Playtest - Goodbot comments

My experience with goodbot and moments where I thought it could help out:


I thought full bottles in my inventory automatically recharged my o2/jetpack, but I can't tell what triggers it or if I am using it right, could you clarify that through a goodbot hint?

Is it just me? In order to mine/grind/weld, I always need to press C to be able to aim. But goodbot doesn't mention that -- not knowing this might get beginners stuck.


The goodbot tip "use refinery or survival kit to obtain ingots" repeated for an hour, even while I was using these kits to create ingots. Maybe I never had ingots in my inventory, and always transfered them directly, so the tutorial did not register them...?


The second temperature/electricity tips disappeared before I could read it. It wasn't clear to me what causes the hints to disappear sometimes.


Goodbot tip how to pick up things with F came quite late. If by that time I hadn't known how to pick things up at all, I would have been stuck. (First I tried T. Then I switched to empty hand with 0 and then clicked.)


It says "oxygen low" on Earth after every relog (because the helmet is on again by default). Did goodbot even teach us how to take off the helmet to not waste suit oxygen on Earth? I know it's J, but the tutorial only told me that on the second day or so, beginners would have suffocated by then. :-P Also one of the tips actually told me to put the helmet back on, on Earth! In other locations, that advice could be lifesaving, but not on Earth.


I filled stone into the survival kit, and went to the Procesing tab, and there was no recipe. Only the second time I went there, I saw the "stone to base ore" recipe (it had a gravel icon for some reason) and I could schedule it. This happened more than once. Might be confusing for beginners, they already will have a hard time finding the right tab.


Okay I figured out how to colourise my own vehicles: Select cube, press ], press P, select colour, confirm, MMB... Not the most intuitive procedure to figure out. But I could not colourise the shared base, and it was unclear why. Goodbot to the rescue, please?


I sat in a seat in first person, pressed G, and dragged and dropped poses into my hotbar, and for each drop, the character completely spased out. And I never found out how to actually trigger poses in-game, maybe make that the last thing that goodbot teaches?
