… A ‘favourites’ tag for planets you want to ‘bookmark’ for return trips.

So far the only way I can feasibly mark a planet as a ‘favourite’ (or simply as a point of particular interest) is to either use a naming convention like ‘FAV_lava-planet’ when claiming it, or to place a base computer somewhere on that planet. Both methods technically work, but then I end up with a bunch of unused bases clogging up the teleporter UI.

Instead, why not add a ‘pin to favourites’ tag in the planet discoveries page?

Visit a planet you like, but don’t want to use clunky naming conventions or base computers? Just select the planet you want in the discoveries tab, and press the ‘add to favourites’ button. Then you can scroll over to the ‘favourites’ tab abd view all your most-loved planets in one convenient list, along with their teleport coordinates, or even the teleport shortcut for the nearest space station.

Five years ago I wrote this:

“I cannot wait to boot up the game and just walk in any direction, exploring. To see what’s behind that cliff, or what’s inside that deep mysterious cave. Imagine climbing a mountain during sunset and just take a break up there. Hearing the wind and see how day slowly turns into night. Seeing blinking stars appear in the nightsky. Knowing that if you want to, you can get your own spaceship and visit those stars. I’m definitely ready to lose myself in this game. Experience the feeling of being completely lost somewhere and not knowing what to come next”.

This dilemma still holds up to this day.

It’s one of those games you can play however you want. As an adult with a full-time job and family, I value the chill exploration. No need to “keep up” with anything.

With an incredible team as HG and their hard work, I can’t be anything else than grateful for what you’ve done for the game and yet alone, the community ❤️

Thank you.
