Projections on the game

[Tonywolf77]

None of these things I'm listing are things I expect or even want to see in the game in the future; This is just a writing down of my thoughts and things I'm interested in seeing unfold down the road as the game continues to be developed. 

First off, I'd like to address the fish. There are currently 5... 5? Critters populating the asteroid along with the duplicant colony players manage and grow. All, and I mean ALL game devs being the scamps that they are, I feel like tossing a fish into a water tank is something Klei would not just do as merely a cosmetic solution, let alone just an afterthought. I'm very curious to see how dupe interactions with critters develops and if a larger array of creatures is added to the game in the future, if not the near future...

Larger map sizes and larger and smaller map size choice in the future... This is self explanatory, it happens with a fair number of sandbox/simulation esque games. 

Research selection. Right now there are two methods of research, three levels I believe of research occupations and about 4 or 5 research levels in the game. I would not be surprised to see this optimized or changed in the future.

More diseases! I personally suck at the game, like badly, and while the two main diseases are already an issue I would expect at some point the devs would decide to throw more mucky... mess, at players to complicate their dwelling days within the spacerock.

With diseases and animals (And more map space!!) comes more biomes. I personally love the change of pace whenever I enter a new biome, it gives me more interesting things to see and discover. It also helps the already existing biomes from becoming cluttered or monotonous as the game continues to grow. As of yet we have the swamp biomes, which provide an icky appeal to the environment, but no lush beauty within the expanse; That may be a stretch to hope for given it's a hunk of rock in space, but not impossible. 

Obviously a directive as far as story goes and a potential endgame, and this observation is on the basis that your opening line hints at escaping. You also have the mysterious printing pod to think about. Why is it there to begin with?

More elements to toy around with (Obviously.). There are bits in filtering that suggest mercury, helium and various other chemicals are available that I have not seen yet, so this one is more or less up in the air. 

All of these things (or none) I'm sure have been considered by other players and so I hope I wasn't baiting anyone into reading. More or less I just got bored and decided to post my thoughts on how the game will turn out as we progress. Thanks for reading.

TL;DR I think they're adding more stuff to the game.
