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

But in reality "the unfinished product WIP beta" has led to "planet tech sucks" so it's understandable to be in both topics? :)
Anger - yes, I can cope with that.

But if you were angry about OD being UNFINISHED you should realize,
that aesthetics are pretty far in priority list,
so it's not probable that what we have is the final/intended look of planets.
 
Wait, so there are people in the thread pretending the repeating textures arent real? I thought that was satire, or that people were just screwing with each other.

Me angry? :D That's a nice one, thx. No, in the end it's a borked product not anything more...
Albeit a loved product, it seems...

And after the ticket and the general problems, I'm relatively sure, they fix a lot of things.
 
The sides of that mountain look painfully stretched. It looks like Tom from Tom and Jerry hit his head, and the bump on his head had to stretch the small amount of skin on his forehead to painful levels. It doesn't look good.

However I will say that the mountains near the bottom, closer to you, have some nice ridges. That's how mountain sides should look like.
I call them silicone hills, because of their natural appearance.
 
I like how some of the people who were angry about "FD selling unfinished alpha/beta WIP build as finished product"
are now angry about "new planetary tech makes planets look like this, and it won't get any better".

Choose one.
Does the "unfinished/WIP game" part of their anger cover the "new planetary tech sucks" part of their anger, as well, or nah?
 
David B. Just had a whole post about Fleet carriers hurting the network then talked about performance, and disconnects.
Then how innovative this game is (which is true)...

At this point this is their main focus...MVP stabilize, optimize.

There will be no near future fix for the issue on this thread so it seems.
 
I dont follow. Are you satirizing the obvious downgrade to some procedural systems, or are you denying that those downgrades exist? Pictures dont always convey the words you might be thinking of.
Well you've skipped a thread and a half haven't you? I am pointing out how some here are seeing repeating patterns that don't really exist. It is a common flaw in the human's brain observation of things where it tries to find patterns in reality.

Now, I am very aware and agree that there is an issue with planetary generation repeating biomes. Let me make that clear, there is an issue in SOME cases where it also becomes VERY EVIDENT. But some people are taking it too far and seeing non existant patterns in some surfaces. It is a dangerous activity that could lead of obsession and no amount of patches from Frontier will cure.
