I’m convinced that this Subreddit is run by Hello Games and Sean Murray. It’s run way to well to be created and run by anyone else.

The title may seem odd at a first glance, so let me explain.

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love all the latest updates, and the new features are wonderful, and often include minor Quality-Of-Life (QOL)/Optimization updates of their own.

But I’m talking about an entire update on the same scale as the other new content updates, dedicated to just QOL updates alone. No new content persay, just improving and fixing/optimizing what we already have.

Some examples that come to my mind (I’ll edit this list with more as I think of them):

• Addressing bugs that have been in the game for a long time over several updates that haven’t been addressed yet. (Patchy grass rendering bugs on lush planets, Derelect Freighter teleporter issues, crashing issues with freighters, etc). Especially when it comes to quest bugs.
• Improvements to the user interface on both PC and Consoles.
• Additional options for PC players to remap hotkeys
• Rebalancing certain economic parts of the game to account for all the newest features added in over the past several content updates.
• Additional helpful features for the discoveries tab, such as a built-in search option to search and sort by name, system type, discovery date, system contents, etc.

Things like that. Things all about improving the things already in the game itself, while also creating a stronger foundation for future updates. A QOL/Optimization update would highly benefit long-term and frequent players. It’s especially important so that smaller bugs don’t add up over a long period of frequent content updates.

So yeah, Hello Games, if you’re reading this, I’d personally love an update like this where the focus is 100% on polishing everything released so far, and addressing minor issues and minor bugs that have been around for a while now. Minor bugs like these have been adding up, and will only cause potential problems for future updates with new content, so let’s (Gek)nip them in the bud, and the sooner the better. 🙂

This is just my two cents though. What do you guys think? Would you like to see a pure QOL/Optimization update like this?

Ever since we got the ocean update it was great, but with some base ideas and opening my eyes the oceans suck. First of all there ridiculously shallow if your going to make a specific excoraft for being underwater give it purpose because everybody can just buy 1 or 2 S class oxygen upgrades and you completely defeat the reason for having the nautilon thats why hello games should make the oceans vastly deeper to give better places to build bases and to give the nautilon purpose.

Secondly improve the wildlife and plants underwater every time I for some reason go into the oceans of a random planet I always see the same godamn stone or prism underwater I know this happens on land and yes its annoying to see the same animal or rock all the time. For the wildlife I recommend hello games take a look at some animals from barotrauma or subnautica for the simple reason of how big and vast the creatures are but also because the creatures of both of these animals give a sense of genuine fear and to not go close to said creature but in nms jellyfish simply dont cut it.

I think another reason to add this is to think of the possibilities of having long forgotten sentinel archives or crashed freighters in a pitch black while a creature roars in the distance, mabey adding another exocraft for exploring the deep meanwhile the nautalon is designed for shallow operations.

Anyways that’s what I think could be tweaked or added in an update that I think lots of base builders and players would greatly enjoy what do you guys think?
