Raptor: for the clicking thing, it looks like the ghostly walls get in the way. It seemed like when you rotated the camera so the walls weren't in the way, you could click on the objects for the connections.

This a very promising game. My curiosity is tickled. I love how the details shows how much the devs love to develope it.

[@achtsekundenfurz7876]

Just like the olden days (1990s). "If you ever do a '[Game name] 3', it must be in space." Just like the 2nd part used to run on the same engine as the first, but with slightly changed assets and using the engine to its fullest. With a bit of luck, the changes due to the pandemic help usher in another golden age of games, with small teams and even individuals bringing fresh ideas to the table, rather than yet another [insert mainstream genre] AAA title with slightly better graphics.

I wish these types of games use the actual XYZ axis versus being a single plane.

[@Сергей-г4н2м]

I think this is an isometric 3D game. Example series ANNO. With this kind of construction in XYZ, it will be difficult to perceive the situation at the station as a whole. There are about 15-35 people at the station if I think about a possible future large base. It will be difficult to find, for example, one engineer or one technician at a multi-tiered station.

[@marczhu7473]

when you have XYZ usually people gonna keep switching plane to get things done like spacecraft crew command deck to logistic one at the bottom of the ship. If it's not well done UI people gonna trash it.

[@ghostbladev]

@@RichardPhillips1066 I'm just saying this is a space station, yeah we have the ISS that is typically horizontal on an axis but there are some compartments that go either axis. I feel that if you are staying on one plane then you might as well be a moonbase or planetary base. I feel it's just a lazy approach and space-building games.

[@milanstevic8424]

@@marczhu7473 Exactly, going full 3D is 99% a UI decision and significantly removes all burden from programmers, animators and QA, while it usually doesn't add much to the gameplay, mechanics-wise. 2D isometry is both predictable in development and easy to envision from the UX perspective. In 3D one would have to prototype first, in order to identify where the issues lie: there's an issue of things constantly occluding other things, entire rooms perhaps -- this warrants specially made shaders and perhaps wonky camera behavior -- then you'd need to show certain UI elements without being drawn on top of everything; another issue is telling player what's down (which can be quite disorienting in building games) -- spherical rotation, for example, is a constant problem in 3D unless you constantly "root" the orientation to one specific axis, which makes it feel biased or even clunky. So many problems with the UI and UX, I can think of a dozen more mathematical, engineering and even artistic reasons why going full 3D is problematic from a game dev perspective. And let's not mention what else would accounting for microgravity imply... Though I do agree that building in 3D, if done well, would add a certain layer of complexity and realism that goes hand in hand with a hard sci-fi setting, but then if it's not strictly orthogonal, that's just crazy messy. You can check out Dyson Sphere Program to see how the devs tackled many of the issues arising from a decision to go 3D. It's a different game however, catering to a different population, and this particular approach works for solid balls (planets) where radius is greater than the screen size. Still I found their approach to grid building in spherical 3D space quite innovative, although it was designed as a major compromise having to do with spherical geometry being savage because you can't possibly wrap a tile grid perfectly without introducing two singularities. That said, their verticality is quite limited, so it's hardly innovative on the front of having a true 3D builder.

[@TonkarzOfSolSystem]

It makes them thousands of times more complex. To accomplish it every other part of the game would have to be simpler.

raptor you had trouble clicking the modules because you were clicking on the walls. as for the life-support unit you need one per room. you can`t link one to 2 rooms.

I dont think the moon losing mass would do so much damage but i love the start story:) And i was second ;). (Not kiding)

[@RemoraDFC343]

Actually, our weather patterns and the ebb and flow of the tides are strongly affected by the movements of celestial bodies, particularly the moon. Any change in its mass or position would alter many things. To quote: The moon's gravity pulls at the Earth, causing predictable rises and falls in sea levels known as tides. To a much smaller extent, tides also occur in lakes, the atmosphere, and within Earth's crust. High tides are when water bulges upward, and low tides are when water drops down. High tide results on the side of the Earth nearest the moon due to gravity, and it also happens on the side farthest from the moon due to the inertia of water. Low tides occur between these two humps. The pull of the moon is also slowing the Earth's rotation, an effect known as tidal braking, which increases the length of our day by 2.3 milliseconds per century. The energy that Earth loses is picked up by the moon, increasing its distance from the Earth, which means the moon gets farther away by 1.5 inches (3.8 centimeters) annually. The moon's gravitational pull may have been key to making Earth a livable planet by moderating the degree of wobble in Earth's axial tilt, which led to a relatively stable climate over billions of years where life could flourish.

In that room you dont need 4 probe launchers only 1, also a lot of the time you are clicking on walls not buildings because of ghost mode which is why clicking is not working sometimes

Let me expand your mind a little. The world's of old wear down to their cores .the cores can be just metals like iron. So effectively you gave a giant floating metal sphere already in space. Just outside pluto are such cores. Usi g a core is not like putting buildings around it ,you carve out the structures inside. Even mounting thursters on it. It's safer can take hits. I hope your mind has expanded a little ,finally you can just bind asteroids which are even more local to our space and build inside as well.

Did you ever find a way to connect multiple oxygen and heat to one generator? If not, do you have to build multiple life support mods for each room or do they fill up overtime when connected?

[@SeedlingNL]

One ELD per room, it seems. Typically for these types of games, there's probably going to be upgrades, bigger utility rooms or even dedicated ELD rooms when you get further into the game.

[@jessiejanson1528]

This is an interesting game. and i know some streamers have said it before, but when streaming, their IQ drops by at least 50 points. Heat and oxygen were not connected for most things. When the crew entered the station they all looked like they were dying(no oxygen). when things were taken apart in the wrong order the station was left with nothing and people were just standing around dying, then talking, then dying... The reason why nothing could be clicked is because you cant click through the walls. For the devs, they need to shorten the 'connecting' time to almost nothing and combine the story and the tutorial. only thing worse then building something once, is doing it twice and this games apparently wants you to do it three times. The game also fails to properly monitor the player or the situation. Despite the player not connecting the oxygen, the crew just walk in like its no big deal and objective complete on their own despite clearly not being complete. Doing a beta/test like this is important to find these types of things.

1:00 Erm... If the moon lost mass the earth would have weaker tides not stronger, so the idea of a tidal waves makes no sense 1:19 'The gravity of the wormhole partially compensated' So it has really weak gravity then?
