Looking good.

Added to the wishlist for now.

I tried it yesterday and actually didn't notice that much difference (compared to 0.6.13, not to original release).

- my last planet was already pretty good in terms of chasms and being car-friendly
- nuclear-powered cars are as nonviable as ever (that won't stop me from trying yet again! I just have to think where I could cram one more wheel. Or dozen more...)
- I crossed about 1/4 of planet diameter (over south pole back to mild climate zone) and didn't encounter any crash sites or other mysteries. They are supposed to show on radar when I'm close, but seem to be rather rare. Or they are more frequent near equator and I chose wrong direction to start my exploration run

One significant improvement i did notice was the terrain generation speed. Trees and rocks don't pop up in the middle of my car anymore when driving at 70 kph. And no chasms means safe underwater voyages in my amphibian buggy.

This is only based on about 3 hours I tried it yesterday, and large part of it was rebuilding, not exploring. I still have to get out of safety of my car and poke some animal herds with a rifle, for example. Overall not a revolution, more like a nice evolution of already nice sandbox. 60 hours in-game and counting.

Performance improvements are always a good thing, but it's still just a tad too expensive for me at the moment.
Here's hoping for a 50% off sale soon-ish.

It's a very nice update. Before the update, every planet I made had chasms all over. Most of which I didn't notice. I got in the habit of bringing spare material to make a new car when I fell in one because trying to wench it out was useless.

The crash sites are interesting. I haven't found any with interesting loot, just datapads with journal entries.

I think the thing I noticed the most was the hostile plants. Took me awhile to figure out whey I kept getting poisoned in random spots.

Overall, a huge quality of life improvement.

I wouldn't get my hopes up. 50% off comes usually half a year or more after game RELEASE, for bad games. This is nowhere near released (and not a bad game either). Also, from in-dev FAQ

I keep thinking that GOG has Project Nomads, whenever I see the title of this game.

Just a few questions :)

1) Does it perform better meanwhile?
2) Does it get regular updates on GOG as on Steam?
3) How does it run on Linux?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Yes it performs better now than it did in 0.6.13. On land. When driving underwater I still have rocks appear split second before I run into them. The underwater flora does the same, but at least those don't cause collisions. One of the most regularly updated games I have ever owned. Every thursday evening, same time as on steam. Well, except last thursday, which they properly announced. No idea, didn't try yet. No native linux binary, winehq appdb doesn't say anything either.

One of the most critics I have read is about the performance of the game. That it is like ARK performancewise. Sounds good :) You want find much in the WIneHQ AppDB as there is a native Linux Binary available. But I found what I wanted to know here: GamingOnLinux - Planet Nomads has a huge update named "Awakening" adding more animals, crash sites and more

Thanks for your answer :)

what 16 bucks is to expensive for you really

Interesting, thanks for the correction. This should teach me to not write on forums still half asleep, or at least double check my "facts".

For some of us, yes, it is. Some of us pay out $1,800/month in medical bills and picking up a game here is a treat.

You may want to consider writing in complete sentences. This ain't Twitter.

Last time I read into it it was a non customizable male protagonist but with customization and gender choice... considered? In development? Anyway; any progress in that regard?

Still waiting to insta-buy this once it's released out of InDev!
