just generally impressions that the procedural variety, at least in certain things, lacked enough variables to make things really random

Responses:

*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
