Why is it so hard just to make a GMOD copy? With workshops, etc. This has nothing to do with GMOD. Please just make this like GMOD 2.

I understand why would you like to improve the Sandbox, but why would you waste the props menu like that ? Maybe the old UX wasn't that great, but at least the UI looked great. This 2003 gmod reproduction just looks like any steam sandbox copy slop.

Gonna put it here as i have no clue where else to report it, the no target feature works a bit too well... as it makes hostile and friendly ai not target eachother at all as well..

This gamemode should have been finished and the main priority of this game to bring in the players but sadly it's been COMPLETELY IGNORE. I cannot recommend this gamemode to anyone as it feels old and outdated compared to community made versions... PLEASE ACTUALLY MAKE SANDBOX GOOD FACEPUNCH.

This is so confusing why this gamemode clearly wasnt made a priority in the games development. You have the ultimate guide for how to make this game with GMod. Just make it like Gmod with an updated UI and engine. Then, look at the top downloaded mods for GMod and use those as a guide for additional features. WE ALSO NEED ACTUAL STUFF TO PLAY WITH. YOU DROPPED US INTO A SANDBOX WITH NO TOYS. We need some actual fun stuff to play with. Take the time to develop some actual quality NPCS too, and give us some options to play around with them. Also, make the movement more satisfying, stop going for realism. Gabe Newell said it best "What's fun about realism?"

I think the architecture is a bit odd, I am more used to making my own curated list of addons and sharing that list (steam workshop) instead of having everything load from the cloud, ideally we should be able to choose what we get in sandbox (NPCs, weapons, Props etc.) Edit: I think the change with the maps and the steam workshop is a step in the right direction, the UI is familiar from the old gmod and has some scaling issues, still not finished or something I would recommend but improving.

The toybox style spawn menu really sucks, especially for online. A big part of GMod Sandbox was curating your own experience. Here everything just blends together as a generic smorgasbord and meaningful modding beyond props and weapons can barely exist. This level of personalization combined with a server browser is what allowed GMod Sandbox to be so diverse in experience and replayable rather then just a physic showcase.

boring as hell you cant do really much spawn objetcs and NPCs and using some tools but thats all, the perfomance is trash i spawn only 4 npcs and the game goes to 60-70 fps to 10 fps and when NPCs shoot or take action, it looks absolutely terrible gmood addons that improve their behavior are 100% better i really can't say much other than how disappointing this attempt to bring the Garry's Mod sandbox to Source 2 is; there's reallery nothung you can add like "addons" becuase there isn't any. this needs alot of rework but s&box sadly is just a paid copy of roblox with ai generated content,

Add more NPCs to it or give the players the option to design their own as NPC templates something like Paint the Town Red, or like it is in the character menu, but they exist as separate NPCs, but used for spawning in instead of relying on whats there, and maybe add the bad guys and friendly guys category as well. Also the ragdolls could be better because it feels like the gravity is off like the timescale is turned up too high. Something like bouncy, but rigid enough that looks good when downing a NPC when using a certain type of weapon. If able to, maybe add euphoria to it. Righ now, it doesn't feel good, but that is just me being too spoiled from the platoons of mods coming from the original game.

I dont like that the workshop is downloaded on the spot, as someone with bad internet that leaves functionality unaccessible if i lose internet or would perfer to play offline i would also perfer to only see what i have installed only
