      @@vetofallen521 I don't know, eventhough it's shallow for Paradox standards, Vici3 still has a lot of depth. Also, I was commenting more on the "feel" of it. You start by doing everything in your power to reach automation as quickly as possible. And sure, you could liken it to factory builders but with those there's generally a clear goal and a change-up in systems that has a significant progress throughout eras.
      From what I've heard and seen from BA, every business is virtually the same except for start-up cost and profit margin. The other part of the "feel" is just about what makes you happy. If you build a great factory in Factorio or DSP or , just looking at working supply lines is... satisfactory. In BA, you just look at the monetary income and want it to be higher than yesterday.

      He can literally open and close at any time he wants. He could be closed when stores are open so he doesn't have to take a whole day off and sleep 12 hours just to go shopping. He could build in a lunch break. He could hire an employee to buy back his time. But all that would deprive us of the experience of being lectured incorrectly about economics by a virtual psychopath who just can't seem to help himself from doing the most insane things possible in this game. I'm starting to understand why NL streamed from an actual closet for so many years even after becoming quite successful.
