I don’t think anyone in the NMS community really cares if other people cheat. (I also wouldn’t even call what you did cheating tbh.)

But I do wish Hello Games hadn’t combined Normal / Survival / Creative all into one universe. I preferred playing with other people who were subject to the same constraints as me (even if the PC people could easily circumvent those constraints).

I would just play Permadeath but I’ve been on my Normal save since release night and couldn’t really stand to give it all up.
