will carve his implant and make some micromanaging ability in the game for example fixed networks mod enables micromanaging we actually we were thinking of doing something like that for a while and then we keep going back and forth that's like but the complexity though because our game is quite complex for a lot like we want the game to be quite accessible and if we add like a system like that we would want it to be like an optional thing right where you don't really need to do it and then it comes back to the whole prioritization thing where like but if we're adding like an optional system for the game we have a ton of stuff that are not optional to the game that we need to work on so like it goes back to the whole thing I talked about before like do would you rather have better pathing for trains or like that micromanagement ability right so it goes back and forth a lot, I just want to really quickly call out like the fix it Network mod is amazing and if anyone is interested in something like that please check it out it's so cool, my mind was blown 14 000 times when I was checking that half train walls of gas my blind was so blown when I was checking out the the Fix-It Network mod, it's so cool it is quite complex and it's not for the faint of heart and like it almost I think it requires programming knowledge, but it's such a cool mod and I've seen so many cool things be made with it so, highly recommend checking it out and I feel like that mod sort of fills that space in that sense yeah like the the so many things in the game are simplified and then but the overall game is still quite complex and like that's sort of the balance we want to strike that balance the brain was running like ander's game when using that mod pretty much yeah I was just like got like four FPS out of my head, you need to know Lua I think, I think he was working on a visual scripting language for that mod but, yeah it's true but it's like where do we draw the line like what's when it's complicated like yeah yeah it's a cool mod
