Oxygen Not Included: Spaced Out! Review (Boobie Pillow)
Stopped playing the DLC because after playing through it a bunch I never really did anything on any of the other planets etc. because the rockets and their components were too stupid (which is extremly stupid since its supposed to be an expanded part of the game from the DLC but instead it goes backwards). RIP. going back to base game mode
Spaced out has some great features but one of them is NOT the rockets. They are really frustrating to do deal with with so much missing information and lack of explanation that half the time its trial an error on your first play-through (which usually means someone dies).
Trying to get someone from one asteroid to another should NOT be as complicated/confusing as it is. I literally feel like launching a rocket in Kerbal is more simple than this game. From the tooltip giving you information about "what is wrong" that basically just says what is wrong... is wrong and doesnt explain why or how to fix it.
You would think that when duplicates get in the rocket command capsule you'd just be able to fill the capsule with 02 and they will take off their suites because they dont need them. NOPE to both of those. They don't take their suites off by themselves and there IS no o2 reserves in the capsule so transporting them isnt as simple as it should be its a tedious job on its own, one which I basically have scraped by doing everytime cos I have absolutely no clue as to how to give them enough 02 to last without strapping on a seperate cargo pod that stores gas, mind you dont even know how they get the gas out of it and furthermore I wouldn't be able to transport cargo AND that at the same time because the carbon dioxide engines don't support that much stuff.
I went on a bit of a rant there but you get my point. it is VERY convoluted in terms of the rockets and in terms of "space travel" its still something thats pretty far into a game not as early on as i was expecting or hoping for.
In all honesty I would say the best part of this is anything but the rockets but I just dont feel like its worth buying it just for that.
if they make the rockets more streamlined and less damn frustrating then i'll probably change my review but for now they're simply so damn tedious that they seem more like an obstacle than an enjoyable part of the game.
