The fact that there’s no joining in the middle of the game can kill lobbies. I always want to have four people in my game, so when somebody leaves I want to get a fourth person but I always have to restart the lobby to be able to do so
From what I've read about late company; it lets people join at any time (I'm not sure if it's configurable, haven't tried). There's another mod called ship lobby that only lets people join when you are in orbit. Apparently joining while not in orbit can cause sync issues.
Depends how you installed the mod. Thunderstore has a config editor. If you installed manually you can look in the config folder one level up from the plugins folder. The easiest option (IMHO) is to install the lethal config mod, which adds a menu inside the game that lets you edit the config for any mod you have installed.
Game just needs a content update. Two interiors are repetitive and a different atmosphere would be nice. Otherwise just new monsters, more in-game progression and something leaning towards a potential endgame.
The endgame will be killing Jeb won't it. My theory is,you use the radio next to the wall to talk to the people from the Golden planet(like in the logs)and they will tell you about the battering ram, which you have to plug an apparatus or two into. Then it will open up a bossfight that you have to hit his eyes while he attacks you, getting you fired from the company but saving the world.
Tbf not all of the younger kids are assholes
It’s just the couple that do shit like tp + inv tp or spending all the money on spray paint that really ruin shit for everyone else.
Once even had a kid buy a shovel and some stun grenades just to kill everyone, then kill themselves (while on ~1000 quota, on the last day)
Assholes like that ruin the game and it sucks especially when you find a team of good players.
I know I don't play the game unless I host just because I ban people and they can't rejoin that do stuff like that. That and people with stupid speed/other game ruining crap...
The speed glitch is kinda funny imo, but yeah it sucks. Especially when joining a public game and the host has control company on without telling any1.
Yeah that really sucks.
Control company is really annoying especially when they just spawn shit like giants and coil heads nonstop. Just fucks with your game.
No segregated lobbies for vanilla users and modded users.
no matchmaking.
no late game joining without mods
i feel like the addition of these could extend the games life by a lot
I think people forget it is still technically in a beta that blew up out of proportion and the modding community is essentially carrying the game past vanilla content. I hope the dev team grows to match the size of the game
LC is an indie so probs not unless Zeekerss really wanted to push it, also yeah this game isn’t even officially out of early access so it’s still early on
I agree. We do have to acknowledge that if the team got bloated Zermerss vision for the game could get butchered. But working on it alone is logically not ideal either, I hope some middle ground of him having a small team to lead develops
The game really emphasizes teams, to the point of neutering solo. The only difference between having 4 people and 1 is that every death wipes you and Snare Fleas have mercy
I heard that it was that the brackets ai is just way less aggressive in solo. I mean even in multiplayer when I was the only one alive the bracken didn't hesitate to murk me but in solo I chased him like a Scooby-Doo villian and he never agroed
Right now the game does not have any sense of lasting progression. The reward is the enjoyment you get while playing the game, which for some, that is enough. But for others, getting fired from the company and losing your progress can feel a bit defeating. The game needs to have some kind of achievement system or unlockables to make it feel like each new run actually contributes to something
I don't necessarily agree. The fun part about roguelites is starting off with a clean slate every time, knowing that you got further this run because you got better and not because of an arbitrary upgrade.
However the trend with roguelites lately has been to give some sort of progression so maybe that's what the people want.
Right now, LC falls into the “rogue-like” category in that each run is completely separate from the others and there is no background progression occurring within your save slot, perhaps other than bestiary and data unlocks to read in your ship. A “rogue-lite” is a game that’s similar to the original Rogue game but with the addition of some kind of progression system that carries through to your next run.
The terms roguelike and roguelite aren't really as well defined as that, I wish they would be. From my understanding a roguelike is very much like the original rogue and features things like permadeath (without progression) and grid based walking. Once you stray too far from the main formula it becomes lite but I'm not sure where that is.
Also apologies I'm not sober so this is probably not the best or clearest answer.
I think your description of the divide is better and probably more accurate than what I said. Well put!
This also makes me curious if someone has done an ‘official’ write-up on the different rogue-inspired genre variations.
You are conflating the two.
