Factorio Thread

  • 🐕 I am attempting to get the site runnning as fast as possible. If you are experiencing slow page load times, please report it.
I don't know if I should play this game that much. I did the entire Tutorial campaign and after the first few hours into the last level I had a magical moment when I realized I no longer fully understood how anything in my own factory worked.
Time to abandon the entire factory, and build a bigger & better base directly next to it
 
Playing for the first time since full release. I finally put effort into advancing in the tech tree. I'm going to need to build a second base sooner than later to avoid everything becoming a mess.

Maybe after I launch a rocket.
 
The founder of the game, kovarex, has gotten into an argument with the community because he's too based

>I won't even search him up. You know why? Because I don't care at all. I don't care if he cheats on his wife, is a bigot, or pays proper tips in restaurant. These things are simply not relevant. If Stalin had a good writeup on programming, would linking that be dangerous, because some people might read it, start liking HIM, thus start liking communism and the ineviteble mass murder that follows it? Is this how little we trust other individuals when it comes to access to information? I personally trust my readers to have the ability to create their own opinions instead of blindly following whatever says the person they like.

I can't believe Factorio has been #Cancelled, how will the devs ever recover?

...Oh
 
I still don't understand how troons self inserted into a conversation that simply isn't about them
troons love to insert themselves into anything just to feel validated, let me give you a small example, Mickey Mouse apparently has an older sister pic related.

I found out in one of those "did you know?" trivia videos, and all the comments where trannies saying things like "OMG shes trans and lesbian", "mickey mouse has a trans sibling OMG so progressive", a personal "favorite" said: "Shes trans, sorry I don't make the rules".

tl:dr:
how would a untreated schizo insert themselves on any conversation?
there's your answer.
 
The Steam discussion board for Factorio is hilarious right now, always a joy seeing Reddit kiddies not realize just how small a minority they are.

Kovarex was an idiot for getting baited, but he's right that you cannot buy this sort of advertisement. So long as he doesn't apologize next week whatever expansion he and his team are building will sell like fine wine.
 
Fuck troons, fuck reddit, fuck cancelers. Similar thing happened with that Heartbeat game a few years back, theres a lot of value to be had simply in standing up to crazies, staying true to yourself, and taking the piss out of them. The amount of advertisement and reward someone gets from just fuckin' stand up to these losers is always hilarious, and always makes me feel a lot of respect for them. In a way, it makes me think normal people can outlast the weirdos and swing things back to normalcy.
 
kovarex: "communists commit mass murder.”

reddit: "woah, not cool man”

***
kovarex: “My players are smart enough to think for themselves and form their own nuanced opinions.”

reddit: “No we’re not.”

***
reddit: “We need to de platform people for their dangerous violent views.”

reddit: “We will also get assmad when people point out how, objectively, our own political views lead to violence.”

***
reddit: “Believe lived experiences”

kovarex: “I’ve seen how my homeland was ravaged by communists.”

reddit: “Only believe lived experiences that agree with our political views.”

There is so much beauty in this screenshot…
