I’m curious what game you guys have sunk the most hours into. Mine has to be RuneScape, I don’t know the total hours because I’ve had so many accounts over the years I don’t even remember half my passwords, but it’s definitely in the thousands of hours now. I’ve played on/off RS2, OSRS, and RS3 since 2004.
I’ve also probably sunk anywhere from hundreds to 1000+ hours into Skyrim and Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura, though I don’t know the counts there either since neither were through Steam. Embarrassingly enough I’ve never completed either of those two games - I get sidetracked making so many alt characters.
What about you guys? & What got you hooked on said game?
Did not care much for the expansion, just didn’t like the game play. Didn’t even finish it, so it is almost all base game and mods.
I really should try this game.

I I keep getting stuck once I get to blue science packs. I usually play without enemy spawns.
What didn’t you like about the expansion?
Biggest complaint I’ve heard (besides Quality complainers) is that they don’t like that T3 modules got retconned into needing other planets to get.
I personally find that a good change, and also quality is ignorable. I don’t have nearly the hours you have into it, but a respectable high triple digit number, and about 200 I’d guess of those has been post-space age. Haven’t actually played base since space age launched.
I didn’t like all the back and forth between planets. Just not my play style I guess.
I don’t think the expansion is bad, and I support the factorio devs in making a really good game. I just personally didn’t get sucked into it.
Yeah, fair. I dont do a ton of that, myself.
I build a heavy cargo ship with a bunch of raw supplies, assemblers, roboports, and ingredients for a rocket, go to the planet, slap down a rocket, some solar, a roboport, and logistics chests, and leave.
If I have to return in person, I have failed my challenge.
Anything specific you didnt like about space age? I really enjoyed it
Mostly going back and forth between planets I found to be annoying. I liked the different worlds (some more than others), but the traveling and time suck made it annoying.
Also the space ship introduced a way to get stuck without save scumming, which the base game didn’t have. Or at least not nearly as bad, if you went out into the wilderness you could get a lot of biters on you but it was less of a problem. If you started a journey between two planets and your craft wasn’t good enough you basically had to just load a previous save. Afaik there was no “oh dear, this going bad. Let me turn back”, which well to be fair is realistic.
Doesn’t the space ship fall back down to your departure planet if you can’t make it to your destination? That’s been my experience at least. But maybe when you’re almost there it doesn’t.
It falls back to your origin if less than halfway there, and drifts to your destination if more than halfway there. The real answer is to not send it until you got a couple full tanks of gas and a pump circuit speed governor for fuel efficiency, plus guns, ammo and fuel generation onboard.
I don’t remenber actually, maybe if you don’t have enough fuel? But I found the biggest problem was that it got destroyed by meteors rather than fuel issues.
