New Planet Tech is KILLER of Exploration (all terrain is tiling/repeating/not procedural/random)

[Agrar Therenus]

Aren't we all ? Except for a minority of trolls, most of us would love if Odyssey delivered and didn't have those massive issues.

We all want the same thing, so stop hiding your head in the sand, and hitting your fellow commander. (not against specifically you, in general).

Yes, well we should keep our criticisms on the specific topic, and not use thread as a podium for all the issues, as many are. Keep it on topic.

If it's proved to be false then the thread really ought to be deleted by the original poster - certainly not an order but it would be best as it inflames the community in a misleading way (again if it's proved to be false)-- and all that should be kept to threads with real concerns.

Very well, I posted them already, but no problem :

Happy to help, let me know if you need the planet location, I also kept them.

And no, it doesn't represent ground. And yes it's an issue. And yes it should be fixed.

Could you highlight where the repeating patterns are? Thanks.

He did like twice already, and then backpedalled and told us it was because of the potato pc we supposedly have.

I am so lost.
My PC isn't the best sure but god if Horizons ran like a dream on Ultra. Boy am I loving the slideshow Odyssey gives me. At least spaceflight is still somewhat stable.

 

[SpaceIsHuge]

This is Horizons. Count how many repeatable textures here, lol. Weeee, gamebreaking! And here those who blame this are closing eyes on a fact that far lod doesnt represent real planet landscape, if its not set to UltraforCapture, just approximation based on premade textures.

Sure thing. I only did 2 of them, let me know if you need the rest.

It was b2 but I'm heading there right now.

@Kay Ross I know you asked not to be pinged directly on twitter posts so please accept my apologies for doing so here but I really think some sort of comment on the new planet tech is long overdue. Is this genuinely working as intended because right now , to almost anyone who chooses to look a bit more closely than just "ooooh, blue sky, pretty!", it really seems like we've taken a significant step backwards from Horizons!

P.S. and sorry if you've been asked or responded already, I'm on holiday with poor wifi and haven't been able to read everything yet.

Yours sincerely
A HUGE fan of your work.

As much we’d like her to, she can’t comment on anything. She would likely get in trouble for it. For better or worse all communications that reflect the company have to be filtered through corporate communications. She wouldn’t jeopardize her job just to make us feel better.

Why else would someone drop into this thread and mention they're busy unlocking some engineer? As if that somehow invalidated the concerns of those who enjoy exploration. What else was it if not a message that he doesn't care about how anyone else experiences the game?

Oh, so the bit where I asked if any others had been found is White Knighting... Selective quoting is fine... So you just dropped in to insult me a little more? Feel free!

 

[Sakashiro]

Not giving a damn doesn't make him a white knight

If he didn't give a damn he wouldn't bother posting here.

 

[SpaceIsHuge]

So... you admit there is an issue? After we were promised more advanced and unique planets, the fact that they are so similar in many cases is excused by the fact that "I saw it in Horizons too?" Final nail in the coffin for you if I'm honest.

You dont really get it, do you? Theyre advanced and unique. Just that model you see far from space is just an approximation and doesnt represent real planet landscape, if its not set to UltraforCapture, just approximation based on premade textures.

It was b2 but I'm heading there right now.

Oh, I see it's not THAT easy to find an easy reachable bugged planet

 

[Rat Catcher]

If he didn't give a damn he wouldn't bother posting here.

Don't you like me posting? Does it bother you?

 

[Remus]

Its very strange indeed.

So far, It seems I am one of the lucky ones that has not yet encountered this kind of texture problem. All my planets are looking great so far.
The simple fact that the same planet can look different to 2 sets of people means that the problem is not the tech itself.

Sure thing. I only did 2 of them, let me know if you need the rest.

I'm genuinely not being obtuse, I just can't see any.

 

[Erei]

the bit[...] found is White Knighting...

Dear lord this is going too far....

That was a joke don't report me

 

[CptArcher]

This is horrible news! I really enjoyed the idea of everything being unique and the potential for exploring something never seen before! This is not very good at all and for the first time I actually felt like I wanted to stop playing the game! Not good fdev, take note!

So you just trolling.

I won't report you... Why should I need to ...
I only report those who appear to have an issue with my opinions and accuse me of being mentally sick...

I took those one because of the crater. It's a very obvious landmark. And it's literally the same one applied over and over. The rest of the planet is very much a repeated pattern, perhaps not a 1 for 1, but it looks very similar with another color.

That crater is pretty much everywhere, a 1 for 1 thing.
