Played a bit the last 2 days of this 1.1. 32gb ram gtx 970 i7 4.2ghz. The game seems to run better on one hand but then on the other at approx 2 hours in it becomes unplayable for me. Water planets hurt the most for performance.

The world generation is improved ill grant them that but the worlds still feel samely. Everything still feels "small". I think the single biome per world is really hurting it. Also id wish theyd make gravity a meaningful system as it is competely non existent in that all worlds are effectively the same.

On the plus side i did finally see creatures that were actuallly quite large but still dorky as gently caress.

I appreciate the fact that we can build up the freighter because settling on a planet seems counter intuitive to my space nomad experience.

Well the game runs super nice on a 1070gtx so no qualms there and the improved textures do look better.

But some problems still continue to persist.

1. Those loving whip plants are still everywhere (gently caress OFF WHIP PLANTS!).

2. The blue popup notification is still there with no option to turn it off [YES I KNOW I HAVE A NEW SHIP, gently caress OFF!).

3. Green Boxes and mechanical parts need to be repaired or have debris removed to get at the nanites and stuff. This is just pointless additional clicks for no reason and it is frustrating given how often these actions are done in the game.

Here's another bug: If you speak with a Specialist but dont have a base or a terminal for them, then you will get stuck in a dialogue you cannot exit out of.

They didnt show any animals so i guess they are still retarded.

Im of the belief that this type of game would really benefit from proper modding tools provided by the devs. I just dont think what they have now is enough. Be space skyrim basically.

The clouds have shadows, not sure if that is a new thing. I don't remember it before.

It seems that they added a dust effect when the ship is flying very low over land. However on the other hand the water is untouched and is not affected by a ship or anything it seems. Still the same old boring flat water texture.

Also this video confirms that the Whip things are still in the game (gently caress those things).
