Trimps got a new update recently, and so I started playing it again. Surprisingly, I'm finding it fun again despite the update changing practically nothing at the point of the game I'm at. I think it's a shift of mindset.

What might you guess is the shift of mindset? I haven't been playing trimps as I think the scripting failed to be incremental, there's no meta resets to it. The paths to progress are super open, but for me the scripting setup you build is less so.(just tweaking it, no encouragement to overhaul it). It may be an effect where scripts can risk deranging you from incremental progress... That's largely how my thoughts stand about it, still need to write about loops..

I think it's because I'm busy now compared to when I started playing it. I've heard multiple people express that Trimps is best played as a little thing to check in on every once in a while during work. Perhaps the reason why you're never incentivized to completely overhaul your automation configuration is because the game was never intended to be played any other way. You may think differently (as I've come to expect from you), but most players loathe sudden pacing shifts.
