You can equivocate over whether the game has remaining design holes (I don't think it does), but I think the statement that there is insufficient structural support for long term gameplay is true. There are a lot of areas that appear in the game but don't have any significant substance to them and I think this is the last remaining area that needs to be addressed before the game can be called feature complete (whatever that means).

For example;
Faction relationships that go beyond red or green numbers
A research/social policy system that contains proper progression/consequences
Deeper colonist-colonist interaction

These are obviously just pulled from thin air, but the greatest issue I have with the game currently is that most of the content is compacted. Needing to set up a temperature controlled area, establishing a food supply, building housing, setting up defenses all happen quite early and I'd like to see some overarching systems that drive the game forward/create emergent gameplay after that.

Either way, I've had fun playing and streaming the game and have gotten sufficient entertainment out of it :)
All the best for the future!

If you select a colonist in game in their information panel you can change their name, at least last time I checked, if not I'll add that in.

You can change their nickname, but not their actual name. Normally that would be fine, but I was wanting to name the characters after people.

Hi. I registered specifically to post here, because your tool seemed to be exactly what I wanted. Is there functionality for changing names? I imagine it's possible, if they're stored in a discrete location/variable. I'm doing an LP for some friends and wanted to name the characters after them :)

Cheers for any advice on finding how to do this.
