The sense that this is a cross between No Man's Sky and Minecraft is definitely the feeling I got. The demo is actually a pretty good tutorial with a few areas that could use improvement. The overall look of the game is very good and makes use of a bright but simple color palette and the controls are intuitive enough that most players shouldn't have much trouble figuring out how to move around.

The scroll ability across your hotbar should have an option to reverse direction making it a little easier to navigate to the equipment you need faster. QB could offer help during the tutorial/demo by advising players the use and importance of extracted materials the first time they are gathered. As for the resources they seem really scattered and QB can assist but there again is something that's not made clear in the beginning. Once QB has a scanner a short demo on how useful QB can be at scanning for resources should be demonstrated so players know they need to look around for the correct locations.

Energy is one of the first necessities a player needs to be prepared for. Coal being the critical resource. This is the small issue I had with the extraction process. While the T1 extractor itself could be a bit faster (currently quite boring <--- no pun intended), the amount of resources is low. At extractor level T2, it made no remarkable difference in speed or allocation of resources. There should be a clear improvement of both.

Mini map could include some quality of life improvements like a hostile target red-dot. I would see the notification of hostile fauna and look around not knowing where the aggression is coming from. I think that the ability to name-tag locations on the world map would be a huge help as well.

Ship repair and ascending into space is the end of the demo/tutorial but aside from two small outposts being visited as part of the questing there's more that could have been included. Capturing a pirate base, exploring a mining operation, cataloging the flora and fauna and assessing their resources, checking on stranded settlers, and the important interaction with the merchant hub to acquire circuit boards. And perhaps most importantly setting up some sort of base protection to deal with intruders and meteor showers.

Overall, I think this game show great potential and I look forward to playing the finished version when released.... that hopefully includes a bed so I can sleep through the night.

You can already make a bed you can sleep through the night in btw.

Might be an idea to make certain the Pirate Activity has already occurred and been dealt with. I find that if I stick inside my Base THROUGHOUT the night, I'm guaranteed at least one visit from the Pirates...

You're kidding me. All that time? Where is the bed craft? I'll have to check again.

If you make the Building Bench, it's in there at the end tab along with other bits of furniture, a tv set and computer, fences, windows. A whole bunch of decorative things.
