SaltEMike reacts to the Roadmap Roundup on November 1, 2023, expressing his surprise at the update and discussing the progress tracker changes, the new mission called Data Heist, and the player hair update in version 3.2.2. He also mentions the addition of Structural Salvage and the ability to sort items in cargo containers, expressing excitement for these updates and confusion about others being upset about the roadmap.
In his video reaction to the Roadmap Roundup on November 1, 2023, SaltEMike expresses that he wasn’t aware of the update or the details included in it. He mentions playing the PTU without reading patch notes, so he is somewhat out of the loop. He starts by discussing the progress tracker changes, specifically noting the Cutter Scout and Zeus MK2. He wonders about the delivery time for the Zeus and suggests checking the progress tracker for updates.
Moving on, he mentions that the 3.2.11 release will include a mission called Data Heist, where players have to hack into servers and reactivate the cooling system. Although he finds it to be similar to other missions, he still thinks it looks okay. He then explains that the meat of the update will be in version 3.2.2, which includes a player hair update that was showcased at CitizenCon. He clarifies that it’s not the second part of the hair update, but rather an update to existing short hair styles.
One of the main features in 3.2.2 is Structural Salvage, previously referred to as vehicle bunching. SaltEMike mentions that it involves transforming salvage from ships into a refinable material, which he speculates could be titanium or other minerals. He emphasizes that this is an important step before crafting can be implemented. Another feature mentioned is the ability to sort items in cargo containers, allowing players to organize smaller containers within larger ones.
SaltEMike briefly mentions the Santoki ship and wonders whether the three variants mentioned in the monthly report correspond to the X1. He then recalls some features showcased at CitizenCon that were intended for 3.2.2 but are not mentioned in the roadmap, such as Cloud Tech, settlements, UI updates, and new Quantum effects. He concludes by expressing excitement for the structural salvage update, as it offers an alternative to mining and appeals to players who prefer a more relaxed gameplay experience.
Overall, SaltEMike is positive about the roadmap updates and expresses confusion about people being upset, finding the hair update, inventory changes, and structure salvage to be exciting additions to the game.
