grinding

Players note that while the game offers an engaging space survival experience, it requires a significant amount of grinding, especially in the early stages. The current spawn rate of disabled ships and their weaponry can lead to excessive resource farming, suggesting a need for adjustments to balance gameplay. However, once players upgrade their tools, resource gathering becomes much easier and more enjoyable.
- “Highly recommend to anyone who loves space-style survival games, but prepare for a slow start and some grinding until you upgrade your tools to a better tier and begin gaining resources with ease.”
- “The current spawn rate of disabled ships is manageable, but the excessive amount of guns on these ships leads to resource farming issues. A disassembly process for guns and a slower spawn rate might be necessary to balance the game.”
- “The grinding aspect can be quite tedious, especially at the beginning, as players need to invest significant time to upgrade their tools and improve resource gathering.”
