So after 5 mins of play...A bug ridden mess!
So I had concerns that going from Alpha to full release with ZERO testing of any new stuff and here is my account of the first 5 mins of play.

Loaded up. Clicked start NEW game. Oh nice, a character creator. Oh but you cant actually see the character you're creating. Hmm that's not a good start is it. Ok ill guess and pick a suit with TEAL colours and silver visor. I have no idea what it'll look like but here goes!

Landed on the planet. Ok that looks a bit barren and is the curvature increased? As everything seems to quickly dip away over the horizon. Maybe the planet is smaller. Well I guess I need compound. Hmmm there doesnt seem to be any close. Oh there's some way over there. Wait why is my terrain tool jumping and flickering all the time when I mine? Is that what its meant to do or is it a bug? Hang on I just got the alert sound to say ive picked up some compound but theres nothing on my backpack. Oh got some organic and now running out of air. Seeing as i need compound to create tethers its a run back for me.

So after 3 trips of stuttering framerate I manage to get enough compound to make 1 bundle of tethers which I make. Ok now I can tether out to the compound so I can flicker mine in peace. And I gleefully drop my first tether. Oh wait it must be too far from the base as its not connecting. Oh but I get the connect line? Maybe if i put it RIGHT NEXT TO THE BASE!!!!! Nope still wont connect. Ok thats progress ended right there. [FIXED] - It appears I need an oxxygenator. Maybe the tutorial ought to cover this as it doesnt mention it!

Let me quit out and load it up again. Yeeeaaaaah that didnt fix the issue. What if I try and start a NEW new game? Nope still the same issue. Well thats nothing short of game breaking is it.

And NO you cant have my stuff cos due to game breaking bugs I have no stuff!!!

Only problem I am having now is I can't find malachite, but there are plenty of compound and resin and everything else that should be there on the first planet. Plenty of research too. But none of the flickering thing--seems to play just fine. In fact, it's a lot better than it was in early access. The controls seem more refined and the terrain is a lot more diverse. And no stuttering framerate either....

As far as the tethers, you now have to have an oxygenator in your main shelter before you can connect tethers, which is one of the items in the supply drop you get when you first pop open your shelter, along with a medium printer and medium platform. You just put it in the side of the shelter in a little alcove, and then tethers work just like they used to. Same goes for rovers and shuttles: if you want to tether off a rover, you have to put an oxygenator on it.
Well as for char creation..Wasnt like that before so yes ppl gonna get confused 2nd of all and most off WHY THE ♥♥♥♥ REMOVE IT IN FIRST DAMN PLACE... WASNT ANY REASON TO

Well lets get a few things straight here.

At the forth time of asking, but hey, why stop when you're on a roll, eh?

The character not being viewable could 100% be a bug. This is as far as im aware the first time the CC has been in the game. Wasnt in alpha at all where u could see all the astroneers you could pick on the space station. So if it ISN'T a bug then it's certainly idiotic to NOT have your character you're creating visable. In fact it's beyond stupid. But of course it could be a bug and your character is meant to be visible to the right of the creator.

"It might be a bug as it's a new feature, but let's assume it's deliberate and throw in a bunch of insults for literally no reason. But it's a bug so just ignore me there tee hee!"

...Yeah you're clearing things up there good and proper...

If you want me to stop calling you a troll, stop trying so hard to create openings for insults. I can see how desperate you want to be taken seriously, but crap like this is why I'm here, and not just passing this off as another angry kid not getting the right toy for their birthday. If you cannot think of a good reason for it, then chances are it's not deliberate. And, yet again, you can alter the colours planetside afterwards, so you have a workaround. Carrying on this just to call people idiots is only supporting my theory that you're here to annoy people.

And as for the "clearing up comment", you're repeating yourself. So there's further evidence of creating this topic just for attention as you're bumping it by just recycling your post and re-wording it to appear to be different. You may fool others, but not me.

As I stated in a previous post its more hitching and stuttering than framerate. The FPS is fine when it's not stuttering. Probably down to bad optimization.

Again, throwing in a jab at the game when you can. You're being too vague for anyone to offer an explanation. When does it happen? Have you checked the requirements and made edits to the options to compensate gaps in performance? As far as I've seen, you mention this happens with the Terrain tool, which uses particle effects. That'll tank a system unexpectedly as it renders in the fog and the engine handing the deformation/reformation. It's how a game like Minecraft, despite the simple graphics, to cause issues on high end systems.

