    I’m more of a efficient circuit guy, so most factory games are not for me, because they are “build a 100 of this” to get things going.

        I was complete opposite. Filling up the bio generators was like a ticking clock and it stressed me out so much.

          That’s fair. The bio generators are a bit annoying. But nowadays you just go out exploring for a while and just grab all the plants and you are good until you unlock coal. There’s not much of a penalty with running out of power for a bit than a bit of time lost.

          These days you can belt it up to a stash, and fill that up to the brim. The bio burners are only really needed for like 0.1% of the game.

    FFF (Fun Factorio Fact): On Steam alone, players have wasted over 88,000 years of collective time playing the game. That’s not accounting for the fact they release a DRM-free version on their website.

      You know, when the apocalypse happens the machines won’t even bother bulding the simulation, they’re just gonna plug the human batteries into a Multiplayer Factorio server

        I was talking about this the other day;

        I hope when (if? 😭) millennials and zoomers retire some nursing homes become enormous persistent Lan parties.

        Imagine waking up, no work, no obligations, but you get to work on your factorio or Minecraft play through with the gang who are similarly flush with free time.

      I have 1,500 hours. But I know someone with 13,000 hours. That’s not a typo, thirteen thousand hours. 10,000 is on steam.

        Wow! I’m only 1000 hours on steam, but I know the real number is much higher. Factorio lan parties at work (all use a local nondrm copy, Factorio doest care). The factory must grow!

      But that’s the charm of it I’d argue. Saying “fuck it, this is fine” after running another belt supplying ammo across your entire production line despite already struggling with an expansion is peak Mindustry.
