I can't be the only person who is happy with delays, I have so many games to play I don't mind them taking their time to do some more work on a project.

There is a demo available if you'd like to try for yourself.

There are mods, but Encased doesn't seem to be mod-friendly. From my experience, the crafting system is just fine, and you get a stash you can use to store all of the junk that you don't want to carry with you.

I don't know, I doubt there're a lot of mods for this game, being somewhat niche. I might have overstated the problem with weight limit, once you get a party it becomes reasonably high, especially if you got power armor. Also I don't think crafting is such a problem that the game should be avoided, it's pretty fun so far.

Are there mods? I know in the Witcher 3 I got a mod that made everything zero weight, except the armor and weapons.

crafting has been mostly forgettable in Encased. Wish the materials weren't so expensive

I have been playing this game since early access but they have not figured how to make the game more appealing in the prologue. It only your hand too much at the start.

Where is the local co-op?

Ugh.... Crafting...

The problem with a crafting system like this is that you have to pick up every piece of garbage since it's all useful, while you have a weight limit. And of course picking all the crap up and crafting itself only slows down the game, and not in a fun way. Btw, there are anomalies which are kind of like radiation.
