I’d say it holds up extremely well, especially with mods, but your enjoyment will depend on what you look for in a game.

The sandbox and exploration elements are the best part of the game IMO, but if you don’t care about that kind of thing, you might not like it.

Based on the other comments, it seems like it’s more in case there’s an earthquake or something and the elevator is stuck under rumble. If you were trapped in an elevator under rubble for a few days, it’d probably be nice to have a snack on hand.

If you’re in a situation where you can’t get out of the space without bonking the cars next to you, wouldn’t you most likely have had to bonk them to get in?
