As A Day One Player, I Hope Frontiers Does Something About Exploration and the Procgen
I was originally sold on the game when it was first announced by the very first trailer that came out showing those awesome alien worlds and all of the cool creatures and landscapes. I’ve been around for all the updates, and while they have added much needed missing things to the game and things that go along with the original vision for it, I feel that if Frontiers doesn’t include updates to the procgen or anything that makes exploration worthwhile then it’s not the update for me, sadly 😐 I don’t play multiplayer and I honestly don’t care for base building. The whole reason why I got the game years ago was to explore cool looking alien worlds and see crazy creatures. They’ve left the procgen aspect of the game relatively untouched because at the moment everything you see are just variations on a theme and the procgen only comes up with so many things and I think they’ve been holding it back instead of truly letting it go wild. The same assets are constantly being used over and over and seeing the same types of creatures and same types of landscapes honestly gets tiresome 😞 The game might have a ludicrous amount of planets, but in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter if they all end up looking alike just with slight differences here and there. I want exploration to feel new and exciting, where planets have unique POIs for people to discover and you also see unique creatures that don’t look like the same ones everyone else is seeing. Every ice planet, toxic planet, hot planet etc. all end up having the same kind of landscape and flora/fauna and it gets predictable knowing what’s going to be on them. I know a lot of people talk about it, but I just wanted to get my thoughts off of my chest as well. The game is great, and I love all of the free updates they’ve added, but for us explorers I feel there’s something left to be desired.
