    My friend and I tried to get into Abiotic Factor, I love the setting, I love the premise, but we had a very difficult time getting a foot hold where we were just dying of starvation over and over. I need to circle back and try the game again, the same thing happened with Subnautica, took a few tries to get enough momentum to get established and have fun exploring.

      One of you needs to be dedicated cook…why didn’t you cook? Grow food too…and cook it.

      Once you get soup, which is early…it’s stupid easy

        We didn’t catch the fact that the rubble covered stove in the cafeteria early on works. So we never found a way to cook food, eventually we found another oven, but it was broken and we had no idea where to get the parts to repair it. We went back to the beginning to cook food, but the logistics of trying to haul things with our limited inventories back and forth to get food and also explore became unfun so we quit.

        In solo, soups can last you the entire game.

        I love that the devs keep adding more foods to cook and mess with though. The chef RP possibilities with this game are growing quite a bit
