Meanwhile I`m singing the nice ONi music, like for the couple yesterday in the Las Vegas quick-marry church:

Bedade di, didade du dudulu, de dedele. Dududu de delede, di dududu meh dedaleh !

Di di didade bedade di, didade du dudulu, de dedele. Du dudu de delede, di dududu meh dedaleh meh be be !

Rah ! Raaaaaaaaahhhhh ! Di di be meh de dedale bi de, meh bededalaeh !

Finally, I have fully explored the starting asteroid and build bases on all 6 (I did not use the debug mode).

First of all, I am very pleased and impressed by what Klei did. They really did hear from the player base. All decisions look well thought and well implemented - large cargo tanks, new ports, etc. Many nice features are in this update.

On the negative side:

Very frequent crashes - like a dozen for a day play. I do realize Klei will fix it at due time. 

Game breaking crash with the first rocket start - it will be fixed in the new patch as reported by Klei.

To think about.

Some world generations (classic size start) come without forest biomes and no pips, no arbor trees can be acquired (neither from the printing pods). Some world generation come without Al volcano and AL is needed for fullerene (small amount of AL ore can be acquired from printer but 100kg once in a while). Some tiny Al ore amount is close by teleports.

It should be either forest biome added to one of the asteroids or a new asteroid is to be made  - preferably with Al volcano, pips, arbor trees and Sulphur volcano (also this one is not rendered in my seed and Sulphur is kind of needed so there is enough amount on the starting one but only if I do not make farms but use it for fullerene - the problem is you do not know if you have to preserve Su until you explore all asteroids and find no Su volcano).

So the following volcanos should be always rendered: W, Niobium, Su, Al, Au as the elements are must for Hi-End materials or new alternative receipts are added to the forge.

Oil in some form - fractures, wells or slicksters, 

also some water in any form, magma and any metal+ Iron which is currently the case. 

Graphite is plentiful in the game but will be also nice to have an alternative receipt to make it from Refined Coal, for example.

Other ideas:

Meteors are nice to have on ONE of the asteroids (I consider that the Niobium one is the best candidate for that). The meteors should bring regolith and ores (renewable source). I missed mostly the visuals and challenge related but extra renewable source is nice.

Mutation is out but it is only for plants what about animals? Analyzing eggs, getting new morphs.

Random in-flight events. Like when a rocket is traversing the space it may encounter a random event. You can switch it on and off in settings. If an event triggers, you may get positive (rare materials, orbital research points, boost of morale) or negative consequences (de-buff, food spoiling but to the certain minimum left to reach the destination, pollution of cabin air or pressure drop).

This can be part of another DLC though. I would call it "Space travel in luxury". 

New space fare buildings: sink, lavatory, slipping bag - smaller size and can be rotated. They cannot be used outside the space habitat module.

A new bigger habitat module - like a space base.

Everyone's input in Interplanetary Automation would be helpful. It's a much needed change to the game.

I support your idea but I guess it should be extended. There is a need in signal transmitter and receiver even in a single asteroid game (vanilla). 

 

 

one more idea for the "space travel in luxury" DLC.

A space station can be built in any hexagon of the space map. It can have ports for rocket landing. All storage modules can be built. Some basic rooms for live support. It can be used for rocket refuel, emergency landing (like if an out-of-fuel rocket stranded in space and cannot reach its destination, it can still drift to the space station and dock) or space tourism to boost morale.
