Galaxy types shouldn't be boring. Hear me out... [Suggestion]
There are like quadrillion systems and planets or whatever, and the variety is undestandable, both from a gameplay point of view, and a developer point of view. Because, well, making interloperzillion different biomes would both be impossible to do, and will also make it impossible for player to find a specific kind of planet. BUT... and hear me out.
We have 254 galaxies, but it's basically 4 galaxies: Normal, Dead, Harsh, and Lush.
And, ok, those 4 types are cool, but there are 250 more galaxies that are basically the same. And, I know that "reseting" worlds by modifying the planet generation algorithms ruins player bases and entire save files and stuff, I GET IT...
But, come one, why the hell did Hello Games made 254 galaxies available in an instant with an update instead of just the next 3 ones after Euclid, and waited some time until having new ideas for more galaxies? I wish I could time travel and hit them with a folded newspaper!!
We got the purple systems "recently", they were very clever by changing the status of certain systems from "ghost" to "purple", and adding their new planet types there, without breaking existing planets, very cool. But, can we do the same with galaxies?
If we want to avoid player progression loses (bases and stuff on the following 250 galaxies), what about using the negative ones?, or just add more galaxies after 254 (or 255, so it can be spared for preservation)
And I'm not talking about adding a lot of new content they have to 3D model, texture, program, implement, etc. Just... make up experimental stuff, have fun, like Minecraft's custom seeds.
Go crazy with it, turn it up to 11. Demonstrate what the game (and our computers) are capable of. Try random shit, use new galaxies as testing grounds for crazy new stuff.
Here are some ideas:
- All planets with floating islands, no matter the biome...
