It was a very unique playthrough, no mods or workshop content, jovial radiation was on.
Since dugong doesn't have fabricators we had to rely on stations for crafting, which was a fresh take on gameplay.
I really liked having the game separated into action phase and relaxation/sorting/crafting phase.
One caveat - no station in the game has a medical fabricator, which made us bleed bored medics.
Most agreed that it made little sense not to have them even in research outposts.
Jovial radiation while many dislike it, I think it brought urgency, we were running, rushing and not mildly bored mindlessly doing whatever, we had somewhere to be, it gave us a clear direction we had to focus on, which in turn made the campaign more challenging, fun and memorable.
We made it to the end with a dugong crew of three people myself included and a bot we randomly rescued from an abandoned outpost.
It was amazing from start to finish from barely making it out, panic buying antirads, stabilozine and hazmat suits, to rushing PUCS suits.
The last biomes were stressful due to scarcity of stations and shortage of supplies, (which was awesome, usually you have the luxury of making whatever - whenever) we ran into abandoned station I mentioned earlier, that regrettably - didn't have fabricators.
I won't spoil the end, it was done without bugs, with vanilla items, dugong and a three man + bot crew, we beat (made him a non threat) the boss without firing a shot of our three lazer cannons and the secret of that I'll leave with my crewmates: recently joined, big brained 200 IQ "Athletic doomer" who thought it up and "| | | | |" we nicknamed sticks who got us to that point with his hundreds of hours of gameplay and knowledge of components.
Thank you guys for helping me beat the game.
I do not know wiring, still am afraid to go diving, playing with a controller, my only skills were repairing, being forced to grow trees in the engine room, and recently, being a captain of an RGB lazer dugong that memed it's way to the very end.
Do with this information what you will, I had to tell the tale.
This question is as opposed to what you can do in the sub-editor while not within a campaign. For example, can you install a button that will open all of the internal doors at the same time?
I'm trying to get an idea of what sorts of things can be done in the middle of a campaign.
