Rover

[cary_micheal2000]

Has any progress or update been made concerning the rover... any of them???//

[mazrados]

I also hope for that. For now rover is pretty useless.

First of all it's not pressurized so I have still very little time for mining.
And ores are everywhere so there is no point to go further anyway.

please put the rover back in the game as it is 1 of the reasons I bought the game in the first place

[rotard]

Another vote for the pressurized rover. Given that for some reason straws don't exist in this universe and my guy inexplicably can't go more than a few minutes without drinking, I can't realistically go anywhere in the existing rover anyway. Useless!

Rover was cool, but very glitchy, like it would launch itself off the moon for no reason... I hope they add some future content for research that requires you to drive a distance to retrieve an item and return to base... Then the rover becomes necessary again..

[Clawsterment]

even a moon buggy would surfice

Whatever they come up with doesn't need to get blown away or destroyed by a storm.

Yes, please bring back the rover. Long haul trips on Venus is impossible. I run out of food, water, air way to fast even with suit settings tuned for Venus. I've hoovered up pretty much everything in walking / jetpack distance. I am now mining just at my PNR. Once all that stuff is gone my save is f*cked. Unless I go creative and dont want to do that.

Additionally it would be nice if dust storms regenerated voxels over time to fill in holes I've mined. I literally cant walk around outside anywhere without fallin in a pothole.

There's always the Terrain Manipulator to plug up holes, but yeah, typically I'll deliberately do my early mining away from where plan to build the base.

[Faithlight]

I did that lol, but necessity dictated I mine near my base. Plugging all those holes with the manipulator will take days of doing nothing less...... n' I've got stuff to be growin'

There are systems to get infinite resources: deep miners and rocket, you will never run out of ores.

Also check the mining glasses, if you still don't have them. You will find that there are tons of ores waiting for you in the deep ground.

Don't like the deep mining, too slow and the return is not great. The rocket is good, used it on another world. Have the chip, and glasses. One of the first things I invested in once i got the materials.

We're currently working on redefining the play area, including the size, how it is generated, and what it looks like. These things are essential to do before considering vehicles of any kind as it has a big impact. Once that's done we can revisit vehicles and what they might be used for. For now there are no solid plans or work underway though.

[Faithlight]

What about a player usable shuttle then? You already have the groundwork done here. That also bypasses the terrain issues for the most part with the exception of landing on it. Definitely need something though, RN I am wasting a lot of inventory space on spare gas and water bottles as I am having to travel very far from my base and the jetpack is just not practical, if a storm happens I a blown very far off course

Oh and thanks for the reply :)

I agree put the rover back, it worked fine for me. I need to explore a place for my perm base and jet pack doesn't last for crap. An airborne vehicle atmosphere only works for me as well. And why is it that SE, satisfactory, occupy mars. Etc all have rovers but now stationeers which is more sophisticated than those games can't support it? Maybe put it back with an option check box in the settings and a disclaimer? I want to enjoy the game again but no rover / vehicle is a game breaker.
