They started pushing these a few weeks ago at the NOLA store. They looked gross and much lower quality than the round ones they used to have. Thanks for the "hands on" review.

Aww, cheer up little guy, we'll go hop some dunes later!

I'm weirdly reminded of the taxi from Who Framed Roger Rabbit

Feels like there will be an Analyzer in the future to finish this trilogy (until someone thinks of more probing puns).

Same with "pirates" or "medieval times" or "samurai japan." Our popular conceptions about a lot of time periods are heavily compressed and tropified. Yeah some of them technically lasted for hundreds of years but we just pretend that swashbucklers, armored knights, and ninjas (and cowboys) were all happening around the same time and remained as we depict them for the entirety of their existences.

"Yeah man, I'm fluent, says so on my CV!"

"But it just says 'Fluent'. Fluent in what?"

"What do you got?"

I haven't played Satisfactory (or any factory game) in MP either! Hopefully we're finding a good balance.

Feeling emboldened by what you said, I went ahead and unlocked a few additional milestones we had the resources stocked for. Area Clearing gets solid fuel and the chainsaw which both help out with power until coal is unlocked. I updated the power plant to use the new fuel.

Field Research because I just really wanted the map, haha. I built a MAM but didn't research anything. ADA's commentary for most milestones is meh but I find the research comments pretty funny and wanted to leave them for others to enjoy.

And Assembly because I really wanted to build that reinforced plate factory! We already had mark 2 belts but you need so many plates for everything! So now we've got a plate factory slowly cranking them out.

I left some extra equipment in the Hub chest, save folks the build time. There's most of tier 2 still to unlock. Lots of MAM research to do. Some iron nearby that could make a nice rotor factory. And the space elevator should be ready to build now! Make sure to clear a big spot for it!

Hello! I popped on for a few minutes today to check out the server! Looks like a good start.

I threw some extra portable miners up on the copper and limestone to the south (near the oasis) and set up a few storages and constructors to improve the power grid. Hopefully I can rejoin sometime soon when others are available.

Addition: Well I had some extra time so I played around in your (our?) world a little more. Upgraded the power plant, ran some spaghetti belts for copper and limestone to the main factory. I started on a plate factory when I realized assemblers weren't unlocked yet and I didn't want to attempt any milestones without other people on. So I gave up on that idea for now. Assuming the biofuel holds out, there ought to be enough materials to build the elevator after a little while!

I managed until university when I left calculus and entered "Linear Algebra" and man, I really don't like matrices.

Several of these irritate me but ultimately evoke a solid

But fuck me playing with the person who came up with these would test my patience.

Pizza, V? I suppose cheese and meats are optional. One can. Some do. If we get into "It has minerals in it!" then we'll have to argue about what atoms are, so fine, pass.

Guitar (!) Strings, A? I know about catgut, for violens in my mind, but let us wiki it. Huh neat, catgut is intestenal fiber from usually goat or sheep, sometimes cat-tle, but never actually cat. And, while still preferred for concert harps and classical instruments, guitars all mostly switched to steel in the 1900s (and nylon or mixed later). So when was this game printed, how old are you imagined-ghost-of-the-author?
