What does crystalize do? Does it work? Is it implemented?

[JDub]

I see a "Quick time events" section in ship cargo. But I can't get the crystalize button to do anything and even if I could, what does it mean? I'm at the end of the story if that matters.

This looks like yet another "yeah we're going to implement that soon" button and I'm really irritated by the dev's tendency to put in buttons that don't do anything. Just, you know, don't put it in until it works? Because here I am trying to figure out if that button is even supposed to work.

The Bank tab in station services is a huge offender of the "yeah we're going to implement that soon". There's like 5 buttons on the left side -- none of them do anything.

Nothing, not in the game yet. Compress does work but you are advised not doing it because it reduces its cargo money value by 50% (unless this has been fixed which I doubt).

I'm so tired of things on the UI being "not in the game yet" -- don't add the button until the feature is implemented, jfc.

best thing for you might be to just step ayway from an(y) early access game and let it sit for 6 months or a year. come back when its finished. or don't. its not too hard, jfc^^

TBH greying out those options might've been better, but well..

I look at it this way - if it exists in game, then it would be fair to presume we will have that feature in game at release.
Hiding all those features would result in DLC if they end up being harder than first thought.

I play early access games all the time. I can't think of any other one that does something like this.

No, it's called a feature flag. Software devs use it all the time: if the feature flag is off the UI element is not shown. If the UI element is not shown, no one will care unless they go into the code (not easy) and look around. The feature flag stays off until the feature is ready for alpha testing.

It's still possible to do that.

A message for japp_02, JDub and any other complaining game players.

1. If the game developer put the finished product out on the market and promised game features or functions that was not part of the finished product, then you would have grounds for a legitimate complaint. If not then you are just wining like a little spoiled child, GROW UP.

2. If you think that you have all of the answers and can do a better job, then stop complaining and do it. But be forewarned, you will have to deal with and put up with complainers, just like you.

3. If you want to give some suggestions or ideas for the developer to consider that is fine, but if your suggestions or ideas are not implemented, then too bad get over it.

@SewerRat,
I was not complaining, please read again my first response. I don't make speculations why placeholders are in the game, I just aknowledge the fact. I was saying that Crystalize doesn't work, and that's all, and IDK if this has changed in the current 2.2.1, this post is rather old so players need to verify again.

We found the white knight! Everyone behold the person for whom thinks he shall be rewarded by the developer for smiting down the opinions of others.

Sounds like you are the one who needs to grow the ♥♥♥♥ up and move on. Welcome to forums. I am sure the developer is more than capable to handle things himself. If you can’t handle that perhaps you should take your own advice and move on and get over it

Crystallise is likely going to be added once the likely mining rework occurs.

[JDub]

This game is so F***ING annoying with this "oh, we added the UI but the actual feature isn't there yet".

[japp_02]

The dev has changed the roadmap interface (to Trello) where he is tracking the progress of the game features added, the bugs and planed implementations and player requests. The old interface was much better to see all this in the blink of an eye, but somehow the dev didn't like it apparently. So now we don't know for sure what's in the game and what not until he releases the patch notes.

Thank you MadmanOfArkham for your comment, I even added it to my Steam profile
