Its not dead necessarily, its just that people prefer vanilla I assume

just wait for the next upgrade! or if you cant wait, join the beta - the changes there bring life back to it!!

This is a downside of using mods on Early Access games.
As the game is constantly being changed through content updates and patches, it requires active mod authors, who keep their mods up to date.

If you don't want to lose your saves because of broken mods, you should play vanilla for now and only start using mods when the game is finished.

On the other hand, the game is in active development and thus not dead. To be fair, it's not dev's job to fix all the broken mods in the workshop, so use them on your own risk.

I'm playing the latest unstable with a whole SLEW of mods - even ones last updated last year in 2023 STILL WORK. There is no issue with backwards compatability.

Mostly Hammerstone mds arent working atm... But the mod developer is working on an update

What are you on about bro? The game was intended to be played without the need of so many mods. Just because the game has broken mods doesn't mean the game itself is dead.

I've been thinking about buying this game, but ive only seen it go on sale for 20% off. I feel like this game probably isnt worth $20. Am I wrong?

No. you're not wrong. Wait for sale, don't be like me who bought it years ago and had to play some alpha build or some ♥♥♥♥. This game isnt worth full price.

Game is worth $20. If you enjoy low-stress structure building, then this game is for you.

There is no supply chain complexity, no meaningful replayability? And very, very slow and uninspiring updates.

Man, I saw this YEARS ago when I called this guy out for how lax he was in working on this game.