I'd also bet that some people who state they have no stuttering issues at all are probably lying. I think youll find there are many many posts about it on here. So yeah pretty poor optimization. If you had a great experience then lucky you. Go grab yourself a biscuit!

Further pointless attacks, followed by "it's out there if you can be bothered to look for it!". I think you'll find plenty examples of people assuming it's the game's fault only to find out it's their system, and I know one example today where the FPS drops was down to the game launching on their second monitor. The problem with hoping we find the posts you want us to find is that you're leaving the door open for people to expose you.

Also, I didn't bother to mention it before, but avoiding and re-wording your performance issues as something else doesn't actually alter the meaning of what you're actually saying, especially since you're still bringing it back to optimisation. I'd LOVE to call you out on not reading the system requirements and happily blame the fact your PC cannot handle fog effects and particle movement, but frankly there's more than enough here already to confirm how little you understand performance problems and their causes without needing that. And as I mentioned, the need to re-word it just to say the same thing again confirms the fact you're more concerned with bumping the thread than listening to people.

So just so we're clear, you said that your frames per second were "fine" until "stuttering" happens. So the frames per second are impacted when the frames per second unexpectedly and suddenly change...

See my point? You should.

Well I bought the game the day it was released and I can honestly say without doubt that the terrain tool has NEVER stuttered on my pc EVER until this release. So i'd call that a bug or thats how its intended. If it's intended then its just purely awful.

Pointless reference to when you bought the game to feint support. Needing to state you're being "honest", and then further pointless accusations that this extreme unlikely event is the developers intended design.

You know what's changed since release? The way the planet's generated. Just last update before the launch had a section to test the new terrain generation tool which also showed the tutorial section. That's a fairly large change from the release build, and could explain the performance dips. But then that's common sense and knowing the game's development history, and leaves little room to call people names now doesn't it? d=P

Disappearing resources that im mining. Yeah i'd call that a bug too.

Outside of possibly being vague on purpose to cover up the fact you need a large amount of "blobs" and you can see roughly how close you are to getting a usable chunk of it, there's nothing here to actually aid in finding what's causing the "bug" to begin with. Like with the first post only talking about two saves with no attempt to reload then mentioning there's a issue with reloading as an aside at the end, this seems to point to you mashing out the response without actually thinking about what you're talking about, or indeed what you're trying to achieve here.

Yes as I already addressed in my OP the oxygenator is a NEW thing that someone pointed out.

False.

That was edited after it was pointed out to you. Adding it in now doesn't make the thread disappear. So posting that you "already addressed it" when that was not the case when I was posting before is just a waste of time. This is why I quote posters like you. Because of little changes like that to be used later as "I know, I said that DURR" moments. It's rare that I get a catch on that trap, but it's sweet when it happens.

Also, one of those people was me, so thanks for showing you're not bothering to pay attention either. Too easy.

If I hadnt come to the forum to rant I would simply have thought the game was broken and uninstalled it. The tutorial (you know that bit thats meant to show you how the game works) does nowhere mention this oxygenator. Nor has it been that way all the way through alpha. So I'd call that a MASSIVE oversight.

Further changing the original argument to carry on trying desperately to slag the developer off. You're blaming a recent change which you verify that was only just added, to "the rest of the alpha".

Nevermind the clear reason why something two years ago wouldn't reference something added yesterday, let's just point out that the tutorial didn't even exist until the terrain generator demo was added, and that the help was given through a set of static help images.

Hi. You're actively telling me you weren't in the game two years ago, or cannot remember what was in the game and are hoping you're right. This is why I say drop the need to make this a personal attack. Because you're adding needless details like this, then getting them completely wrong just to throw a worthless insult which isn't even linked to the original complaint.

The one actual bug in your whole rant and you just invalidated it. Great work, sport!

Maybe when you upright the tethers in the tutorial they connect to an oxygenator but this is in no way made clear. Especially when you could tether to everything from shuttles to rovers to pods in alpha.

"You should update this in the same way it's always been" is a nice statement, however tethers going dark is a fairly large sign of something not working right. There's also the common sense angle. "If you can't breathe, then clearly there's no air to breathe", right?

