After a very long hiatus from the game, I've come back and have enjoyed it even more than I did before. When I first started playing, there was just too many parts for this noob and I did get overwhelmed. Not really knowing how to build my rockets and having dozens of wobbly rockets that fell apart. I see the stock tech trees getting a lot of bad rep but for me, I enjoy them. They help me take each step slowly and actually get me wanting to complete missions to other planets to get more science. But.. I feel the later stages of the tech tree need to be worked on. The baby steps helped me be able to launch stuff but it seems some things just feel too out of place, so I'm going to be switching to one of the custom trees.
