Gleba has killed the game for me.

I feel like the most important circuit missing for my enjoyment, after all this time remains cross-surface comms. I still don't vibe with "but let it run constantly and void stuff".

Then don't do it ?

You don't need cross surface comms, after all this time you surely have come accross smarts solutions

This game ... is one of the most Moddable games ever made.

If a player has a problem with something, there will be a mod or a setting to make the "annoying" thing go away. I understand that Gleba is annoying, so:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/gleba-reborn
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/better_gleba_start
... https://mods.factorio.com/mod/delete-gleba

One could say "but I should be able to play easier the way it is", well, some game with limited ability to change things will probably annoy everyone, and when EVERYONE is annoyed, things sometimes change as a whole. In Factorio, WE can control everything down to the most minute level, so if Gleba is so bad, just work around Gleba.

All I am saying here is that if your topic was "Gleba is really REALLY annoying do you people agree" I would be backing you up, but saying "Gleba killed my game" is nonsensical. It's like saying "they changed oxygen mechanics in my fav space survival game, I quit" and when told "just untick the new box in Settings called "use new oxygen mechanics" the person sais "BUT I WANT TO PLAY IT WITHOUT TICKING BOXES", I'm sorry but it's a bit weird.

You quit games when the game as a whole CAN NOT be made playable to you because "the problem" cant be dealt with, ie online games you can't control. Factorio is NOT that game.

You didn't get the point: "Gleba has killed the game for me" - is about game impression on me. I was playing, I was having fun, but after Gleba I quit my playthrough. And not once. It happen several times (3 times in my case). I start playing, I'm having fun, then - boom - I don't want to play it anymore... And what interesting I was switching planets and mods but still - it happens on Gleba.

Now I'm playing with different modset long time (that I haven't played Factorio at all) and I have conquired Gleba partially, but still not fully, so for now I don't know if it will or will not ruin my play this time.

So, when people write in this topic they just want to point out the fact that "Gleba just struck us out of the game! We don't like it!".
