that explains why pollution is modeled as a nuisance that is impossible to ever fully mitigate
Isn't this the game where the start warns about the "natives" retaliating eventually? also I'm proud to say I've only pirated this
Yeah, they kill you for polluting the environment. I always play on peaceful.
If you play on peaceful, they only attack you if you attack them first.
Further justification for why I prefer Satisfactory. Also this fucking libertarians. LMFAO I posted this before I saw your edit about being a Ron Paul guy. EVERY GOD DAMN TIME.
Factorio has a more well balanced production chain, but DSP is definitely going to surpass it soon. Absolutely amazing game.
I love Factorio, and if the devs weren't full of brainworms, I'd say its worth $30. Lots of people have hundreds of hours, theres tons of great mods, the community is usually good (I haven't seen it since this whole thing started, but normally they're decent). I can understand not liking it since its a bit of a coder/engineer brainrot type of game.
I agree, mods are where the meat of Factorio is. Same with Minecraft. Mods for both just add so much, fix so many things (which is funny since Factorio prided itself for "design" when so much was annoying), and can add more than 3 DLCs worth of content for free. Its funny too, since the devs of both suck.
It is still not a $30 game even since “completion.”
I have a friend with 1.6k hours in Factorio and he's still not bored of it. It's definitely worth $30.
WAS worth $30, just encourage people to use alternative methods now.
Sadly probably not happening. Steam return policy already garbage. Just tell you're CC company it's a fraudulent charge you just noticed.
I'm having trouble deciphering this, whats up with Factorio dev? He likes some problematic programmer and wont shut up about it?
Why do the bad guys' social views invalidate how good his code is? I'm not an anarchist currently but when I was a lot of my views were built on my reading of Bakunin, who was an unabashed antisemite. Didn't invalidate his political theories. This is major lib brain all around.
That and is also a Libertarian who has a lot of thoughts on age of consent laws.
Robert C. Martin, author of Clean Code and Agile Principles, Patterns, and Practices, which were both compendiums of work from other software engineering authors that were otherwise either paywalled academic research papers or other "deep dive"-type books that you could really just summarize in a page or three to get the gist across, which is what he generally did. Clean Code was basically THE book on how to transform 1990s enterprise Java code into something semi-manageable, although it's basically the tech nerd version of :jordan-eboy-peterson: -- which, quite frankly, a lot of software devs need, since you don't get it in academia.
Unfortunately, "Uncle Bob" Martin is an outspoken boomer CHUD who is incapable of even the slightest self-crit, and has really just been coasting on the coattails of two books that he wrote 12 and 18 years ago. If you're ever trapped in the Java ecosystem, I highly recommend pirating those two books. A lot of the shit he wrote in '09 is still pretty relevant today, and if nothing else, the bibliographies are a great jumping-off point to the aforementioned "deep dive" works.
So glad I pirated that shit.
