Make so that we dont lose the scrap that is already on board
It is honestly so boring and I just minutes ago I had gathered so many items onto the ship just to die at the door of the ship due to the dogs :/

this would make the game too easy I feel like, it would feel there is no risk to your runs. But I do think adding a safe storage upgrade to your ship that you can buy that allows you to safely store a few items that wont get lost when you die would be a nice addition

it'd make more sense to me to lose most (like 70%) of your loot but not all.

Well... Play better? You are a valuable asset to the company so why should the company save anything you gathered if youre not there anymore? Thats their inventory^^ YOu are an employee so work for it.. And if you cant get the Quota... well youre not a valuable asset for the company.....

But on a serious note. Yeah. Maybe you can buy a save to get like 50% back and you can only use it once... If you need a quota of 1.4k and use this item it could be great. But no. Dont just make it a standard like you lose 70%.. Thats stupid and not even lore accurate. You are an employee and you dont have any rights. So shut it and get to work^^

You could have a "scaling system" considering the amount of player in the game.
Something like:
1 player: you lose 40% of the scraps on the ship
2 players: you lose 60%
3 players: you lose 80%
4 players: you lose 100%

after a wipe, you take the value of all the scraps in the ship (not counting the keys which are destroyed) and sum it up and remove the appropriate % leaving a kind of "bag of scraps" which value would be equal to the amount of scraps that was in the ship minus the % for the amount of players actually in game

I'd recommend that if all players die, the scap gets immediately sold at the current selling price; as it is normally pretty low, but increases near the deadline. This would offer a near same risk of runs, but not the immediate run killer.

Why? You died. The Company wants the scrap and they don't need to pay you because you're dead so they just bring in 4 more dummies to collect scrap for them and just take what was left behind.

The silly part is that you can lose all of your scrap on the last day right before the deadline and instead of just giving you a new mission with a new quota, you carry on with the same mission only with a quota that's impossible to meet because the deadline is already over.

So you're a new employee whose only task is to land at the company HQ, confirm that you didn't manage to collect any scrap in the 0 hours you were given to collect scrap, then get killed by the company even though you literally didn't even have a chance to do any work?

the only way to "play better" is to play with 4 people, and even with 4 people, 1 of you will have to stay on the ship to "play better" that's boring. and lore wise? why doesn't the deadline reset? is it implying we're the same people, just resurrected?

Hello there. I just got this game about 4 days ago. Call it cheating, or glitching, or intentional game play..but there is a way to save your file if you look like you are going to lose everything.

I noticed that, as a host, if i quit and exit before i die, it reloads me back to the previous save. You lose everything you found on the current planet you where about to die, but you still get to keep the previous items that you had prior to entering that moon.

You can always back up your save if you're worried about losing your stuff.
MegasusPegasus Jan 16, 2024 @ 5:03am 
although having some kind of system to keep a part of the value when playing solo would be a decent addition, because solo makes the game harder
Jackpot Jan 16, 2024 @ 5:16am 
Unless for Solo, nah.
Already seen people have complain lootbugs of all things are strong despite taking a few whacks to shovel and only doing like 30 damage a hit, assuming you're unable to dodge somehow.

Don't need baby mode for multiplayer when if you're THAT worried about losing scrap you can literally just have a dedicated monitor guy.
Also dogs are why I always crouch when I get mid way down stairs on Titan anyway, so literally a case of needing to adapt to circumstances and also closing door quickly incase you need to make a break for it.

Yes, I'll take a free Jester for disagreeing.

thats the point. you hold onto to scrap to sell it on the last day for maximum sell price, but you risk wiping and losing everything. its a risk/reward system. if you dont wanna risk losing everything then sell earlier.

that would be too easy and wouldn't make sense. If everyone dies, the ship leaves, it only makes sense you lose everything. This game is about trial and error, and its challenging. By the way, crouch when you're near the dogs and do NOT speak. they will hear you and kill you. Just a tip.
