They’re doing huge amounts of marketing towards their next season but it’s still gonna be like every season, where there’s a big bump but then everyone leaves because the game is frustratingly poorly balanced. So tiring watching one of your favorite games get ruined month by month by greedy execs and an out of touch balance team. I swear with proper resources it could return to glory in under a year. Just depressing.
I recommend The Decursio Project if youre looking for an in depth industrial modpack (it does require magic, if thats a deal breaker). it has minecolonies too. Im running a private server on it right now and its the best mod pack ive ever played, though i did disable the “ages” mechanic and im not doing the quests, just using them as a reference.