Again, this is skipping over the fact that:

1. You didn't even know about it originally and only have updated the post recently in the hopes no one caught that.

2. You're assuming the tether system was changed to reflect the new equipment.

I'm going to need to boot the game up to confirm this, which I can't do right now, but I'm fairly confident the system is the exact same as it has been for the last few months. And has been since launch. It lights up to confirm that it's connected to a source, but it doesn't mention if that source has the supplies needed to suit the demand. And if you think that's bad design, then never even look at a game of Factorio, or indeed most production line style games.

The game does however make you think its going to connect by drawing a line between the tether and the base. Then it simply doesnt connect. There is nothing that tells you there is a supply drop waiting either. That is simply BAD design. Get over it!!!

Oh yes. This old gag. "I don't like this, it's bad design!", "I didn't understand this and needed people on the internet to tell me what it does, it's bad design!", "I need to lie or mislead people reading this post in order to make this pathetic rant where I have a need to call people dumb every fourth line, it's all their fault!"...

Kiddo, "bad" is an opinion. You don't get a pass on people critising how you're presenting an argument because you don't "like" how something is. Especially since you called it a bug to begin with.

Again, you're being vague on purpose. "It just stops working! FIX IT!" helps no one. And now it's not a bug but "it's bad design"? I'm glad you're starting to see the light, sport, but you jumped from one terrible excuse to rant on the boards to the other. Again, you're assuming something you didn't understand or knew how it worked was a personal attack or deliberate choice to annoy people, and are now using that to throw abuse at the development team rather than owning up to the mistake.

If it's a bug, then how did you discover it? Can you repeat it? Has anyone copied what you did to generate it? If the answer is no, then it's either your system which is the problem, or you're making crap up as you need it.

Again, all you're doing here is just showing me how little you understood about the early access process, and are linking what you hated or didn't understand about the game to bugs in the hope people flock to the thread to give you that sweet attention you're craving.

FOR THE FINAL TIME IT'S NOT IN ALPHA ANYMORE! It's not in early access!!! The same rules do not apply ANYMORE! People are allowed to complain when the game is in FULL release. Merely stating that no game is released without bugs does not exonerate the game from criticism you fool.

Lol your desperate fanboy'ing is so pathetic its actually quite laughable. All you literally did was clutch at straws with everything you posted with post like "Well lets just assume.....".

Ok well lets assume that it IS a bug shall we. You see how easy this is?

You dont know if the character being visible is a bug or not do you? So lets just assume that my point is valid and move on. Even easier.

Framerate or hitching etc. Yeah I mispoke and corrected myself in a follow up post. And seeing as though there are many people complaining of this happening I'd like to think maybe they are right and its you that is wrong. Who knew eh?

Well is it bad design or is it a bug? You can gloss over this oversight as much as you like with well it clearly isnt a bug and use that as a defence to defend your beloved game but it still doesnt make it good design. And seeing as there are many people who thought the same thing I'd say that point is valid too.

In a nutshell I pointed out this was my experience of 5 minutes spent in a game that is meant to be in full release and hasnt even been tested. People are complaining of all sorts of bugs. From items falling through the floor to astroneers falling through the floor etc etc. Merely sticking your head in the sand and defending the game because these thing havent happened to you is just simply idiotic. But you are a fanboi after all and will clutch at ANY straws you can to defend.
Nake Feb 6, 2019 @ 8:52am 
The game already has a solid base, it lacks content but you have to wait. Nowadays the games are like that, or they sell them in parts with DLCs or they just come almost empty, I agree with that, but we have to complain about 90% of the games that are in Steam or simply understand that things changed and today in day the players are simple wallets, or we stop buying original games or we accept the reality :lunar2019deadpanpig:
SirusTheMadDJ Feb 6, 2019 @ 9:06am 
You'll excuse me the double post, but I type slowly. I can probably tell there's going to be more BS slinging and desperate pleas for attention while I'm making this one, but frankly kiddo I'm done caring about your "feelings".

So, let's finish this with the level of respect you want. No tears now. You're gagging for this fight.

Firstly, you yourself freely admit you cannot tell if something is a bug or "bad design". You demostrate a lack of knowledge with what's new, only to pretend to have known before hand and attempt to fob off one of the people who confirmed that for it, and now the compriention issues are ours, and not yours?

Learn how to present your dribbling mass of logic you call a post. If we "cannot understand" where you're coming from, that's your fault, sport.

And then we get to more outright accusations that the developers are attempting to mislead people. Yes, a lack of a preview image and a glowing indicator to press a button is a horrible con artist's trick to get our money! Oh Heavens above and seas below, where o where is mine saviour to pointlessly call people idiots!

