Thoughts on The Future...

[SumGumption]

So, I know that the Devs want to keep this a peaceful game and have made me feel like they are listening to us EA purchasers. But I have some concerns as to it's future. While I do feel like I have already gotten my monies worth of entertainment, amazing graphics and have completed the game as they stated we would. There are some things that Devs put into the game that makes me want to speak up.

The mech is an amazing design concept. We have the ability to plow and then the final surprise ability. The plowing ability is only useful after completing everything. But not really. It isn't needed. But it's there for those that want to stay with the end game and farm. So it is a device to keep us in the game. Which means that the Devs want to KEEP us playing the game. The final ability. It's cool. I appreciated it. It served its purpose to complete the game.

The two abilities and any more surprises, aren't going to be enough to keep us in the game. Sure, it's a farming game. I get it. But it's going to need so much more to keep us in the after game. DLC's at this point aren't going to sell very well either if the after party is no longer a party. I did purchase the DLC and album to support the Dev's as I felt that they deserved a little more money than what I purchased the game for. But I can't see any reason to purchase anymore DLC's if the after party is just a place to lay my drunk head for the night.

There needs to be reason to go back to each plot. There needs to be a reason to plow and keep the fields working. There needs to be time to farm and explore. There needs to be more interaction with our builds such as houses, porches and plops. There needs to be a colony in our unlimited plops in single player mode.

These are just thoughts and I know that many other players have their thoughts too. To which, I seriously hope you all will post them below. We know that the Devs can't do everything we want. But they did make a way for us to want to stay. I hope they will consider each persons thoughts to what would make them stay. Even if it is in DLC's. We aren't asking for a bunch of freebies.

Steam mods and user assets would be another method to keep us at the after party as well.

Thank you, Devs, for a wonderful game so far.

DLC's can not extend the life of a game like this.
you farm,build,farm,build, end point.
without a single threat to keep you going there is no end game, just an end point.
throw a 1000 DLC's at it and it can extend the time before you reach the end but it can not take it away.

I played it on gamepass, the game is not bad but it lacks the depth to keep me going.
DLC's will not change that, no matter what they add will not change that.
the game is so peaceful that there is no challenge at all.

You may be right. I’m hoping the devs could or would want to prove us wrong.

It's also completely ok to simply have a game you play.. get 20-30 hours out of and then don't play again. Not every game has to last and be played forever.

Agreed. But you didn’t get my point to the topic. That’s okay too.

Yeah i agree, i'm new to the game and haven't played much yet but it seams to lack a goal or goals to strive for.
I love exploring but farming...no only if i have to for resources.
