Yup, I seem to have severly underestimated the enthusiasm people have for this game.
I did not expect to get such an in-depth response, holy shit. Thank you! Saving your comment for when I get around to giving Factorio another whirl.
It is, I'm just kidding around. Your question was innocent enough, it's just that the comments look like a battlefield.
I dunno. I feel like diverting resources to defense systems, necessary as they are, makes the factory less efficient than anything, but that's just me.
OP, what have you unleashed.
Automation games are usually my jam, but I bounced off Factorio pretty quickly. The automation part I got really into. I wanted to keep things as efficient as possible, but then I kept being interrupted by fauna attacks and I kinda hated the disruption. It didn't help that various defense systems like turrets and the like needed their own supply chain for ammo, so I had to drop everything, start working on that, monsters started attacking my base on another location, rinse, repeat. You get the idea.
I am aware you can turn off the attacking fauna, but that feels like turning off an integral part of the game, so I dunno.
My brother is currently way, WAY into it, though, so I might give it another shake in the future.
Ah, fair enough.
Blatantly stupid AND satisfying!
If you’ve been following the debate, you’ve probably seen countless discussions about whether this makes sense — arguments about “consumer confusion,” “tradition,” and “clarity.”
Thank god for that. I can't tell you how many times I've ordered a Veggie Burger and when I took a bite... vegetables! I can't keep all these facts straight, man!
Or are you just observing and enjoy your peace of mind because you switched already to Linux before?
Yes, that. As far as my circle of friends and acquaintances who are running Win10 are concerned, I've made the effort to advise them to switch to something newer for security reasons. They will probably switch to Windows 11, but that is their concern.
Here's how the clan selection screen looks at the moment:
FP3 user here. I use LineageOS. It may not be as hardened as Graphene or Calyx, but it gets the job done and it still gets updates.
