I mentioned this in the Steam forum but I'll repeat it here.

You put the user configuration stuff for VE in the ~/Documents folder where it really doesn't belong. OSX has ~/Library/Application Support as the place for applications to store ancillary configuration and such like.

You could make a case for save games going in Documents but it's pretty atypical since these are not files a user is meant to interact with or use outside of the game.

It's not mandated but good practice to follow the customs and idioms of the host platform.

Best,

I wanted to get a better sense of how trade works in the game so I decided to create a spreadsheet of different goods at various stations to see how quantity and price changed over time. It was then that I realised that the game does not seem to have any notion of in-game time. No "star dates" here.

Is this deliberate? Or an omission due to it not having been necessary in game terms?

A couple of the quests do say "come back later" with only a fairly fuzzy definition of what later means but this does suggest that there is an internal representation of time of some kind.

Can anyone give any more detail?

Don't know why I've never thought to do this before. Just created an account to leave a review that I aim to update as we go

Thanks for confirming that. I was looking to add a series of variants on each asteroid type while waiting for more interesting asteroids to come out of the core team. m/

I'm thinking about a mod to add more interesting types of asteroid. I'm wondering when asteroids are spawned though, is that when the galaxy is first created? i.e. will this require creating an entirely new game?
