Could I request an optional toggle that just brings back the traditional Omnifactory? The one that didn't require farming?
I dislike farming in a game like SS, and I'd bet dollars to donuts for all of the whining about how 'OP' the old factory was, 99% of users will use the non-farming factory because of how it solves SS's core endgame problems. Being able to build cool ships with cool guns as long as you collect cool stuff fixes so many things about SS's baseline experience it's not even funny.
I'm not going to be able to enjoy SS's new features & will just keep playing on an old patch, personally, unless / until I can bring Omnifactory with me. As far as I'm concerned it is an absolutely essential part of the experience. Without it, the end game is empty.
