There could be local missions giving you temporary legitimate access to the otherwise forbidden parts of the settlement. Something like transport a large container from A to B.
Give us a reason to stay on planets.
- Thread starter Duel Forever
- Start date
True but I'm thinking like 3-10KM max and networks of maybe 2-10 settlements.
Science-y settlements should offer missions to trek outside the boundary a few kms to find and sample local biology (or geology - if that game loop ever becomes a thing) and bring them back.
I used to have a car like that too.
Good suggestion.
Also.. where are the cities? I can't believe that in the future humanity hasn't built any city on low atmospheric planets full of precious and valuable materials and economy.
And please add also something to do while exploring planets. Is it possible that legs exploration gameplay is only about shooting plants?
Yep - I've raised suggestions for exploration gameplay improvements many many times in depth in the hope that the devs (or more importantly the product managers) decide that they are worthy. Everything from mining using deployable rigs, or hand mining with the cutting tool being given a press R for drilling mode, soil science, geological science for evidence of past habitability (like the Percy rover does IRL on Mars), more secondary and tertiary RNG rewards game loops for the biological (and any new geological) gameplay, more interactions and opportunities with Vista Genomics - who currently are just a one menu item interaction. Give them your stuff. Wow. We need a whole Kiosk for that? No missions on the boards for exploration, no go to this system find planets with X, get samples, return and hand in to Vista and then claim mission reward on top... nada. Literally every planet could have compelling gameplay that is not that hard to implement - using existing models and just expanding on the bare bones stuff. You could be out in the black for months with stuff to do that has multiple avenues of interest.
As for the cities, of course the real reason is framerates would go into a wormhole and never be seen again.
been driving my srv for nearly 2.5 hours on the same planet that seems to have more dead rocks than minerals. And when you do find them and exploded the rock you have enough time to pick up 2-3 of the minerals, the rest seem to vanished into thin air.
shot 1 rock and the minerals just shot off into oblivion.no materials around.
shot another and the minerals of 5 was reduced to 2 just for turn the srv around.it hard enough having to go over the dam silly over the top height map without have to search for missing materials.

That's broken at the moment, look straight up, sometimes they just hang in the air. Considering that most planets we can drive on are airless rocks, finding mostly airless rock probably isn't surprising, concentrated minerals are common on the earths surface either, personally I think we should have mining equipment where we can identify mineral rich areas and mine for stuff, like mining in rings only on the ground, maybe one day!
