I have 230 hours logged into this game. I have 8 of the 16 glyphs. 3 days ago I had 0. The ONLY reason I have that many is I spent the last 20 in game hours warping, go to space station, find traveler? No. Warp again, go to space station. Find traveler? No. Repeat this process until finally after an hour or 3 you find the traveler. Find his grave, get 1 glyph.
I also get the space suit inventory upgrade, and the one from the annomoly. Only recently found out you can get suit tech slots expanded the same way.
Now my usual thoughts is that warping for the sake of finding travelers/upgrades goes against the whole foundation of this game. But I just got someone new into this game, and I KNOW she isn’t going to find the 16 glyphs fast. I hadn’t made any attempt to get them, and I hadn’t found one in 190 hours.
My only hope is to do the glyph finding fast on my own, and hopefully she can send me a picture of her glyphs using her cell phone. Then I can come to her.
But I don’t feel bad for cheating like that, when EVERYTHING in this game is a grind.
i always called this cheesing. Like beating a big boss by perching somewhere they can’t hit and range attacking.
That’s called exploitation. Game exploits do not always mean cheating but sort of are. It’s taking advantage of the game mechanics.
So… Sniping is cheesing? Exploiting the mechanics of the game is what led to the invention of ranged weapons, much less weapons at all. For example. 🤷🏼♂️
There are a ton of examples of how exploits/bugs became features or developed into other things.

This isn’t even that though. This is just playing the game with a singular focus, they’re doing nothing to cut corners or speed up the loop, just not doing other activities in between.
It’s nuts to me that OP can even remotely consider this cheating.
