I like the new models but the controls don't feel right and missing tools from the original gmod arent all there.

Помойка на подобие Roblox. У Garrys Mod есть много преимуществ - Он одиночный, не требует интернет (если оидночная). А s&box требует интернет. Инетрнет хороший, но войти не могу! Полная херня.

I have been playing since the beta, i know this is a long term project but it isnt complete enough to be considered a full game, there needs to be some type of mod intergration for sandbox it was the only thing keeping it alive and more of the old iconic tools.

it is great and gives some nostalga. but it needs a lot of featchers the og had. such as the tools and more weapons and variety. having the ability to subscribe to addons to eliminate the need to download the data would be much appreciated, along with the ability to download addons that act as frameworks for other feachers such as ui or even physics and npc behavior

It's all workshop content and content from other games. And less features than Garry's Mod 10+ years ago.

I hope facepunch sees this. Because it has SO much promise along with everything else in this game. I just hope they stick with the optimization.

its shit, the physics are shit, dupe tool is shit, hydralic tool is shit, shitty clustered material menu, no quick way to make objects transparent, hoverballs and thrusters can't be made transparent, the wheels are shit and break constantly and theres no way to manually weld them on - have to easy weld them which breaks the physics often, the workshop (or lack there of) is shit, the search menu breaks if you get no results for an item. no explosive tool so you have to manually spawn explosives and then inspect them which is total shit, the chairs are shit and have massive invisible hitboxes so you have to no collide the whole contraption (car chair), the random props and entities are shit. I want to just make a shitty car but its like doing something with your hands tied behind your back.

I have some general concerns about the game itself actually. From what I understand, the traditional workshop system has been removed and replaced by a system where everything is directly integrated into the spawn menu. The idea seems to be making things more convenient for players, avoiding long download times before starting a game. While this may sound good on paper, I personally find that, it actually sucks. With the old Garry's Mod workshop, creators could include images, descriptions, and even videos for their content. This made it much easier to understand what you were downloading or spawning. Now, it often feels unclear what you are actually adding into your game, slops or not. In addition, the ability to review, rate, and support creators through the workshop was a major strength that now seems to be missing... Also, How are we now going to create our own tools for the tool menu ? How are we going to change our own playermodels like in Gmod ? How are we going to modify the animations ? Decals for NPCs when they bleed ? There is SOOO much things that feels unfinished right now or that are missing and that's fine for some things, i mean i know how gmod worked , i have like 10K hours on it , i know that it aged like fine wine and i hope this game will too ! But for now I just can't recommend it and i'm quite worried about the fact that there is no workshop because i feel like the game now offers fewer possibilities, and that this will only become more noticeable over time... We should be able to customize our entire game just like in Gmod, that was so cool !
