Thereby you have most of the camera keys in one location (WASD, Q/E for left/right turn, 2/3 for tilt up/down). I am kind of missing keys that’d allow me to move up and down (along the Y axis) in Design mode. For now I accomplish this by zooming out and moving the station.
Stability: You have my full sympathy with figuring this out. I totally understand it’s difficult to accomplish. Take your time and do it right.
Disappearing hab: Zoom out till the the POV is noticeably outside the herb, tilt camera up/down. Hab disappears across edge of screen.
Keyboard: I’m using QWERTZ (german, Mac), which places symbols and such differently due to a couple more letter (Umlauts). Brackets are entered with SHIFT+8/9, ALT+5/6, ALT+8/9.
Forum: Not to tempt you, but the forums I usually frequent have a button/link that lets one view their subscribed threads. A quick google search revealed its MyBB version is in the User CP (here’s a link to one’s own subscribed threads). It’s useful when dealing with many threads one likes to have an eye on, but at the same time doesn’t want their inbox clogged. So for what it’s worth, I’m satisfied with having found that link *shoves it into bookmarks*
People count: Please, I’d rather you deal with the other issues first before dealing with cosmetics
I think I already mentioned the lack of incentive for progression? It’s partially and somewhat unusually integrated in the projects/tech tree, which I am rather impressed by. That whole thing is a unique approach, at least by my experience.
A… well, I don’t know how to describe it. I’d call it issue, except maybe it’s a feature? Regardless, I’ll paint you a picture:
I have a small LEO colony. Cylinder, 70m radius, 3.5 rpm or something like that. Makes some inhabitants a bit woozy, but that’s fine with me. What gives me fits is the wildly fluctuating CO2. It goes from 0.000% to 1.243% in the span of a day, and the grass consequently browns regularly (which the population doesn’t like). So… what do? Another atmoreg doesn’t help.
Incidentally, the information for buildings is, well, too sparse in my opinion. For instance, I don’t know how much volume one atmoreg can reliably provide with or scrub of CO2.