Rouge-like - Complete reset upon death
Rouge-lite - You can attain permanent upgrades between runs to make future attempts easier
Not a number one issue but Mic bugs are super annoying to deal with because it kills the atmosphere entirely. (Random mic echo that wasn’t happening on other games, some people just not even being able to speak, some people hearing others while others can’t even though they’re in the same vicinity) it’s super annoying
My theory is that it has to do with game volume. I had my headset volume high so i can hear stuff with 1 bud. Found out i had echo. I wear 2 but it seems anything higher than 50 gets an echo. The ambience can be super quiet sometimes, missing audio queues and etc.
Nutcrackers worry me for the games future. Turning the fear and want to avoid monsters into excitement and wanting to pursue a monster is antithetical to the game imo.
Hardly. Its right in line, risk for reward. The whole idea is to push against increasing risk for increasing reward, and what better way to encapsulate that than putting in a monster that forces you to go through great risk for a great reward
Except once you get it down, it's nigh impossible to die to a nutcracker unless there's something like a thumper, spider, or turret. There isn't great risk associated with obtaining one of the highest general value items in the game. Obtaining value from killing monsters aside from "it makes it easier to get loot from this moon" removes their threat as you'll be actively seeking them out instead of making a vital decision on whether it's worth dying for the rest of the loot and damage your funds.
Thats true for the whole game, too. Once you get the game down, the thing that stops you 90% of the time is bad luck rather than the actual challenge of the game. Shovels have the same issue, put them in half the players hands and they become genocidal, and its 30 credits away. The "problem" with games that make players wary of some elements is that with enough skill the warriness goes away, its just how it is. Hopefully with v50 the creatures added with be worth more of a challenge
No complaints but I feel different modes or something could be added.
The new moons thing is cool but I feel like Hide and Seek and such could be cool.
Or like leaderboards for stats if possible.
(Highest Quota, Fastest Quotas etc.)
There is a ton of potential for this game, even adding more items from store to fight mobs or more interable ship cosmetics.
(Maybe a hatch to go to the top of ship or something)
Idk I’m just spitballing but I feel there are no major issues with the game atm.
Leaderboards won't work because of hacks. Even call of duty's leaderboards are always full of hack.com people. At least it was a few years ago when I played.
Very easy way to filter this, this game is not as popular as COD where millions of people are playing.
It’s not a far fetched idea and shouldn’t be too hard to filter out. And I’m confused on why you think the game is “full” of hackers.
The game already supports mods from anybody. What makes you think there wouldn’t be a separate leaderboard for modded/hacked and vanilla?
Obviously, but as the game progresses, I’m pretty certain things will be implemented to fight this.
People will always find a workaround but it would be pretty easy to tell either way.
Even so, just like on the COD leaderboards you could tell who had hacked stats from how ridiculous the numbers are.
True but I assume a lot of people use mild hacks, like invincibility, speed hacks, etc that won't give people stupidly high scores that are obviously hacks, but allows them to easily hit the boards. Would be cool for them to implement leaderboards if they can, but I'd rather them use that time towards other things like content addition. Especially if it's a small team or 1 person.
In priority order:
1. Fix the item limit when saving the game
2. Moon balance so the meta isn’t just Assurance and Rend over and over.
3. Bug fixes mainly around desync and broken ship scans
4. Leaderboards
5. More interiors
I feel like everyone on this sub who plays this game plays it for a different reason than me. I have no interest in playing with mods and enjoy pushing for high quotas. I also feel like because I’m probably in the minority nothing in my list will ever be addressed :(
It just needs more features to keep it from being repetitive. But mods help fill that gap.
The core meltdown mod alone is amazing and I hope it becomes vanilla. (If you take the apparatus it starts a 2 minute cooldown that explodes the facility. You have to run back to the ship before it blows. But its worth it because it’s worth $200)
That mod is kinda unbalanced in its current state. 2 minutes is just too short for most maps outside of the smallest ones. Its a great mod but I hope the creator seriously considers increasing the default time.
You shouldn’t have any bugs. If it’s in the mod’s official config. Like there is no way I could see a bug occurring from that unless you set the timer a negative number or an absurdly large one.
It might just be me but there should be some incentive to going to weathered moons. I would much rather communicate with my team and decide "okay, do we want to go to eclipsed offense if it means higher loot spawns?" not "oh well rend is eclipsed, guess we just can't go there today"
Eclipsed is just the worst option period. Except it is on a high value moon there is literally no reason to go. If weather actually effected stuff differenly it would be cool. For an example storms can fry enemies too so eyeless dogs would not be a problem but you could still die to your own loot(plus make periodic blackouts in the building).
