We colonized the galaxy but all spaceship habs have awful combination sink/shower/toilet closets.
Not just this game. Star Citizen bathrooms are the same. And there’s nowhere to put your towel/clothes inside these things where they wouldn’t get wet, so any shower turns into a show for the rest of the crew.
The bathroom amenities on planets and settlements do look good, even some Akila City ones are fancy. Don’t know if you get those in player made outposts since I haven’t put skill points and research in that.

talking of that, its fucking bizarre theyre still using tp
like... tp is obviously worse than water even now, but why are u using tp in a fuckin space ship
also i feel like this is another weird thing - there doesnt seem to be any non-bulletproof glass. i shoot 50 cal rounds at people hiding behind glass cubicle dividers and nothing happens. its bizarre - i have yet to see a transparent object that is penetrable by gunshots lol
Toilet paper, wipes, and gloves are disposed of in water-tight bags. Solid waste in individual water-tight bags is compacted in a removable fecal storage canister. A small number of fecal canisters are returned to Earth for evaluation, but most are loaded into a cargo ship that burns up on re-entry through Earth’s atmosphere. Currently, fecal waste is not processed for water recovery, but NASA is studying this capability.
Tldr; IRL gravity/Isaac Newton is a bitch. Then, now, and forever.

I use a LOT of mods but here's a bunch I'll recommend that everyone get are: StarUI Inventory, Neutral LUT's, Compact Mission UI, Enhanced Player Healthbar & Boostbar, StarUI HUD, Richer Merchants, Stealth Overhaul, Instant Scan, Burden Me Not, Real Flashlight, Simply Faster Ladders, Better Visible Magazines, Visible Credit Stick & Digipik, some kind of Achievement enable (a few to choose from), Compact Mission UI, Helpful Activity Objectives, Increased Contraband Prices, Ship Power Allocation Fix and Plugins.txt Enabler. Some of these may need SFSE and it's address library, so it may not be optional.
If you want ones that effect leveling, experience rewards, and loot/item rewards then SFSE, Address Library for SFSE, Perk Up, Less Heinous Leveling Curve, Console Command Runner, Boss Chests Always Contain Legendaries, Leveled Mission Board Rewards, Lower Ship Registration Fee, and Skill Fixes.
I also use a makeup/face texture mod for Andreja called CRT - Andreja.
If anyone wants these in an easy to use html export from my bookmarks PM and I'll send it to you.

from a gq interview
Todd Howard is to games what Tom Cruise is to cinema. He cackles when I suggest this theory to him. Slight, boyishly handsome, sharp-jawed and tousle-haired, he has the look of classical antiquity.

see but now thats just opening the can of worms of "they grav failure proofed the toilets but then ur literally cooking shit on a normie stove in the galley", before proceeding to the existence of tp-reliant toilets on planets with no trees. how deep does this rabbithole go? does the pro-tp lobby have no shame?
im sorry the evidence points in one direction... todd doesnt believe in bidets, possibly for religious reasons. there may be more to this but we will need to get to the... bottom... of it
luckily ive been confiscating all this papery contraband for the prosecution
when the end times come they will have to come to me begging for their precious paper
also please appreciate the restraint that i said nothing about "shit breaks" im working very hard on achieving the rough maturity of a 10 year old and my mother says i'm doing tolerably well

ok i have to type some very depressing sentences pls hold on
i downloaded this game purely on a whim out of macabre curiosity and i must, tragically, report that i have been having fun
it is terrible, but the facts are the facts.
and im going to say something even more fucked up: this is the best lockpicking minigame they've had. im actually doing all of them. its fun putting the lil wigglies into the holes
also that ship ended up being the event horizon and andreja is my dead wife

ok i just found the zero g casino and had no idea it existed, rolled in with my rocket launcher shotgun and another thing i didnt think i would say:
the zero g controls are good. about 20x better than the on foot controls and a LOT better than the space ship controls - the skip boostpack letting you instantly change your direction makes you feel agile, but there's momentum and you have quite a lot of control. i went into it kinda sliding all over the place but by the end i was like "oh shit i want way more of these"
also the rocket launcher shotgun is legitimately the weapon of choice for this, its like shooting clay pigeons... with a flak cannon
i find myself really wanting a dodge button for the on foot sections, even though technically i can short hop side boost. this is definitely Videogames

I was always a little annoyed that I couldn't offer any of my companions a turn in the space magic machine, even if they all refused.

