Have any of you already received your backer reward or part of it?
According to the announcement, at least the silver backers should have received their boarding passes.

So, you removed manual mining?
Good to know. This game is now dead to me...

I was doing a bit of math, not everything calculated into the details but enough to start worrying .....
Maybe I am misssing something but please challenge me or correct me if I am wrong.
 
Case: produce at least 100 warp cells a day (or preferabele more ...)
 
Warpcell production requires 20 parts which don't need a schema, but it requires 16 different kind of schema's as well in order to produce a single warpcell.
The 16 products that require a schema:
Calcium Sodium Copper Sulfur Silver Lithium Polycarbonate Plastic Glass Al-Fe Alloy Polycalcite plastic Advanced Glass Calcium reinfoirced copper Polysulfide Plastic Cu-Ag Alloy Ag-Li reinforced glass Warp Cell
 
Each schema type requires multiple hours to create (e.g. the fastest schema's to create are the required Tier 2 Pure Material schema, this will take 100min).
You can produce 5 different types of schema's at the same time. You need at least 4 runs in order to produce 16 different types of schema's
You can produce more in a day then you actually need, so you can queue more then needed for e.g. 100 warpcells a day. Let's assume you queue enough for four days. That would mean I need to log in everyday and start a production of 5 schema's (the last day only 1 ....).
OR ..... I need to log in multiple times a day in order to create all those schema's in a single day.
 
Not going into all details, but this is already starting to feel like a boring day-to-day job to keep on queueing and producing the schema's needed  to keep a Warpcell factory running (and nothing else)!
 
My everyday DU day-job would very much starting to look like ....
1) Logging in
2) Check calibration of mining units (calibrate if needed)
3) Collect Ore's
4) Collect Schema's
5) Put schema's in machines
6) Start new batches of schema's
7) Go to Market and back home
now the first 2 hours are most likely gone .........
😎 then finally start doing all the nice stuff (e.g. building ships, building static constructs, work on my space station, setup industry, explore, fight, discover some astroids, etc, etc) in DU.
I am spending more and more "forced things to do time" in order to play the game for the reason I buy game time from Novaquark.
 
Is this me being negative and is it not that bad, or is it correct that we spend more and more time on things that are maybe worse then a RL job?
 
ps: appologizes if somebody already made this calculation in another toppic. It is kinda hard to go through all that has being written previously on this topic.

as far as i know an alpha is where they add all the features and a beta is the testing, balancing and polishing phase?  They went into 'beta' not feature complete and are about to launch without the features tested and polished?  not sure what to say..
 
Anyway... i get blasted for sharing my views on this.. so going to end it here.. thank you for being civil... its more than i get from the DU discord.  
 
You know....its sounds trivial but all I really wanted from this 'debate' was an acceptance that yes its about the cash....instead I had people talking to me like this was always the plan... maybe im a bit OCD... like many others ive put a lot of time into DU and to be degraded into nothing (i get a lot of 'if you don't like it leave') is a hard pill to swallow.

DU needs more gameplay mechanics other than endless time-gating.  Other than building, everything else in the game is not even good enough to make a mobile game out of.
 
Since current DU has the gameplay depth of a dried up puddle, there is no reason for F2P, or a sub. Once people sub for their 3 months (the minimum sub amount, if I recall correctly) most will leave for other pastures.
 
Add to that, when people find out they charged people, took everything away, and are gonna charge them again for the EXACT SAME time they already put in.  Plus a lot of the negative reviews and comments that disenfranchised players are going to leave...  Well...  They have a huge uphill battle to even GET players.
 
My totally average guy with no knowledge what-so-ever prediction: DU doesn't last more than a year after "launch". Prolly way less, but I am feeling generous.

I still don’t get how we were promised magic BPs for our constructs if there was ever a wipe, and now we just get nothing. 
 
So many questions: 
 
1) Will we now finally get static BP alignment, for when we redeploy our constructs? That we still have that annoying raycast deploy is nuts - far worse after a wipe. 
 
2) Why do we need to backup LUA when it’s saved in BPs? (How do you even back up LUA?)
 
3) If Sanctuary is being reset do we all start back at the Ark? And have to do the new player experience all over again?

"That's only 30% of the year, it's fine."
"That's only like 81 weekdays, don't be dramatic."
(whispers) "...that's only 8 paychecks..."
