Wardin25 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Many games have those sometimes useful loading screen tips, do you think the game would benefit from those Like, loading screens seem endless at times, you might as well learn something new in the moment, feel free to add tips you'd give (intentionally dumb ones are welcome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffford W. Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Would not work cause the loading screen is frozen while loading the game so you can have like one loading tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Rage Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 It wouldn't go well with the immersion. Not for DST. The lack of a tutorial is by design. It's for the same reason tips are missing. The game has very intricate mechanics and figuring them out by yourself is part of the fun (even though some of them are infuriatingly punishing, lol).

Mysterious box Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 It would be kinda funny if the game gave tips on the loading screen but every so often it would give bad advice with a small pic of Charlie in the backround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for the same reason tips are missing. The game has very intricate mechanics and figuring them out by yourself is part of the fun (even though some of them are infuriatingly punishing, lol). I agree but there are exceptions to this though. * Some mechanics are plain weird and can often only be discovered by sheer luck. * The crafting tabs have a weird and often unintuitive organisation. Giving players hints such as "You can find a Bird Cage in the Structures Crafting Tab" can smoothen the experience. * There are things you could in theory figure out by yourself if you don't have anything to do besides playing DST. They are prohibitively expensive to figure out w/o a wiki, guides, asking others or similar. Examples are some of the ingame behaviours and mechanics, console commands, what some settings actually do etc. * 90% of players (this is a 100% exact guess!) don't have the hacker/scientist mentality to figure out some of the stuff that is more accessible but still requires time and patience to fully grasp. They will look for help *regardless* of whether you provide it via the game or not. * Tips don't need to be overly specific or even directly mechanics related. They could be general guidelines such as: "If you take more time exploring you sometimes find alternative solutions to your problems." (Just an example). * Some mechanics are extremely essential but are barely hinted by the game itself. For example having armor ready is super fundamental, still people kind of waste hours and possibly get frustrated until they figure out that they have been playing super-extreme-challenge-mode the whole time.

JeezSorry Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 I think tips for characters would be nice, like "Wilson's beard keeps him warm in winter, shave it off before it becomes to hot out!" or something like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
