What game settings do you guys play on?

I enjoy normal and train world, but I was wondering what you guys played on. The lack of enemy expansion on train world seems kinda op to me but idk.

Usually I'll play on Rail World settings but enable Biter Expansion and further lower the frequency of resources to the min amount. However I tend to increase Iron and Oil's richness most times.

I'll also play around with Terrain settings, I have a love/hate relationship with Cliffs. Love em when they aren't in the way of my buildings, hate them when they are... but it makes for a different kind of challenge to build with the Terrain instead of terraforming it the way you want.

hmm thats an interesting idea, ill have to give it a shot. I really want to get better at trains.

railworld with RSO, biters off, ore frequency lowered and cliffs off.

ribbon world (256 wide) large starting area, more biters, no cliffs, cheat with infinite ores

I explore many settings from game to game. My favorite yet was (in .16)deathworld railworld with minimal oil and uranium. (Took me near 40 hours to find my first oil lol)

I like doing some default deathworld marathon blind start and see how far i can go, but this is exhausting so I dont always do that.

I also play with a friend on ribbon word for a relaxed experience where beauty and symmetry are prioritized over efficiency.

I tweaked the default settings a bit. I lowered the amount of biter nests and the "evolution time factor". I like to do stuff at my own phase without the biters getting too overwhelming.

Lowest settings for all ores. Constant expansion and ever longer railways.
Just added the increase in resource costs and expensive research but that made it feel too grindy.

No pollution. Default or rail world settings and no cliffs. For now that's it so I can set up .17 blueprints. I don't like much water either.

I'm not very good at constantly expanding and setting up rail infrastructure on any decent scale to compensate for deposits running out so I tend to increase the frequency slightly and the size/richness quite a bit.

I also tend to leave biter expansion off just so I don't have to constantly move out to clear away bases, though I do sometimes miss not having the enemies to gun down with well set up base defences regularly.

I would look to try something new but having just come back after around a year of not playing and advancing to 0.17.34 I have some new things to figure out and several of my blueprints no longer work.