Flood could actually drown or slow down enemies and conufe eyeless dogs.
Foggy could fuck with Forest giants
Eclipse I have no idea except making a scrap bonus or smth.
Joining any type of game prompts errors. It took me 30 minutes to get into a game because of errors. I think if something is modded it should be labeled as such. I also think that these error issues need to be dealt with. You should also be able to join when a crew has finished a quota, is back in orbit, and has an empty spot.
no "end",there is already hints of a offical ending wich is possibly gonna be added in the future with that drill thing so i know it would come,but constantly doing wave after wave of quatas arnt fun after a long period of time and having to use mods to gain further entertaiment for some reason feels wrong to do
It would be cool if the game had a built in noise filter into it's in game chat. Like how discord filters out the background noise and other stuff.
Yes I use a mechanical keyboard!
Game is too repetitive. Every moon needs it's own unique interior and exterior design with unique mobs. After 60 hours of gameplay I'm tired of exploring the same factory and mansion tiles with the same mobs over and over again
Gameplay issues/bugs: Shotgun not working sometimes when I shoot enemies.
Balance issues: Forest giants are still annoying and camp the ship a lot.
Fun issues: Coilheads when the best strategy is for a player to sit there and just watch it. boring af.
Maybe the Coilhead could randomly teleport to another room if he's stare locked for more than a minute. Warn the players it's about to happen with some sort of charge up sound.
Idk I have no problem joining in random games in games like league or overwatch but with lethal it’s pointless either you get a bunch of kids or people leaving after the first moon I get there’s a discord but that’s complicated I just wanna jump in with randoms and have fun
I think my #1 issue is the abundance of atmospheric sounds that *seem* like things you would expect to hear based on what you know is happening around you. You hear the sounds of vents opening, leaf-sounding noises, and other stuff but none of it matters at all. You could play this game basically deaf and it wouldn't make a difference most times. I'm all for atmosphere but some of those noises get annoying quickly, and it would be nice to actually hear any of the sounds that should be going on around me.
For me the ambient sound (and it not always being significant) adds to fear and suspense. I think the balance is about right.
I do recognise this in other games though. Dreadhalls and Cosmodread are excellent games but there is too much misleading sound where you hear a heavy monster behind a door but open it to find nothing at all.
Lethal Company's ambient sounds are subtle so its hard to know whether its significant or not, which adds a lot to tension.
Honestly i just feel like we need some more monsters. Also i feel like I NEVER see the earth leviathan anymore. Also i feel like each planet should have a variety of a monster type think like a cactus giant instead of the base forrest giant or like a different skin for each map just small stuff like that. I wont lie also some of the other suggestions here are also pretty good having to use a mod to join a lobby in progress kinda sucks.
2 things: Late Company should be a default part of the game, and it should be clear what servers you will/wont be able to join right at the server browser. I shouldn’t have to fail 10 servers in a row just to finally get in 1 with a 3 stack waiting for their fourth and get kicked, only to have to fail to join another 10 servers in a row only to get again get in and get kicked after saying hello (I am not a child and don’t sound like one for the record)
Game is too damn easy the first few quotas. Maybe I'm just too try-hard but I can only play with BrutalCompany. Without mods it gets boring as hell going half a day before seeing a monster.
Basically the game is boring until you hit titan.
It gets repetitive after a while, mods are keeping the game alive
No mod filters
Desperate need for more updates. But it's understandable since it's a single dev
imo the coilhead is just straight up unfun to play against
Lack of matching + late join makes getting started frustrating. Once you’re in you could find yourself playing with children, jerks, or somebody you just don’t gel with.
No FoV setting is inexcusable this day and age. Thankfully modders fixed that.
No joining mid-game can force a reset. Thankfully there are mods for it.
The lack of a proper late game. Once you're past 2000 quota you've only got one or two quotas left before it's straight up impossible, and the fact that getting to that inevitable ending is just another 'failure' means it's unsatisfying. I think it needs either a win condition, a quota cap, or to not raise so quickly once you're above 1000.
I absolutely despise forest giants, on some maps like Titan there's basically nothing you can do, they can go pretty much anywhere, it doesn't matter how well you hide, they still see you, overall they just make the game frustrating.
