      It’s more like the people that didn’t like it stopped playing it and the only ones left were the people who actually liked it. The game isn’t for everyone, but while it has had a lot of nice updates, it’s not fundamentally different from what it started as.

        Yeah, other studios will think they can spend eight years making their game better for free

          No. They think they can purposefully release a half assed game after promising something entirely different and then drip feed the previously removed content over the years while fixing the purposefully introduced bugs in order to be praised as heroes by gullible simps.

        Not OP, but I do the same thing. I would leave it installed, but I always end up getting bored after a while. I can’t explain it exactly, I feel like they’re building a mansion on top of a shack, like there’s impressive new stuff but some of the core aspects haven’t changed at all

      I can’t wait to load up my Pirate save after I finish walking the dog. I wonder what the next expedition will be like?

      I wasn’t expecting ths big of a change, but should have expected it after the Space Stations update.

    Did they ever make any ui changes? The worst part of this game was being mid battle trying to menu and add materials to your ship or guns or whatever. The ui and gameplay from this aspect was god awful. No amount of adding other things makes this game good for me if the bad menu ui and mechanics are still a thing.

    Seems like planets have been scaled up? Otherwise the increased height in the terrain will make them look even goofier than before. I’m guessing some of that terrain work is also in preparation for their other game. Aside from the atrocious gameplay loop this was probably one of my biggest issues with the game.
