I am not seeing much like this. The game is running and looking better than it ever has. Item overlaps are still the biggest issue I see. Even load times are fast and my save is starting to get larger.
What have you been seeing?
For me it's a lot of misaligned textures, creature issues and lots of other small stuff.
The bio burners really bother me as the leaves and smoke effect comes outside the hitbox. It looks like the leaves are falling on the ground in front rather then inside the burner and the smoke clearly comes from a point above it. I dunno why but this really irks me.
The pipe colors are messed up with half the indicator being cut off by z fighting
I've seen the creatures fall through the world or float above it. Having them pop in when your going to fast in the Exploring is annoying as you can slam into them or think a area is safe and jump out only to be surrounded by hogs or spitters.
Issues with water extractor placement where sometimes you can place them on dry land and they still work. I've "fallen" through the water numerous times to land on the game floor and can walk around and even build things underneath the water layer.
Really it's just lots of small things that play-testing should have caught.
Now to be clear I'm still having a blast, the game runs smooth and loads fast. The tweaks to the graphics are nice as well as all the QoL fixes. Over all it's still a 9/10 game for me. I just think that since it was in the oven for what..8 years? They could have take a week or two more to smooth out all these little things.
On the plus side I got my tier 4 alternates at long last. I found a good trick is to just research all the hard drives at once but not to select any recipes as if they're listed on the machine they are withdrawn from the pool of choice. So keep the bad recipes sitting on the MAM until you get what you want then re-roll the shitty ones.
I'm about to start my first turbo fuel power set up and I finally got my first alien tech building up and running, the power expander. But fuck me finding all those Sommersloops to build it was a massive PITA but still well worth it. 500MW + a flat 10% power boost makes them a necessity in your early game. I'm a little sad that I'm already into turbo fuel at only 50 hours. I'm just ripping through the early tiers a bit too fast I feel which kills some of the fun. I just know the set up and where everything is so the logistics set up went way faster then I planned.
If you don't hear back from me in a few days send someone to check my condo as I'm probably lost in my soon to be constructed recycled rubber/plastic, 140 refinery build and need to be rescued.
