do you personally think using AGS is cheating or not for me it's only cheating if you call it cheating for yourself- I agree with that sentiment I do think that when we made this game we designed it we design the progress the progression of the game in a very specific specifical specific way I mixed specific and particular in one word and became specific it's pretty cool word not going to lie might patent that, we we designed the progression of the game in a very particular way, granted though like you can argue playing multiplayer is also cheating a bit way because like you know the game is supposed to be single player not really actually it's designed for multiplayer but, I honestly don't really care too much, I will 100% people call people out if they're if they're using AGS but actually don't really care too much I personally wants to finish the game without using AGS, but that's how I play the game I think this is the the what is AGS, Advanced game settings so in update 8 we added an option for adding more advanced game settings so for people that want to be able to enable like creative mode or, fly around and stuff like that, we give people the option to do that, whenever they want with the cost of just like that we you know that we clearly indicate that like your Safe Fall is is has AGS enabled, because it's very easy and satisfactory is very easy like there's a there's a common term in game design where if you can if you give players the option to optimize optimize away the fun from games they will do it all the time, so like if we give players the option to just get any item they want anywhere then at some point they're going to end up not playing the game they're just going to like unlock stuff for the sake of unlocking stuff, and and like the the root of satisfactory is really all like all the different mechanics that we have for building and you know automating and setting up logistic lines and stuff like that, and a huge part of that is like you know all the the limitations that come with the game that's not to say that like everyone needs to play it that way, and that kind of stuff so so that's why we sort of gave people the option to at least you know do that stuff but that's why it's sort of like behind this check mark that you first need to go off or like check in that like if you want to enable this then you know what you're getting into essentially, so yes
