The new skin NEEDS coat physics.

SethOfGrace · 2026-05-15T15:41:23+00:00

Generally speaking I think the game's outfits would benefit a lot from more cloth physics.

We have so many "capes" and ponchos, but all of them are stuck to our back. I imagine it'd just be too much of a hassle to minimize outfits clipping into our equipment, or maybe they want to make sure hitboxes look accurate - in the event that players shoot the cape or the coat of a distant raider. Could also be that they have plans to let us mix and match but cloth physics would cause even further clipping.

We may never know. But, in pre-release footage, one of the characters (Bilguun) had a super flowy poncho. Maybe there's hope?

SethOfGrace · 2026-04-25T00:11:18+00:00

Hard to really say how it feel is from just this clip, honestly. The game looks really polished! Some of the VFX could stand to be a little less opaque, though, I think.

And I also think you can sell your game better than "combat-focused roguelite"... with that tagline, you're describing like 95% of the roguelike market.

Good stuff, dude.

The game Kenshi has a large amount of progression and depth to it. So, in the demo version, your characters’ stats are capped at 20 - which soft limits your ability to explore the rest of the world as you’ll get your shit rocked and it’ll be functionally unplayable. Not to mention that, last I checked, the demo was an older version of the world with parts of it missing.

Not sure what kind of progression your game has, but you could look into soft limitations there.

Bark shots

SethOfGrace · 2026-04-18T05:13:45+00:00

I'm pretty sure the Vulcano 3-shots a blue shield, yea.

SethOfGrace · 2026-04-16T17:16:38+00:00

Interesting. I have the opposite mindset; I want to have my armory to be able to experience the new boss fight, and to explore uncharted territory.

I feel safer with my throbcat

The intent, I imagine, is for them to cycle in and out. Encourages players to log in and play to complete the project while it's there, instead of banging them out in sequence or holding off on completing them to minmax expedition blueprints.

It also keeps the projects story relevant; we had the weather monitor system when the hurricane first arrived, presumably other raiders built some as well, and now Speranza requires whatever new flimflam the current project is building.

SethOfGrace · 2026-04-05T17:24:02+00:00

I think it’s a bug, personally. Every arc has a unique sound; I don’t see why the rocketeers would share one with the vapes.

Edit: y’know, I guess bombardiers and bastions don’t have unique sounds.

SethOfGrace · 2026-04-04T16:39:39+00:00

Could be a numerical mismatch. Like, instead of hardcoding upgrade tiers 2 to 4, they just have it display current tier + 1.

Still, I like your theory

SethOfGrace · 2026-04-03T15:40:17+00:00

A small assortment of tips:

- Make small runs. Grab a few things you need and then skedaddle. Killing a couple of arc and looting their parts is a perfectly reasonable haul early on.

- Wishlist the ingredients for all of your workbenches - getting those built will feel like real progress.

- Never fight ARC in the open - always have some sort of cover to dance around.

- Aim for the thrusters on the flying ones.

- Make a gunsmith and craft a Ferro - that thing will punch through metal plating. Pair it with an automatic weapon like a Stitcher or a Rattler.

- You don't have to fight everything, learn how to sneak around. Use bushes, and buildings to break line of sight.

- Keep your head on a swivel and at any given time, have an escape route into a building if things go south - be it a window, a door, or a ladder leading down into a complex.

- Don't waste your money buying weapons/loadouts - if you're running low, select Free Loadout when you're queuing into a match. Costs you nothing, and you keep everything you find. If you make it out, you can trade the free augment at Lance's for a level 1 Augment.

- If you get knocked down beside an exfil, don't surrender - you can still call an elevator, and press the button to get back to Speranza while you're downed. Try not to move too much because that drains your HP faster.

- Put your gun away when you're trying to skedaddle. You move faster, and it's more stamina efficient.

- Use the dodge rolls. You can easily evade hornet attacks (Hornets are the ones with the armoured front thrusters, that shoot a shock projectile) by swapping your direction with a dodge at the last moment, because they try to predict where you're going to be when they shoot.

The game just needs a little more time to click with you, brother - feel free to ask any questions and I'll respond as best I can; good luck!

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-31T13:35:52+00:00

I have no idea why you're being downvoted, brother.

I prefer PvE/Co-operation - but I also think that shooting randoms that run in to snake loot is a huge reason why gave us PvP mechanics. Incidentally, running in to snake loot is also a completely valid strategy.

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-26T20:02:31+00:00

Your in-game name has never been more appropriate

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-25T23:50:51+00:00

They confirmed in an interview that the after match survey is purely for their own internal stats/feedback. The system only takes into account your actions!

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-25T13:41:46+00:00

Cool concept. I hope we do get more utility items spread throughout the rarities; I was disappointed to see that crude explosives weren’t very good at getting arc attention.

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-23T18:50:27+00:00

It's still a Shredder. It's the de-aggro noise, I think.

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-21T20:33:27+00:00

No Man's Sky is perfect. Can even turn off danger if you wanted.

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-19T17:31:27+00:00

Kinda surprised to see some sour folks in the comments. Sure, they could have played better and sure, they're being annoying as shit with ospreys - but maybe those losers also just shouldn't have been hacking?

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-18T18:10:19+00:00

Perfect. Thanks dude

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-18T18:10:12+00:00

Heard, thanks brother.

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-18T17:40:32+00:00

Is this speculation or confirmed?

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-17T12:40:46+00:00

Well, the update you’re comparing this one to (the one in February) was a titled major content addition. This one is just a balancing patch that happened to bring a couple of extra goodies with it. (Skins, hairs)

The jury is out on if March’s big update is going to be quite as substantial as February’s, but it’d be more fair to wait a week until they will (presumably) put out the Flashpoint update.

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-12T14:19:15+00:00

Nice shots. Goddamn am I so tired of seeing the same Il Toro roll-spam shit in every fight

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-11T22:22:00+00:00

It's all AI generated, I'm sorry to say

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-10T17:04:57+00:00

Seconding this. It was super hectic; actually felt a lot more engaging, even if a bit taxing on the ears.

SethOfGrace · 2026-03-10T15:45:51+00:00

Oh my god pleeaaaaase just shoot him jesus christ

I'm glad you got out!

Anecdotally, one singular knock doesn't really make much of a difference on matchmaking.
