If you could control this or change the setting so people could still choose to have it, that would be good I think. It's fun to make cigars and random bio husk mods, but when you die and then go to make them and joke around about it, you immediately remember, oh yeah I can't do that until I play another 5 hours. Glitches are unavoidable, especially with this physics engine, but basically the biggest glitch is when a creature (usually small) gets stuck in the hull somehow and we have to usually injure ourselves to kill it.Īs mentioned a better system should be implemented for death, it's not fun and honestly makes people on my ship want to quite with how much it pulls away from the experience. I shot the whole crew, then committed suicide before quitting to play exclusively with real people and never return. Instead of continuing, realising every time we would run out of fuel I would have to do it myself. There is an order to turn on the reactor, I spent 20 minutes telling the crew to do it through commands and ended up doing it myself. I tried to do the single-player campaign but honestly, I would rather drive screws in between my toe nails, the AI don't listen to anything outside of fix or follow which means you have to kill everything, pilot everywhere, build everything, and control the reactor all by yourself. Are these creatures even allowed on ships? We end up resetting more often than not as we really just want to have fun and not spend another 3/4 hours making wrenches just to get that Mechanical Engineering skill up.Īssistants. This was a horrible decision from the developers, please change this to losing 20 or 30 points in your top skills or something similar. You could be a level 200 in steering and it could have taken 10/15 hours of in-game time to reach that and suddenly a breach in the hull sweeps you off your feet, you die instantly from the pressure and suddenly you're back to square one at level 50 at best. The developers have put real effort in, had a vision for an interface, and a team game that works well.Īfter a recent patch, death doesn't just take away some health for a long period of time but resets your character's skills. Rather than in games like Skyrim (example) where you only get something every 20 and it takes forever and by the time you reach the end of the game you really don't need half of the random stuff you have to unlocked. I think we have almost unlocked the best oxygen tanks in the game and it's amazing to see our level meaning something. The ability to make really cool stuff and have improvements past the first iteration is awesome.
BAROTRAUMA TRAITS MODS
Mods for this game are pretty damn cool, increasing the size of ships you explore is my favourite as it also adds more enemies to random encounters, turrets, and with more to explore, comes more treasure. *As your captain runs to grab a diving suit instead of preventing the ship from plummeting* "EVERYONE BATTLE STATIONS! GET YOUR WEAPONS READY, THEY ARE BOARDING! SOME OF YOU MAY DIE BUT THAT'S A SACRIFICE I AM WILLING TO MAKE!" "I'm sure this 6 skull quest will be fine, we have taken on 1 of these things before, I'm sure it will be fine" "HOLY **** THERE ARE THINGS KILLING US IN HERE! SWIM! SWIM! SWIM AWAY!". You find an underwater palace that looks like it was made by the gods? The game gets more fun the worst things get, your medical officer has been gardening for the past couple of rounds?īOOM THE MEDICAL QUARTERS ARE ON FIRE AFTER HOURS OF GROWING EXPLOSIVE PLUMS! Simple mechanics like falling and breaking your legs on a huge ship are really funny even though it should be annoying. Every class can encapsulate a different gamer's personality. When your crew is at maximum and plans all thought through it is fun to see how far you have come as you fly through areas.Įvery Class fills an important role on the ship, except Assistant.

You feel like a real explorer with a crew to back you up and just like the character traits in the game, everyone has their own personal ticks that make the game more fun and enjoyable. Quite long Review, but if you are on the fence, give this a readīarotrauma is a great game with a well thought out design for groups of players especially.
