Excellent, will have a look, thanks.

The "Economy Guide" and "Ship editor Guide" videos are available with subtitles.
Shame that the "GUI Guide" video is not available with subtitles.
For players for whom English is not the first language, it is not easy.

Hmm it is probably because the microphone volume is too low in that video. Sorry. I will make a new one for that as soon as I can with better audio

Thank you, after several tries, I was able to successfully complete the tutorial, but I do not yet master all the available options, I will continue to train.
I had a difuculty completing the mission ask to use the ASDW function (I can't remember the order) because I don't use a QWERTY keyboard, I succeeded in the mission by accidentally pressing the directional keys, there I made the connection with the QSDZ keys on my keyboard.
The game is still in development, but I find it very enjoyable and fun.

Thank you for your kind words! I will add 'key rebinding' to my todo list. But its probably going to be at like halfway up the list ^^

I've added a short jump beacon guide: https://youtu.be/1KLX-mM2TrI

Added building placement guide:

I will find time to watch those videos at some future point. Just tried the tutorial, and despite some bullet-point tips, I was unable to competently place any structures. All the while - to rub salt in a tutorial wound - the enemy was ably building up a storm in the distance. :O

You should have a lead-you-by-the-nose participatory tutorial in a simple mock-up scenario. Nobody wants to try and fumble about in an introductory fashion just to get hammered by an enemy... that's a Hell of a way to attempt your game.

Hi Warlok,

The AI is not supposed to build any ships in the tutorial. Just some static defences you can kill once you're ready for it. The AI also shouldnt expand nor make new things. So there's plenty of time to test things out. If that isnt the case however the tutorial is bugged. I'll leave it run while I go take a shower now and i'll confirm by the time I get back if that's the case or not.

Building placement takes some practice. The easiest way to do it is to just alt+leftclick a friendly structure or an asteroid. Then when you click on a building in the build menu and click a building there it will be at the exact same height as whatever it is you clicked right before it. This makes placing thigns at the same level very easy. Setting height takes some getting used to though, but hopefully the vertical line can help there.

That said it is 3D space of course. The building placement system already had like 10 overhauls. This is exactly why most game developers just stick to a 2D plane. But I really wanted 3D and its a passion project of mine, so even though I"m not the best programmer there is i still feel confident most people will be able to place buildings at least roughly where they want em ^^

Hi, so elevation is key? I fiddled with that some, but I'm not sure why I could not place a structure down in an inefficient position!

Will fiddle additionally, later. :)

(thanks for the response)

You're welcome! Some extra info: when placing a building you need to place it near a Surveyor OR a friendly structure. You'll see a white circle basically with a rough range indicator. You cant place outside of it (the building will turn red). You also cant place too close to other structures or through other ships obviously (then it will also turn red). Good luck! Oh and if you want realtime help feel free to check the discord as well. I might be hard to reach until friday because i have to do some stuff for my other job ^^. But I'll try to reply as soon as i can should you have more questions :D

Perhaps having these instructions in-game in the Tutorial, as this is usually the place to put them. Also creating a Tutorial that actually works would be a fantastic start. I'm just sat round doing nothing, I'm not able to build anything, not sure if I'm meant to move or even how I would do that.....literally very bag tutorial that definitely needs working on.

If I could I'd leave a bad review but even that seems to be off.

My apologies. Not only the tutorial but everything got broken with a previous update. It should now be fixed though!

If not, could you please let me know either here or on the discord? That way I can help you if you're still stuck.

Unfortunately these issues came up while I'm on vacation with my mother for 2 weeks. Actually I'm still in vacation but I wanted to reply to you anyway so here we are xd
