I’m playing Space Exploration right now and it is epic. But beware, a professional YouTuber Dosh Doshington who seems to be one of the best Factorio players in the world (in my opinion) took 300 hours to complete SE with some help. I think SE is amazing but it’s an incredible time sink. I’ve gotten 3500+ hours in Factorio, I think I have a problem.

Anyway, seeing Factorio in 3D was amazing though, really cool

Yes that's why I think you should turn biters waaaay down or off for SE. It's a game that can take a few years to play through if you have a full time job+other things. Still a worthy distraction, just understand you'll be playing for years.

Yes, as part of SE you are already strongly encouraged to turn down the evolution factor growth if I'm correct.

I myself do keep on playing with biters as I feel personally no enjoyment if there would be no biters.