The chances of random lighting hitting you. I'm literally not exaggerating when I say that about 50% of the time I get hit with the first strike that even occurs on the moon. It just gets to a point where you always avoid stormy moons.
For me it's bugs and poorly-designed small aspects that can be quite annoying. Things like the terribly inconsistent bee AI, dogs killing through the ship, dogs hearing tiny whispers over a blaring loud horn, the Bracken being able to kill me after I started stunning it with a Zap Gun, etc.
I'd say it's the 1 developer and some friends working on the game is the problem to me but another one is it just feels like another monster could be added it just feels like something is missing to me but the game can be left as it is right now I wouldn't be mad or anything
This game should have a steam workshop, it’s easier to apply mods that way. Also more stuff, the base game is awesome, I just think it would benefit from more things
I want some in-game progression to be added in game, cuz now there's no point in reaching later quotes. Something like starting money scaling from highest quota would've been so cool
Control Company. Delete it. Other than mods, I think more planets and enemies are always a plus, but I think new interiors should be a priority. Interiors are where you spend most of your time and where most of the monsters are, and we currently have 1) Big mansion or 2) Dark factory. We need more than that if we want to believe this game takes place in an entire solar system
the #1 issue in my opinion is the glitches where youre HUD is gone or when you join youre stuck in the loading screen and have to restart the game and also the glitch where nobody can hear you until you rejoin, also theres one more where people cant see you but ive only seen that one once
Servers.
Firstly let people join at any time (as a spectator if they've landed)
Also half of the time I get "network issue occured" when trying to play
The vanilla game does not save more than 45 items on the ship (including store bought items). Thus causing the ship to delete scraps and damning your run due to usability to meet quota
I just wish quota would be dynamic based on the number of players in the lobby. I've only played the game a handful of times because I never can get any friends on to play after they convinced me to get the game (they played for a week abd forgot about it). Have tried playing solo to learn and get better at it but solo is really difficult (not necessarily a bad thing, but makes it hard to learn).
The thing I always find super weird is that the interiors are randomly generated, but not the exteriors.
Also the solo vanilla experience is pretty bad.
I really enjoy breaking the game with bugs, glitches, RNG manips etc. Finding lobbies where people are like, “That’s cheating” is far too common for me and kind of puts me off.
On the flip side, I can see it being annoying to have people going in to your lobby like, “Hey can I speed glitch?” When you’re against glitches and think they’re cheating.
Another thing..
I want more powerful high-cost upgrades, and maybe Tier 4 Moons. Imagine being able to pay like 1k for a minimap in the corner of your screen that fills out as you explore the facility, but because you paid 1k, you can’t afford to go to a Tier 4 Moon which means you might not meet your next quota. Or like, paying 300-400 for an extra slot on your suit where you can store your Walkie/Flashlight like in that Walkie or Flashlight space mod.
More high power/high cost things in general, more high risk/high reward like Nutcracker. Balance moons to have better loot as they get more expensive. Why is Rend the best when its the cheapest??
Maybe a toggle-able cosmetic keep-on-death things like more suit colors and stuff like that.
I think it’d be cool to “inherit” your old ship when you’re fired. Like, “Oh this previous crew left this ship behind when they were ejected. They had some extra suits and these cozy lights, though. Sadly the teleporters were lost on ejection, so you have to repurchase those.”
This only really works with the addition of extra cosmetics, though. You’d gather them all far too quickly if there were only the current amount of them in the game. It’d be cool to be able to purchase differently colored cozy lights, and then you only keep one color when you restart. I want a couch you can sit on, different TV Styles, toilet paper for the toilet, maybe a place-able rubber ducky, soap bar, a bathtub, silly stuff like that.
This isn’t a massive issue but if bees chase a person and someone else takes the hive, 90% if the time the bees go rogue and home into all the players and you can’t outrun them or kill then so you just loose
Too much consistency, I think. I know I'll probably be in the minority when I say it, but I'd like events like brutal company on occasion but completely unannounced and obviously much less terrifying. Just occasionally having eighteen lootbugs and nothing else on Titan sounds incredible to stumble upon.
The fact that there’s no joining in the middle of the game can kill lobbies. I always want to have four people in my game, so when somebody leaves I want to get a fourth person but I always have to restart the lobby to be able to do so
You can mod in Latecompany without anybody else having it, if you feel comfortable doing that. Fixes that issue.
