I play it with chill mode. Try new things. Unlock some ideas in my brain. Reroll. I kind of wish I could figure out how to keep the world persistent like in Dwarf Fortress, starting new colonies when I get new ideas. I always think “this is the time I am going to clear out all other factions.”
Though the first time in vanilla that I launched the ship it was with two babies on it, because the parents were dead and they wouldn’t stop crying. 😂🤷♀️
