That might make sense with the siphon, actually. As to planets, you'll just have to be more careful then You could always destroy them quickly, or put up a shield around the planet you want to mine... Edited by: Freelancer11

Maybe give push pulse some sort of animation. Like a vibrating orange pulse from the center of your bot, that expands and pushes the stuff away. Currently nothing seems to happen if your not near something ... Edited by: svleur

Push pulse has new effect now - siphon will soon, as you describe.

Are there any plans for a multiplayer mode so far ? Because i think it would make things much more interesting for allot of people (including myself). does not need to be a very complicated game mode or stuff like that, just a multiplayer where you can play with friends in the same sandbox world, like we know it from the single player.

That's a fair point. I may take a look at how difficult it will be in the next few weeks. Depending on the results, it may go in earlier or later.

Well I have one instead of or costing for reaserch you need points like 1 bioform (not big ones) = 1 point and the diffrent monsters you kill the diffrent points you get like you kill 1 blue you get 1 blue point if you kill 1 big blue one you get 5 blue points so instead of ore you get points. Its really helpful for being able to reaserch and being able to get the thing you want instead of trying to find like 5 plaents to get just 1 of something cool.

The research tree costs are getting a rebalance - likely soon because it should be quite quick to do. It'll make the high level research less ridiculous in price in particular.

I think it would be a good idea to make aiming more easy, hitting things with a Laser for example from the upgreaded builder bot or the blaster bot is extremely hard because the keyboard input you can give to rotate your bot is just too rough. So i was thinking about things like lowering the rotation rate of your bot when holding spacebar. It would also be awesome to make the mining drill follow your mouse instead of manual keyboard control and also please set this mode to toggle on/off instead of having to hold the key all the time.

Not bad ideas - the drill one might not go in for a bit, but the turning will be in for the next patch, since it was an easy change

Aiming is now possible but i think it still can be improved. To make small adjustments to your angle the turning rate needs to be even lower but that would make quick movement impossible. So my idea is that the turning rate needs a little bit of time to accelerate while holding space, so that you could make tiny adjustments to your angle by tapping the key but still could spin quickly enough to keep up.

Have you considered some type of gravity in the environments? Black Holes tugging on larger mass objects? Super Nova stars?
Freelancer11	May 7 2013, 5:41pm Anchor
It's a possibility, though it'll never been for every object. Most likely only for black holes/large stars and the like.
O N L I N E ataaron	May 10 2013, 3:33pm Anchor
I agree with the black holes idea, current black holes are pretty boring. My suggestion is to make them smaller and add a radius of gravity around them. You could add gravity to stars as well but I think it would just make it harder to place the solar frames.

Would It be possible to Add a load game option to the menu when you hit escape. Also with the research tree could you make it so instead of a global cost amount make it per resource, like for example at the start of the game everything would cost 50 green, 50 yellow, 50 Red etc so then if I brought 2 upgrades for green it would then cost 150 but red would still only cost 50 red. Becouse currently after I buy alot of green (or more common upgrades) it makes it very hard to purchase other less common upgrades.
Freelancer11	May 19 2013, 9:57am Anchor
Load game is a good addition, I'll stick that in when possible. The research costs are a little more intentional though - the increase is meant to make you think about which trees are most important to you. It may still be too expensive though, I'm not sure. It's certainly be reexamined at some point though.

Alright awesome to hear, I ended up starting a new game because I screwed my tree up. Quick question however, with the Blaster Bot, I finally created a Command Module but when I create a "ship" and put the blaster bots around the outside (assuming they will auto attack mobs) they do no, I just end up using there thrusters to move my ship. I have tried messing around with the command menu I think it is (when you assign them colours) bug still they do not attack, am I missing something? By the way now that I have played it sooo much more, this is a fantastic game and I cant wait to see where it goes. Have you tried getting on steam greenlight for some more advertising because I believe your game NEEDS to be known to everyone that like space sandboxes. That said are you at all planing to add some sort of factions? like perhaps rival mining corporations, raiders, pirates etc that would feud with each other and maybe you can make alliances or treaty's with them, because as it stands all the ships I see out there just attack me on site. It would be nice to see a functional type universe (trade ships, convoys, factions warring it out etc) and being able to interact with some of them in small ways like trading, small amounts of diplomacy etc Just found it on Greenlight, nice, Voted and Favorited =D

Blaster bots currently only fight on their own when unselected (i.e. attached to a frame or planet and not under the control of a selected command frame). That might change at some point, because it's not overly obvious. Command mode (the colours) allows assigning them to number keys. When you press the appropriate number key to control them, they'll point towards your cursor and fire when you press the action key (default: lctrl) As to the rest, much of that is in the 'it would be nice' category. It depends a lot on time and popularity. If I was doing this full time, most likely that'd be a direction I went in. Thanks for the vote!

Hey, I Had another idea. It would be really cool is to have hotkeys for the entire buy menu which are obviously displayed next to the frames/bots/abilities so you won't have to click the icons for every single item, it would make building big things at least 3 times faster.
