Does this game work without internet?

[Just A Goofball]

Im just asking, because the U.S might take away Net Neutrality and we might have a civil war, or just a bunch of violent protests.

in a netshell i just want to be prepared, who needs food and water when you have video games?

id imagine it will work without internet. And if net neutrality does go away ♥♥♥♥ will go down yes, even though a lot of stuff like petitions and reddit posts arent going to do much but with everyone that has called their representitives and all the big internet sites including yes ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ lmao also fighting against it I think for now it might be ok, but no doubt they will keep trying to get rid of NN until enough people get distracted by other things and let it happen

I play offline all the time. The difference is you cant see if the system you are building a base in is someone elses system. It makes for a mess. You go online and upload your discoverys and find thay are taken and the system is someone elses but you still have a base there no one can see but you.

net neutrality isnt (shouldn't) affect any online games, but who knows. steam and online games
rely on being able to connect to different servers and if internet providers can mess with that as well then theres no hope for anything and there will be a HUGE cluster*** and they will be the ones who lose in the end. And if NN does die, I for one dont know the full extent, most major websites might start out uneffected, or they could immediately make EVERYTHING pay 2 view, making you purchase things like social media packages and image sharing packages (imgur and whatnot) and etc etc just like television with movie packages and so on. the future is very uncertain isnt it.

I suppose you panicked over Y2K and 2012 also. How many times are you going to panick before you get a clue?

Here's something to ACTUALLY worry about. One day you will wake up and most everyone you love will be dead, then you'll realize how much time you spent worrying about stupid things.

But don't you know........It's the silly things that matter most, we live in a day and age where kids are more concerened about their video games than their own family!

"Davey.....your aunt died" "OMG mom you just killed my level 100 Orc, and now I have to reload my save"!!!!

whats a "netshell" ?

[Finite Monkeys]

Typo for "nutshell"?

oh right sounded like he built a barrier around his connection

Glad OP doesn't need food and water. With your latest tax reform looking like it will go through, you may not even be able to afford Internet.
Hey... don't sweat the small stuff :-)

For the steam version I would say yes.

Since the game is also on GOG which is DRM free, yup, it can be played offline.

We used to call them 'cups'.

I think the OP is being, well, a goofball. ;-) Internet has been here decades before NN, and is not going anywhere regardless of ISP regulation changes. Y2K! Y2k! And since the universe was sucked into a blackhole back in 2012, who cares?

[SpawnCap]

Nutshell, now that I think of it that sounds pretty gross.
