      Funny you mention this with a LiS - the OG game originally being a periodic game.

      Luckily the fate of periodic games died fast.

      I miss my games being on solid media that I can trade with my friends or sell at a game store.

      But I would not give up the seven seas to have that back again.

      DLC existed in some form long before digital-only releases existed. We just used to call them expansions, and people used to buy them in droves.

      Edit: All those downvoting me clearly weren’t alive during the shareware boom, or during EA’s early attempts to extort players for the pleasure of having a potted plant in The Sims. This outrage over DLC is just an echo chamber of angry gamers who aren’t the target audience anyway.

              Each new planet is basically an overhaul mod. They did a great job incorporating the best parts of Space Exploration, Krastorio, Seablock, and a couple mods that either they made up entirely, or I didn’t know the names of.

              Also the overhauls to the fluid handling and circuit networks make everything so much easier. I’m actually learning how to use circuits and trains, and I only have about 3000 hours of gameplay in vanilla.

              My best advice is to rush bots, and leave even more space in-between your modular builds. Holy crap do I have some spaghetti because of squeezing things into my bus.

        You mean Maple Story?

        Horse Armor/Bethesda was not the solitary cause of what we have today, even if it was pretty ridiculous.
