Peer Review #1

29 okt

[color=#33FFDD]Greetings to our fellow colleagues,[/color]

We're starting a brand new series called [color=#FFCC33]Peer Review[/color], where we look at creations from the scientific community -- that's you!

To start us off, today we’re going to set some standards for Fan Art, fan fiction, and other fan creations. We’ve heard feedback that you’d like more detailed guidelines, as well as our not-so-vague approval of fan creations in general. Many people ask us if X, Y, or Z is okay to draw, write about or post.

Generally, the answer is absolutely yes! Let’s hop into specifics.

A small forward from Henry Feltham, Narrative Director at Deep Field Games:

We’ve witnessed incredible results from your endeavors over the last six months - groundbreaking research and professional creativity of the highest order!

After paying meticulous attention to the fruits of your creative endeavors, we offer the following guidance to assist your scientific efforts going forward.

There’s a lot of speculation around IS numbers and how they operate, so below are a few rules we use at GATE for classification, lore-keeping, and remaining consistent within our universe.

Writing Your Own Immurement Candidates

GATE assesses all potential subjects for official immurement. Until such time as an IS becomes official (let's call it “canon”) it is under a different designation: IC.
This classification is: Immurement Candidate (IC) and is assigned a four-digit reference number, for example: IC-1234.
If you’re writing about a hypothetical candidate, please use the IC numbering system, instead of the IS numbering system, to help differentiate “canon” entities from “community created” entities.
Typically these numbers should avoid any already in use by an IS, and it is always possible that GATE will announce an IS designation in future using that number, at which point any IC that uses it will, presumably, have to change.
A reference number is unique and can be used only once. Consult the (SPOILER WARNING) ABF Wiki Immurement Registry[abioticfactor.wiki.gg] for a list of known entities that GATE has cataloged.
IC’s are given provisional designations depending on their qualities and behavior, itemized on the Immurement Registry[abioticfactor.wiki.gg] page.
There are no current limits to what GATE may consider an IC: objects, artifacts, organisms, events, certain locations or anteverses – even ideas – may be considered an IC.
However, if you are researching a location, independent from our own local universe, it will most likely be categorized as an Anteverse, rather than an IC.
Your findings increase and expand our understanding of the universe and realms beyond. You can post your own findings in the community-led GATE Collective[abioticfactor.wiki.gg] section of the Abiotic Factor Wiki. Please remember to respect the rules and regulations of the Wiki, both in the community-created content sections, and all official Wiki pages.

We maintain awareness of such esteemed scientific periodicals on Twitter, Discord, the Steam Community Hub and Reddit, and eagerly await your further data and findings. Along with written creations, we are also keeping an eye on artwork and other creations, which we post periodically on Twitter.

If you want a survival/crafting game with a twist and some story drizzled in there I'd give this game a try.

PROS
1. Lots of things to craft (despite only 10 hours into my new save) so I'm sure there is more.
2. Survival - Gotta manage thirst, hunger, rest (sleeping), temperatures (such as being too warm or too cold), and even defecating.
3. Different take on the world/map layout. Instead of being a open world it instead puts you into claustophobic hallways and caverns. Even alien/old worlds through some sorta portals.
4. Linear/story progression.
5. Has co-op. Unfortunately I don't have friends to try that. I'm sure it would be fun with more people.
6. Game so far can be played solo thankfully.

CONS
1. Managing hunger, thirst, rest and etc can be tedious for some people. Especially if you're moving around everywhere.
2. Game doesn't want you stay in one place forever. Its in your best interest to make multiple bases (crafting tables) in multiple locations. So if you like staying put and don't enjoy going out of your comfort zone... This might not be for you.
3. As stated above; the game wants you to go out of your comfort zone so if you're not fond of horror games this might not be for you. The game goes from innocent and light humor to dark and ominous real quick.
4. It is early access as of this review is being posted but the game might not have much replaybility as the story and progression seems linear. Map doesn't change its always gonna be the same no matter the save. (I think)
5. Game doesn't have your stereotypical base building where you place blocks or walls and build roofs and make a house like minecraft for example.

Conclusion
While it seems there's more text on the cons that's mostly subjective and most are a 'warning' to people who aren't fond of certain aspects of the game. I would give this game a 8.5/10 personally. I have not played through the entire game yet and I'm sure more content is coming so it might even get better. But I wanted to give a good review cause it has taken my interest after trying again. "trying again" meaning I didn't invest too much on my first saves, this time I got farther and pushed myself to venture into the unknown and this game does that. Makes you venture into the unknown, gather materials, survive while doing it, and while doing that... Gives you a sense of horror. You're an afraid newbie on the job unsure what the heck is going on and now you have to escape this so called 'new job' and fight for your life. The more I play this game the more it gives me red faction vibes with the whole cave system and such.

TL:DR
As I first stated. Nice change in pace survival/crafting game if you're looking for another one with a twist.
Doesn't have base building like minecraft or enshrouded so no houses.
Might not be very replayable once finished? (I have not finished the game so take that with a grain of salt)
Can feel like a horror at times so you have been warned.
Game wants you go out of your comfort zone.
Still early access and soon to be 1.0 (if no delays) so it might get better.

8.5/10

Apologies for any typos.

Edit - After a couple more hours of playing the game is becoming even creepier and things that were once not as aggressive are far more aggressive.

Portal Storms, Events, and Weather

One thing I for some reason really crave is an event of sorts during which there is either a drastic increase of Order spawn (not unlike a Radioactive "weather" event ) or a dedicated base assault attempt (those three poor fellows that spawn on occasion just don't really cut it) on player's base. Same thing can be said about zombie hordes. Perhaps a Horde Outbreak when there are clusters of zombies around the facility? Oh, and remember the Colleague? Since there are scientist body model...

Hotfix 0.9.2.12333

24 okt

Salutations, sweet scientists,

We’ve released a hotfix that should banish some ghastly issues!

Please update your game and servers when you get a moment away from scientific study. If you don't receive an update, verify your game files.

Hotfix 0.9.2.12333 Changes -

Customization Changes:

New Hair Color: Bronze
New Hair Color: Black

Other Fixes:

The Splintered Crossbow can now be salvaged.
Fixed an issue that could cause multi-ammo-type weapons to fire the wrong ammo type.
Changed the text color on Small Signs to be slightly more white to improve legibility.
Fixed a bug causing the Small Sign’s durability value to be overridden with an incorrect (and much smaller) number upon taking damage.
Fixed a bug causing caught fish or other fished up items to spontaneously disappear if the player has no room in their inventory. Fish and fished up items now drop on the ground if the player’s inventory is full.
Fixed a bug preventing turrets from reliably firing at enemies if placed at a sideways angle.
Fixed a bug that made players fly when using a Cloth Rope and Plant Rope deployed close together.
Fixed a bug preventing the radiation glyph from appearing on radioactive items and containers with radioactive items in them.
Potential fix for Cauldron bubbles disappearing after rehosting a world.
Reduced the size of grown pumpkins in Garden Plots so that the water level is visible again and scientists can properly interact with them.
Fixed some subtitle timing and localization issues for Dr. Riggs.
Fixed an issue with Niketas’ dialogue not being properly localized in French and Simplified Chinese.

We are still investigating other reports and issues so please keep the science coming. Thanks!

Onward to science!
