My main problems with exploring [Discussion]
I love exploring, even if it's simple things, like finding a crashed freighter, or a large lake.
But recently it feels like I've been to every planet already. Scanning and naming things is still semi-fun, but the exploring feels empty
A few days ago, I watched some trailers before the game released. One thing I noticed is there necassarly a huge amount of variation. It was the colors
Each planet was somewhat the same, with some differences, but the colors made each planet look drastically different
The atmosphere on each planet was hugely different, even if fauna and flora was similar
My next point is things to find.
When I go exploring, all I have to do is land once and I have seen the entire planet. Something that can fix it could be small things, like an oasis with palm trees and strange fauna in a vast desert, or a mountain range in a large savannah.
It could be big things, like biomes
It could be structures, like on the old trailers.
My last point is overall variation.
I don't mean adding new flora and fauna models, like in origins. I mean something brand new.
One of my favorite parts of origins were the new variety of land formations. It drastically changed a planets atmosphere
I would also like a new flora generator
Something along the lines of the fauna generator, a random trunk for a tree is chosen, next the texture and color, maybe some small things like mushrooms and sticks. Next the width and length, and then the branch amount. On the branches there could be many leaves, or one leaf, or one giant leaf. The leaves could be different colors, or one color. The possibilities are endless.
This generator would apply to each plant, big or small.
I also want mineral variation, like not just big rocks. I want crystals, crashed meteors with large deposits of materials. Alien like things. Things that don't look like...
