Grammatical errors
English is not my native. I'm currently study it, but I still pretty far from perfection. So I have created this thread with a simple request for you to leave here reports on any grammatical errors you may encounter during playing. Screenshots will do, also you may mention a name of related item, I'd be really grateful. Thank you.

Collector: crafting station

Current: This machine can capture whatever left of what once was alive

Correction: This machine can capture whatever is left of what was once was alive

Finally I can help with the grammar, starting with the race selection dialogue
Current: "Undead, unrested. Reshaped and encarnate by creature beyond understanding, they are dwells among the stars, waiting, watching. With Silence, their eternal leader, they are preparing for something that about to come."

What I would suggest: "Undead, restless, reshaped and incarnated by creatures beyond understanding. They dwell among the stars, waiting, watching. With Silence, their eternal leader, they are preparing for something about to happen."

I'm making it my mission to improve all the dialogue, so how could I send it all over so I don't spam this discussion?

This discussion was created to be overflowed by posts, but if you wish not to spam, then you could send it with personal messages, or post a single reply with a list, i guess

What if I send a document through Google docs?

That is an option, too

Then as soon as I finish that, I'll send it over

Lots of grammatical errors, I barely know where to start... But I used to work as a beta-reader, catching spelling mistakes, grammatical errors and oddly worded sentences. So if you want someone to go over the raw data and clean it out from top to bottom, I'd be happy to assist! :D It's a really cool mod and a really cool and unique angle. I like it, a lot, so if I can help to fix those little mistakes, I'd be happy to lend my help.

I won't insist, but I don't mind help. If you would ask access, or my commentary to certain file or dialog, I will provide it.
Even if you can't help, I am grateful for the offer
I encountered a shadow npc in a shape shrine who only says "Final solution..."
i immediately high tailed it off of the planet after talking to the npc, because i made the connection that the term is what the nazi party used to refer to the holocaust
(spoilered for nazi and holocaust mentions)
I would like to ask if this was an intentional addition to the dialogue, or if you meant something else by this phrase

Wow... I knew nothing about this phrase being cinnected to nazis. Though, considering shadows views on the universe I could say that this phrase is reflection of pain caused by nazis, but it is not what I had in mind by writing it

Thanks, I'll have a look at it tomorrow. I think I can go through it in the mod files provided, but I am not sure. I'll let you know though!

Really sorry I am only getting back to you now, but stuff came up on my end. I should be free for a while now, though :D As for the grammatical clean-up, I will need access to the files as I don't have them on my end. I'd still be more than happy to help as this is a very interesting mod and I'd love to see what you're going to do with it.

I'm going to ask you to add me to your friends list in steam, so we would not overflood this thread
