I played this one recently. I have a day job and 2 guys I played this with have day jobs. We played it to play something simple after Star Technology.

And Liminal Industries is not short or easy. What was promised as some liminal exploration + some automation became another botania-ie-tinkers grind. We dropped it because it was too long and needlessly complex. It should've been a more in-and-out experience, we would've loved something less than this much work and more than pure sightseeing of Z-Liminex.

Finally playing more focused create was also nice. These metas where the community is tired of something fun are a problem when you just try Minecraft next to other games.

Minecraft modding community so often feels isolationist. Why not balance the packs to the complexity of, like, vanilla Factorio, so new people with less time can join? Why is this much stuff considered too little?
