    But remember: once you start playing, you can never really stop unless you want all your hard work to be blown away by a sandstorm.

    I lost hundreds of hours of grinding and building because I had to put the game down for a few weeks to deal with family shit. Came back and all my hard work, my bases, vehicles, ornithopters, everything, was simply gone. And that was on the single player map. Infuriating.

    The game is gorgeous and a ton of fun, and I will never touch it again.

      you can store your entire base long term with minimal effort though. I have my base, all my vehicles, ores, everything stored when I don’t play. takes mere minutes to press a button and have it all right back

        Yeah, they released that update a couple months after I got back. Felt like an afterthought after tons of complaints from the community. Personally though, the damage was already done, there’s no way I’m starting from scratch after how much time I put into getting where I was.

          Well, you wouldn’t start from scratch anyway. They give returning players a huge box filled with materials to get back to where you were. I played again recently after losing my base and actually got further than I was in like an hour
