I’m too early in the game to know this well, but I feel the lack of mod support. This feels like a game that would really thrive with community support, but they have no plans on supporting mods or open sourcing it. They are currently working on a new project that they haven’t elaborated on yet.

Still, I got this game for $14 and if I can find some people to play with I’m absolutely going to get my money’s worth - this kind of game just doesn’t exist with this level of depth. I love the technical detail of how the ship works on and how the systems interact with each other.

I just got this game and I’m having a blast, this is the style of game I’ve been hungry for for a long time.

yeah, looks like a total conversion mod

the DLC for stellaris has been recieved poorly on Steam, going by reviews. I’m a little worried this is high margin low effort attempt to squeeze even more out of it

i hope it’s good though!

yes!

It is pitch black.

dabu dabu

whawhawhawhat do you want

red alert… 2?

Seconding Amid Evil, it’s a lot of fun. Sometimes I fire it up for a quick game. Cool weapons.

I think I got this for free on Epic and I haven’t touched it, but this might change that.

ditto. I was totally surprised by the game. It’s not completely polished, but it’s totally worth playing. Might have even become one of my favourites!

I did not pay full price, and I think that was for the best; some of the jankiness was a little annoying and would have been much more so if I paid $70 or whatever.

stellaris is great lofi for working

i getcha, but it was people who did that. it’s kind of hard to shut us up, we’ll answer more questions wherever we are

most knowledge has a shelf life anyway

right! it’s the people, not the product

i think someone forgot that

the Reddit users moving over are the ones that care about social media and are willing to invest time learning new platforms. i think it’s the masses we have to worry about, and I don’t think they’ll move over until they are forced to

I don’t mind stealth as a concept in a game, but I hate forced stealth in games that aren’t like, Thief or whatever. Let me choose to be stealthy, or let me choose to be creative, or go in guns blazing, etc. If you want me to use stealth, give me a very good reason why the alternatives are much worse. It’s so frustrating to just get a “Game Over” because someone saw you.

To yes-and this: procedural content in general. No Man’s Sky is a snore-fest for me, big, empty, meaningless. Missions in Elite Dangerous and X4 are similarly pretty boring, though the former is more fun the first time around. There has to feel like there’s some world-affecting point to what you’re doing. IMO

Every now and then I play Endless Space 2, and I find it pretty comforting. Great music, ambience, etc.
