end of the main objectives, that combat and enemies will be added to the game with updates.

Combat has never been planned to be the games main focus. The Crossbow and Knife are tools first, weapons second. We're scientists here, not mercs.

Having said that, we know the game requires more threats. I recommend checking out our Flight Map, so you can see whats coming.
