    I like that the building cleared the grass from directly under it, and nowhere else. So many games either just leave the grass poking up through whatever you've built, or splash down a giant bare spot. I know it's just aesthetics, but it looks good.

    • @JeronimoStilton14
      @JeronimoStilton14 7 месяцев назад

      Probably easier to program and generally devs think it looks nicer to do the clearing around the building in a circle, like they cleared it to put in the building

  • @NRSGuardian

    Battletech has an era known as the Republic Era, where after a massive war everyone decided that they were either too weak and exhausted from war that they decided they needed to economically redevelop and so a lot of Mechs were either scrapped or turned into farm, forestry, mining, or construction equipment until 50 years later chaos ensued when the HPG network went down.
    Also, in the Periphery Mechs are so expensive to maintain that you can't afford to just have them sit around waiting for someone to attack, so they are used for other civilian tasks when they aren't being repaired or fighting.

    In mw5, my hero Corsair has outlasted hundreds of millions of creds worth of other assault mechs. 3 ac5-bfs plus some extra drones, super useful in my lances, keep going back to it! The Corsair is like an industrial/agrimech modified by pirates for battle, asymmetric kitbashed kinda look

  • @jacoblitman4866
    @jacoblitman4866 7 месяцев назад +1

    I cannot acknowledge this game as being in the Battletech spirit until it introduces combined-arms farming. While it currently features mechs, merchant Dropships and a little bit of infantry, it lacks basics like wheeled combines and cropdusters.
    That bit of sarcasm aside, I'm also liking the look of this game. I suppose they could do a serious survival mode if they introduce hunger/thirst and equipment breakdowns, but there's also a place for something you can just slowly putter away at.
