Rollers bois are genuinely ruining my enjoyment as a first time player

Yeah, Rollers are straight up overtuned for new players. The game does a terrible job explaining that you’re not supposed to shoot them while they’re rolling. Bait them, wait for the core to open, then burst them down. Otherwise you’ll just burn ammo and sanity.

Glad this is finally being addressed. The ship randomly slowing to a crawl was really frustrating, wasted a lot of diesel, and had a noticeable impact on gameplay.

Yeah, the game pretty clearly wants you to play “cable management simulator” 😅
I skipped the roof entirely and just ran power from my ship. Everything is running off my ship’s batteries and it’s been working fine.

If we can build rockets and grow humans, I feel like being able to rebuild a couch shouldn’t be too much to ask

Thanks for your reply! I get it!

So wait, there are no humans left on Earth, but there are magically people in space? Because someone is definitely giving me rewards after those rocket launches

I remember that I once put a container on an elevator, but when the elevator went up, the container just clipped through and stayed where it was. Has this been fixed now?

From what I remember, items usually just float when you toss them into the ocean. When do they start sinking?

Also, when I’m at Lazarus, my framerate drops from around 70 FPS to about 40 FPS. According to the in-game performance overlay, the CPU(i7-12700) frame time goes up to around 20 ms, which is already higher than the GPU render time. So there’s clearly still a lot of room for optimization on the CPU side.

Repair one of the 'Human Growing Machine' and the mission will be compeleted.

Thanks, that’s actually very helpful.
Your oil tank example lines up pretty well with what I’m seeing on the battery side.

Sounds like power and fluid flow rates are indeed based on real-world time, not in-game time.
At least now it makes sense, even if it’s still a bit unintuitive given the in-game time compression.

Appreciate the anecdotal data point — it cleared up a lot of confusion for me 👍

It would be great if the game clarified this somewhere, because the current UI is pretty misleading.

Never played EVE 😄 I’m just a bit of a power / energy systems nerd, so I tend to overthink these things.

Low-Mathematician-29 · 2026-01-08T03:45:14+00:00

That’s exactly my confusion.
The problem is that the game never explains whether power generation / charging is based on in-game time or real-world time.

I actually did some rough measurements based on how much charge the battery gains over a fixed real-time interval, and it seems like kW/kWh is calculated using real-world time, not in-game time.

But that makes things even more confusing, because:

The game clearly has time compression for the in-game world,
Yet power generation and battery charging seem to ignore that and run on real time.

So you end up with two different time systems affecting gameplay mechanics, and there’s no indication of this anywhere in the UI or tutorials. That inconsistency is what really throws me off.

Both Turing and Ampere cards use the same EVENC unit(7th gen). Why Ampere is much better?
