here's an interesting question so do you want to change the electricity transport for example at Transformers or the cable converter and stuff like that so we actually had
[Music]
we talked about this a while like a long time ago actually but, for update I believe was five, we were actually thinking of changing how power would work in the game, like revamping completely like how power so like if you're transferring power through like long distances you would need to add Transformers and stuff like that and like different types of cables and we sort of just realized that it just made the game overly complex for no real reason like it it it's it's more complex and like that that surely that means that the game is more interesting right but that's not always the case we found, so we actually did prototype that a little bit and, decided not to go with that, at least and not in that iteration that I was in because we felt like it just added unnecessary complexion and, complexity yeah complexity and and, I mean that was pretty much that was pretty much it I just didn't feel like it added anything new to the game that was like it it just made that game harder didn't really make it more interesting
