First of all: thank you. I got the game free on Epic and was underwhelmed immediately. This scenario and its rules completely changed that. I'm sure it's been a ton of work, but thanks for the effort, it is appreciated.

I'd like to suggest that you move the FAQ, Wiki, Enhancement Requests, and other things into github, just like you have already with bug reporting. That would also allow you to build structured forms for feedback so it's faster/easier to digest.

I'd like to suggest that you upload and maintain the game files in the github repo not only so you have structured source control, but also this will allow Pull Requests from community members to help contribute and make it much easier for you to merge changes from both internal and outside sources.

I'd like to suggest that you move the FAQ, Wiki, and other relevant data into github (that has dedicated locations for these things). Firstly, because it would be easier to maintain for you guys, and also because the game is being played on more than just Steam.

The AI text-to-speech has become incredibly cheap (some free) and extremely life-like nowadays, even including things like sliders for various emotional contexts and accents. It's worth looking into.

I'd like to suggest that either certain tech unlocks require that you be at certain places along the story or that the story itself include best-practice side missions for when to build a Bike, BA, HV, SV, or CV (even purpose-driven versions). You already have the freedom mode thing for people who don't want a catered experience.

One good example would be that IDA suggests building a light armor to use jets to reach the console on the crashed ship at the beginning. If the light armor were locked until then, it would provide more of a synchronous tech progression with the story. The same goes for finding a sniper rifle to fight off the drone there: that would be an ideal time to allow the snipe rifle to be unlocked.

I guess, in a way, what I'm suggesting is to build a catered tutorial alongside the scenario campaign. It should be spread out, unlike the official tutorial that dumps with information overload. This way, a new player can learn-as-you-go, with each step delving deeper into the mechanics that were not relevant when first introduced (i.e. linked inventory/logistics has no purpose until you are working with large/heavy things).

I'm not sure what all options you have available for cleaning up the UI (I haven't looked into modding technicalities). The UI in general is way too busy, loaded with useless information, etc. For example, the tooltips on tech-tree mouse-over contain vast amounts of data that in most cases you never care about except in certain cases (it could be condensed easily into a few words of description). It would be nice to have this cleaned up to reduce fatigue while playing (Space Engineers also has this problem).

You may want to make available an override for single player games that extend decay timers to 15 or 30 minutes. In many cases, the triggers for IDA cause dialog to exceed the 2-5 minutes on current decay timers, and some fights with enemies exceed the decay timer for corpses so you cannot go back to loot after the fight is over (and the subsequent IDA speech is done).

If you haven't already, I'd suggest contacting Eleon about the possibility of a contract for having Reforged Eden be an official free DLC. From what I've read, your guys mod has been pretty much essential to people liking the game (it certainly was for me), and thus have contributed to their continued sales considerably. I would not be on board with a paid DLC since it has already been available for free (unless the scenario was free, but had an accompanied cosmetic pack or something available for sale). If you/they decided to go that route, I think it'd make the most sense to have updates to the scenario spread out more (maybe biannual). I'm not a lawyer, so do not know the implications of handing off the creative license to Eleon ownership, but I would think something could be worked out (similar to how Medieval Engineers allowed official community patches).
