I was looking at my playtime for some games and realized I have over 450 hours in PlanetSide 2.
I've been wanting to find a new game to sink some hours into so I'm curious what Lemmy plays the most.

I’ve tried the game a few times and it doesn’t click with me. What’s is it that you find so appealing?
Emergent gameplay is what appeals to me
I like that each pawn builds up a personality overtime and grows as a character. I pretty much just play Rimworld as a doll house simulator
I feel this way about XCOM. I’ll give this a shot.
When someone does a heroic move I elevate them to hero status in the colony and they get a better bedroom, better armour and the best weapon.
Dangit you’re making me want to play. Can you build an army with laser guns?
Look for the "vanilla expanded" mods.
It is a dedicated and organized team of modders that has output a stunning amount of content, all of it cohesive, and what many would consider required "base game" content.
They have literally put out dozens of mods that could be standalone DLC, all for free.
Charge rifles or charge lances in vanilla. More laser weapons that you could ever use if you use mods.
For me a lot of it is in trying to maximize efficiencies. Setting up task duties and resources where you have plenty enough but not overloading your storage. Defensive position designs to counter any possible situation. Layouts to the base to allow free movement.
Lot of others try for specific artistic ideas or scenario goals, but I'm something of engineer minded player.
I’m not efficiency oriented at all. Which I dislike because I wish I was, but simply not. I do like base building games, and enjoyed Banished a lot.
I imagine you’ve played Satisfactory.
