New Game Plus Please Deep Field!
Hello fellow scientists!!
I just want to start off by saying I absolutely love this game. And as I approach 2,000 hours played, I find myself having beat the game every which way I can think of. From tweeking server settings to the extreme, to using every mod imaginable, to completing iron mode with monster HP at 300%.
Which leads me to this post. I want to continue to play and love this game. I want to continue supporting the devs, and not let this become another game in my steam library that I never go back to. And I think that the best way to create an even greater level of replayability, is to add **New Game Plus**!
In one of the data logs they mention that Dr. Stern had created a simulated version of the entire facility. Maybe after we beat the game, we could find the machine running that simulation. And depending on what level of new game plus you're on, tweek the settings for the next run.
A big complaint I read about on this subreddit is that a good majority of the best upgrades come so late in the game that you cannot properly enjoy them. What better way, than to bring some of that tech with you to the new playthrough?
A lot of this game is collecting materials, knick-knacks, furniture, and decorating a base with love. But then you reach the end and never touch any of that stuff again. NG+ could remedy this by allowing persistent changes to the facility as one of the settings.
All in all, this game has all the right ingredients for making a new playthrough just as enjoyable as the first. And there are several ways that this could be tackled. I would love to hear suggestions from the community!
Anyways, back to science-ing!!
