If he can lay down a four-belt balancer from memory, you are the side hoe to his Factorio addiction.
Her: "He's thinking about other women now...isn't he?
Him: "If I rebuilt my rocket control units factory, I could reach a rocket launch every 4 minutes vs 4.5. Then if I optimize my platform in space....."
Platform in space? What what what? Is it time to sink another 100 hours?
Check out the Space Exploration Mod. The Vanilla game is like the first 10% of the mod. It's truly a lot. It's so good that the modder was hired to help make the expansion.
I avoid mods for Factorio because it feels like switching from heroin to fentanyl
Probably but if you're getting your high, is it really so wrong?
:p
All freebasing the dopamine loop. Straight chasing the verisimilitude dragon. Cold bioengineering a 99% pure micro-accomplishment. Dropping into the euphoric liminal pool until immersed in a digital dream you can never fully reach, and never fully escape until you are inevitably forced to surface in the real. Cold and wet with the silt of the riverbed you scream to the Gods ''WHY WON'T YOU KILL ME, I AM, WEAK AND, NUMB AND, INSIGNIFICANT!''
I have Factorio and Stellaris in my steam wish list but every time a sale comes up I’m still laying plans for a reactor building or organ “donation” center in Rimworld and realize if I buy more of these I’ll just never sleep or eat again.
Factorio has never gone on sale. The price did go up from US$30 to $35 during the worst of the inflation. At some point this year, we’ll get a version 2.0 that massively updates the core game, and has an expansion you can optionally purchase.
Or patiently await version 2 😁
100? Barely enough to get to space
I play Satisfactory instead, but I felt that in my soul.
We may pray to different gods, but the factories must grow.
Four to four balancer ist easy. How about a eight by eight?
I was about to say this. At LEAST wait for a 6 belt balancer to think the man can't be saved.
Which one? The shortest one with the bump on the side, or the narrow on that is never wider than 8 belts?? Here, let me show yo…. Ohmigawd.
Yeah, my first thought is that the 'map games' are the side hoe to my factory game addiction, which is mostly Factorio.