Get over yourself. If this is as serious as you claim it to be, you'd grow a pair and post a review where it can be seen by more people rather than cowardly hide in here hoping for someone less dense to bail you out of your own mistakes.

Also, since I went to your public profile to confirm a lack of this, we have this little tidbit. "Welcome to Russia" says the user claiming his account is in the UK... Also known as https://gyazo.com/dd496ea37fd5e37427015d13d7043212

Post showing that you understand that the tethers do in fact report a lack of Oxygen : https://steamcommunity.com/app/361420/discussions/1/

"Where's combat", in a post I actually forgot you were in I might add, https://steamcommunity.com/app/361420/discussions/0/

Three posts all attacking the game well before this post was created, https://gyazo.com/0a3f92b20fff3f977950d91f4b0075d4

Annnd two further posts telling people there's no content, again a month after this "report". https://gyazo.com/d86a3f4429118c384961d5ab3b22250c

You're a terrible troll, child. You're making this look personal. This is pathetic. I'd pity you if this wasn't over a £20 video game you claim to have bought two years ago on an account that hides games and only posts are from last November. Yes I see that 14 years badge, but I think we both know that's pointless to mention here.

There's a reason they hide their full accounts, sport. Rookie mistake.

What could be seen as an oversight could also be a bug or are you too stupid to realise this? IE for all we know the character SHOULD be visible. There isnt a game in history with a CC thats ever been released where you cannot see the character you're creating lol.

Still skipping over the workaround that it's editable planetside. Again, the one rare moment you actually have a possible bug, and you're using that as an example of "everything else not working", in a thread where you're shown you know sweet FA about the game, and have to resort to guesswork and vague details to "fill out the rest".

If that is "a bug filled con job", then you've been extremely lucky. No sound issues, server problems, no crashes to desktop errors, no hard lock ups... Hell I'll take that. d=P

The game IS STILL a bug ridden mess however much you wanna fanboi wank over it. And there are many many more bugs ive since seen and seen others post about too. So I think i'll stick with the OP thanks.

Bursts out laughing

ORIGINAL. POST. Can also refer to the orignal poster, but well done in showing you didn't know what that term was.

But that's not the best part, as stupid as telling people you'd stick with yourself is on a topic you're arguing with even yourself on...

You had to edit it. And the edit was to hide the fact there was a part of the game you completely failed to spot the first time round.

Thanks. You're really making this far too easy, kiddo.

The stuttering has nothing to do with the files. Its simply bad optimization. As I quite clearly stated! There is nothing wrong with my files

Yeah no, you "clearly stated" the game has "random slow down when you dig something", which shows me that your rig's chugging over the dust effects terrain changing generates.

And the point you're forcing this statement on isn't the point the poster was making. Verfying files isn't going to solve an issue with performance, but it may help exposing what you "think" is a bug (IE the resources "disappearing") as an install issue. The fact you're unwilling to provide full details of these, as well as completely giving up on actually using supporting evidence at all at this point seals the deal on the "sad and pathetic manchild screaming about a budget release video game for attention" matter. Hence the drop of patience you're now experiencing.

Post number two. You've now even refusing to bother quoting, so in need of attention that you're taking the shortest route possible.

Originally posted by Straker:

Again, pointless and meaningless attack. What does the fact they decided to fully release the title out of early access have anything to do outside of showing the reason you're bothering on these boards to begin with? Nothing.

Maybe you ought to go read the bug report forum as it's clearly a perfect game for you. And if a VERY content light buggy substandard release is what you were hoping for then hooray!!! You got your wish. And no you can't blame Alpha anymore!

Here's where I linked or screen shotted what is effectively your entire post history. Guess where else, outside of piggybacking other pointless attack threads, did you post these exact same "bugs"?

Also, needing to direct people to a bug forum as a means to tell them how "bad" the state of the game is? Needing to tell people it's "light on content" regardless of the fact that has nothing to do with your post?

I'm so glad you gave up trying to hide, child. Not that you were doing a good job of it in the first place, but at least now you're just resorting to the same tired newbie troll freshly mocked of Reddit does. Devolve into nonsensical blathering. You own and recommend No Man Sky (as evident from your other sole posts and comments made on other topics here). Do I need to remind you that game literally was unplayable for most players, or leave it at commenting that it's still not worth the asking price despite the fantastic effort Hello Games has put it to improve the game since it's now legendary launch problems.

