this game still has many severe bugs, like fall through ground, vehicle not moving, production module stop working properly currently with only 1 save game, and the game will save even alt-f4 the game, there is no way to revert back to prev stable saved game 1st, the game should stop save on force-quit, like alt-f4 2nd, provide more than 1 save games, either auto save up to 10 games, then recycle from the oldest save game again, or provide us a way to do a backup manually in-game
See Oxygen Not Included for a wonderful example of save game handling:
- Each "save" is a list of save files under the started game/seed. - There are 10 auto-saves that rotate/replace ("$name-auto-[0-9]) and are saved once a "day" at the same time so you never lose "too much". - At any pt you can also manually choose to save (both "save" and "save as" to allow for copy/milestone saves) and those are kept around forever or until manually deleted.

Each character was on the space station - and you select which game you want to play and you'd rocket down to the planet ( no loading screen or anything ) and your game would be loaded instantly...
Right now there seems to be a bug with this system... I can't select my characters on the space station, but a very plain single save on solo menu and then there is a black loading screen....
So are you saying they got rid of being able to play multiple different games? ie have multiple different characters on different seeded worlds with different bases?

Not at all. You can still have as many save games as you like, just one per world as was always the case. Have you not tried it since the update?
I have, but its been a long time since the last time I tried the game. I rarely get a chance to play ( a lot of my games are run automatically for cards, or I keep some running 24/7 to code ).
I miss the dynamic loading feature where straight from the menu you click on the character and their capsule would land and you'd hop out and no loading screen would block you from seeing anything... The new system is poor.
I didn't like how there was no text for each character though - that was the annoying bit, but I'd rather have no text and no loading than a bit of text - which isn't that informative in the current state either - and a long loading screen.

That sounds perfect!
