change game settings mid-game?

[FallRivers]

is there a way to do it? i find the default mode to be a bit too crazy with fuel and power consumption at least for my liking, but i've already put in 6-ish hours and don't wanna have to restart just to mess with the settings to hopefully get it right, and if not then restart again... and again... and again until i do.

I am just that one person who actually does that, no matter how much to have back n forth i have to get to make it right, for my doing. I suggest you to try that at the least so you would get used to that actual fact u need to do, to get things right, your way.
Don't get dicouraged from it it is what it is for that matters, any game have to be configured by 'you' and only 'you' to get to that point of 'good feel' for the game.

You do it for the graphical settting, the sound etc. and that way you learn where the weaknesses are from the game and whats it's limitations, for you to understand, where u are, in the game. This goes for everygame olmost. 👍

As far as I know there's no way, so it's either give up the game, or restart. I restarted after playing the first couple of hours because I thought the Recommended default was way too fiddly (it didn't help that when I started it was the week the game dropped and before the patch that made batteries last more than five minutes).

No, you can only customize from the beginning if you want to change something, not afterwards... If you play Hardcore, which i started with, you have to change the air filter every other mission, which is a bit too much for me...

damn that's a shame. honestly i think i'll probs just drop the game until they update the game to allow for settings to be changed mid game, i don't exactly wanna bang my head off my desk until i get it right, it'd take hours and multiple restarts.

Hi everyone!

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. Switching "difficulty" mid-save is a tricky process due to how the game initializes the galaxy when starting a new game. However, we'll try to find time to investigate whether or not there's a solution that would allow players to tweak balance options mid-game.

Thank you!

Thanks for the clarification. But then it would be very helpful if we at least knew which settings apply in which mode, so that when we start a custom start we know which settings we need to adjust. Or ‘Presets’ in the custom start, so that the settings are preselected according to the mode. Both would help us to find the right personal balance.

This is a great idea. At least let the player know what options from the "custom" screen apply to "Recommended" and harder difficulties ahead of time.

Would be a very helpful feature. Even if you can only do it from the load save screen.

i mean hey if not maybe you guys could add more detail when selecting options? i left a review that kinda mentioned the idea. in short maybe there could be a picture that shows stuff like how much space debris there would be, or maybe the same thing but showing what the energy drain would be like on lower or higher settings. i think you catch my drift, it'd help players be more informed on what they are actually changing :3

I heard if you complain enough they'll change it.

To be honest, i personally dont even want the ability to change the difficulty settings.
What i would love is to have the ability to see the settings in a custom game i already started, meaning i could tell people what settings i play on because i dont remember 3/4ths of it xD
