have the most important/impactful changes listed at the top of your post
This is of course subjective, there's no order that would satisfy everyone. I get the idea of course, but in the end we'll always have the wrong order. In this case I didn't think the factories would be such a drastic change as none of the hundreds of people that play tested on FAF Develop mentioned it.
I wrote "community" in quotation marks bc I don't want to imply that my opinion is representing the community. Several people in this thread, however, seem to have issues with the direction taken.
There are always people that consider a patch harmful. For some just the idea of change is harmful. Don't get me wrong, I take serious feedback seriously and I hope you get that impression too. But at the moment there was more backlash on removing the blinking lights then what I have perceived so far with these factory changes.
The feedback "let's roll it back bc the changes caused bigger problems compared to the texture issue before" will not be considered from what I understand.
Yep, because I'd prefer moving forwards instead of spending time to go backwards again. We're open to suggestions on how to improve the situation, and I hope you too come up with suggestions to improve it.
