Everyone's talking about the coding bugs but the game has an identity crisis. The survival mechanics belong in a sandbox game but this ain't no sandbox it's a straightforward "go to x, collect key, go to y" kind of game with the goal of escaping. The survival mechanics just do not really add anything to the game at all.
Survival mechanics fit better into an exploration based type thing where environments are randomly generated and maps don't show the entire environment, only filling in the map after you've explored places. This way exploration for survival becomes an interesting thing.
It would fit better if the player travelled to multiple space stations, and each station had a randomly generated map, populated with different monsters and problems. The player could sleep on their own ship or somewhere on the station while exploring them, solving the problems of the station or exploring what made it fail.
Right now the "you've crashed on a station and need to go through this linear set of quests in order to escape" plot is not really gaining anything at all from these mechanics.

as us people have GUESSED the dev might be vibe coding, we do not have proof of this only speculation
You're lucky. I haven't been able to change weapons since version 2.1.1 – I just end up getting stuck. The game has potential, but I'll wait until it's finished.
Version 2.1.5 Update Notes:
New Features:
Baby Octopus Takeover: Now playable as a cultist after losing control to the baby octopus.
Sarah can now be attacked by survivors if she acts suspiciously.
Police survivors will radio in reports if they spot Sarah's suspicious behavior.
Using [Oral Transmission], Sarah can instantly down survivors.
Dragging downed survivors to nearby spawn holes kidnaps them straight to the hatching chamber.
5 new music tracks added to safe zones.
Farms added.
Collect various seeds to tackle your food shortages.
You can now grow herbs for medicine production.
Upgrade your farms and hunt for fertilizer to boost yields.
Icons now appear on benches during construction or production.
Daily at midnight, displays your station's survival days and contamination level.
Balance Changes:
Bed sleep logic overhauled: Now only sleeps as long as you're tired, and wakes up sharp at 3 AM.
Every day at 3 AM, monsters actively hunt Sarah. This ends once morning hits.
Defense battles now run every day at 3 AM.
Unlike before, monster count is now influenced by base size, survivor numbers, and survival days.
Bug Fixes:
Fixed crosshair twisting toward the floor.
Fixed dialogue popping up during combat.
Adjusted positions for water pump and generator benches.
Fixed monsters in defense battles idling in place instead of fighting.
Fixed base survivors following the player then freezing up.
Fixed dying to crab knockback while invincible cheat is active.
Cultist skills and ending are still WIP.
New parts—general components and electronic components—now drop... but no use for them yet. Crafting features incoming soon to give them purpose!

More scuff to be found in this update. Black screen and lag when taken to nest, can’t talk to npcs, and trying to sleep softlocks. Cultist seems like a cool option but can’t find any octopi. Hope artist can sort the jank out eventually, gameplay is still really rough
Octopi only spawn as reinforcements when a crab calls for them, and only when station infection has progressed enough (from my own testing, at ~75%. might be lower, that's as low as ive seen)
However (unsurprisingly) octopi infestation is bugged and is triggering normal insemination and not the intended infestation. I've already sent the dev all the bugs I've found and, crucially, what I'm pretty sure is causing them. So, hopefully, next hotfix should fix things up.
(people are... really bad at reporting bugs in the dev's discord. yall need to give more info than just "it don't work")
I HAVE NO IDEA!!

Seriously now another update another bucket of softlocks bugs and things that are broken to the list
for those stuck in bed. I found pressing up made my character get out of bed. any one know how to get around the perm black screen after a defeat?
looks like the dev wants to do a bit of 'state of decay' survival type thing, we'll see how it plays out.

I knew the game was a bug fest (coding and fetish wise) but this is ridiculous
