IMHO I was sorta just updating my previous suggestions to match the current game direction. It's likely the last I'll do it, but the new gas system just change so much of the dynamic I felt it needed to be done. Also, I posted it so close to the most recent past update.

You could add Kevlar to the list. It would be good to keep this a running list with everything in one place. If a may suggest title it so it can easily found. like "Game Changer wish list", "Engineering Change Request", "Game Functionality request" Should be added: Mini smelter should be added. Diamond coated drill head. Kevlar should be added as a suit defense Uranium could also be added COBOLT could be added: Cobalt, like iron, can be magnetized and so is used to make magnets. It is alloyed with aluminium and nickel to make particularly powerful magnets. - New collection tool Other alloys of cobalt are used in jet turbines and gas turbine generators, where high-temperature strength is important. - New engine parts Cobalt metal is sometimes used in electroplating because of its attractive appearance, hardness and resistance to corrosion. - New suit safety item The blue color would be interesting to look at Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wedge Posted September 19, 2018 The only issue is I can’t edit topics after a certain time. Also, to keep posting updated versions too often might be considered spam. I’d have to ask a mod what would be acceptable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin cela Posted September 19, 2018 I like your ideas man they're awesome i hope many things like this are added in the next update or in the one after that . I want to have much more things to operate with , because its just to limited there are only devices to make resources and devices to help you grind resources faster nothing more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wanted to make suggestions that added depth to game-play by providing separate options. The narrow selection of widgets mean there is little trade-off to adding only oxygen tanks and work lights. Filters are nice, but they are a large resource draw, and constant bother to make. Players use backpack power anyways to make Filters in the field. Adding a high-cost, permanent, but power reliant solution (Scrubber) seems like not just an upgrade, but change of pace. Perhaps someone wants to trade off oxygen for better safety - so they go for a Dampener. Of course, it's a powerful life-saver, so making one requires the player to first research/make the Chemistry Lab. Astroneers have to learn important lessons, like not jumping from great heights at will, but once they finally get a Dampener, falls are not such a big deal. It acts as a relief to constant danger - that seems to linger even in the late game. It is not immune, but the option to jump down for longer falls will reward players that stuck it out and invested time and resources.

Yeah i totally agree but i was thinking because the Dampener is a 1 material cost item because its for widget slot maybe it could have a durability which would be like maybe 5 times the health of the player and with every damage it takes it lowers a bar or just like the filters or maybe looks more broken and its turned into debris after used up completely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
