Sweet, sweet liber-tea

I've really enjoyed the time I've spent playing this game throughout my years and its updates.

When people around me have been surprised to hear that, ask if it's worth the price, I reply based on what I know about them and the game. Generally, here's my points:

• If you're an explorer type, you'll be in your element. It's the game for us. Always something new to do, something new to see, some new goal to set and new random challenge to go for.
  
• Part 2 to the above: If you played Skyrim or others like it where the quests and story were more guidelines rather than rules? Especially when you ignored it like I did to beat up baddies and chase butterflies? You're off to a good start with NMS.
  
• You can select your level of difficulty from the beginning, of several choices. I tend to be more difficulty-survival to even hardcore, but there's Dark Souls levels of difficult I don't even want to mess with. There's also super easy creative mode for builders who don't want the grindy survival stuff... and for those who want to just enjoy the story.
  
• You can also select your social or solo options at the start. Co-op was the promised mode from the beginning, and it has been extremely popular along with the expeditions. For people who have found regular sessions of NMS difficult to get into, expeditions have been much easier. They are far more linear and goal-based, and some have described it as feeling like a different game entirely.
  
  I'm not a social person tho, so I dislike both options and prefer to remain solo. I'm grateful that option was not removed. (I was worried it would be.)
  
• If you're a builder? I think those builders from Ark or Valheim might find the transition easier than, say, Minecraft, but as long as you want to build, there's some crazy stuff people be making.
  
• As far as I know, the devs are friendly with the modding community. It's not large, but it is fairly active.
  
  This is what made the game for me before the huge updates started rolling out in droves, and I still use several just to have my NMS set to my personal preference. What I love about devs that allow modding communities? If you don't like X-Y-Z thing, you can usually mod it.

My best point with folks, though, tends to be this: The devs are consistently updating. They're active, the updates are totally free, the work put into this game is amazing, and the promises made have actually been kept. This game could have been abandoned like so many others, and it was not.

For me, that's been worth supporting.

When it first came out, it had all the trappings of a free game trying to get people to buy micro transactions, but was also a semi-interesting and different idle game.

Now?

idk, seems like everyone and their grandmother's dog has jumped on the idle/clicker genre. I'd like to find a better one, and haven't found one yet. So I just come back to this one when I'm in the random mood.

I would neither recommend or not, just sort of... meh?
