I used to enjoy Factorio solo but now after trying it on multiplayer, solo feels "meaningless" :( Not that mp has meaning either but feels different.

What is it with human psyche that triggers this? Why collaboration and competition feels better than a relaxed solo experience?
Lets find out!

I actually had the opposite. I used to play it in multiplayer, but I can really only play it solo now.

Might also something to do with that i played for dozens of hours in a week Oo

I found that as soon as I missed a single session, I could never catch up with what had happened in the meantime. I'd lag behind forever afterwards.

It is rather interesting to see the approach of other people to a similiar problem.
I tend to build small factories that barely meets the demand. And then there is Bob... builds 137 furnaces, 378 assembly machines just for an ingredient xD

Future-proofing, baby!

Once I found an efficient way to play Factorio, I started enjoying it less, actually. I kinda enjoyed it when I cramped the shit out of everything and had to make all kinds of weird constructions to save everything . I found messy factories more interesting than clean ones.

I might try that at some point but i just can't seem to find the "perfect map" to do my ultimate playthrough. I started over many times, maps just don't click with me :(

Yeah, that's why I don't understand people insist on playing without cliffs on. "They're so annoying"... Oh no! You have to actually work within the constraints of a randomly generated map, rather than building the exact same factory on a perfectly flat empty map every time! :(

[General]

IIRC mp map we played on did not have cliffs no? I was thinking something was missing

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

Yeah, I think that was offset by all the new stuff we had to get used to, but I'd prefer to have it on next time.

Also, the ability to place things down extremely far away is completely OP and I definitely abused it when biters were getting through the walls.

Yeah kinda ruins the difficulty while dealing with early biters, you can just set walls and turrets

Also, it was 31c INSIDE the house when i got back from work

Nobody needs that many C's!

What about the D's?

Dear YouTube, please stop suggesting 'Professional x reviews amateur y'-videos. I don't give a shit. I have never given a shit. I never will give a shit.

[Chyros]

Youtube has recently started recommending those primitive technology channels with guys with dirty feet in them Oo .

[Slightly Wonky Robob]

I watched I'm thinking of ending things a couple of days ago, and I can't stop thinking about it.

It's really dark and weird.

[General]

Well, stop thinking about it.
says the guy which can't stop thinking about a person which dumped him years ago

[Chyros]

Just stop thinking!

It's funny 'cause they normally do it at midnight, but it's like 11... it's like 11:15.

[Chyros]

They mostly come at night. Mostly.

Fuckin' turn that up. I like that groovin'... What kinda music is that? Like, a bossa nova beat?

Noticed I'm getting quite a few puzzled looks at my "ESCHEW OBFUSCATION" t-shirt .
