Test Results

1) Ion thrusters stopped working. The game helpfully (not!) told me that I seemed to be stuck and should turn power on/off. Since batteries are not affected by the power switch {Y}, this was silly. Reloading the game fixed it.

2) Still no reasonably-sized solar panel for small ships. The panel is longer than my entire ship.

3) Hydrogen engine needs to have higher output or use less input. A full O2H2 generator empties very quickly. It would be nice to have a help note regarding zero materials inventory on H2 engine, and that it uses H2, not ice. Also, cannot pass items through H2 engine if it is in the path of a cargo system. Grid needs power to make H2 for the engine that makes grid power? THIS IS NOT INTUITIVE!

4) Ice is not detected by ore detector. On purpose?

5) New ore colors are nice, but platinum cannot be differentiated from stone.

6) Power cells needed for power efficiency modules? Yes! I like.

7) No chance of surviving the new scenario by following the instructions. Going straight to the base is suicide. No hand weapons stored at the base. No hand weapons can be built by the survival kit.

8) GoodBot tutorial hints seem to repeat themselves often. Even if you do exactly what it suggests, you get the same notice a few minutes later. Also, how is it helpful to get a note regarding the jetpack controls after using the jetpack for an hour?

9) The ghost ore rocks are gone! Thanks.

10) Heavily loaded ships still won't rotate unless you wiggle them. Why hasn't this been fixed yet?