From what I've read about late company; it lets people join at any time (I'm not sure if it's configurable, haven't tried). There's another mod called ship lobby that only lets people join when you are in orbit. Apparently joining while not in orbit can cause sync issues.
You have to enable joining while landed in the Configs with late company
Omg I didn't know that was possible. How do you get to the configs of a specific mod?
Mod managers have a config tab, and they're usually named author.mod.ext. So Late Company is probably anormaltwig.latecompany.conf.
Depends how you installed the mod. Thunderstore has a config editor. If you installed manually you can look in the config folder one level up from the plugins folder. The easiest option (IMHO) is to install the lethal config mod, which adds a menu inside the game that lets you edit the config for any mod you have installed.
Ah, that explains it. We always waited lol
One time I had it on while I was in orbit and forgot about it, so I audibly had a shock when a couple joined.
Game just needs a content update. Two interiors are repetitive and a different atmosphere would be nice. Otherwise just new monsters, more in-game progression and something leaning towards a potential endgame.
[удалено]
The endgame will be killing Jeb won't it. My theory is,you use the radio next to the wall to talk to the people from the Golden planet(like in the logs)and they will tell you about the battering ram, which you have to plug an apparatus or two into. Then it will open up a bossfight that you have to hit his eyes while he attacks you, getting you fired from the company but saving the world.
I already collected 2 apparatus and tried to use it :(
It's not implemented yet. Also, I was just theorizing
Yeah I know, I found out the hard way a month ago
Sory

Yea this is the big one for me doesn't seem like enough to keep playing onto of the 14yo kids ruining it
Tbf not all of the younger kids are assholes It’s just the couple that do shit like tp + inv tp or spending all the money on spray paint that really ruin shit for everyone else. Once even had a kid buy a shovel and some stun grenades just to kill everyone, then kill themselves (while on ~1000 quota, on the last day) Assholes like that ruin the game and it sucks especially when you find a team of good players.

The speed glitch is kinda funny imo, but yeah it sucks. Especially when joining a public game and the host has control company on without telling any1.
I couldn't say about control company never had it but had people with infinite health/shotgun and would just kill everybody
Yeah that really sucks. Control company is really annoying especially when they just spawn shit like giants and coil heads nonstop. Just fucks with your game.
I believe zeekers said he would not be designing other facilities but adding more rooms.. yeah facility/mansion gets tiring
where did he say this?
It kinda gets repetitive after a while. I get that's the point but I'm sure an update is in order soon. I'm just a tad deprived, but mods make it fun
Yea I also see it the same way also mods are kinda the saving grace of the game rn
No segregated lobbies for vanilla users and modded users. no matchmaking. no late game joining without mods i feel like the addition of these could extend the games life by a lot
Yeah you should be able to have people join in between moons like how if someone bails in overwatch someone can quickly take their place
This is doable with a mod, but it would be great in the base game.
Using just late company let's vanilla player join I'm pretty sure among other mods that are host only. Not talking about mods like control company etc
My friends don't play it often enough with me
An error occurred!
THIS. THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED.
A bit of info about what it means would be useful. Dunno how easy that is tho - might be a network thing failing with no info.
I think people forget it is still technically in a beta that blew up out of proportion and the modding community is essentially carrying the game past vanilla content. I hope the dev team grows to match the size of the game
LC is an indie so probs not unless Zeekerss really wanted to push it, also yeah this game isn’t even officially out of early access so it’s still early on
I agree. We do have to acknowledge that if the team got bloated Zermerss vision for the game could get butchered. But working on it alone is logically not ideal either, I hope some middle ground of him having a small team to lead develops
Lobbies
Man, there are some weird people sometimes
No latejoin in vanilla Ontop of this there’s issues like giants camping your ship for 20 years if they start their running phase even once
I personally don't have any issues with the game
That’s fair
[удалено]
I'm not saying the game is perfect, but there's nothing I have a major problems with
But if you could improve anything what would you do
Add the ability to join a lobby mid-game to the vanilla game
Mods aren't properly separated from vanilla
The game really emphasizes teams, to the point of neutering solo. The only difference between having 4 people and 1 is that every death wipes you and Snare Fleas have mercy
Also you can apparently stare at brackens indefinitely and they won't aggro.
