I know my back log is too full to start a sandbox game, but I think I'm enjoying Voices of the Void much more on my second attempt, at least so far.
I think a huge improvement was learning some tricks to move heavy objects like tables (for instance by bumping into them with a lighter physics object) and also now that someone told me about sv.target the daily tasks have become much less frustrating.
Also whose idea was it to build a radio telescope facility in a fucking valley? Only reason I can think of (aside from there is none and I'm just supposed to suspend my disbelief a little, which I'm fine with) would be that its related to all the secrecy that seem to be going on around here and this place isn't supposed to exist and all that.
