Look for buried tech modules as soon as you scanner is working, 50k each, I had broke 4mill after only 3 hrs

My main issue is that I'm just rubbish at it...:):)

Can't say that I've noticed how much finding tech modules is worth. But I didn't think they were that much. I think it changed depending on different scanner mods??
 
I am extremely disappointed in spite of that greatness and his universe, this game is as empty as possible and can only be summed up in these two words: Farm and craft! repetitive to the highest point, the planet has an environment and a redundant fauna.
Make a game based solely on farm and stupid craft! distressing and shameful so it's repetitive and ****! Go your way.

I'm 35+ in and still have a clunky old 'C' Class. Struggling to find crashed or cheap ships of any description atm.

What I did was to use the signal booster to find transmission towers then fix the bare minimum on the crashed ship so I could move it to the system that spawned the ship I wanted & then exchange the crashed one for a good one. I only have A rated ships but I like them!

Woah, that is simply amazing.
I thought that the Atlas patch was good enough when I bought the game at £15. But they just keep adding more and more content

Always thought that underwater was kinda empty, bit like space but wet.
 
I played it on the Xbox One S and it is an amazing feeling to lift off and blast into space and land on an unknown planet, it does a bit empty after a bit though. I have been thinking about re-purchasing for the PC as I find the console controls a little clunky.
 
grind has never been a problem for me in these sorts of games..... i tend to find it kind of relaxing. probably why i love elite dangerous so much.

but i have tried to go back to monitor gaming for these kinds of games and just cant do it.
 
Overall its not the ground that bothers me, I find that ok.
It is the confusion as to what the heck I'm supposed to do at times.

I might get back to this game but at the moment I'm enjoying Cities Skylines since the Industries DLC came out .

This was exactly me, wanted to like it so much but the grind mixed the total confusion of what the hell I'm supposed to do just ruined the experience for me so it just got uninstalled.

The UI is a big part of it I think as its awful and needs a total redesign but at the very minimum a simple quest log and tracker would be good, apparently theres a story in there somewhere as well but after 10 hours I never saw a hint of anything like that. Its also about time they added a proper end game rather that garbage cop out thats still there from day 1.
