I dont play this game like a story teller. I play on easy, with weak raids, with no insta colonist death, no friendly fire, and with reloads enabled. I just wanna build a cool colony! But it got me thinking…
How do you guys play? super hardcore or really chill, somewhere in the middle perhaps? I wanna know.
The options exist because all modes of play are legitimate. You don’t need to confess that any more than you need to confess that sometimes you eat food.
I tend to play easier settings too, with lots of mods. One of those mods lets me use the coms console to insult other factions and get them to send a raid, so I still get plenty of fighting in. But it’s honestly a coin toss when a mech cluster drops in whether I’m going to actually deal with it legitimately or just grumble about how I can’t be arsed and nuke it from orbit.
An even more direct comparison is confessing that you don’t like spicy food and eat mild food. People will shame others over considering food too spicy, but simultaneously enjoying spicy food is completely legitimate itself.
