About 20 years ago I played world of warcraft every day and every awaken hour of the day or just about. School was over and I lived with my parents and was “looking for work”. Let’s just say that I played vanilla so much that I had guild members calling in the middle of the night to get together for world boss killing.
Since then I have realized that is not how to go about in life and last time i really got stuck was with Factorio.
Probably game of the year for me. Such a rollercoaster of emotions every time I sat down and played. Still have to play the bits after the story is over.
You can play without biters. Just pick the option before you start the map. Or pick friendly mode to have them there but they never bother you until you attack them is also an option. A lot of settings before you start a new game, check them out :)
I played Factorio first and since my friends are “done with Factorio” (not sure what’s wrong with them but I think I need new friends) I agreed to play satisfactory with them. It was fun for a couple of hours then it just started tobuild up rage inside of me because of so many strange or stupid design decisions the devs made. When we got to trains and I started building that was when I hit my rage limit and boiled over. My god those stations are huge and the unloading was the most stupid shit ever. Then all the small finicky tricks you can do to slim your builds… And this you want to learn/do since blueprints are small. Don’t get me started… Never started the game again after we were done but have a couple of hundred more hours in Factorio since then :)
This. Fuck reddit
But the update is so much more work than a horse armor dlc which is a lot of money for no content.
Even if repair was encouraged it would take time to change how people think. As someone who does repairs I do notice how often people just ask for replacements instead even if it’s just a small easy thing to switch out. I tell them no, I fix it. That said, the things is repair is often fast and done in less than an hour if I have parts already.
It breaks me mentally but I can’t stay away… I NEED THE CRACKTORIO!!
I also tried to get diriger games to install with heroic, lutfisk or whatever but never got it to work. Threw the installer to steam and it just works. Weird… So I just do everything through steam now instead of messing around.