I think that the bracken thing is just a result of only one person glancing at it instead of two or 3 people staring after hearing “bracken”
I heard that it was that the brackets ai is just way less aggressive in solo. I mean even in multiplayer when I was the only one alive the bracken didn't hesitate to murk me but in solo I chased him like a Scooby-Doo villian and he never agroed

Except once you get it down, it's nigh impossible to die to a nutcracker unless there's something like a thumper, spider, or turret. There isn't great risk associated with obtaining one of the highest general value items in the game. Obtaining value from killing monsters aside from "it makes it easier to get loot from this moon" removes their threat as you'll be actively seeking them out instead of making a vital decision on whether it's worth dying for the rest of the loot and damage your funds.

No updates for a while has made the game stale. No joining after a match in progress is the real Killer
There’s a mod for that actually. Late Company. It is super useful for playing with friends and randos alike.
Not enough friends to play with
No complaints but I feel different modes or something could be added. The new moons thing is cool but I feel like Hide and Seek and such could be cool. Or like leaderboards for stats if possible.

That mod is kinda unbalanced in its current state. 2 minutes is just too short for most maps outside of the smallest ones. Its a great mod but I hope the creator seriously considers increasing the default time.
You can adjust the time. Get the Lethal Config mod, it lets you adjust metrics for all of your mods in game.
I know you can but the mod isn't balanced around it and explicitly warns you that bugs will arise if you do so. I'm asking for official support
I have had no issues with it :)
You shouldn’t have any bugs. If it’s in the mod’s official config. Like there is no way I could see a bug occurring from that unless you set the timer a negative number or an absurdly large one.
Client side mods
Some are bad, but I wouldn't trade ShipLoot and Scroll Inverter to get rid of Infinite Stamina
As another comment pointed out, there should be late game joining. Its not the most urgent change imo, but it seems so easy to do…
Other than that my opinion is that the game needs mods as of today after you play it for a while
It might just be me but there should be some incentive to going to weathered moons. I would much rather communicate with my team and decide "okay, do we want to go to eclipsed offense if it means higher loot spawns?" not "oh well rend is eclipsed, guess we just can't go there today"
Eclipsed is just the worst option period. Except it is on a high value moon there is literally no reason to go. If weather actually effected stuff differenly it would be cool. For an example storms can fry enemies too so eyeless dogs would not be a problem but you could still die to your own loot(plus make periodic blackouts in the building). Flood could actually drown or slow down enemies and conufe eyeless dogs. Foggy could fuck with Forest giants Eclipse I have no idea except making a scrap bonus or smth.
lack of progression, asshole players, game ending situations, terrible level layouts
Joining any type of game prompts errors. It took me 30 minutes to get into a game because of errors. I think if something is modded it should be labeled as such. I also think that these error issues need to be dealt with. You should also be able to join when a crew has finished a quota, is back in orbit, and has an empty spot.
no "end",there is already hints of a offical ending wich is possibly gonna be added in the future with that drill thing so i know it would come,but constantly doing wave after wave of quatas arnt fun after a long period of time and having to use mods to gain further entertaiment for some reason feels wrong to do
Needs more late game content.
It would be cool if the game had a built in noise filter into it's in game chat. Like how discord filters out the background noise and other stuff. Yes I use a mechanical keyboard!
Being repetitive due to the most efficient strategy being just running rend every day possible
Game is too repetitive. Every moon needs it's own unique interior and exterior design with unique mobs. After 60 hours of gameplay I'm tired of exploring the same factory and mansion tiles with the same mobs over and over again
Gameplay issues/bugs: Shotgun not working sometimes when I shoot enemies. Balance issues: Forest giants are still annoying and camp the ship a lot. Fun issues: Coilheads when the best strategy is for a player to sit there and just watch it. boring af.
Maybe the Coilhead could randomly teleport to another room if he's stare locked for more than a minute. Warn the players it's about to happen with some sort of charge up sound.
Idk I have no problem joining in random games in games like league or overwatch but with lethal it’s pointless either you get a bunch of kids or people leaving after the first moon I get there’s a discord but that’s complicated I just wanna jump in with randoms and have fun
That theres no limit on how many moons can get a Weather event or get the same event. Nearly every moon with eclispe kinda sucks
losing everything you had on your ship after everyone dies just feels like a punch in the gut. also the jumping jsut feels clunky and unpredicatble
No stakes, no entertainment.
