[[Version/0.4.460]]
Alpha 4 is playable again.
Welcome to the Yoshida Keiji's documentaries series. Have you ever wandered how old versions that launched years ago looked like before you even heard about this game? Here you will find out past content from the eyes of the future after official release of version 1.0.
Back in the days, after selecting "New game", you would be introduced with five story tellers instead of just three:
- Chill Callie Classic: Callie is a less aggressive version of her sister Cassandra. She's good for a first game.
- Cassandra Classic: Cassandra creates story events on a steady-increasing curve of challenge and tension.
- Phoebe Friendly: Phoebe doesn't want to hurt anyone. She just wants a relaxing tale about people building a colony. So she will be very friendly.
- Randy Random: Randy doesn't follow rules. He'll generate random events, and he doesn't care if they make a story of triumph or utter hopelessness. It's all drama to him.
- Tough Cleopatra Classic: Cassandra Classic less forgiving cousin.
Next, would be the character creation screen that didn't had a visual of the pawn, nor health status nor relationship. World Generation didn't exist back then, and the Advanced button was the map size setting instead. Only one biome, the Arid Shrubland. Crash-landed was the only scenario setting, no Lost Tribe, no Rich Explorer, nor Naked Brutality.
Your three survivors would be arriving in escape pods with several starter items all scattered across the entire map, instead of concentrated on a small spot. A stockpile zone and a dumping zone were created by default and three sleeping spots were also set for you. You would have to wait until they touch land to be able to open the "Work Tab". There were no pets yet and the beginning weapons were three ranged firearms: 2 pistols and a Lee-Enfield (Bolt-action rifle).
Starter items scattered all over the map rather a single location
Work Tab
- Creating a Growing Zone had no sow option as to whether plant or not and the species were only: potato, strawberry, rose, daylily, dandelions and oak trees.
- Building with wood had an intermediate procedure compared to present day, back then wood logs needed to be processed into wood planks to construct certain items. In order to make wood planks a work bench was required, called "Hand sawmill", 10 logs would be converted to 25 planks.
- You could build "Log walls", "Wood walls" or "Metal walls" at the start. Log walls were fast to construct but costed more logs than the wooden walls. Both wooden wall and metal walls had built-in power conduits already.
- Stone chunks were named "Debris" and in order to move them around, you needed to order from the architect menu and could not just select the debris and click haul as you can do today. There was only one type of debris as opposed to present time with five variants: granite, lime, sand, slate and marble.
- Days were faster and little could be done on a single day. Metal icon, or steel icon as you know it, had a different skin.
Growing zones had little options
The Hand sawmill to bill wood planks
Three starter wall options: log, wood or metal
Days were faster
- No Colonist roaster on top yet.
- If for some reason your start was slow, sleeping outside had no mood penalty and considered a shared room.
- While looking around your map, you would feel the luckiest man alive noticing lots of golds everywhere. This is because back then, steel (metal) had the yellow texture which is used to identify gold in present time.
- Colonist couldn’t carry any gear with then, so they had no way to have a meal around their activity location and had to return all the way back to your stockpile. From all items to gather, only silver could be hauled in stack, everything else was by individual units. Because of that it could take you seven days to bring everything close.
- Research bench is in “Misc” instead of “Production” and only the advanced version which is 2x5. Stonecutting required 3.000 ticks back then.
- Furniture has no quality yet.
- You could get a mad animal event, but there were no arrows to point where.
- No Health Tab and no Forced rest until healed, after a squirrel when mad, how do they heal?
- Boomrats look like penises.
- Potatoes would fully grow by the fifth day.
- You could build the Comms Console from day 1.
Steel (Metal) ores had the texture of gold instead.
Advanced research bench was default and furniture had no quality.
Boomrats looked like penises.
