| Summary | 0029768: "Paving Over Squalor" and the refugee tower get lost in the deluge of unlocks after Grand Theft Aero | ||||
| Description | GTA unlocks the following stuff: * Paving Over Squalor * Refugee tower * Drone factory, if you don't have it already * Engine killer drones * Aircraft hangar * Delivery craft * Readied idea: Weaponized Flight (Cutter) * Scandium * Scavenger's Eye That's a lot of stuff. So much, in fact, that on my monitor the toast stack won't fit on the screen. It's all necessary, though - except "Paving Over Squalor" and the refugee tower, which aren't related to being able to build aircraft. I know *why* they're unlocked at this stage - it's presumably because the hangar is so big that not being able to squash tents when placing it might leave the player unable to put it anywhere. However, this creates a bit of a problem. Due to the huge toast stack, it's very easy for the player to completely miss that they can now squash tents. This results in accidentally killing people, not through carelessness, but through not knowing it was even possible to build over tents and that a refugee tower is needed. To alleviate this issue, I'd suggest moving the "Paving Over Squalor" and refugee tower unlocks to earlier in the game. The ideal place, I think, is after you get filtered water online. Alternatively, you could treat it like the unlock of Horrify and Demoralize, where the player gets a dialogue box (So Much Violence) that provides context for why the abilities are available at that time. | ||||
