   >Can't mod the game because its always online
   >Can't buy the game because its $70 at minimum with an additional $100 worth of mandatory microtransactions in order to make it playable
   >Can't play the game because it doesn't even run on your system since they only optimized it for the latest line of graphics cards their corporate sponsor has produced and no one else
   >Can't talk in the game or an AI will misconstrue what you say and immediately ban you, likely without recourse because retaining dispute claim agents post-AI tools is unnecessary in the eyes of the corporation and was part of a "cost cutting" measure
   
   Man I wonder why Single Player games are always so popular now? Boggles the mind.

     They are saying the same shit about Starfield lmao "it's just too big and complex, we can't make singleplayer games anymore, they're just too complicated"

     Pretty bad when they're saying that about Starfield considering that game has like 10 fucking guns, the same 10 prefab dungeon locations, and bland planets

     These companies really believe Baldurs Gate 3 (idc if people hate it) was a fluke
     I'm surprised EA isn't pulling the illegal monopolistic shit they used to do by buying up good companies and immediately shutting them down

     If it’s so bad why won’t anyone stop playing it? I swear, I’m dealing with a bunch of druggies at this point. 2 straight weeks of every guy just whining about how terrible this dogshit letdown of a game is, but when I ask why they won’t just turn it off and get a refund they shrug like that’s as insane as weaning off of their pill addiction

     So far you’re the first and only. I think some people just got locked into doing this hate-watch thing and now they’re content to just eat every morsel of slop presented to them, good or bad, as if grumbling about the craziness absolves them of the sin of supporting it

     The game is too bad and generic to even force myself to play
     I'd rather spend 100 hours playing Pyanodons mods on Factorio just trying to get through the first chain of turning wood into charcoal through a 8 step process
     
     Plus starfield is so badly optimized I refuse to play sub 40fps everywhere

     So all this is relatively new player friendly?

     I'd download them all they will enhance the gameplay experience especially the calculator and cursor enhancements

     What mods would you recommend to someone who just got factorio pretty recently?

     Just drop this save into yours
     C:\Users\(yourusername)\AppData\Roaming\Factorio\saves
     
     It should ask you to sync mods
     Do just that and you have the best mods for someone who started factorio.
