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

[Exard3k]

Well I guess after today's "Revelations" from the staff, I doubt we'll see any prioritisation or short-term changes to our beloved planets

Usually they are "aware" of pretty much everything....haven't seen a word on planetary tech so far

I see a turtle with human-like limbs and torso. It's wierd. Pls remove that picture....we're PEGI 7 here.

Nope, not trolling at all.

I am making a point with an image like a fellow poster tried to do as well. Oh, I am not allowed that too?

Dub me a troll then

Stop being facetious.

Can you spot the repetitive pattern, or are you as blind as a mole ?

In all fairness it's more of a gameplay issue, so it's lower on the list to game breaking bugs, game damaging bugs and performance.

I mean one could argue it damages gameplay, and it does in my view, but it's not damaging in the sense of losing money or combat being too hard making it difficult to progress.

It depends as well I expect on how complicated it is to fix, and also if it is in fact a bug or an oversight.

Oh was there a stream I missed or a post?

I'm happy, that they tackle the performance and UI issues at least now, to be honest, these problems should really have a higher priority than the planet generation.

Somebody suggested Dragons...
I say Loch Ness Monsters...

The issue is perfectly visible there.

Remember it's only my planet that doesn't have repeating patterns. You know, Wyrd, the one that people have also posted if you scroll up a bit circling the zones in question.

EDIT: Ditto as they stated above. Your example is fine, but not Wyrd.

Someone please post the two in one post so Tanuem can see them side-by-side.

Chinese dragon. Qing dynasty flag.

Yes, and if you place sheep on those patterns too then I might as well start seeing them.

It is called "Observer bias", and some are prone to it:

Image 2: No repeating patterns.

No chickens, cats or dragons were hurt in this research.

Take your pick

I am glad we agree now!

OK you are genuinely a troll. Fun over.

I tend to assume real trolls don't exist anymore. It's just so last internet people generation.

basically it is a lazy form of parametric texture mapping

Why should we have worst tech now than in Horizon ? It worked in Horizon. We didn't see the repetition. Why do we have to settle for a "copy and paste" in the bubble, when we used to have better ?
It was advertised as a tech upgrade.

i must assume you where just fine with the perfect straight grid pattern of craters at equl distance which was very common in Horizon then? and that wasnt at all difficult to spot either

 

[Erei]

Someone posted a screenshot on another topic. Ironically, to show how pretty it was compared to Horizon, and all I could see was the issues in the screenshot :

Light red is a fake "fissure" on the ground. Since it's just a texture, it disappear when the texture change to the white stuff, but come back once the original texture is back.
Dark red is an obvious seams between 2 textures.

Also, hard to tell, but I know from experience geysers looks like they are coming from nowhere, until you get close and see the rocks they are coming from.


Note that this was cherry picked to "look good" by the poster.

If I have to chose between horizon planet and edo, I take horizon. And no it wasn't perfect either.
