Oh yeah. I’ve poured months of my life into Nomifactory (formerly Omnifactory) and will one day play the even longer Nomifactory CE as a finale. This might be the first time I forget to mention modded MC in this context.
When I played it the first time in 2019 there were a few modded mods to make some tasks easier on setup and on the CPU, since the original mods weren’t made with the sheer volume of automation needed in the pack.
When I replayed it again five years later, there were even more helper mods. Sure setting things up the harder old way was more satisfying the first time, but when you have to build the same setup another eighty times? Give me the streamlined stuff please. It was much less tedious, although I was still vaguely familiar with all the mechanics, which also helped a lot. So did my CPU being like 10 generations newer.
That said, if we’re talking about avoiding shithead devs, Microsoft has finally been included in mainstream boycott discourse, and Notch has always been a bit off. Although I’d assume most people into this stuff must have already gotten the game before. It’s not like I’ve given them any money for it over the past decade+.
Yeah all that notch stuff was so weird. He was the first person I witnessed spiral down the alt right pipeline from a seemingly chill and tolerant dude to a raging bigot.
I’m quite happy to play modded minecraft (as I already have a copy. I can’t exactly get a refund at this point), but I’ve been trying out minetest and the other minecraft clones in the luanti launcher. Slightly janky, but very free from microsoft.
