Long-in-the-works colony sim MMO Seed is shaping up into something that looks like EVE Online for RimWorld fans.
I always liked the time-based skilling in EVE. You don’t have to grind for skills. I really enjoyed that game for a few years.

So… godville?
EVE Online for RimWorld fans
Warcrimes together!
The Sims meets Goonfleet hating simulator.
Another one? I thought they’re working on the blockchain moddable hardcore-EVE survival MMO.
Edit: Oh, it’s former developers, nvm.
I tried to play that block chain moddable hardcore-EVE survival MMO and I found it confusing and unengaging … And that’s the most generous description I can come up with for it.
As someone that played EVE on and off starting with the beta for it I was kind of disheartened.
Since when did Rimworld fans want an MMO?
😳
I just came reading this article.
So I just get billed for the server time and don’t actually play?
as someone who has played EVE Online since launch…yup that sounds about right.
“leveling up” in EVE isn’t based on XP, it’s time based. you buy skills, had them to your skill queue, and they level up over hours, days, or even weeks. Or if you’re building something again that’s all time based. you either log off or do something else in game.
Hell due to the meta in the game and the massive player alliances there’s some alliance leaders that don’t even bother logging in. They just manage their alliance out of game. you can easily “play” EVE without actually playing EVE. so former EVE devs doing something like this shouldn’t surprise anyone.

This is very true. I spent a good year casually playing EVE and never undocking from Jita 4-4. I was basically playing spreadsheets and logistics contracts, earning more money than a person flying a ship and grinding isk. Then moved to doing carrier logistics for a large Bee-based alliance.
exactly. And your bee-based alliance former leader was the main alliance leader that never logged in. Mittani basically played EVE Offline.
If it is anything like EVE it just means that there are systems that work in real-time and operate even when you’re offline.
For example, if you tell your colonists to built a factory… it may take 36 hours but you don’t have to be online for them to work. Also, in EVE, your character’s skill progression happens if you’re online or not. Level 1 in a skill may take 2-3 minutes, and level 5 for some of the highest level skills could take weeks.
So, like Farmville.
Yeah, EVE is pretty much Farmville with spaceships and diplomacy.
looks interesting.
Life is so easy now, your games play themselves for you.
