Personally, I'd perhaps consider toning it down a little as it's really quite debilitating as it stands, but only slightly - but it's also easily bypassed with our lord and saviour nutrient paste. I've noticed that food poisoning has been really crippling though as consciousness ties in with a lot of significant capacities - and that's understandable as a punishment of having a sh*tty cook. Skills like mining actually have meaning to them with the yield chance, which inclines you to only use your best miners as opposed to your best on high priority, and then any Joe colonist on priority 4 with it for if they have nothing better to do.

With a little run-through a deeply-observed early game, things have been very smooth and mostly bug-free (bar the cooler bug), and it's been a refreshing and enjoyable experience. Thanks for making such a great game, Tynan! If that had been in place when I started playing, I'm sure I would have shrugged and not thought a whole lot about it once I had the seasons figured out, but as a change now, I don't really see it improving the flavor of the game. "1st of spring" might seem derivative since several other games have used it, but the upside is that it's unambiguous.

I am assuming the treatment time is now tied somehow to the severity of the wounds, which makes sense.ģ) I don't like the new season names. Instead of having to wait through a progress bar for each tiny hare's bite, I think there was only one progress bar and all three wounds were updated to bandaged. (This was in the temperate forest.)Ģ) My only medical experience in game so far has been bandaging some minor wounds, but it felt like it went a lot faster. It's kind of plastic-plant-green instead of fitting with the color palate of the map. However, now the green of the wild healroot stands out in contrast and doesn't look like it belongs. The bushes and stone chunks look less cutesy and, to me, seem to fit the feel of the game better. It would be nice to have the option to turn it off.

The new water effect looks really nice, though I worry it will have an impact on my game performance given that my gaming laptop is getting pretty old. I've only gotten to play A17 for an hour or so, but here are my impressions so far:ġ) Overall, I love the new graphics.
