Hello. First of all, just for the info, there can be mistakes and misprints, my english isn't perfect, it's not my native. Now let's go closer to the point. I'm enjoying Underrail right from official release. Was streaming it online for more than 80 pure hours, on oddity, discussing it with viewers and other streamers and players of it. I thought to create account on Underrail main site time ago, but due to my dislike of forums I put it aside. But finally there are a lots of offers and things, so I created it and want to share my thoughts.
Unfortunately I forgot many of things and flaws, about which I was talking about. However this is better than nothing, I will edit or add notes and offers, if I will remember it or find some new ideas.
Here are some for now:
1] Give possibility to use Telecinetic Proxy from places we don't see. In your mind you remember where you placed it, so you just can move it where you want to. Also to have possibility to use it through force field. Seems logical.
[Crafting improving]
2] As we see in v.1.0.1.8 patch we have filter in feats. I suggest to make filter in crafting window. It's bad just to find and click on needed item when you have lot things in the crafting window.
3] Or give us possibility to click the first letter to jump to it. Like when you open crafting window, other hotkeys are blocking and you can click "p" on keyboard to jump to blueprints starting from "p".
4] At the moment we can craft only 1 item per click. This is pretty boring and disrespectfully to mouse when it comes to extracting humours or processing plants. I suggest to create possibility to shift+click and control+click to create 5 and 10 (or all we have) items per click.

5] Highlight objects which we can sell when trading in a different way. At the moment highlight is pretty shitty, sometimes it's actually pretty hard to see this "highlight". So I offer to make green outline in highlighting objects. We just need more conspicuous highlight. I was talking with other people streaming Underrail and they were saying pretty same thing. Someone wasn't even getting what they can sell.
6] Journal. Journal needs improvement for sure. One similiar to Arcanum would be great. Can leave the simplicity tho.
7] Map? Of course I'm sure a lot of people were talking about it. Would be nice to implement map which is empty in the beginning, but filling when you exploring it, like our character is really making map himself. It is flaw of Underrail, even with a good memory it's damn hard to memorize all these passages and crossings.
8] Fix problems when someone can attack you from the corner or throught force field, and you can't (even with range ones, while someone can attack you with melee weapons). It's not even only about force field. I know in real life there can be circumstances when you can attack from the corner, while opponent nearly can't shoot you. But it's not the same here.
9] Autosave on transitions. Damn. Need I say at the moment they suck? If you are going to a place where fight will occur and you have no chance to do anything, then "You and your friends are dead. The End." Autosave really must be made in previous location from which you are moving, not in one you entering. At the moment autosaves are pretty useless. You actually need to quicksave everytime before you change location.
10] Minor stuff like oddities and experiense. 3-5xp for things which is easy to do and only 1xp for one of the long quests like investigation the murder of a brother. Seems not logical. So I guess there is need to rethink xp givings. Like with allusion on System Shock 2, cyber modules oddity, which were 5 xp and now 3 xp.
11] Make a cache files to remember locations and stuff. It gets annoying to wait everytime ~10 secs when changing locations. If you played 24 hours it's like you actually "played" on black screen for almost 1 hour.
[Bugs]
0] Eternal psi points bug. You can cast psi abilities even when your psi level is 0. No need for psi boosters, boyz. That was one of the reasons I finally wanted to create account to write about it. I hope you will fix it soon. Bug came with v.1.0.1.8 patch. Fixed.
12]
http://underrail.com/forums/index.php?topic=2229.0 - Traps + skills like Electrokinetic Imprint bug. If you use skills like Electrokinetic Imprint on traps like bear trap or acib blob trap you will be trapped like if you stepped on them. Bug or feature? Bug, I guess.
[End of Bugs].
13] Your House (in Core City). Considering this topic -
http://underrail.com/forums/index.php?topic=2238.0, and also this one -
http://underrail.com/forums/index.php?topic=2175.0, in which Ninjaxenomorph made very nice suggestions and ideas. So I/we suggest to add some quests combined with your house and your progress of cleaning and buying defence and stuff, because simple buying all the stuff just for cosmetic appearence is not interesting at all (imo at least). But I guess Styg has far-reaching ideas for it. So quests with your house would be really great. Then there will be sence in buying stuff and defence. Quest like organized zoners are trying to rob you or some other groups. At the moment it's quite senceless and even stupid to just buy stuff for nothing, except Workbenches which are giving +crafting skills. Read Ninjaxenomorph's topic for more ideas.
14] Bullet count of your equipped gun when shift is pressed topic by reinhark seems like a good idea -
http://underrail.com/forums/index.php?topic=2234.015] Friendly fire problems. If you use certain skills on enemies and it jump or splash allies they turn hostile. Seems not very right. Also consider this 'Allies becoming hostile because of incendiary grenades ' topic as well -
http://underrail.com/forums/index.php?topic=2194.0As I said already there are only few offers at the moment, I need to recollect my memory to write other ones. Probably will write more later. Maybe I will find new ideas as well. That's it for now.
Till next time. Feel free to join discussions online, I'm trying to stream it more on free time last weeks. Really want to help to improve Underrail, one of the few games I really enjoy a lot amidst of newer ones, of last decade. So thanks for your attention and till next time.
P.S. You have my respect for your huge work, Dan Radishich. Excellent programming of quite unique engine. Keep going on the same spirit.
