First of all, thank you to everyone that has tested Elon and provided feedback.
You all have spoken and thanks to their feed back I have compiled a list of fixes requested.
- Volume adjustments and muting are first and for most on the list.
- The Miner Pickup seems to be difficult to find so it will be moved and made easier.
- Stats monitor screen Adjustments to stop flickering.
- Door Visualization and Animation. The doors should be easier to see when open and closed from outside the ship.
- Adding alerts for low air and energy in your suit.
- Small camera tweaks and FoV adjustments. Making switching views more smooth.
What to look forward to in the future.
- The most important coming addition is the building Hubs to expand your home. This will arrive very soon.
- Crafting Rework. Crafting is intended to be done at stations where each "printer" can make a single item at a time if given the materials.
- Locomotion and moving through space to explore and avoid dangers like black holes and planetary gravity, both of which would result in a very fiery unpleasant day.
- Hydroponic farming and food. Surviving on algae gets old and is just that surviving.
- Repairing your ship and built items.
- Gravity Rework so you can have Hubs with and without gravity.
- Adding Range and randomness to the asteroid field.
These next few are ideas that are tentatively planned but are subject to removal based on player interest.
- Space is boring and having access to old classic games from the past would help to pass the time. The in game arcade will be accessible from the ships computer and have a variety of small throwbacks to great iconic games. getting a good score will provide boosts to your player as well as possible show on a leader board. In fact one of these already has a prototype.
- Rescuing NPC's. build a scanner, locate stranded others and rescue them. But be careful they will also need food, water, oxygen and a place to sleep. rescue too many and you all might die. VERY LIKELY TO SHOW UP. AS WELL.
- Animal Farm. No not Orwell. More like "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should" Thanks to the amazing technology of cloning you too can have a farm in space, all you need is the DNA, it cant be that hard to find in space. Right?.
