the game seems to have to so many balancing issues.. from unequal distribuition to distance to resources to too much mechanics focus on the human sides only.
Feedback / Ideas:
The graphics look cool, the fighting is nice and chaotic at times, especially at night. Buggies are fun, but I think it can all be ramped up a little more. More chaos!
Gameplay:
1. too slow
2. add jetpacks for infantry to increase movement speed
3. Add a capture the flag objective (or maybe some kind of element like that, like a rich resource site) *future
Maps:
4. make the maps smaller or units faster (or both)
5. more points of interest (e.g. geographical features like valleys, rock, boulders, trees to serve as choke points and/or vantage points)
6. destructible terrain (like craters from explosions, tunnels would be cool)
Events:
7. Sandstorms
Buildings:
8. constructable walls (every loves this in RTSs), building them and breaking them is fun
Units:
9. sandworms! (get some Tremors action in!)
10. traps (e.g. landmines, corrosive sacs)
11. dirt bikes (and when you hit a boulder you bail – will be amusing 🙂
Economy:
12. No one likes playing as shrimps or harvesters and they slow the game down, replace them with automatic resource gathering sites (set it and forget it)
13. high yield but very risky ressource gathering points
14. slow but steady sources of automatic ressources
For teleport balance tether it to transport vehicles like the apc similar to how planetside 2 does it.
Just an idea, to ease the building for humans.
When building is unpractical on certain terrains, we could build surfaces to then support buildings or even ease the harvester movement.
For instance, kind like in Satisfactory.
You can build factories on the ground but for a better management and placement, you can also build metal plates to have plain surfaces to build.
Map need to be bigger as you can get to other peoples base way to fast
Dram, if you read comment section, Will you ever stream some work in progress on game or is that technically not allowed/ illegal.
Edit #1: Dram, replace Silo as expansion buildings and add a new building "Transformer". Looks like a sub-station power station which allows the expansion of the base while making silos only increase capacity as intended. It is also 25 resources cheaper than silo.
