Looking good! How are you getting around, generally? Trucks?
I’m really getting annoyed by the desert start location. The closest quartz is under a mountain inaccessible unless I finish researching Nobelisk, and the second-closest is 2.5km away through impassible terrain filled with unkillable monsters. It’s less “challenging” and more… “needlessly obnoxious”.
I mean, yes, eventually, after I found a bunch of quartz outcroppings and manually ground them to dust, I was able to get these options.
But quartz being completely unreachable for like, 4 whole tiers, is Unfun.
Also, this has been an issue for 6 years. Given how great every other part of the game is, this in particular stands out as a problem to me.
