the mountain men as a CONCEPT was cool
the execution of them was dumb and felt way too much like the show was trying for horror

tbh them being explained as the bunker they were aiming for was cool
and the idea that if you made too much noise they would release a controlled highly acid fog to wipe you out was a nice touch

SFA is going to murder trek for another 20 years

I have so many interconnected systems and theres not clear connections because of the high level of abstraction in modern features, managing that is quite complex and my games arnt even that big
I think the issue is that the AI doesnt know why things are designed in the way they are, it has knowledge of the what just not the why

you also need to pass on those whys so that questions already answered arnt constantly coming back up and resulting in new decisions which dont align with whats already been done

To be fair, it remains a question, because there's this one or maybe two videos of him speaking.

You slowly bleed out
So wait, you are constantly bleeding out, but you are also leeching enemies?
That's a nice balance, assuming you are bleeding rigorously.

Not 'run out' in so much as can't keep up with the demand.
First priority is the data centers, because they buy in bulk.
