I need to get back into this game I’ve only ever scratched the surface and then feel like I need to start over from the beginning every time I revisit so I can remember what I was doing. I freaking love trains though.
I keep trying to start, but quickly encounter perhaps overly strong negative feelings towards being a person destroying a fictional alien ecosystem for corporate greed, and quit again.
I run into the same problem when trying to play games like Before We Leave (iirc that title), which involves carpet-industrializing entire planets so that you can make rockets go do the same thing to even more planets.
Maybe when the story aspect is finished, if it’s done well/is satisfying and involves escaping and or one-upping the corp, then I’ll finally play it. 🙃
It’s only a fictional videogame! Haha! I can understand the feels though. I’ve been replaying the Mass Effect Trilogy recently and had decided to go full renegade for the lols, I got half way through the first game and realized I just wanted to feel good and decent about my choices and restarted for yet another paragon run! 😂
if automation is your jam but the colonizing aspect isn’t (totally respect that), shapez may interest you. I think they have a free browser version to try it out too!
Try Factorio, maybe. Eco destruction is core to the gameplay narrative.
I’ll always be one to encourage people to get into Satisfactory. As a user with 1100ish hours
The dystopian billboards along the walkways are a nice touch.
I try to keep morale high when we’re back at the hub
Are trains well done in this game? I’m not super into the automation process but I love building trains and ferrying resources.
I’m very happy with them, currently I have about 40 trains running constantly and over 60 stations
I came to the same realisation. Brilliant game with so much to do… and I spend 99% building a giant railway.
I realized when I started adding 4 track mainlines around the map that it was going to be a huge part of my time.
