I work free time i havent had a day off for 18 days.

Im procrastinating my university studies with an assignment due tomorrow.

I have half a day off today because i had a breakdown last night at 2130 and had to go back to work after doing a 13 hour shift yesterday.

So now im lying on the couch browsing lemmy.

So clearly i dont value it at all haha

I have almost 2500 hours in the game. There are mods that change the nature of the game to the point where it seems like a completely different game.

There are also modders in the community who have worked on parts of the official DLC.

Speaking of, the DLC massively expanded the game.

But even just the base game is an addictive colony builder where everything is likely to end in flames. Or not. Because there difficulty settings are fairly robust. You can make it a chill little farm sim if you want.

The game is pure freedom.

Are you me - similar number of days, uni assignment due (3000 words), no breakdown though.

Download it after your assignment... this is a start playing at 7pm and 5 min later "oh shit its 3am" kinda game.

I hope you made fond memories of what sleep felt like.

Check it out on Fanatical if you do decide to buy it. They have a sale on the base game and another on the game plus expansions.
