HeyYou Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 Gas vents are ALL OVER every planet/moon and every single biome. Super immersion-breaking. Would love to see these removed or majorly toned down.Or a way to 'cap' them, and harvest whatever resource they happen to be spewing. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niston Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 What I find simply laughable is the fact that noble gas vents count as "corrosive".Someone clearly did not pay attention in high school and then got hired by Beth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zanity Posted October 7, 2023 Share Posted October 7, 2023 What I find simply laughable is the fact that noble gas vents count as "corrosive".Someone clearly did not pay attention in high school and then got hired by Beth.Absolutely, but when I was a kid I read a lot of SF. 90% of the authors did not know the difference between planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies and the universe. For every Asimov, there were a ton of chancers who wrote in the genre merely because it was profitable, and believed readers of the same to be simple-minded morons who enjoyed the 'funny' big words and strange situations. Even today, most TV/film SF treats galaxy and universe as interchangeable. You only need an IQ in double digits to know otherwise. Personally I now agree that most people drawn to SF are scientific illiterates who merely enjoy the 'funny' words and strange situations- and then the ability to go to events where they can cosplay. The adoration of the utterly atrocious remake of Lynch's very disappointing adaptation of the novel Dune illustrates this perfectly. Present day Beth, minus the genius talent behind Fallout 3 and Skyrim, is a very cynical company. In this regard, it has similar opinions of its customer base as all big publishers do. Fools that exist to be milked with any old codswallop. Todd would reply "why be accurate- what does that get you? And anyway the 'wrong' type of employee would spot the mistake, and we most certainly don't hire such people" But I would remind everyone that Steam has created a wonderful marketplace for every type and form of 'indy' game- most of which are crafted with the greatest respect of the potential customer. With their tiny dev teams, hundreds of times smaller than at Beth, they are somewhat limited in scope, but a lot less than one might have anticipated. Valheim, for instance, even for a lone player, gives one an utterly mind blowing open world experience. Beth's advantage- paying for hundreds of thousands of lines of voiced dialogue, vanishes with AI. The things that used to take time, the dull-witted work of a massive team, and a lot of money, can now be done with AI in the service of a small team with a very modest budget. AI can even generate all the CORRECT scientific ideas for the game world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And lets also try to ignore the fact that in order for the spacesuit to sustain life, it needs to be a closed system but somehow standing near a gas vent can damage your lungs it just works!!!!
