82% on Experimental? Wow. I think this is a good sign that 0.D is overdue.
4 people playing in isometric mode. Woo! I look forward to expanding that number. It will soon be polished enough that I will be comfortable putting isometric screenshots on the wiki.
I’m one of the 32 who tagged OTHER in the mods list. I listed about a dozen mods that I’ve picked up from the forums. I’m curious enough about what other people put there that I’m going to dig through that csv to see…I’ll post my findings.
This started as a statistics game and turned into a mod list. I’ll probably relocate it to it’s own message after I clean it up a bit. I didn’t make any of this content, I’m willing to help you with it, but I’m not responsible for any damage you do to your games trying to add any of these mods to it. Read carefully, ymmv, the bathroom is on the right.
If I messed something up or you want me to add something, pm me. I’ll move thisto it’s own thread soon n I don’t want to clutter up this one.
I’m fascinated by the 8 people in the “other” category under operating system.
Even accounting for things like obscure linux branches and homebrew legacy updates, that’s a surprising number of people.

Probably those guys playing the game on their Win 3.1 and their IBMDOS

So were there any major surprises here for people? (@ both dev/mod folks and just plain players)
I know I was a bit surprised at how many people play hordes mode.
(I can see the appeal, just way too !!FUN!! for my tastes as a all-the-time thing.)

I did not think people play with that many mods. I appreciate the vanilla experience but I might be missing on some of those additional stuff.
