with more notes and lesser quality did the belt limit have an impact on this or is there another reason for this so this like rebalancing- I think I talked about this earlier in the Stream but I'll just Echo it again the major reason why we're doing like the the degradation like changing the quality of the nodes is because we found that a lot of people tend to, like hunker down in one spot for a very very long time because they don't need to move like a lot of nodes are positioned in a way where like you can you can build really really big factories in just like one spot and it kind of goes against the whole like thing where you're not really exploring like you get to a point in the game where you're not really exploring anymore you're just like building factories and there's nothing NE necessarily wrong with that we found that for a long and this is like years of us feeling this way, we wanted to make these changes earlier but we didn't want to like do these changes until like the late section of development access which is now, we found that, it wasn't interesting logistically enough we felt that like too many people got stuck in in certain areas and I'm not sure if like the no changes that we've made will actually have a huge impact on that, but we didn't want to go too crazy either with the no changes, because we we know it's Wrecking people's factories and we didn't want to go too far but that's part of the reason why, why we decided to do this way is we kind of want to get a bit more spread we want it to become more like a reason logistically why you want to set up logistic tracks and whatnot, and if you just have every note available in close proximity, then that's not really an option so you know if people can't optimize away the fun of the game then they will so that's that's the main reason why we made those changes yep
