Remember when the meta changed?

Such a boring meta, you literally use a glitch to make a custom food spawn point, then camp it for a year. And that's if you're lucky and the glitch isn't overwritten by weather conditions or low soil fertility

Boring yes, but if you're luck dependent you're doing it wrong.

You gotta pair custom food spawn with meat duping glitch and maybe even use no decay hacks.

Was the first really big powercreep tbh. We all expected it to get patched out

Yeah sure, if you have literally nothing else to do your entire life except grind barley, einkorn or millet. It's not that hard to just remember where the seasonal resource spawn points are, work out a decent annual loop, then do something else with a full belly and the remaining 20 hours of your day. git gud scrubz

I'm not that old! :-P

Next big one is probably "medicine", especially vaccines preventing illnesses before they start.

And knowledge available freely on the internet is another huge one.

Sad how all three are in danger lately:-(.

And knowledge available freely on the internet is another huge one.

They patched that one by putting 10x as much misinformation on the Internet. Actually, they patched the medicine/vaccine one with misinformation as well.

And food. We produce far more than we could use, even having to throw most of it away. But look at food prices in stores. Do those prices reflect its "value", or is that mere misinformation as well?

It became so popular the devs made it a permanent feature and expanded it
