In response to "The complaints I'm seeing are mostly around how shallow the game is (ie: stuff is basically the same on every planet, just recolored)" by oblique

there are similarities (the bases are all very similar), but the worlds are vastly different. Any complainors are just nitpicking ninnies -- nm

I came VERY close to drowning in a cave last night. I've had two deaths so far, space pirates and a gaggle of sentinels on a high security world. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 08:17 8
- That's actually the kind of thing that really interests me. Finding X that means I have to go get Y and Z to be able to work through it -- nm - oblique Aug 10, 08:28 5
  - You can straight up buy resources too, via aliens and/or trading portals. -- nm* - Shaun Aug 10, 08:32 4
    - yeah. While I accept that trading is a part of it, I'm actually finding myself more interested in personal resource gathering - oblique Aug 10, 08:40 2
      - I think if you wanted to play like that, you could, but I also think you'd be robbing yourself of the full experience. -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 08:47 1
        
        it would also take a lot longer imo -- nm - decline Aug 10, 08:56
    - you can, but still need to find one selling what you need -- nm - decline Aug 10, 08:35
- I jumped into the ocean on a planet and the water was so toxic it killed my shield in less than a minute. Space pirates got me twice -- nm - decline Aug 10, 08:21 1
  - I had one really toxic pool of water, but I had to dive to get to a monolith. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 08:22
landscape, perhaps, but at least what I was reading was along the lines of "same animal, different color" or "same animal but horns instead of nubs" - oblique Aug 10, 08:17 11
- *shrug* 18 gazillion stars, each with multiple planets. It'd be impossible to make unique flora/fauna on each one. - decline Aug 10, 08:20 6
  - Yeah, I'm not sure if it will bother me either. The only other thing I noticed from watching a few people was just the "where do I get X" for certain - oblique Aug 10, 08:24 5
    - that's my only complaint so far, that and your dude walks *slooooooooow*. -- nm - mafic Aug 10, 08:51 1
      - He can sprint and apparently you can, while sprinting, hit melee and then use the rocket pack to propel forward quickly. -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 08:54
    - that can be frustrating, but is part of the learning curve. People need to learn the symbols from the scans and also realize not every element is on - decline Aug 10, 08:27 2
      - the last part is the part that's probably hardest. It would actually be nice if there was (or maybe there is) a kind of planetary scan - oblique Aug 10, 08:29 1
        
        yup (more) -- (edited) - decline Aug 10, 08:30
- Toxic rain was green on one planet and then purple on another. LAME!! -- nm - Shaun Aug 10, 08:18 3
  - Gold was a green crystal on one of mine. -- nm - Ender Aug 10, 08:24 2
    - yup, and on a different planet it'll be huge golden domes (gold is a real good trade commodity) -- nm* - decline Aug 10, 08:28
    - Haven't see gold yet. I do like that there was only one species of hostile wildlife on my planet though and it was a crablike creature. - Shaun Aug 10, 08:27
