      Playing my first non-vanilla run with Krastorio right now, and it feels like I’m playing a whole new game. I can basically kiss my life goodbye… again.

        I’ve got 1500 hours on unmodified Factorio. If I installed mods I probably would waste away in front of my screen.

        Which would be bad because then the factory would stop growing.

          Install the Bob Angels suite of mods.

          It’s the same game, just more ores, liquids, and things to do.

          Takes about 120 hours to finish a run through.

            I’ve heard this pack can be overly complex, but I know one day I’ll give into it and never be seen again.

              It’s not really.

              Start with just Bob’s mods suite then.

              That alone just adds the extra ores, and not too much else. Really good introduction to an easier overhaul mod. Takes.about 60 hours to finish at a first go

          Yeah, I was tempted to try K2 + SE, but the last ounce of my sanity kicked in at the last second. It’s definitely next up, though.

    Just one more turn, man. That’s all I need. Then Ghandi will pay. C’mon man I’ll go to sleep right after, I promise.

    Minecraft. There’s always another automatic farm to create, a new cave to explore and a new mod to try out! Not to mention the fun that multiplayer brings…

      I’m currently playing a modpack called Divine Journey 2 which I started back in the middle of October. 280 hours in and still in chapter 11 of the quest book (30 chapters in total) and it’s still addictive and enjoyable.

          I’m very glad that you’re liking it so far. The tips you see at the bottom left of the world loading screens are actually very helpful so don’t miss them

        That’s why there’s mods! Also, if the caves get samey, you can always go end-busting or build a new project.

        My groups new obsession is Vintage Story. Set up a server and we’ve collectively put in hundreds of hours over the last few months.

        Help.

    Elite: Dangerous has lots of players that complain all day and play all night. Probably EVE too

      I found Elite: Dangerous incredibly cool. How many chances will we get to explore some version of our solar system? I know the game feels empty, but I found it relaxing for the same reason truck simulator is relaxing, just cruising and enjoying the scenery

    RimWorld, I have hundreds of hours of playtime, (not including my previous extralegal copy) and now I am obsessed with:

    • human nuggets (not that kind) (not immediately, anyways)
    • organ harvesting
    • human leather cowboy hats (and dusters)
    • greenhouses (for weed* and cocaine)
    • how do I fit the new turrets in my existing killbox

    *not actually true, it’s all coke

        I end up resubbing every few years and just spin something cool endlessly, or get caught in WIS (RIP), or the ship map thing, or the exoplanet research project (RIP). I was really pissed the last time though at how expensive it has become. And I didn’t like the covid research minigame.

    Ark. The original anyways, I refuse to buy 1.5. It was a poorly optimized piece of shit full of broken crap yet I couldn’t stay away. That is, until, it became so bloated I couldn’t fit it on my SSD anymore.

        The only saving grace on it was that if you were on private servers that were mostly PVE, you could just capture them all in cryopod and then you only had to log in like once every two or three weeks instead of every 3 days cuz all you have to do is generator

      I did all my time in single player because if I got to some dumb unoptimized/bug I could cheat my way back because fuck them. I too will not buy this BS 1.5 either. They had their chance. I’m still bitter that instead of fixing the base game they got dollar signs in their eyes and just started releasing dlc.

        Everyone was pissed when they started putting out DLC in a busted ass early access so they just went all ‘mission accomplished’ and said the game was done.
