I used to be. With all of Chucklefish’s weirdness around its development, it’s hard to enjoy the game as much…
Have you tried any mods at all? There are so many, they really make it great! I didn’t start playing until after they had already abandoned it :( so I don’t know anything about their weirdness …
I didn’t even know they were weird about it. That’s a bummer it turned people off the game…
I played it a lot vanilla but I have been hesitant to try some of the bigger mods because I hear a bit too hardcore for my liking. I wish the game was more fleshed out, but I don’t want it to be a constant struggle.
I agree that most the added mods are too much – I absolutely do not recommend Frackin’ Universe, for example.
Buuuuut I have a small collection here that I enjoyed when I first started playing 2 ish years ago: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2718466911. Not too extensive!!
The controversy was one thing, but the game itself really could’ve used more optimisation. I played through once and now occasionally go back and play with mods on, and the performance issues really does make you wish the game ran better.
Have you tried the mods that attempt to optimize it? I use one called “more threads” or something and OptimizeBound.
