[2021] This subreddit ruined my experience with the game

Sorry if this post isn’t appropriate but let me preface:

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not here to complain about the subreddit. The issue was created by my own fault, but I just wanted to share and see if anyone else had the same issue.

I found this game from a youtuber who barely got into it, just broadcasted less than a couple hours into the game and I was hooked. I loved the concept. I bought the game quickly and had insane fun with it. I knew about this subreddit, but never went on it, posted screenshots of my first base, people told me it was good and to continue to explore the game. I realise I needed better organisation and was advised to relocate. So I did but when I tried to rebuild I had so many issues so after 80 hours I restarted. Then I made the mistake of scrolling through this subreddit for inspiration.

I love this subreddit to bits, but I honestly can’t enjoy the game anymore because of it, I had so much fun playing and experimenting with it, came on here and realised I’ll never be good as others. I’ll see everyone’s creations and realise, I’ll never be able to do this. I can’t fathom understanding the game well enough to create these. And as much as I love the game I cannot enjoy it anymore as every time I play, I immediately search up guides, paranoid I’m being terrible at the game at every second.

So whilst this subreddit has helped me in sorting out issues and I do love seeing people’s creativity; I honestly wish I never found it.
