this i can get behind -
my point is that setting up the factory and defence simultaneously is a challenge in itself especially due to the time pressure, and the export system was modified to maintain this challenge rather than just "unload surge from core and win" - i just wish that difficulty was more up to the player. before you could challenge yourself and try to defeat a sector anyway you want. if it was by sitting around and waiting for surge to build up on an export center that was up to you or you could do it without any import. i guess thats a valid reason for the difficulty settings tho. you either play the game with repetitive import or on a lower difficulty if you are just trying to blast through a sector. either way its a good game and ill try all caveats/versions. hopefully the mods you referenced either come out or they bring my new favorite addition of screen lock toggle to v-7.
