Hey so i grabbed the game a long time ago when i was free to grab and keep and i see there is a dlc for it that seems to add quite a lot of gameplay feature.
Do i NEED the dlc to have a pleasant time with the game ?
I think i want to focus on mining and such. Would love some advice and all of that.
And yes i've heard the saying "never fly without a rebuy"
