    The last game I played had me building a self-sufficient factory so large that I had to heavily dip into the logistics tech tree to navigate it.

    The constant pollution does sort of upset the neighbors.

      I want to love Factorio but all the drama surrounding its creator have really put me off.

      Not a single sale in its entire lifespan but somehow being okay with doubling the price nearly a decade after release?

      Defending statutory rape?

      Idk man, maybe I’ll pirate it or something.

            Kovarex seems to be the only problematic one, and considering factorio is developed by a lot more people, it seems its mostly just one bad apple, but that apple is one of the owners and lead devs so

        Yeah, I got it a while back, and figure I might as well play it since I have it.

        I’ve been on a 2d kick lately. Factorio, Rimworld,Stardew, Mindistry, etc. I even replayed Bastion last year.

          I love Rimworld, I’m thinking of trying out Dwarf Fortress but it looks so daunting.

          And yeah man, after being obsessed with Hades I decided to check out all their games. Loved Bastion and am playing Pyre rn.

            Dwarf fortress is very easy.

            Dont overthink factorio. If you want to get a deal, buy an argentine cd key or something.

              Thanks, I appreciate the advice! Honestly Dwarf Fortress seemed pretty intimidating so I was thinking of passing on it, but I think I’ll go ahead and check it out. Someone saying it’s easy helps lol.

              And yeah I probably should, maybe i’ll finally look into getting Factorio. It’s been on my wishlist for long enough.

            The steam version of Dwarf Fortress is relatively accessible. You don’t need to interact with all of the systems right away.

            Also Pyre is great. Very underrated.

              Note that DF’s Steam version lets you destroy stairs in a way that makes them impossible to rebuild, so be careful with stairs.

                I haven’t run into that problem, but it sounds stairable. Would have me in hystairics.

          We finally got The Dark Fog in Dyson Sphere Program! It’s absolutely a blast as well. I dunno if you travel to other planets/ systems in Satisfactory, but DSP is kinda like a 3D Factorio with Space Exploration installed. Not quite as complex though, cause the DSP devs didn’t make you rely on random chance. When Nilaus says “I’m calling this done, because it will be eventually,” you did something terribly wrong.

            I found that the late game in DSP tends to center around hydrogen logistics, and it drags the whole thing down. They’re still considered early access, though, and could fix this.