Hello kid. I've been trolling forums since the late 90s. You're not as smart as you want them to believe.

And no I dont want to hate this game(...)

Stop lying to me. This is on the exact same thread as you called the developers "idiots", "morons", and stated that we're all being "duped" with it. Why do you idiots even attempt this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥?

(...)but I will call out incompetence when I see it.

Reminder. One "bug" was due to you not knowing about a vital base componant, and are relying on your personal opinion and that alone to call other "bugs" as such to cover how little you understood about the game to begin with. Any bug that might exist is glossed over to return to a customisation issue that doesn't effect gameplay, and a performance issue vaguely explained without any background information or technical stats to help reach a remedy.

"I don't want to hate this game, but I'll spend a full day calling people wankers for pointing out the massive holes in my post" is closer to the truth, isn't it?

And this game has been rushed out to a full release with pretty much NO content added. Or the bare minimum at least! PS no wonder they were keeping quiet about the severe lack of actual content they added lol. They also released no patch notes as it would be quite obvious they didnt release any substantial content. But ive been saying this for ages

First off, no child. You haven't "been saying it for ages". I can see your post history. So you can cut that pretentious crap to start with.

Second, here's two full paragraphs of you repeating the exact same point out, as well as stretching it out to make it look more than what it actually is. On a thread where you've not mentioned it before, and it's off topic to the one you yourself created this thread for the purpose of detailing what you thought were bugs, but in fact was you covering up your potato of a PC or the potato that is your brain.

Checkmate. You can return to trying to convince me you're a fellow Brit now.

Which has nothing to do with anything you're flailing your little head over screaming nonsense about.

You're the one stating the opinion of the game. You're the one actively dodging requests for more information. You're the sole person even mentioning the version like it matters.

Yes, the fact it's "not in alpha anymore" is meaningless. The fact this magically means you're free to excuse pathetic insults as "valid opinion" is a desperate attempt to cover up you soleyl being here to piss as many people off as possible.

Lol your desperate fanboy'ing is so pathetic its actually quite laughable. All you literally did was clutch at straws with everything you posted with post like "Well lets just assume.....".

Yeah I didn't think you could read either. "lol". Spoilers, quoting the entire post, then completely ignoring it isn't smart. It just highlights the need for the response and confirms you're a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Report will be filled. So, I'd keep that box handy as you're finishing reeal soon.

Ok well lets assume that it IS a bug shall we. You see how easy this is?

You dont know if the character being visible is a bug or not do you? So lets just assume that my point is valid and move on. Even easier.

Repeating it doesn't magically make it right. And the matter of this being a bug or not has nothing to do with anything you're posting about. The fact you're focusing on this rather than the other matters explains a lot. There's no argument here outside of the one you're having with yourself trying to justify calling them idiots, and endlessly using this to say the rest of the game is broken is objectively false.

It'll be easier if you gave up and focused on things that mattered.

Framerate or hitching etc. Yeah I mispoke and corrected myself in a follow up post. And seeing as though there are many people complaining of this happening I'd like to think maybe they are right and its you that is wrong. Who knew eh?

...For the love of... There is no right or wrong here. There's NOTHING here. All you're saying is that your game has stuttering. THAT'S IT. Nothing about what's causing it, hell you could have Chrome open in the background and that'll cause any game to have performance issues with RAM bottlenecking. With no explanation, there is no conclusion to be drawn.

And relying on your fellow ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to give you an out is clearly not working. Again, this is all pointless retreading of the exact same post. You're doing nothing to help your cause, and as a result firmly convince me you're just here to be an annoying little child.

Well is it bad design or is it a bug? You can gloss over this oversight as much as you like with well it clearly isnt a bug and use that as a defence to defend your beloved game but it still doesnt make it good design. And seeing as there are many people who thought the same thing I'd say that point is valid too.

What the ♥♥♥♥ is this even talking about? "My FPS issues are an oversight?" Did little Timmy forget to copy over what he wanted to say here? Are you high?

In a nutshell I pointed out this was my experience of 5 minutes spent in a game that is meant to be in full release and hasnt even been tested.

Outright confirming any comment about owning the game prior to be a lie. Again, thanks for telling me what I already knew, idiot.

People are complaining of all sorts of bugs. From items falling through the floor to astroneers falling through the floor etc etc. Merely sticking your head in the sand and defending the game because these thing havent happened to you is just simply idiotic. But you are a fanboi after all and will clutch at ANY straws you can to defend.

