The game devs are listing to mutch what the community wants. A little bit is ok but changing a mechanic for mining after 1.0 because some whiners on the forum wants to. This is not a good base for a game. And the future doesn’t seem bright anymore

This major nerf to bombs as made them utterly useless…are you guys trying to push people away from your games with all these nerfs, because that is exactly what is going to happen!

You do understand that this argument apply to your side as well? There are thousands of players in boundless. I see maybe a dozen users in those threads about bombs who are outraged enough to speak.
Well that goes both ways too Elrood. Boundless forums are not exactly the most active of communities and a small fraction of the player base responds here regardless of their opinion one way or the other.
With less than 2000 people on line at a time regardless its going to be small group wise.

Totally agree. Still look how much people answer pulls about next features vs how much care about bombs enough to speak here 
I don’t like these changes, this game is not even a month old, how can it be that the bombs are so useless now. They never thought about it before bringing 1.0
The nerf just went in.
Its mid day most of us are at work. If my wife hadn’t told me on discord I wouldnt know.
Theres going to be a blow back on this for sure, just not till 6pm or so tonight and even bigger on the weekend.

We will see. I wouldn’t bet that much on it, still both are just ours opinions.
Considering gems pricing that was 400 - 450 is about to spike to over 1000 its going to affect just about everyone and thats not an opinion.

We will see how this shakes out. Lots of features are still waiting to be added (like private and semi-private servers).
This change is certainly annoying and discouraging. There are much better ways to have dealt with it, like buffing hammer mining, changing radius boost forging, or spreading more mined resources across T4, T5 and T6 worlds such that optimizing to mine on T5 would not be an optimal solution.
I don’t think a lot of people will drop immediately because of this. But if this is just part of a trend of unending nerfs and punishments to certain play styles and techniques, people will become discouraged over time and quit.
I’m honestly more worried about changes to making bricks and other recipes since that effects my ability to build with the materials I have been working with.

Yeah its a bit concerning that they are making drastic changes that affect the economy like this post release.
The player base is small something that has to be carefully nurtured. Boundless has lots of potential just hope they dont burn it up trying to “fix things”.
Not saying bomb mining didnt need fixing, just frustrating to have it fixed before we’ve got the curve eased.
You have zero basis for this statement.

you dont need to hit the cuttletrunk, the bomb allready explodes if its nearby the cuttle.

Cuttletrunks don’t get real close many times, so I have enough trouble getting the bombs particularly close to them.
Is there a trick to throwing bombs further?
This stopped being a crowd funding game long before you even heard about it.

Click and hold the bomb till the fuse is almost out, if you’re not doing that already.
Thanks! I’ll give this a try

I recently made a “Hunter” character, and once I started getting up into the mid-20s levels and was hunting on tier 4/5 planets, I realized that the healing you get from being full, and the healing epic were both completely useless. I’m finally hunting again because I was able to forge myself some healing bombs. I don’t understand what you’re saying here. Without some form of healing, combat seems useless because after you start taking damage, it takes absolutely forever to heal.
Are healing brews more useful than they used to be in Early Access? I remember them being completely useless compared to bombs for healing.
I only heal with brew personally, and they work fine, a lvl3 pot gives 3250hp if I remember correctly.
