Builder playthrough with station.

[Flin Fredstone]

I am enjoying the new station playthrough.
Though i have one question. Is it because i selected the Builder playthrough that i get showered with derelics ? Visiting ships board those ships and lose all their crew to crawlers or bots. My system gets flooded with salvage etc.
I can't keep up with just 6 people and also a station to run and expand.

Have i set something wrong or is that something that could get toned down a little or visiting ships not sacrificing their entire crew leaving their ships derelict as well ?

Nah man, this is just TOO MUCH STUFF !

I’m on day 8 on brutal difficulty. Got 7 derelicts and just can’t keep up with clearing them out fast enough.

3 of them were regular derelicts, just with crawlers, but 3 civilians and one military ship all boarded and failed. And since two more civilians are on their way, I'm sure they too will suffer the same fate.

It kinda feels like my run is ruined already, because I have enough food and energy for the next 50 days. Guess ignoring the derelicts could work too, but then, what's the point ?

Even in a normal game I find there's too many derelicts. I find myself "end-game" ready before I'm one-quarter of the way across the starmap because of so many resources. As a result, I always set the number of derelicts to "Rare" and derelict resources to "Low" in the difficulty settings.

I tried a default "medium" run at station mode and quickly went back to my rare/low settings because the derelicts were coming too fast and furious. But even at these lower settings there seem to be a lot of them. I'm frequently juggling multiple derelicts. Before I can get a new derelict scrapped, a second appears. I can, maybe, finish the first and start the second and then *poof* a third appears...

Same here. Too much is happening.
The games just dumps events on us, instead of allowing focused base building.
Station mode is supposed to be about base building. It isn't now

Well it is experimental, so by playing we can point out things to adjust for the devs.

about right yeah, the thing is i do enjoy seeing the derelicts drifting along, even ships but that causes a bit of artifacts every now and then where the ship is on top of the derelict and you can't see a thing.
