I streamed some Permadeath Mode last night and as user "oldtimeywimey" said in the chat, just after I narrowly escaped into shelter from a raging firestorm on my starting planet, "moments of calm feel even more poignant in this mode."
And it's true, the feeling of coziness inside while a storm howls outside is a basic joy of this game for me. The more dangerous a planet is the nicer it feels if you can find a bit of safety in it. Take care of yourselves out there, fellow travelers.
