    I’m still trying to complete Satisfactory before I go back to old habits. Belt management is so unique in Factorio that I’m going to need a refresher anyway.

    So they reworked the tech tree and added new planets?

      And a fuckton of qol stuff. And the new planets each hold a massive amount of new content. In terms of technologies, but they also all have a fundamentally different crafting chain based on different available resources.

    Such a great game. If you’ve never played - now’s a great time to start. They changed it just enough where all your old tricks either don’t work or are obsolete. Back to spaghetti factories and making blueprints!

    Although I was SHOCKED last night to realize cliff explosives are all the way down the tech tree now. I need to redo my entire base now.

    FCOL, I don’t even know what Factorio is. Guess I’d better check it out…

    Should I kiss my marriage and job goodbye now?

    Two days? Impossible. I installed space age within moments of it being available and that was only like two hours ago. Right? right?

    On the plus side. Automated red and green science!

    Why does it dip at night?
    Do people actually stop playing factorio, just to sleep?

        I had to pause and drive to work, 20 minutes of downtime.

        Aah

        Do people actually stop playing factorio, just to work (on something else than the factory)?
