The problem comes when they are basically the only one. There is just this tedious, boring, and extremely time consuming grind that you have to do over and over and over again until you have a ship capable of fighting pirates. This wasn't a problem a long time ago.

I don't think you understand how ironic your post is. All of those points are provably false because the game used to be very excellent for single player, all he would need to do is revert 3 or 4 mechanics back to the way they were a year ago and single player would be good again for the most...

I have always liked the old way the game was balanced in general. As someone who exclusively played single player, the way the game used to be was very fun, albeit a bit broken due to being in alpha. There was always a general flow to the game, where I would make a new save, build a ship > mine...

That is all there is left. I played 12 hours of the newest patch and all there is to do in single player for the most part is grind for minerals for hours, make factories, spend a bunch more time grinding minerals into blocks, use blocks to build ships. It sounds fine in theory but it can easily...

It is not earning things that is the poor game design, it is the extremely contrived way it was implemented. This is a pitfall a lot of video game designers fall into, where they will continually balance a game around what they want players to be doing, instead of what players actually want to...

I play to build and I play single player, the concept of deliberately delaying what I'm doing by 10+ hours for the sake of "earning it" in the loosest quotes I can muster, is shit game design. In multiplayer that kind of thing matters, maybe some other obscure goal that matters, with what I do...

I usually check up on this game once every 6 months or so to see how things are coming along, and each time something has completely ruined the game, and it's different every time. Initially, I quit about a year and a half ago because the game was big time plagued with performance and...

That makes no sense though, because at least during the first 12 hours of the game it is around 5 times more efficient to just grind raw materials, sell them raw, buy the blocks you need and repeat, and even after a long time it is still probably 1.5-2x more efficient because any time spent...

Maybe we are literally playing a different game because single player factories are literally useless, single player starmade is in general garbage right now. All stores in single player have the same prices, and every single block that can be produced with any factory is always worth either...

A year ago I would normally just farm ice crystals or cacti and sell them for 1000 a pop, make a ton of money, make a huge ship, and then go fighting pirates. Sometimes if I got lucky and found a shop that had massively different prices quickly I would just shuttle a ton of things between the...

Even if all your points are correct you didn't explain a single one of them.

I was using the first result that always shows up on google, its called starmadewiki or something to that effect, didnt realize there was a different official one.

I used to play a lot of starmade about a year ago, but ended up quitting because of obnoxiously poor performance and a staggering amount of game-breaking glitches. That's all normal, I know that, so I decided to return a week ago to see how that game has progressed. So far almost every single...

I'm not a programmer but I know Minecraft is very seriously limited by it's Java environment and on high end systems gets usually about 100fps, when it clearly should be getting upwards of 2000.

I quit playing this game a year ago because I would lose ships and large creations on a regular basis due to fatal glitches, and on top of that the game consumed way, way more resources than it had any business doing. In frames where it should have been taking up maybe 80Mb of video ram, it was...
