I'm running into a problem of not being able to bind keys to anything other than the mouse. I don't know if you fixed the bug where binds do nothing but they do nothing for me AT ALL. I cannot reset binds with a re-install and cannot find where the settings file is.

I tried the demo, there's not much but It's still a really fun game especially for £2.50, If i had money I would buy it now after just played the demo.

Nice work!

By default tutorials are turned on, they describe input and how to play when you start a new game. If you miss any of the tutorials there's a "restart tutorials" button to see them again. Let me know if the instructions in the tutorials could be improved :)

Tried the demo. Interesting concept. Few things that I noticed; Hot keys would randomly do nothing. The ship would do a weird stutter thing when you launched a miner. The text on the planets is extremely hard to read against the GUI overlay. Could be interesting for sure, just needs some more polish.

Hey Minerne, make sure the planet you want to act upon is highlighted before you use any of the hotkeys. Also you can left-click a planet to open the stats window if the text is hard to read. Thanks for the feedback, I'll see what I can do to improve it!

Hey Planetshippers thanks to your awesome feedback I've fixed a few bugs, rebalanced resources and made Easy and Normal difficulties much easier for people who enjoy tooling around in space in a more worry-free manner. Keep up the great communication and I'll keep improving the game :) Thanks!

Shuttles and miners cannot catch the planets!!!!!! I have launched countless shuttles and miners and not a one has landed on the planets because they cannot catch them. Tried launching them in front of planets, behind, to the side, you name it. As I can't gather anything from planets I can't play the game.

An easy way to tell how fast a planet is moving is to look at the length of it's tail, then hunt down the slower planets to get the resources you need. Also choosing the Easy difficulty will make the average planet orbit speed slower. I just checked in a version that makes Easy much easier in that regard and when Desura releases that build it shouldn't be so frustrating. Thanks for the feedback!