Actually Barrett can get a really cool power. My Barrett variant does, anyhow. I forget the name of the quest now, though.

as i am a firm believer in crab supremacy i am letting my ship grow like a tumour and just adding random bits
once i get class C im going to give it 8 little landing gear legs and some eye stalks and some claws
the interior is basically a one way system and is almost impossible to navigate, which is Good
particle weapons dont sound cool enough so i think im going to just cover it in railgun and autocannon turrets and float towards people menacingly yelling imprecations
also i think this is quite good shot efficiency for a shotgun: 12 in 3 shots

Almost every quest I've done has had, at some point, me scrunching up my face in confusion. Like, I can't believe the amount of things I'm just allowed to talk my way out of when I haven't invested anything into speech. This businessman that went through all the trouble to send his goons after me just ... decides to let me go? And lets me decide the fate of a thief? And actually honors that? What? Why?
And then I'm ambushed coming off that planet and I can just ... fast travel directly to the Lodge? I don't even need to do any evasion while the grav drive warms up? That doesn't feel right at all.
average speech conversation:
NPC: I won't do that
Me: FUCK YOU DO IT
NPC: No way Jose
Me: COME ON YOU FUCKING PUSSY DO IT
NPC: That is an unacceptable ask
Me: NEENER NEENER YOU HAVE A POOPY BUTT
NPC: hm you may have a point *gives me everything*

haha now im glad im not one of these people, but it would be really funny if somebody played like 40 hours of the game without realising you could press ads to make your mining beam instantly mine anything, or that you could press scan while on a planet with your mouse over an unknown marker and it would tell you what it was haha
god im glad im not somebody of such a clownish disposition that i - i mean, they - would find this out only after wasting like 5 minutes painstakingly mining caelumite
Okay time to download an ammo crafting mod, this is dumb that you can't in vanilla.
"Ammo types as mods" does not work for me in the slightest. My bullets turning into rockets out of the barrel sucks for immersion, not to mention locking weapons into certain modes of use instead of letting you switch ammo types for versatility.

I've spent some time setting up outpost networks and apparently that doesn't carry over into NG+. Apparently neither does your ship.
Yeah, it's amazing how they encourage NG+ in several ways and basically make all the outpost/ship building stuff irrelevant as none of it matters.
There really should be a mod that lets you dial home from NG+. I don't give two shits about what their justification is for why you can't go back, mechanically it's insane that you have to dump everything from your current playthrough to do NG+.

its the first time ive felt - as a british gamer - really like a game respects my culture
seein an awful lot of Facts on nexusmods rn... dangeorusly high levels of Facts... No offence.
I love running to meet a landing Fleet ship and letting the crew know their scan was wrong, the atmosphere is actually GrenadeO2

I'll be picking up a lot more inferior guns for short amounts of time going forward.
"Ammo types as mods" does not work for me in the slightest. My bullets turning into rockets out of the barrel sucks for immersion, not to mention locking weapons into certain modes of use instead of letting you switch ammo types for versatility.
The symmetry... or lack thereof on this ship is a crime against nature.
ive been making it worse and worse over time
i moved the reactor and grav drive to the left side entirely and im about to start extending it upwards
it has mismatched engines and they would make the thing spin around its axis
but i will face the god of astrophysics and walk backwards into hell (im the architect of the event horizon)
just because you can doesn't mean you should! think about the laws of spaceship fashion!

Which was around the time I lost interest in playing, whoops!
Would not recommend unless you really,really enjoy the game.
I have... its pinker now
I think I might do a ziggurat next
hey now, there's nothing wrong with pink.
there's just everything wrong with asymmetry!
and hes probably a fiddler crab ok no cruel aesthetic judgements
