GIVE US MOD SUPPORT FOR THIS GAME!!!! I loved this game and hate the second game It Sucks @$$
It's quite a challenging game, I dig it. Going on expeditions and broadcasting for traders are the most important so you can craft and upgrade stuff. I got lucky to recruit someone with Hands-on trait early on to help with all the fixing while both parents are out on expeditions, one kid on broadcasting and the other is building.
