Clean Planets option

[Rifz]

I would love a option to turn off scrap items, or reduce it by 95%.
Since the full release there are sCrap items everywhere, it really kills the sense of adventure exploring the unknown.
Just a few crashed ships and satellites in the beta were great.. it's too beautiful a game to have random garbage every 20 steps.

[are we there yet?]

+1

Would love to see this as well. Along with more customization in general.

I agree with you except for the above. 

Finding scrap in no way shape or form kills my sense of adventure exploring the unknown.

I enjoy finding scrap on the surface on planets, its as I go deeper underground that I find my sense of adventure and being the first person there smashed by abandoned crashed carts and deorbited satellites - at Mantel level! the amount of scrap underground should trend to 0 the deeper you go underground. Also whilst I'm OK with various scrap vehicles and platforms (to a degree), the crashed satellites really don't make sense deep underground

that scrap is for you to collect to put in your shredder

without using up resources making stuff to shred.

also if you bother to examine you may find usable items in that scrap

like batteries  seats wind turbines solar panels and

that big solar array from the crashed satellite will supply power only need some extenders.

so all you see out there id actually treasure for you to gather and use.

I would never want scrap to be taken away.

1. Just think of all the poor Astroneers that came before, leaving their goodies behind just for me😁

2. Can you think of a better way to reliably power a rover than a battery or two at the start of a new game? Coupled with a small turbine and/or small solar that you *ahem* couldn't make at the start...

3. Not at all common but I found two crashed solar arrays near my base in my latest save, one further away than the other. Can you say you would pass on 8 units of solar power straight off? I can't.

To each his own though. I get your reason, I just think there is too much to be gained from scrap and attached goodies.
