How difficult is the survival mode? I only played five hours but if I restart, I'd do the survival mode (without permadeath).

oh shit, if that list is real i might try this out again. Was megapumped for it, and when i realized it didn't succeed in any of the aspects i wanted it to (and not at all having a working universe in the vein they were hyping it to be) i dropped it after 50 hours. Didn't give a shit about the base building stuff, since my main want with this game was the exploration and going from planet to planet (which imo, the game failed miserably with pre-patches, iunno how it is now)
This though, oohhh might we get the big o'le snek we always wanted to see?
Fucking dont get me hyped like this again, i just want a space exploration game ;_;

Adding to that, the time between this and the last feature update (Path Finder back in March) is the longest post-launch period they've had to work on a new update. I know that development isn't quite so stop-start as all that but this new update could be the culmination of a lot of features they've been working on over time.

If there really is a completely revamped central storyline added to the game with this update, I might actually give this game another try. Hope they pull it off.
I'd hold off a day or two. The update is very soon, and changes a lot.
I haven't tried it, but from what I hear it ain't no joke.
I did Permadeath. I lasted 3 hours. It was incredible, I learnt a lot. It was also really challenging - I started on a terrible planet for one thing.
In the end I took a risk and got killed by a plant. I wasn't pissed. I was being wreckless.

It's definitely challenging at the beginning. Eventually you will become powerful enough that nothing is a major threat unless you are extremely careless.
Resources are harder to get, enemies do more damage, and your life support/hazard protection drains much more quickly. You also drain 100% plutonium when taking off instead of 25%
Also on the beginning planet, you spawn a good distance away from your ship and not right next to it like in normal mode.
Every "paradise" planet has hostile sentinels.
If you die you lose all your inventory in your backpack when on a planet or in your ship while flying.

3930k overclocked to 4.8.
I'm with you. Joint (as assumed) exploration is cool, but the other aspects to the update really excite me more.

I'm excited to get back into this. Playing in permadeath/survival mode really gave me a different perspective on the game and I enjoyed it a lot. I'm really excited to see a new storyline.
Why...it's launching tomorrow right? Either I'm not gonna start until the new update comes out.
This week. They launched the last update on a Sunday.
wouldnt count on that one. Its always been a technical limitation for them.

The page was listed to go up on 8/11/17 (or today for them) and they said that the notes will go up when the patch drops. Probably accidentally hit the trigger.

All these changes and stuff recently are really making me want to buy the game now, hope it goes good.
WHEREEEEEE?
No, it says "shortly before". Last time they said that, it hit Sunday.

I doubt that, although maybe we could get snowy areas in the mountains.
I'm thinking more like new biomes. Lava planets, swamp planets, etc.
That shit is not funny, goddamit. Stop it.
