QOL update Ideas for Dev's
So I have played Planet Crafter from the demo release and I was thinking maybe
we could have something to work for besides Terra forming over and over, May
be we could have the task to discover ancient technology parts that when
combined together would allow us to recreate a Asteroid Planetary Defence Shield
at the point we no longer need the elements they deposit as we already are mining
them our selves.

Maybe we could have actual Deposits like in Satisfactory instead of just putting an
ore-miner just on the ground.

Also other New Tech such as a Skiff Bike like in Star Wars with storage that would
be way better than the Vehicle we have now.

Maybe we could have a new terrain manipulator tool so we could remove unwanted
rock formations that block access to building in that spot.


Just a couple of Ideas to keep the interest in the game for long time players
other than just Terra-forming over and over.

Sounds really great, was thinking the same.

How about the ability so trade smart fabric for tokens? Fabric is 8, Circuit board is 25, Recipe is 2 fabric and 1 circuit board, so 41, plus assembly say 45, and make smart fabric take a little longer (not insanely) to craft in autocrafters? I can only make so much furniture myself lol.

Also, ability to turn on/off drone display on map after launching the rocket, cause I can't see my base through the mass of drones showing bigger than my small compartments...

An airlock at entryways for underwater and unbreatheable air times? I'm lost on how these compartments are airtight, yet not waterproof..including rain 4 levels down.

Ability to add wheat and cocoa seeds to drone sort *pretty please* I've even tried it with them in my inventory and one in the chest already.

We also need for steam to add the ability for us to choose whether to add an update or not - some of those updates being requested would be something I would not want added; it would be better if we could choose.

I've had more than one favourite game lost due to unwanted updates being added that I had no choice but to accept - updates are fine, but when they change the way the game is played we should have the ability to choose whether to add them or not, rather than have our games turned into something unplayable the way we prefer.

Some of the games I 'lost' this way had literally thousands of hours in, and I still miss them... and I am not alone, that's why there's currently a court case going on, trying to get steam to allow us to choose whether to update or not, depending on what's included. I for one think it's a great idea that should have been available all along...

First, that's not Steam's choice. Second, it's possible to do, but requires you to launch the game some other way. (e.g. I've set my skyrim to only update when I launch the game, then I always launch the script extender, via Vortex) Third, if this DID happen, you understand the devs would state "We only support the most recent update of the game. If you have an issue with a previous version, good luck figuring it out on your own"

As far as I'm concerned, anybody who wants to update software I paid for should be offering me the choice of if I want any update or not, with the consequences of my choice being on me - of course. Given that all pertinent details were stated before the update is rolled out and the choice made.

When you say "that's not steam's choice," it says to me that perhaps you know more about it than I do - all I know is there isn't options I would like to have present in the interface - whyever they are not there, whether it's on steam or thoughtless development or companies being persnickety, I don't know - I just know that as time goes on the results leave me with less and less workable options that would allow me to tailor my games to my choice,

You don't want to know what I've been through over some games, including skyrim - between what will or won't run on what, and requirements that weren't fully outlined in software descriptions, add-ons that weren't mentioned, etc., more often than not it's "good luck figuring it out on your own" anyways... quite a common thing these days, when passing the buck is the easiest thing to do as often as not.

These devs don't tend to do things that way, by and large, which is yet another of the things I love about their work - they have outstanding ethics, and it shows. Wish more devs would emulate them.
