creative mode?

so i've just found out this game has a creative mode, do you still need to have food and water to survive, or is it just that "creative, thanks

You can do anything in creative. Money is no object and I don't believe you can die. I don't think you even need materials to build something or at least at one time you could do anything you wanted.

PS. Creative is a good safe way to learn how to play then cut over to normal once you get the hang of it.

right ok, but is it worth the money spent? it's currently 36$ US i think, our aus dollar is crap at the moment so it would cost me around 50$?

Buy it, play for a bit (not over 2 hours). If you don't like it, you can refund it. That way, you get to play and see what the game is about instead of relying on someone else's opinion. I've enjoyed tons of games that others told me to ignore. So, that's what I do: Buy the game, try it out, and refund if I don't like it.

value of the game is subjective.. each player will have their own opinions and form your own opinion based on a collective of other opinions actually robs you of the experience.. so what's more important? $50AUD or an experience that may or may not be enjoyable for you? Only you can decide that for yourself..

Creative mode is fun and definitely helps a player learn the basics of the game and can prepare them for Normal mode.. it can also be used to figure out things before you do it in Normal mode and learn the hard way (like "What happens to my base when I move it to a new planet?" or "What happens to my old freighter base when I buy a new freighter?")..

Creative mode requires no materials for anything, including installing tech in exosuit/ship/multitool/exocraft.. You can buy/trade ships/freighters for free.. there's no need to farm any resources at all whatsoever, and using your quick menu to recharge everything is super easy and fast..

In addition, creative mode doesn't take any damage.. So you can practice your space battles, you can pick off sentinels without increasing your wanted level, you can run around the harshest of environments with an empty life support and no hazard protection left and the worst that happens is the game nags at you to recharge your empty systems..

btw, if you do decide to purchase the game, make sure you have the hardware to run it.. I bought this on pre-order for $60 and then found out while I could use an emulator to make my CPU try loading it, my GPU could not run it.. I eventually had to dump a decent amount of money across a few pay periods before I was able to build a system to run the game by early Jan 2017.. four months after it released..

so if you're not sure about that $50AUD, and your PC needs upgraded to run the game, I'd advise against the purchase.. here's a neat lil site to plug in your system details and it'll show you how/where you stack up to the system requirements..
