So, yeah, making a logfile is not really a hard thing to make but making it so that logfile does not end up taking gigs worth of data, that's an issue.

Hard drive space has gone up so very in the past decade.
Per the Steam Hardware survey
54% of users had over 1 TB in HDD space.
Almost 95% had 250 GB or above

How can a log file that is mostly text based takes up that much space?
Even if it takes up say 1 GB, which would be massive for a log file.
1 GB is a drop in the bucket for PCs of the last decade.
I am tired of 2000s and early 2010s thinking holding this game series back.
I feel like I am in the minority here, but I wish more people would push OOTPD to actually innovate and take advantage of modern resources and computing technology.
