> And by the way, be sure you're ready to sink some time in if you're curious about this game...it's just too good, and I've had to consciously reduce the time I'm spending, because I could just keep optimizing...building...expanding...optimizing...it's built in the shape of the reward center of my brain.

I feel the same. It scratches so many itches. I made the mistake of installing Space Exploration mod after the first run… so many hours invested now.

SE is such a deep hole to fall into. I feel for you.

>>gjulia+(OP)
SE is such a slog but I must keep going!

>>lsafer+s9
any good explainers of whats fun about SE for those who will never play it?

>>swyx+eE
It adds hundreds of hours of gameplay, new endings, multiple planets, and much longer progression chains that really push your ability to optimize to the limit.

If the base game isn’t enough to keep you interested anymore because it’s gotten too simple, space exploration is a good hand grenade to mix things up.

>>gjulia+(OP)
well, at least you didn't install sea block!

The negative thing about SE is also that it adds hundreds of hours of gameplay. I’m 200 hours in and I’ve barely made it to other planets. The 2 hours a day I have to play with it are simply not enough.
