Just the thought of further scaling the beast of a factory I made, again, to deal with all the added complexity makes me want to purge that game from my Steam account. No thanks, I am not interested in additional slog for its own sake.
- Uehreka 6y agoAt a certain point I definitely get to the “wait, I’m just managing complexity in a game, if I’m gonna do this, I should actually make something” thought, and then I stop. But there’s something really satisfying about watching a huge but well oiled mechanism perform its motions, and that’s why I personally like this game.
- pm90 6y agoIt’s certainly a personal preference. I experienced exactly what you meant on my first run. Launched a rocket after a lot of slog, and lost interest after that. But I never got to actually use eg the nuclear tech very much, which itself makes me want to go back and try it again. Personally, I wish there were more combat/enemy dynamics involved rather than “just” insectoids swarming the base. And that’s just one angle: other compelling reasons to build more efficient factories would have made me want to go back too. I try every now and then to start from scratch, but just the idea of starting from the basics seems so daunting and not motivating enough so I kinda just give up after the first day.
