What is the point of NMS? I never got it.
It sure seems mindless at times.
They have added things in the last couple updates. It all depends on what you like. It takes some time to build wealth, and there are different ways of doing it.
Did yo look at any of my pics, or the last link, a google doc?

Is it going to F-up where I'm at in the current game?
Not sure. Bases are changed, mining is changed, technology is changed, so a good chance anyway.
These guys are really pissing me off.
I stopped playing with the Atlas update, just to start and try the Abyss update last week. Now with a new version yet, yesterday.
Why can't these fools do it like Civilization, where you can choose which version to play?
Checked quick this morning, and my save game was still compatible. I was able to get in(holy hell load time is way lower). Since lots of changes where to the new game experience(easier mining, sentinels less likely to make trouble, redone early game quests and base building), when I get actual play time later will probably start a new game from scratch.
So inventory slots now hold a very large number of elemental type stuff. I had over 1k carbon in a regular exosuit slot. Not sure how many total you can have.
Mining seems faster.
Instead of pushing F and pointing at something to scan it, you now press F, point at it, and then click the mouse button to scan. Gotta hold the mouse button while it scans. May be slightly faster, but I have not played in awhile so not sure.
Blueprint analyzer is renamed and shows the whole tech tree, very nice change.
Sentinels seem less aggressive.
Only played about an hour(and then CTD). Like some of the changes alot. Some not so much. Might play more tonight, but probably will stick with Oxygen Not Included, which I got Monday and is godly.

Another new patch, lots of changes. Can upgrade your ship, both class and storage(maybe more, have not checked yet). Upgrading class is, as I understand it, expensive. You can also salvage unwanted ships now. You can carry more than one multi-tool, allowing for a scanning tool, a mining tool, and a weapon, each specialized for their tasks with technologies. More new technologies. The ability to upgrade your exosuit to do refining from your backpack(no more forgetting to pick up your refiner and not noticing until you are several systems away). Better base building. Drag and drop functionality in your inventory!
I will play around with it later, but sounds like some good changes.
