Feedback on pistons and rotors

Won't Fix

Dear Keen, thank you for working on an amazing idea of a game. I feel it has huge potential. It has already kept me playing with all my free time, spending hours just testing possibilities. My biggest frustration is not being able to bind keys to functional block. E.g, inplementation of WASD controls for piston/rotor aided steering. I am forced to use Digi's control mod in order to do that. Nobody wants having to bind too many functions to the toolbar. I have attached a screenshot of what Digi's control mod enables me to do and I really feel it should be part of the vanilla game.


Another issue I have is the stability of the pistons and rotors. Sometimes when I'm building small ships, adding pistons suddenly cause my ship to constantly drift/tilt forward and then drop and crash. Pistons and rotors also go crazy at random, flailing about till my build breaks itself apart. One more game changing thing, projectors only project 1 grid at a time. This makes it very painstaking in survival mode. And impossible to repair our builds when we've projected them overlaying the current model.

I understand the game is a work in progress, but I will greatly appreciate if you will take my feedback into consideration. I'm sure you will make a lot of players much happier.

Hello, Engineer!


Thank you for your feedback and ideas, but could you please post them separately again as a "Feedback" topic and not as a "Bug" topic?


Regarding the stability issue of pistons and rotors you have reported, could you please provide us with more information? We would appreciate a save of your game when this issue happens to you again. To report a bug into our system it is necessary to have reliable steps to reproduce in order for programmers to fix it.


Any additional information would be greatly appreciated!


Thank you.


Kind Regards