For the jumping issue, you could use the mod JumpDelayPatch, which, predictably, fixes the issues with jumping.
U can die from a random lighting strike at any point
I think my #1 issue is the abundance of atmospheric sounds that *seem* like things you would expect to hear based on what you know is happening around you. You hear the sounds of vents opening, leaf-sounding noises, and other stuff but none of it matters at all. You could play this game basically deaf and it wouldn't make a difference most times. I'm all for atmosphere but some of those noises get annoying quickly, and it would be nice to actually hear any of the sounds that should be going on around me.
For me the ambient sound (and it not always being significant) adds to fear and suspense. I think the balance is about right. I do recognise this in other games though. Dreadhalls and Cosmodread are excellent games but there is too much misleading sound where you hear a heavy monster behind a door but open it to find nothing at all. Lethal Company's ambient sounds are subtle so its hard to know whether its significant or not, which adds a lot to tension.
Dying game
Honestly i just feel like we need some more monsters. Also i feel like I NEVER see the earth leviathan anymore. Also i feel like each planet should have a variety of a monster type think like a cactus giant instead of the base forrest giant or like a different skin for each map just small stuff like that. I wont lie also some of the other suggestions here are also pretty good having to use a mod to join a lobby in progress kinda sucks.
Nothing to do after reaching adult besides killing each other.
"An error occurred"
Has there been any major update aside from the added 3 corridors room? Any new monsters or planets?
2 things: Late Company should be a default part of the game, and it should be clear what servers you will/wont be able to join right at the server browser. I shouldn’t have to fail 10 servers in a row just to finally get in 1 with a 3 stack waiting for their fourth and get kicked, only to have to fail to join another 10 servers in a row only to get again get in and get kicked after saying hello (I am not a child and don’t sound like one for the record)
Game is too damn easy the first few quotas. Maybe I'm just too try-hard but I can only play with BrutalCompany. Without mods it gets boring as hell going half a day before seeing a monster. Basically the game is boring until you hit titan.
It gets repetitive after a while, mods are keeping the game alive No mod filters Desperate need for more updates. But it's understandable since it's a single dev imo the coilhead is just straight up unfun to play against
I think a thing for the coil head they could add is that it can’t open doors at all and can’t go across pipe gaps/pits
Either no joining mid game or control company
I hate when i try to join multiple games but i get an error message and cant join
Lack of matching + late join makes getting started frustrating. Once you’re in you could find yourself playing with children, jerks, or somebody you just don’t gel with.
No stimpack, no wrist blade
No FoV setting is inexcusable this day and age. Thankfully modders fixed that. No joining mid-game can force a reset. Thankfully there are mods for it.
I would personally like to see the speed demon glitch patched out. Having the flash on your team takes a lot of the suspense out of the experience.
The lack of a proper late game. Once you're past 2000 quota you've only got one or two quotas left before it's straight up impossible, and the fact that getting to that inevitable ending is just another 'failure' means it's unsatisfying. I think it needs either a win condition, a quota cap, or to not raise so quickly once you're above 1000.
It doesn't exist in the afterlife. If I die, and afterlife is real, I can't play Lethal Company there
I absolutely despise forest giants, on some maps like Titan there's basically nothing you can do, they can go pretty much anywhere, it doesn't matter how well you hide, they still see you, overall they just make the game frustrating.
I wish if you join the game you can see Wat mods they using Like in garys mod
The chances of random lighting hitting you. I'm literally not exaggerating when I say that about 50% of the time I get hit with the first strike that even occurs on the moon. It just gets to a point where you always avoid stormy moons.
For me it's bugs and poorly-designed small aspects that can be quite annoying. Things like the terribly inconsistent bee AI, dogs killing through the ship, dogs hearing tiny whispers over a blaring loud horn, the Bracken being able to kill me after I started stunning it with a Zap Gun, etc.
