![]() I will forgive a LOT with a pre-release but not stuff that should have been known by the devs going in. People are too quick to forgive people because of the "pre-release" tag. Their is absolutely no excuse for saying "we didnt know that would be a problem" when their are too many examples out there where it WAS a problem. Surviving the aftermath forum free#I will NOT give them a free pass on issues that have been around for at least a decade on every other game in the genre INCLUDING their own game, Surviving Mars like finite resources and game ending disasters. I forgave every bug in the game because its alpha, I forgive them for lack of technology and variety since its alpha, I forgive them for not having zones like the areas around wells working because its alpha. So no, I am not inclined to give them a free out with an "Alpha pre-release" excuse. This game has had a decade of dozens or even hundreds of games using almost the same mechanics to use as reference points. Games like "Banished" could use that excuse since they were essentially writing the rule book. FINITE RESOURCES DO NOT WORK IN A RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COLONY SIM! What the hecks the point in playing a game if you know there is a cap on it?Ī year from release works only if this game is truly ground breaking in its gameplay. oh I don't know.do what humans have been doing since the bronze age.MINING it! I had one metal area on my colony map remaining and MAYBE a 150 on the world map.so effectively that meteor shower just deleted my save file. At a glance I would guess it would take HUNDREDS of metal to rebuild it all, DOZENS of components and parts not to mention the forest of planks and dumps worth of plastic! It was impossible to keep my people in tools and clothes BEFORE the meteor shower thanks to metal being more valuable than life itself since there is no way to. 150 colonists with no food production, no power because that was destroyed as well. ONE single meteor shower wiped out 70% of my food production, fields, greenhouses, bug farms.the LOT! not just aimed for water wells and destroyed the ONE type of building that can help survive it all.the scrapper. Surviving the aftermath forum full#no.what this is is a full blown EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT! Imagine.an entire day of non-stop meteors just happening to ONLY hit right on your new colony.I mean seriously how unlucky do you have to be?! "Hey Bob, I think the nuclear fallout has stopped it should be safe to leave our bunker and rebuild." "Sure Fred, you know I think yer right" Fred steps outside, takes a deep, refreshing, breath of air no longer tinged with the tang of nuclear winter and looks me." "Sigh.yup Fred.back in the bunker."Ĭome on DEVS either DRASTICALLY reduce the effects or remove the Meteor shower. What I can't get and refuse to experience again is fighting to build my colony through plague, heatwaves, fallout, and storms (a lot of fun actually to manage those) just to have hours of gameplay wiped out in a SINGLE Meteor shower.IN EASY MODE!! These aren't meteor showers. I can get past the fact you need a small lake to keep your colonists from dying of dehydration.oh wait there are lakes all over the place but inexplicably your colonists never have enough water.I can EVEN get past the fact you have to populate 3/4 of your map with food producers and even THEN thanks to the fact you get a whopping 2 fish per day per dock and a couple chunks of venison to feed a colony of over 100 all your colonists ever get to eat is veggie mush. Never mind the fact that for some insane reason berries don't regrow. I can even get past the fact that if you are lucky enough to have metal show up on the world map its apparently the most dangerous thing in the world you can do.pick some metal scrap off the ground because its ALWAYS a one and done affair with your specialist getting wrecked after one attempt thanks to the 3 skulls. Make tools or build something because you cant do both. It also shows a LOT of promise! I appreciate that they promptly fixed the "stuck" colonists bug but I am done playing for now and refuse to recommend this game until they fix the Meteor Catastrophe! I can handle that there is no way to get metal late s a bad mechanic.you have a choice. Posting this here since the games forums won't let negativity hurt sales. ![]()
