The developers added a DLC that has put a Glitch Portal in the middle of my base. It cannot be moved or removed unless I buy the DLC. I dislike being held hostage for an expansion that gets terrible reviews.

Decent game, plenty to do early on but then eventually you hit a lull where it just becomes a finish the missions and achievements grind. Story is decent but its all reading so if you dont like reading, you wont get any story. The reading is just small to medium crew logs so they aren't terrible. I tend to zone out when its just pages of text and a couple seemed to be getting there but for the most part they were fine.

The crafting system is annoying, having to scroll through every single item every time you want to craft something is a huge pain and causes other issues like if your storage is full and you are scrolling the items attach to the printer then once you hit the next time they just fall to the ground sometimes going under the foundations. How hard is it to show a list and let us select the recipe we want.

The power network is also buggy. I have 150 excess power between generated and stored but sometimes after coming back to the planet my power generation doesn't seem to add up and all of my stuff is running in low power mode or draining the batteries. Sometimes the batteries flicker between charging and discharging every tick and it gets super annoying hearing the sound. The only fix seems to be to disconnect everything and reconnect it.

Other areas of the game feel like they are also incomplete. There are sensors that let you turn things on and off based on certain factors but its always buggy unless you are in range. For instance you can setup a storage sensor to activate a furnace to create more carbon when the storage empties. If you go out of render range it still uses up all of the carbon for power generation but the sensor doesn't send the signal and the furnace never fires up. Crane seems pointless, most of the vehicles are pointless on any planet other than Sylva because the terrain is so torn up. The VTOL is ok on those planets but sucks hydrazene fuel like crazy and landing the damn thing is sometimes impossible because the terrain isn't level. 1 hydrazene for the vtol gets you 1/4 of the way across a planet, 3 hydrazene gets you from planet to planet 12 times, how does that make sense.

The automatic extractors bug out all the time. You place it on a resource location and its a huge node so the green bar is basically maxed out, after a container or two of goods it stops working and you have to pick it up and put it back down again.

The train system needs more options too like being able to select what station to send the train to, by default the train will just go forward or backwards based on the pathway and junction positions. You can automate the stations to call for a train when certain sensors are tripped but if you are just out and about and you want to send your train back to the main station to get unloaded there is no way to do that except using a gateway to teleport back to home base and recall the closest train, but the closest train might not be the train you want and there isn't a way to select a train or name them or anything.

Bottom line is the game is good but in the long run the flaws start to add up and get annoying.

NICE
