Gather unknown signals from deep, silent space · By
the two mechanics that this update added and i didnt like were triangulation because i just don't understand it and the press/hold e/r one!! that's why i play on 0.82c (specifically 0.8.2c_0011) with mods personally, the tutorial got a major improvement in 0.9b, since it forces (kinda) you to learn some mechanics like throwing items to break others
nothing else, this is just an opinion
What don't you understand about the triangulation? You have to place the 3 points around a signal to form a triangle. And when scanning, the circle inside of the triangle should be bigger than the signal circle to have a higher chance of succeeding. But yeah the new controls are not liked by a lot of people, myself included.
I find it really intriguing how people dislike triangulation so much... I didn't play before the 0.9 but if they were to change the signal system in the future I think I'd just learn it again.
I assume before having the e/r press/hold system you all just used a key for each action (?), that sounds interesting, maybe they should let you switch between interaction systems.
I would agree that the update isn't the best. There seems to be too much busywork and weird cryptic unexplained stuff (that the tutotrial does not really help with) and not enough cool stuff/signal searching. Not to mention the new controls are hot garbage. Like genuinely infuriating to use.
The game has an absolutely amazing concept and i love the idea and would love to see it done well, but it seems to have got lost somewhere along the way, in my opinion (this is all just my opinion). Hopefully when it actually releases its in a far better shape.
