Factorio.

I'm fucked, because I'm also terrible at optimizing my factory

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 18 hours ago

You only have to optimize the factory enough to protect yourself. If you can progress faster than the biters, you're probably fine.

Nah its cool factorio guy doesn't HAVE to leave.

No pollution, no biters.

Very doable.

Just find an island, 100 stone for 2 landfill, and get to the island by picking up a landfill behind you and placing it in front of you.

You have eternity, so take trips off your island to mine things by hand, craft things by hand, etc.

Eternity awaits.

Yeah the only thing stopping you is the laws of physics which are seemingly different here. This could work.

[–] ThisSeriesIsFalse@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure you can't pick up landfill without mods.

i think vanilla 2.0 also works

[–] ThisSeriesIsFalse@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

No shit? Well hell, I gotta play more Space Age then, my current spawn doesn't have a lotta water so I haven't needed landfill, and I've yet to get to another planet.

In the base game too

Counterpoint

This planet is unprocessed, and I will be the one to refine it. The Factory Must Grow.

I don't know shit about factorio really but this is still really funny and I feel like I understand it more now and it makes me wish even more that I liked playing it

I highly recommend watching The Worst Guide To Factorio, which is where that quote came from. Gives a great overview of the game with awesome lines like that.

Some other great ones include:

Do you have a STEM degree or similar mental affliction?

Using this very average German, we need to build an automation factory, and to do this, we're going to become more obsessed with belts than an anime protagonist so that we can accomplish more insertions than a sounding enthusiast.

It was never about winning, it's about sending a message. This planet is alive, and I'm going to teach it fear. And in order to do that, we're going to be expanding harder than a furry artist trying to make rent.

Hope you started this several hours ago, because now it's time for the Kovarex enrichment process. ... Fun fact: It's named after the game's lead developer and works by exposing the uranium 238 to the radioactive yikes that is his Reddit posts.

Scale up our circuit production to an absurd degree and consume them like they're Doritos. Size does matter and anyone who tells you otherwise is a bottom, and I'm always on top of my game.

And probably my favorite:

Finally, I have to address a bit of an elephant in the room. The lead developer of this game kind of sucks. I truly hope they've had a redemption arc since their controversy but I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending this game without acknowledging it. So to balance the scales I've done what any reasonable person would do in this situation. I learned LUA out of spite and made a mod that lets you be gay and select pronouns.
