Played through a bit of the mod despite knowing it's currently on hiatus. Had a pretty fun time! I haven't grabbed everything, but went through all the Story Missions in Levels 1 and 2. I went ahead and used the separate Google Drive download link to find all the Wasps for Level 1, and haven't bothered with all gags due to the amount present. I haven't played around with the Fully Connected Map too much, so the mod utilizing it plus the intentionally higher difficulty from the base game was a fun way to do that. The mod as a whole feels like a 'Hard New Game Plus Mode'.
I don't have too much to comment on as I'm not quite sure when you'd be interested in resuming development for the time being, but I felt the Fully Connected Map mod usage in the Story Missions got a lot more creative going from Level 1 to Level 2. A lot more missions have their starting locations modified or find ways to bridge into the other maps, for instance. The larger map size is complimented nicely by the larger reward list. I love Borb's custom costumes, and they feel right at home here, nicely adding to that 'extended' feel the mod is aiming for.
I didn't encounter any major bugs either. I only really noticed two pretty minor typos/errors in two separate stage messages, but they were very minor. Curious to see what you have next!
