Yeah this is basically it. The problem was that every family treated it as a little getaway for a couple of weeks and therefore literally burned through the resources around them at an extravagant pace, but didn't take into account that they were one of hundreds of people in the area. There was no community built either, so resources were wasted just because they weren't shared. A tree might be able to warm a cabin fine, but an open fire out in the air for every individual family in the area burning hot 24/7 isn't going to be very sustainable. Combined with everyone being very ill prepared for the realities of living outside in winter and a ton of people die.

They also depopulated the lake they were fishing from by dynamiting it repeatedly.

World War Z was a fun book.

To be fair it's a pretty dumb book that also claimed everyone in china burrowed underground.

I thought that was North Korea?

Tin Can is really fun but I have to say, the replay value is limited. It ends up being more of a Diner Dash style plate spinner rather than a fun problem-solving game. Once you've experienced an event and learned how it works, you just use the fastest and most reductive strategies to survive it, because it's all about time saving.

I think the game would benefit from a slower-paced, less frenetic mode. Maybe trying to keep a trading ship running on a long journey where the risk is more about optimizing your time rather than avoiding instant death.

yeah always has been

also i've been peeking at previews and apparently they're making the rockets just be shells that you then have to equip with your own guts and it's gonna own lmao


This looks extremely cool, it kinda reminds me of Space Engineers with Stormworks level of detail.

Is it fun to build poo poo? Are you reliant on a handful of prewritten LUA segments or something people wrote to do cool poo poo? I have zero experience with Stationeers.

Really digging Ostranauts. The game needs more time to bake for sure but what is there is cool as heck. I love games that give me a customizable moving base And it's been awesome to see my ship grow from a little tug up to full scale salvage vessel.
