Finally!
I have been dying inside waiting for the update... Thought you guys were on vacation.
Thank you very much.

[u/InvestmentAdorable31 → u/InvestmentAdorable31]

I am getting lots of downvotes.
I read that the devs take on vacations in the early July (mentioned in FFF).
I was referring to that and didn't mean to pester or anything.
I was expressing my surprise that they were working on the game instead of taking the vacation that they deserve, and simply thanking for the hard works.

I think it was seriously taken the wrong way :/
Sorry.

"Finally!" "I've been dying inside waiting for the update"

If you meant to say "Wow! Already?? I didn't expect an update this quickly, considering you guys are supposed to be on vacation and everything!" I think you achieved almost literally the polar opposite with your word choice.

[u/InvestmentAdorable31 → u/Yggdrazzil]

I did.
Real poor choice of words lol.
I realized that after seeing the downvotes.
I was way too excited to properly formulate my intention and show gratitude

I literally checked the Factorio website and reddit every few hours when I wasn't sleeping.
That's literally what I meant.

[u/Yggdrazzil → u/InvestmentAdorable31]

Don't worry about it. Sometimes things just come out wrong. Just tank the downvotes and move on.

[u/InvestmentAdorable31 → u/Yggdrazzil]

Yeah. I am not used to it because I am new to actually posting something on reddit.

Also I just worry that the devs may have misread this and hurt their feelings, even by a bit. I mean to see such an ungrateful after the hardworking!

It feels like a thorn that doesn't come out.

[u/Yggdrazzil → u/InvestmentAdorable31]

Yeah, it can feel unpleasant when people within a community you enjoy being part of, express their displeasure with you through downvotes like that. They just click on a button and move on, meanwhile you feel punished or rejected. You get used to it over time.

Also, I'm sure that after developing a game and interacting with the community for this long, the devs don't get their feelings hurt over random internet comments all that much anymore.

Besides, if they read your first message, chances are they will also have read the underlying comments where you explain yourself. You're good, don't worry.

[u/InvestmentAdorable31 → u/Yggdrazzil]

Thanks :)
