Dear work,

I cannot come in today because I have broken my legs or one of my siblings has become gravely ill and I need to attend to them or maybe I can't get to the office because it is snowing too much I am not sure I haven't looked.

It will take an approximate 60-100 hours for my legs or sibling to recover, or for the snow plow to come clear the road.

If anything needs my urgent attention, it doesn't.

Regards, Me

Myself and 6 friends have been playing nonstop for 4 days, only pausing to sleep.

3 of us took a vacation, 1 is "sick", and the others come on after work. Our save is 30MiB right now.

Time has lost meaning, dreams are filled with blueprint ideas, wake up and go to the computer to see what changed over night....

Best time of our lives.

Loving the update, but as a rampant deathworld enjoyer, i am finding vanilla biters... Lacking.. still eventually we will get there!

I have a feeling gleeba will compensate, though I'm far from it

Same here, though without rampant, I did find explosive, frozen and armoured biter mods. Ai is still dumb, but it adds variety and challenge for me.

Right there with you, took me one false start where I was taking so long to figure things out again that the biters took over. Second start is going swimmingly and I'm starting to feel that wonderful obsession with growing my factory. Such a great game, I'm so happy about the expansion!

Just got to the volcano planet. The dlc is so fucking nice.
