Then again, since there's been no word at all... Lets hope Squad has some decent documentation on all these core systems now that the architects have moved on.

No, and there's no indication that it's wrong to default to lowest. If you keep complaining, maybe they'll default it to the middle like they did with throttle, so nobody will be happy.

Right now it is causing issues with users not knowing why parts can not be scaled up without going through updates first in Sandbox. The whole point of sandbox is not to have to go through any kind of progression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't even seem worth bringing attention to. You know where the radio button is in the game settings when you start a new game obviously. So why nit-pick what is set as on by default? You can easily turn it on, and obviously you know to look for it... 1 hour ago, klgraham1013 said: The infamous "I'm not having problems so it must be you" response.

Right now it is causing issues with users not knowing why parts can not be scaled up without going through updates first in Sandbox. The whole point of sandbox is not to have to go through any kind of progression. Sounds to me like the actual issue is that users don't know to go look through the settings when they create a new game, not which options are on by default. There are CommNet options that are off by default as well as advanced tweakables, etc. Users not knowing to check settings when they create a game is the issue, but how do you suggest fixing that? A guided wizard for new game creation? (might be ok) Or should people learn to be a bit more detail oriented and actually look through things and learn how they work? (kinda like, you know, most video games, your coffee maker, your phone, your car, etc.) Seems to me that is the actual solution, rather than getting into some debate to determine which options should be on and off by default, which would end up in the obvious state of "there is no single arrangement that makes everyone happy".

RentedTritium Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 In this version my game locks up every 6th second. Probably it's a mod checking something inappropriately though since it seems like I'm the only one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other variables are required and yet here we are with a thread full of people having their sausage opinions on how they imagine the sausage industry must work. That's a variable too. You bought a sausage and here it is. It's a sausage. It matches the pictures they showed you and it fits in your mouth. You're the one adding baggage that isn't anything.

I've worked on many enterprise software products and video games back in the late '90s and early '00s; development is difficult and time consuming - I agree. What liquides me off is the lack of communication by Flying Tiger Entertainment (KSP console port studio). SQUAD is doing their best to keep the quality of releases up, but, again, communication is key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you that I don't want to imply the devs are not up to the task. I don't believe that is the case. I just mean that it's reasonable to believe it will take some significant time to understand systems they've never looked at before enough to be able to troubleshoot and fix bugs within those systems. We know that major sections of code underwent a cleanup/optimization/documentation pass during the build of 1.2. It's likely that the departed devs worked on the PQS system in that process, so I share your hope that decent documentation exists. 9 hours ago, klgraham1013 said: Turns out you should try to hold on to your best talent until the project is actually finished. I totally agree with this line of thinking, but there's no way to know for sure why people have gone separate ways. Squad may have ended employment or contracts, but it's just as likely that a better opportunity or personal reasons pulled the most experienced devs away. So you should try to hold onto talent, but sometimes you just aren't able to do so. 8 hours ago, RentedTritium said: Man this thread is just full of people who have never worked on large software projects. As is the company developing this game we all love so much, from the top all the way down. I believe we've been introduced to only one new hire who has prior experience working on video games. This is in no way a criticism of the devs or their abilities; it's just an observation of the state of things. Squad in it's current state hasn't had the opportunity to show off it's capability. It's only my opinion, but I feel the current staff have a lot to prove given what's already been accomplished. I don't mean this in a bad way; I truly hope that they're even more capable then what we've seen before, but only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are on Windows you can use one of the patches from the download area in the store to apply an update without a complete reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstah Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Working just fine on my computer, all my mods seem to be A-OK And having the custom action for collecting science fixed was a major boon. I hope they fix the terrain seams soon, I'd never been a rover guy before but some mod combinations I started using have offered me incentives...
