This is the exact same album that was posted late Wednesday evening , and is still on the front page . <| sep |> We pay over 120 an hour for software developers . <| sep |> Shut the fuck up . <| sep |> Hardcore mode has a much higher cost to research technology and to craft items . It also encourages you to invest in lower tier equipment before you move on to higher tiers . For example , it ' s not affordable anymore to skip coal powered mines and go directly to electric drilling . If you play a single player session or have less than 3 players on a server , it ' s probably better to go with the medium settings , otherwise the game can feel like it ' s progressing too slow at times . So in summary , the normal mode configuration is probably closer to the experience other mod pack provide and the hardcore setup is exactly that , really hard ! Only recommended for players who like a challenge that is almost impossible
