I'm going to really miss this mod.
The Omnifactory was home.
It was where I stored extra supplies & equipment, ships, meaningful tidbits or baubles.
I used to bring home stacks of goods to 'store' with the crew members & other personnel that lived there. Small arms for the marines, luxury goods & lobsters for the vets, organs for the medbay and maybe even a few illicit drugs.
Everything a station needed.
The facilities let me test & equip new ships I captured & brought back conveniently, simply, but at a premium cost. Well-worth it.
And the straight-forward collection mechanic was a robust gameplay-driving engine with its obvious goal and tangible rewards.
It was absolutely integral to how I played the game.
Did it make the base game easier? Sure. Quicker at the very least.
Was it a 'cheat'? One could certainly see it that way if one so desired.
But not everyone is out for the punishment side of challenge. Not everyone plays on ironman.
And the users were the ones that installed it & played with it. And we had fun with it.
Lazywizard, I'm sad to see it lose your favor, but I think I understand: no one would want to keep working on something they don't personally use anymore/feel inspired by.
So, thank you for creating it in the first place, & thank you for keeping it updated for so long.
