NMS has proven it can be a game with the 1.3 update.. Or so I thought. These pitfalls landed me in a pretty sh**ty position. It really depends if HelloGames is paying attention or even testing their own game. So here's the scoop.
Hydroponics trays are bugged. They need refueling randomly if you leave the planet, they need refueling if you move your freighter or reloading a save on a freighter. Many plants take real time hours to grow and the only stopgap to avoiding this kind of misery of resetting trays is building and using biodomes which also take a lot of resources to build with offering a fraction of the the harvest depending on base builds... And it doesn't look like HG even knows this issue exist despite there being reports of it here and there. To the players that farm and use these along with cuboid rooms, I feel your pain. We need a fix right now...
Freighters are a glorified ship garage at this point. Farming applications with space saving base construction techniques are pointless as explained above. There is also a nasty bug to where you first purchase a freighter and warp it to another and reload a save system will change it's paint scheme entirely. Since this game has no ship customization beyond slots and mods, you could end up stuck with something very undesireable looking. After all that. It gets worse when you add in the fact you cannot afford these things on chump change, they cost an upward of 80+ million credits (Units) and it will drive you insane trying to grind for one with any known method of gaining units outside of save game editors and fan mods.
Ghost Multiplayer: I wanted to experience it. Hell, I even convinced my cousin to get it on the same platform in fear of no crossplatform play in the future. But for some reason Gog doesn't have it? It's been 12 days and nothing is happening. Is this regret I feel from canceling my preorder on Steam last year? I don't want to rebuy this game for the sake of gaining a feature that was lost. But damnit Gog, get on the horn with Sean Murry right now and get that bearded desk jockey to work with you. Get something going before I completely lose my patience.
Sorry, long grinds can make me feel this way. I was set and ready to do some long voyages in NMS but the problems just kept piling up. I know a forum isn't a place for something a therapist can help with. But I want to know if anyone else has had the has had any similar setbacks and feelings with NMS lately?
