Factorio Thread

That’s as much a stylistic choice as it is a necessity - the game intends to scale up almost indefinitely, if they weren’t careful it’d chug more than a fratboy
A good example of this is Satisfactory. Once you have built a ton of shit, the game starts to permanently run like shit. Keep going further and the engine (UE4) will start shiting itself. Granted there are ways to reduce the lag, by using mods like covered conveyors, but it tends to change the feel of the game. Factorio's graphics choice is as much of a design choice as it is a performance choice.
 
>YIKESSSSS

Fuck I hate those fags.
Woah there friendo. Did you really just say communism kills people? Yikes. Communism only gets people killed when it’s mismanaged by people like Stalin. It’s almost as if you really think communism is the problem here and not the people. Maybe if you tried being a decent human being you’d see that you’re wrong. : )

Edit: Thanks for the gold kind stranger.

Kill me now

Nigga, that is waaaaaay too much text for me to read. I am borderline autistic, bro.

Came back to this because I remembered, why do internet commies always go "Venezuela Iphone 6 Gorillion dead" every time anyone criticizes it? Honest question, since it always reads to me as these people mocking the suffering of people in Venezuela or any other communist regime.
It started as a rebuttal of their critics pointing out that many of them advocate communism (despite its litany of visible failures), are on SSDI/Welfare/Live with their parents or the like, constantly complain about financial hardship, and then post shit from a 600 dollar iphone while wearing designer clothing, buying expensive consumer tat, and eating expensive take-out all the time.

Basically they got so assmad that people pointed out that they're privileged shitters that make terrible financial decisions that, as is usually the tradition with leftist memes, they repackaged the criticism into a strawman variant of it and used it to bitch (something true of them calling other people snowflakes, for example).
Essentially they are this image:

I like Satisfactory, but the choice of using UE4 for such a game is not a very good one. Foremost, UE4 is possibly one of the least efficient engines in regards to CPU. Yes, graphically it performs quite well, on the other hand its a poorly optimized mess when it comes to memory and CPU. Its 100% possible to have a factory building game with the graphics of Satisfactory and perform very well. Even on much older CPUs. However the use of UE4 and the programmers blatant disregard of CPU performance will hold Satisfactory back imo. We live in a world of Soydevs now.

I wonder how someone could make a game like that on an old-ass, well-researched engine like the Quake engine. Wouldn't look nearly as good, but it ought to be an interesting experiment.

Quake was written completely in C. So you can do anything you want with it (assuming you have its source).

If anyone gives a shit: Factorio was written in C++ (assuming its not C style C++) with allegro to provide easy low-level hardware access. Recently they have completely replaced it with there own solution I think.

"Chud" is the most low effort insult ever. It's to be expected, coming from them.

I swear I could never take that insult seriously, even if I tried.
why do these people always say shit like "By the elder Gods!" "Gods Have mercy!"

Paganism is retarded but these people are so retarded I dont even think they have the ability to properly appeal to something like a perennialist worldview. I think they actually think they are subject to Stannis Baratheon IRL.

Programming wizard (and finngolian zogbot) Bisqwit tried it, check it out:



And they can look pretty damn good, definitely not full-on pathtracing but really good nonetheless.

Brocialists and their Communist Chic aesthetics goes to show that they'll always be economical incels.
 
I think it was mentioned upthread that the review bombing triggered Steam's anti-review bombing measures.
Yes, even legitimate reviews unfortunately get purged from the game's score when this happens since it's a blanket smokescreen across the listed date range. As usual these idiot troons do more harm than good by causing legitimate reviews that people spent time and effort on to be less helpful all while parading around thinking they've done the world a service. And they seriously wonder why nobody wants to hire their dumb asses.
 
There are member states and member states. Poland and Hungary are member states, too. You think Viktor Orban gives a shit about globohomo? If the EU tries to throw its weight around at least some of these will leave. Or just tell them "you and what army?"
Can't speak about Hungary but Poland's "fascist" gov grifts a ton of money from EU and uses it for, among others, funding their TV anti-opposition propaganda, election campaigns and voter gibs. Also launders that money through various charities/fundations which are OFC staffed with their buddies/family members. EU can't really punish them for bullying the globohomos, but they can take away the money. Poland may bark a lot but will not leave the EU as long as the money flows.

It's kinda funny because EU is financially supporting their future political enemies this way.
