Congrats!

I feel like my hours stat is worthless because I often go a few hours afk at a time while I do chores.

I've left it running overnight or while I go to work to let the factory do its thing

Might save some electricity by just running the server instead of the while game.

[–] Iheartcheese 2 points 2 weeks ago

I'll look into that

Same. My most played game has a launcher that doesn't close/force itself to the top when the game closes so steam continues to count playtime.

Although, I've spent so much time playing it now I think the time spent with just the launcher open is insignificant.

And yes, the launcher is necessary. It acts as a server picker since there are 100s (and the official servers are a mess)

Are you talking about Arma 3?

Congrats! I'm like 30 hours from hitting 1k, although technically I'm over already because I have 100+ hours from when I first got it on epic.

I want to say no man's sky station hanger was the inspiration

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Good guess, but it's a real place. Hint is that there are 10 train stations underneath that

Hm glass ceiling. Strasbourg?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

No but that's a good one, I have another large station I need to build, not as big as this one. I may use that

Very close, and I'll call you the winner! Moynihan hall. I really liked the open space, the glass peak, and the beam connections inside. It then also gave me the idea to build my normal hub buildings, warehouse, ammo, blueprint designer, into the surrounding building

[–] lordnikon 3 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you I just looked up Moynihan hall in Penn station. You are right it's very cool.

Are there any mods that can add enemies to the game / warfare? I love sandboxes, but get better mileage if there is an enemy to target, like biters in Factorio. Last time I played Satisfactory there were some slightly hostile mobs that didn't respawn

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

No shade, at all. But only 32 achievements?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So most of that playtime is pre-1.0, then also I've realized playing multiplayer you don't get credit for everything. I have to submit every milestone. So I'm going to miss some until I do my own solo factory.

For this one we just shipped phase 3, which sounds like a while, but we build now for phase 4 numbers, so every node we used is fully overclocked and maxed out, sinking everything. So computers for example have... 10 manufactures going right now, and that's only a fraction of what I'll actually need for supercomputers. We try to build early as soon as we get the alts for longevity

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Makes sense. I expected the answer to be more along the lines of just dicking around building aesthetic stuff, which is also valid.
