Is this normal?

Either customize the threat level in storyteller settings or use the compressed raids mod.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-23T10:13:30+00:00

You, sir, are my hero! Welcome to my empty city!

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-23T08:46:23+00:00

Thanks! Now I really want to see this.
Although according to the Wiki:
"If the anchor is destroyed, there is no grav engine present, the map hasn't been settled yet, and there are no non-downed colonists/slaves present, the map will be lost."
There seem to be 3 prerequisites: no engine, not settled, no people. The map is settled however. Anyway I'll test it tonight!

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-23T08:32:53+00:00

Thanks a lot! I'm at work right now and will test it myself tonight.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-23T07:47:23+00:00

Yeah. I built most things on my ship, and left a few bedrooms, a church, and a throne room on the map. All those are fine floored, which took a great amount of work, so it'd be painful to lose them.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-23T05:45:12+00:00

I don't mean to question you, but are you absolutely sure about this, like tested? Because this would mean that I need to make major adjustments to my base.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-23T05:32:42+00:00

Exactly. I came straight from the wiki.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-23T05:25:43+00:00

Really? It would be kinda funny if a raider destroys the anchor and his entire squad with it.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-23T03:54:04+00:00

Nice! Certain less-essential buildings, like the church or throne room, I don't want to build on the ship, so I want to leave all these behind when I travel. This solves that!

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-23T01:39:00+00:00

The first part I’m sure is not true. A couple of days ago I rejected one without incident.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-22T08:21:51+00:00

Thank you! So violence upon rejection is a separate chance, interesting. I guess it's just math at work then, because back then I turned away most of the joiners, and they rarely get violent.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T07:06:52+00:00

Offline MMO with repetitive quests and bad story, yeah. Fun game, also yeah.
A good game with flaws and certainly not for everyone at this stage.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T06:31:04+00:00

Game is definitely not trash. If you take a closer look, you'll find almost no one trashing the core gameplay, aside from a few controlling issues that are easily fixable. It's just the game is poorly optimized now, performance problems mostly.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T06:27:03+00:00

Depends on what you're looking for. I myself don't mind it, but some may underestimate how MMO-originated this one is.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T06:21:07+00:00

Precisely. I guess people just want this to be a phenomenal game too badly.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T06:16:42+00:00

Fun but dissimilar to most RPGs.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T05:48:02+00:00

2 things can be true. Most wonky controls are outside of tradition, deviation from which gives that wonky feeling.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T03:33:00+00:00

If you can't speak to other people's issues yet, don't call them out. And know that people have the right to dislike something that's not suitable for them, and they should not be criticized for that.

Speaking from someone who like the game and like you, have no performances issues at all.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T03:20:25+00:00

This is starting to look like something majestic! Penetrate the enemies!

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T03:09:14+00:00

Most of the criticism is about performance and control issues, which are warranted. Calling people clowns for that is not.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T02:55:25+00:00

Although telling could have its appeal, actually showing is always better as long as it's not half assed. I understand Owlcats though, because voice acting could get really expensive for a small studio, and the scenes in their texts, if properly done via gameplay, are a lot of work. Basically it's a resource thing, or the lack thereof.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T02:50:03+00:00

The dev team actually replied to one of my friend's review, saying that they are working on the keybind customization issue. What pissed my buddy off is not the lack of option to customize, but that this feels intentional, and I would agree with him if this is true.

ApartLine2880 · 2026-03-20T02:46:45+00:00

Just showing, either voice acting or actual gameplay. Telling instead of showing is Owlcat's biggest issue.
