That’s a pretty small part of the game… That is _a_ gimmick, sure, but not something that you even have to think about very much.

@Mahaloth if you want a more comprehensive look at the game there is a thread devoted to it on these boards:

I played a bit in early access but cut myself off to save it for release. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been waiting two years for this one. And now it’s here… I’ll be in my bunk.
