Are vanilla tweaks "cheating"?
What have we decided on vanilla tweaks in hardcore? (obv everyone has their opinion but general consensus). Specifically stuff like falling trees or other small tweaks that dont make the game easier but makes small tasks like gathering materials easier. I know the hardcore youtubers that do the crazy stuff that takes months use mods that make things easier but dont change how the game plays or add anything extra (for example the mod that lets you paste a template of a build or farm for you to follow). So my question; generally is that considered not a vanilla hardcore world if you have vanilla tweaks on?
I personally think that small tweak mods like that are fine even for the hardcore youtubers (mainly because most dont show us the weeks of footage of them gathering materials so why not have a mod that makes it faster?) but please tell me why others may consider it cheating cause i havent heard the other side before.
also i know it doesnt really matter especially for private worlds that no one will ever see but i kust wanna know.
