BTW, I still think it's a briliant and absolutely necesery change.
The insane concept of having your main gameplay loop spin around "exploration" while still having the worst mess of a teleport spam network connected to your main base... it made no sense to me.
But now, if you can take your base with you and be truly proud of it? Well, that does solve it complelely.
I think I will give the game another shot soon.