If you bothered to read the forum, you would see this. Here's me and a friend in a recording late night showing bugs. I attempt to offer what I think is happening, but I get a tad distracted by my friend mucking about.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-UqMjXHVOQ

This is what the game looked like two years ago. Now, where in your entire post history did you mention something like this that actually shows those events happening?

I posted this, and I had a response with a week. All you did, and a reminder that I can SEE your post history, was post what you thought was a bug, then attempted to change the story to blame anyone else but you when it turned out to be you not knowing the game.

We're done here, vermin.

No clipping issues and the framerate is as I'm used to until now.


The ships when you use them need a oxygen generator installed in order to use tethers from your ship when you land on other planets.

Funnily enough theres been quite a few reviews out now that talk of BUGS GALORE. Stuttering and lack of content etc etc detailing everything I stated in my OP and more. So Fan boi away and spend your time talking complete bollocks to try and defend this game.

You literally debunked nothing lol. And it's also a bit sad. But I guess you are a shill so it's kind of your job. I can see your post history too hence my comment that you sprout up to FAN WANK over everyone who criticises your pwecious mess of a game lol.

There has been literally almost ZERO content added to 1.0 from Pre - Alpha. No amount of defending is gonna change that. The planets are DULL. They still look pretty much the same as terrain 1.0 lol. There is NO character progression at all. No story despite them saying there is one. Just a dull grind over boring planets. Hell they even took out the storms on the 1st planet at least lol. No that they were EVER a threat.

It's basically just a glorified TECH DEMO that no content was added to. If your idea of fun is to explore caves with nothing to find that you wont have seen in the first 2 hrs of play then good for you. Your existence must be pretty dull. Then you can do the same all again on a different planet but the experience will be exactly the same.

Like I said before and some reviewers are now realising. This game was rushed out to just completion. The devs gave up over 6 months ago. And i've said this all along. Sometimes I just hate being right!!!!! lol.

If you got game during EA and still want to give it a solid try.

Uninstall Astroneer.
Delete Astro folder from appdata/local
Delete Astroneer folder from Steam.

Restart computer.

Reinstall Astroneer. Should cut down on alot of bugs, esp crashes.

There are alot of bugs tho, esp after a few hours or I imagine a potatoe of a pc.
Saving the game and restarting every few hours has really helped my games alot.

It must be a bit hit and miss with some people at the moment. Personally, I haven't ran into any issues yet, but it seems some are having problems

If you got game during EA and still want to give it a solid try.

Uninstall Astroneer.
Delete Astro folder from appdata/local
Delete Astroneer folder from Steam.

Restart computer.

Reinstall Astroneer. Should cut down on alot of bugs, esp crashes.

There are alot of bugs tho, esp after a few hours or I imagine a potatoe of a pc.
Saving the game and restarting every few hours has really helped my games alot.

Thanks bud but its not crashes that are the problem. Constant hitching or stuttering is. And my pc is nowhere near potatoe lol. Tether lines disappearing so they look like they are disconnected (Thats a bug from years ago). Terrain tool jumping. Items simply vanishing. Vehicles falling through the floor. Items falling through.etc etc. The list goes on!

Coupled with terrain that looks worse than the original terrain. An horizon line that dips a away so rapidly you always feel like youre constantly trying to look over a hill. Probably done to cut down on draw calls by not drawing hidden polys lol. Very scarce resources unless you're REALLY lucky. Good luck trying to build a ramp up. Your toon has all the agility of a pregnant hippo it seems. Bland caves. Non existant plant lif or threat from plant life. In fact since they took out storms literally no threat or fear of dying at all! They just made it a slow tedious grind. Thats just artificially extending the game because theres no REAL content lol. Boring!

I would 100% refund if I wasnt over 2hrs ofc!

The character being missing from the customiser is an omission

The oxygenator is something that should have had info updated to include it. Even the tutorial could have been used to highlight the fact you need to plug it into something.

The ingame pedia thing has also not been updated to be launch ready.

A bug would be the way vehicles will often simply glue themselves into the terrain, usually while parked but it can also happen whilst driving. You should not have to save scum driving from point a to point b in a game with zero hazards.

New terrain generation should have also covered how vehicles behave while moving around and yet the brand new tractor has the pulling power of a skateboard and very little traction when it comes to going up the slightest of inclines.

Sorry, but I have had no problems. Not one. I am thrilled with the content.
