      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.

        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.

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

    Elder Scrolls… So here’s hoping I land somewhere in Cyrodiil with a long gap in between major catastrophic events.

    My favorite fictional universe is Star Trek, but right now I’m really into The Expanse and that’s probably more interesting.

      I am a trekie too. I only hope to not get reincarnated on one of the planets that got razed to the ground for backgroundstory.
      Additionally it could be devastating for the federation if one trekkie gets assimilated by borg

    It’s nice to see how many of yall are quick with whatever your favorite fictional universe is…

    I have never put much thought into one I’d deem as a favorite. I like a lot of games, shows, books, and such… But I don’t think I’d be able to pick just one.

    I’m not certain if I’d be more fucked in Factorio, The Elder Scrolls, Terraria, or Stardew Valley. I’d be fucked either way though since I assume I’d be a rando off screen, and not the main character

      It’s pretty safe to be an NPC in thr Elder Scrolls as long as you aren’t important or interesting and you’re polite to adventurers.

        I held off the dragons till I did everything else because I got so annoyed with them killing townspeople in Skyrim.

        Morrowind taught me to take over some asshole dark elf’s house in Seyda Neen, and powelevel all my skills to 100 before I left the first town so that a random cliff racer, or kwarma forager didn’t take out me and any random NPC around me.

        Oblivion, beeline to Anvil, buy the house, and again just max out all my skills. Mostly so that the random encounters didn’t kill me. I don’t remember having issues keeping NPCs alive in that one.

        I’m entirely uncertain that any of us normal non magicka wielding randos would survive long in any of the most interesting times of mundus.

          Yeah something like the Oblivion Crisis would be tough on the commoners. But if I could just chill in Vivec City or even Whiterun for most of history it’s pretty safe.

    You mean I get to love on the Discworld on the backs of 4 giant elephants on the back of a cosmic turtle?

    HELL YEAH!
