I've got plenty of time for research as it's sort of a V2 of what we're working on now that I'm trying to get my head around pre-emptively (until now we've been kind of just making shit up and rolling our own after being locked in to ASP.NET Web Forms)
This has given me something else to consider now!

At the moment the Halo series is the only thing holding me back from putting Debian back on my main PC. I've been so psyched for halo on pc for so many years that it seems silly to have to subsist with Proton

You still get the centralised commodity exchanges where the lions share of trading in the standard buy order sell order and it matches you style happens though) and the currency exchange.
I believe they intend to move to a subscription model for the premium stuff when they do a full release but that won't be for a good time yet as far as I'm aware.
I'm sure they're going to add further content that isn't free, but they do state "Realism will not be sacrificed to pay-to-win shenanigans – your money is no good here." on their website which is actually kind of what enticed me.
I obviously can't comment on how it'll go in the future but I think the devs are doing this because they want to make an amazing spreadsheets in space game first over money.
TL;DR give it a try and see what you think.

Comment on Scythe’s Automa designer on making cardboard AI feel human in solo board games in ~games.tabletop
rmgr LinkSolo board games and RPGs are something which has always interested me but I've never actually sat down to try. Does anybody who plays them regularly have any insights?Solo board games and RPGs are something which has always interested me but I've never actually sat down to try.

I've had a pretty disorganised vegetable garden for the last few months (we bought a house in October so it was a novelty to shove some spinach and a tomato in the ground and see what happens) and the plan was that once the tomato bush finished up I'd rip everything up, add a bunch of compost to the soil and actually plant the bed properly.
Due to this panic buying of seeds/seedlings I ended up having to go to a friend's place to take some of their seed supplies because even local stores are selling out. I've been reading about saving seeds and I think it's definitely worth doing!
