So I just want to make something clear. There is nothing wrong with using the Developer Mode. Hell, this is ALPHA still, you are almost encouraged to play with the Dev tools.
With that being said, there is many ways to get enjoyment out of Rimworld. One of those ways is to be challenged. Many, like myself, enjoy testing our limits of planning and strategy.
Sometimes, something might happen in the game that doesn’t seem logical or may seem unfair. So it’s easy to justify a “little harmless use of the Dev mode” in the grand scheme of things. The problem is when one thing leads to another and before we realise it, we have been doing a lot of “little harmless use of the Dev mode”. For players like myself, that’s the precise moment when things get boring. And we do it to ourselves.
Many of us can eat healthy even when there’s some junk-food in the pantry. But for the rest of us, we have to clean out our cupboards and make a strict grocery list. If you don’t understand it; that’s fine. But, if this annoys you, then maybe you should write some clever posts and start passive-aggressive arguments because I think that stuff is entertaining. (I’m only being honest, don’t judge me.)
