This is the fourth or fifth time that I've wasted 3+ real-time hours by working through the day/night on a long expedition to get back to base with 4+ tablets, an entire rover inventory full of much-needed components, and a trailer full of much-needed silicon only for the game to crash or me accidentally topple off a tall hill forgetting about the lower gravity and dying. As fun as this game can be, it's equally frustrating. There needs to be A) an autosave every 10-15 mintues, not just when sleeping, B) when you salvage a building, you need to either have the interior parts drop or get the components as if you had salvaged them. Perhaps that method of more efficiently salvaging the ruined bases could be the reward for upgrading the gridinder or something (I've lost TONS of components and circuit boards because I've forgotten to empty a box before picking it up to move it. REALLY pissed me off), C) Transformers need to be able to output units of power, not percentages of the input. That dynamic causes a ton of frustration and having to re-do percentages every time you add or remove a battery or solar pannel, D) Airlocks need to actually **lock air** until pressure on both sides are equal. Adding a single workshop onto an 8-building base shouldn't completely decompress the entire thing killing most of the crops. SUPER annoying. E) when opening a box/storage inventory window, it should also show your equipped items (like the workbench does). It's overly annoying to have to open and close three different windows just to do something like swap suit batteries with the battery charging stand. And F) there should be clearer instructions on how to grow crops, especially using the composter and how to 'load soil' and such. I shouldn't have to google it. I'd say introduce it into the beginning of the game when you're at the in-tact base, but most of the late game stuff happens so long after that stage that you'd forget all about it and still have to google it. As much fun as I've had playing this game for ~60 hours, I won't be playing it again or recommending it to anyone until most or all of these issues are resolved. You've got a heck of a gem here with this concept and I truely hope it comes to fruition... I can forsee myself spending hundreds of hours in this game when finished....
