All I can say is; Oh dear.
The addictive optimization game adds even more methods of optimization to play with.
I’m suspicious. WoW added quality to crafting recently and it kind of sucks. This looks like a much more thoughtful approach, but I’m still skeptical that it will actually be fun and not a headache.
Well now I have a hankering to play Factorio. There goes September, I guess!
I think this looks fun. I’ll definitely try it out when the expansion comes out.
I love the mechanics. But the naming could be much better. This is not WoW.
I feel at this point, those colours and names are essentially a cultural baseline - in the context of game item quality, to differ from them is rarer than to use them
It’s the same colors and naming used in Cyberpunk 2077 for item rarity as well.
And also the same as in Starfield.
meh, so far 2 out of 3 announcements have been very underwhelming for me. I tried space exploration, didn’t like it. A simplified version of that is still just a simplified version of that. And this quality thing just serves to make shit unpredictable, which is a step backwards to me. I hate probabilistic recipes, and the main draw here is to make everything probabilistic
So far I only liked the bot improvements. I feel quite disappointed so far, tbh
I think there’s a group of people who are just going to avoid quality completely and have entire factories running at normal quality only. Kinda similar to how some people don’t really do nuclear.
If you don’t like the concept of going into space though maybe this expansion is not for you. I think the base game will get the bot upgrades for free anyways.
