Cut Content

While I understand why allot of this content was cut, there are a few things I would love to see re-added to the game; if not by the devs than maybe by a modder.

The first thing is the shrinking and growing of the acid mushrooms based on player proximity. It was a very nifty feature that I can't imagine was really that cpu intensive.

The second thing is not actually listed on the wiki. The mushroom forest used to glow, each mushroom cap used to be a light source and the forest was stunningly beautiful at night, It was my favorite biome. I blame this being cut from the game due to the console release. Stuff like this should have had an option to toggle it; it should not have been removed completely.

Lastly, terraforming. I also blame the console release for this being removed from the game. I would love to have this feature added back to the game. It made base building 2x easier.

Meh on all these points. First two sound like they’d tax my PC too much let alone consoles. Not everyone has a 1080ti. Although an option wouldn’t be bad for people with beast rigs. Terraforming I’ve just never needed and I started after it was removed so I don’t miss it. Thought you could still use by adding from console...

I’d rather have more base pieces, more biomes and map, more caves, more creatures and fish, etc.

"Colsoles are the reason of all evil"

Terraforming was cut because of EXTREME savegamebloating and heavy performance issues that made the game unplayable after some time on everything that wasn´a highend PC with savegames that went into the size of multiple GB that then also contributed to performance issues even more.

THAT was the reason terraforming was removed.

No clue aout the shroom forest, but i agree that an option would have been the better solution.

Unlike adding base pieces, these features are already coded and in the game, they simply need to be activated again.

Although performance waas main isue terraforming was cut, I also undestand players were using it to drill down to the endgame, bypassing most of the story.

I'd kill for ability to craft glass from sand

I think there's also a mod that brings back the terraformer. I wasn't interested so I didn't try it myself.

There is a cheat code to get a terraforming tool but that isn't what I want. There was auto-terraforming built into base building that made it much easier to place stuff.

I went through the community screenshots to find an example of the bioluminescence the mushroom forest used to have.
