    Me playing Workers and Resources, which allows you to just turn mechanics on and off mid-game (not all of them): No, I must plan my construction site’s logistics perfectly! (also why would I give a shit about how other people play the game?)

    (also, why do these hard game lovers not like the same hard games I like :( )

      I’ve tried to get into Workers and Resources like 3 times now but every time I get about halfway through the tutorials before I realize I’ve just been clicking the buttons it told me to and haven’t actually been learning anything. Then I look at how many more tutorials I need to fully comprehend before I can even start playing the game proper, and my brain just kind of shuts down.

        I’m not a pro by any means, but I can probably help a little bit if you want. The basics are pretty simple (barring a couple of mechanics absent from the tutorials), mostly made more complex by a lack of a ctrl-z function and how finnicky building/terrain placement is. And certain things aren’t explained (like the ratio of production buildings/vehicles, or that most of your buildings are running at under max capacity until “mid game”, or that some factory connections don’t need forklifts).