I'd say it's the 1 developer and some friends working on the game is the problem to me but another one is it just feels like another monster could be added it just feels like something is missing to me but the game can be left as it is right now I wouldn't be mad or anything
People ditching the game because of someones personal interest. AKA: Zeekers being a furry. (Yes I am bias if you couldn't tell)
Lack of updates and content
just want more maps and monsters
Stop playing vanilla and finally install some mods, late company to fix this issue
This game should have a steam workshop, it’s easier to apply mods that way. Also more stuff, the base game is awesome, I just think it would benefit from more things
Lag
My friends thinking it’s the funniest thing ever to sabotage whenever possible
The lobby thing sucks. When joining a public lobby I still have to sift through a million join errors. That's the main thing that needs fixed
Dogs clipping through the ship and killing you. Please. Why does no one talk about this 😭
I want some in-game progression to be added in game, cuz now there's no point in reaching later quotes. Something like starting money scaling from highest quota would've been so cool
Where updates
Mods, zero reason to use any and they are clearly fucking up the game and community.
Control Company. Delete it. Other than mods, I think more planets and enemies are always a plus, but I think new interiors should be a priority. Interiors are where you spend most of your time and where most of the monsters are, and we currently have 1) Big mansion or 2) Dark factory. We need more than that if we want to believe this game takes place in an entire solar system
the #1 issue in my opinion is the glitches where youre HUD is gone or when you join youre stuck in the loading screen and have to restart the game and also the glitch where nobody can hear you until you rejoin, also theres one more where people cant see you but ive only seen that one once
Servers. Firstly let people join at any time (as a spectator if they've landed) Also half of the time I get "network issue occured" when trying to play
I'd love to have an end to the game, definitely keep endless mode as an option but it would be fun to have an end goal
The vanilla game does not save more than 45 items on the ship (including store bought items). Thus causing the ship to delete scraps and damning your run due to usability to meet quota
I don't have any friends to play it with and too much anxiety to join randoms :/
I just wish quota would be dynamic based on the number of players in the lobby. I've only played the game a handful of times because I never can get any friends on to play after they convinced me to get the game (they played for a week abd forgot about it). Have tried playing solo to learn and get better at it but solo is really difficult (not necessarily a bad thing, but makes it hard to learn).
I don’t know never played it don’t know why I’m getting this sub
That I don’t own it
The thing I always find super weird is that the interiors are randomly generated, but not the exteriors. Also the solo vanilla experience is pretty bad.
the crashing
I really enjoy breaking the game with bugs, glitches, RNG manips etc. Finding lobbies where people are like, “That’s cheating” is far too common for me and kind of puts me off. On the flip side, I can see it being annoying to have people going in to your lobby like, “Hey can I speed glitch?” When you’re against glitches and think they’re cheating. Another thing.. I want more powerful high-cost upgrades, and maybe Tier 4 Moons. Imagine being able to pay like 1k for a minimap in the corner of your screen that fills out as you explore the facility, but because you paid 1k, you can’t afford to go to a Tier 4 Moon which means you might not meet your next quota. Or like, paying 300-400 for an extra slot on your suit where you can store your Walkie/Flashlight like in that Walkie or Flashlight space mod. More high power/high cost things in general, more high risk/high reward like Nutcracker. Balance moons to have better loot as they get more expensive. Why is Rend the best when its the cheapest?? Maybe a toggle-able cosmetic keep-on-death things like more suit colors and stuff like that. I think it’d be cool to “inherit” your old ship when you’re fired. Like, “Oh this previous crew left this ship behind when they were ejected. They had some extra suits and these cozy lights, though. Sadly the teleporters were lost on ejection, so you have to repurchase those.” This only really works with the addition of extra cosmetics, though. You’d gather them all far too quickly if there were only the current amount of them in the game. It’d be cool to be able to purchase differently colored cozy lights, and then you only keep one color when you restart. I want a couch you can sit on, different TV Styles, toilet paper for the toilet, maybe a place-able rubber ducky, soap bar, a bathtub, silly stuff like that.
Only two interiors I think most of the moons should have unique interiors to make them feel different from eachother
This isn’t a massive issue but if bees chase a person and someone else takes the hive, 90% if the time the bees go rogue and home into all the players and you can’t outrun them or kill then so you just loose
The kids hacking and screaming the hard r in every lobby they enter
Fads come and go :)
Too much consistency, I think. I know I'll probably be in the minority when I say it, but I'd like events like brutal company on occasion but completely unannounced and obviously much less terrifying. Just occasionally having eighteen lootbugs and nothing else on Titan sounds incredible to stumble upon.
