As a brand new player this has been beyond bizarre and counterintuitive. The schematics thing is the only reason i am closing my account. Not only did they add the schematics roadblock... there is no documentation about it for new players (Its a bit insane that the codex will tell you anything you want to know about coding a LUA control scheme for calculating orbital mechanics but if you want to make an ingot in a refinery you are screwed) and nobody is making tutorials on YouTube that reflect the new industry changes because why would they? Grinding is necessary but should have a logic to it and a clear path forward. One simple adjustment of of eliminating schematics for any item you can create in the nanopack would make all the difference in the world and keep me onboard.

Charge minimum 3 months for beta... piss them off in the first week. less server load and steady income. good short term strategy ;)

i started beta two days ago and was absolutely loving this game until i found out i cant make ANYTHING with the medium factory gear i bought without first getting a schematic for EVERY recipe. I cant even make the same pure iron that i make in my pack. Grind should have a purpose... this is like buying a dishwasher and taking it home only to find out you need a schematic for every type of fork, glass and plate you have before you can use it.
