what do you even do in this game?

[vadyrady]

imtalking about single player campaign and all, you get stuck with not being able to build vehicles, and infinite loop of rescuing or capturing things, which still stoped by fact you cant build anything because you dont spend weeks to build single thing. sorry for mistyping, just want to get answer (its gonna be while before i read your replies)

Building things is the core of the game, the sandbox world is pretty empty and missions are very basic and repetitive. Crate and chest hunting can be fun.

Which problem are you having to solve?

BTW, you can use workshop vehicles.

I personally mostly ignore the career and campaign part of SW, I just have fun building vehicles for all sorts of different purposes and missions. If you dislike the missions, why not make one of your own? Download the improved weapons AI addon, and have fun blasting them to pieces with your overpowered creation. Bored? Build a functional submarine with ICBM's that can take out players a continent away. Really, just have fun. Sometime I look at my creations and see how much they suck, prompting me to take a really good workshop creation and either take it apart to see how it works, or just play around with it and have fun. Now with the new space update, there is literally a whole new world to explore (as long as you can get there, that is...). Hope this helped!

how do you make missions
also isnt default world empty so building weapons/spawn enemies then you know hwere they are

Okay, to start with, I always start a game in custom. This adds a layer of customization, and the ability to noclip out of tricky situations. I have two different worlds (many more, but for the sake of this discussion only 2) one with nothing in it, a barren wasteland devoid of any addons. This is great for building in peace. The second world has everything enabled, including the Improved Weapons AI Addon. This adds some better enemies, including land ones. Also, the Improved Weapons Addon (linked below) has a feature where you can show all the enemies on the map. (You can also see them by looking for the red islands) Then just fly your favorite plane / sail your favorite ship / drive your favorite tank out there, and have fun. Missions are relatively easy to make, just click on the mission editor button in the esc menu. Add the vehicles you want, edit the lua code, and you are good to go. Hope This helped! Here is the link to the Improved Weapons Mode:

It's a building game. If you don't enjoy building you're probably not going to have a good time.

The world is dead and dull. It's primarily a building game. Customize and configure the Blank Slate Archipelago to your needs.

This is exactly what the game is. What did you think it was when you bought it? Also, if you don't have the weapons dlc, you can't spawn enemies.

problem is how the game is *ahem* "marketed" by youtube. I got sucked in thinking it would be totally different. Now I do all the math I was supposed to learn in high school and obsessively/compulsively custom shade all of my paint for hours on end to make all of my custom made parts look right in the sun....

That's my biggest gripe, colors in world have an odd yellow tint as compared to the editor.
Having a non spherical projection in the editor would also go a long way for making blueprints/schematics.
