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!!
