MODERATORS
I don’t understand people who hate on people that cheat in singleplayer games. You are the only person affected by that and if it makes it more fun for you then why not?
I remember when I first found reddit and ventured into game subs such as for Don't Starve.
oh the shit I was given for using a save mod so that I didn't lose my 300 hours of progress because I forgot to pause the game when leaving my desk for a few minutes. like fuck off, I play the game to have fun and relax, I don't want to start a new world every time I die, I have a life and I don't have time to put in a thousand hours to get good enough that I never make mistakes and can enjoy a long play world without stressing about permadeath. but boy did some people ever take personal offence to me not playing the game exactly how it was purchased and how they chose to.
Lol that happened to me playing Don't Starve. I never opened it again
if you like that type of game (base building, exploration, farming, survival, combat), I highly recommend giving it another try. I haven't played it in a while, but if the modding scene was great a few years ago that I'm sure it's just as good now.
I typically played with quality of life mods like material stacking (less time spent running back and forth moving items around), save games (death resets you to the start of the day, not deletes your world), and some food things to make the game less grindy and focused on resource management (food spoilage rates changed). the core mechanics of the game are all still there, but it's much more friendly for the casual player who is looking to relax, allowing you to focus on the parts that are fun like building up to fight a giant and exploring.
IIRC mods are also very easy to install with the built-in mod configurator in the game — no need to use an external launcher or manually manage mods like with Minecraft
I might give it a spin with mods. I liked pretty much everything else about the game.
I admittedly didn't get very far, maybe 60 days? But it was furthest I got by WEEKS and I just couldn't bring myself to start over
totally understandable
it is one of my favourite games. I never think of it as being a game on which I have a high play time, but the stats show differently lol
