Zzz Mafia on mobile data

Hey does anyone play most of, or a significant fraction of their mafia using mobile data? how much do you generally find yourself using to like keep up with a game or two

I'm going to be wandering out in the boonies for maybe a month or two and data is an arm and a leg in my country but it's been too long. As far as I can tell the only thing that may be an issue is when people start spamming images, iirc videos already don't autoload. I think maybe I'll tether to my laptop and disable loading images via extension to reduce bandwidth consumption as a drastic measure.

It never used a bunch of data for me.
Just how far out in the boonies will you be though, because some spots have poor signal.

Mmm signals not a problem in this case, tbh data probably wouldn't be either if I didn't have to like minmax. So like assuming worst case scenario 1gb/30d and 0 visits to places with wifi it'd be avg like 33.3 mb/day, as a really rough example full game plot mod ISO (z) when saved to desktop is like 13.1 mb (9.4 of which are images), so assuming I was playing in a few such games with some gifposters added in, things got hyperposty and I decided to take up VCA and nothing got loaded from cache in successive days of usage it'd probably be too much. I've done a bit of browsing with images disabled though and network usage is almost negligible there and ideally I'll use hotspots occasionally as well so it should all be good. Thanks

I browse mafiascum on mobile data all the time (and site chat) but it never used a considerate amount of data.

Just started recently, but there didnt seem to be any significant spike in data usage since i started browsing. I have yet to peruse gifspammed threads though.
