If you needed a crop seed, for example, you would have to pray to the RNG gods. This system didn’t work well for things like quests or rare item spawns and it didn’t provide any sense of discovery. Space objects, like asteroids, planets, ships, stations, and anomalies randomly spawn periodically. We’ve always struggled with the mission system. We took the things that didn’t work, and made them better. We added a lot of new things to the game that fundamentally alter how it’s played (in a good way). The help pop-up is nice, because it allows us to add extra explanation for various game mechanics, without cluttering up the UI This is useful for colonists with low morale (and to stop a drunk engineer from breaking everything)
To make it easier for the player, we added a “give vacation” button to colonists. Inspecting/Fixing Objects: Colonist will break objectsĪdditionally, there’s a chance that a colonist won’t work at all if competency is low.Ĭompetency is also affected by drugs and alcohol, so that a drunk colonist will carry boxes aimlessly around the station. Moving Items: Colonists will move items to a random floor As morale becomes negative, competency gets low.Įach activity has a different competency failure outcome: It’s a little bit like rolling a die in a board-game. Access positions, for example, are placed as separate objects relative to the position of their parent.Ĭolonists will now work even when morale is low, but it affects their competency.Ĭompetency is used to determine if a colonist successfully performed their job. Third, you have to inform all objects that rely on the position of the moved object that its position has changed. A colonist will attempt to walk to where an object used to be, if the object isn’t there, they generate a new route to the object.
We’re informing the colonist in a lazy way. Second, you have to inform colonists that the object was moved if they’re currently walking towards it. First, you have to provide almost the exact same placement rules as when you first create an object, but a repositioned object can be placed on top of itself, and it doesn’t require any build cost.
