>>587442608How did we let this happen anons...>>587393729Base game stormworks is god tier, the space DLC is a bit meh.Its nice to build a rocket, its fun to build logic to control stuff without atmosphere, you get to do moon missions which are fine. I feel like travelling so far with the stormworks garage-only building system is a turn off.It's probably worth it, but it was hard to get into, I need to try a bit harder.
man I fucking hate how long train builds take to set up compared to mainbussing it

>>587376559>setting up biter brothels so you can harvest biter "fluid" that somehow works as a better lubricantnearly every fluid in the body is dedicated to become less viscous as soon as it's outside the body. The only exception I can think of is digestive fluid(including saliva). Cum is suppose to stay but spit is suppose to be the first part of breaking you down.
>>587449045>nippleanon....
>>587449045Personally, I am filling the aether with my desire for total gacha death so the gacha games go to the mobile board.
>>587449045wtfi just got promoted when my boss saw this image
Should I build this many Crystal Mines and Glassworks for 6SPM py1? or will there be a better recipe down the line
>>587449045condiment dispensers are shaped the same as nipples.
Why'd the last one die so soon?
I blame gachas.
>Computing not producing as much as it canWhats the deal with this happening? Its causing hiccups in other places but I don't see why its not producing as much as it could.
Meanwhile, I appreciate people saying it looks tidy, but a close up to really grasp just how much spaghetti goes on in these builds.
This is one neat little setup as well, but for some reason the rightmost chain keeps getting clogged up.
The multi-farm-train also working reasonably well, with the exception of occasionally taking a different route and coming in by the wrong side.Balancing is the tricky part, as obviously some crops need to be produced a lot more than others, it needed a bit of adjusting, but assigning double wagons for specific crops seem to have done the trick.
>>587459159uh oh what's this?!
Meanwhile, this little mess of a central hub of mine seems to be reaching critical mass. While its fun to see the little trains going in and out all the time, and its nothing short of a miracle that it doesn't get clogged up.Switching to mixed ore and bigger trains would certainly solve the problem at hand, but at the same time I foresee that mixed ore mainline can have quite a lot of backing up issues.>>587459629You're seeing things anon.
On another note, the other day I happened to start playing with earphones plugged in from something else, and I was quite surprised at how pleasant all the random environmental sound effects are.I could lose hours just listening to it and see shit going around.
Am I retarded for doing this instead of just using fluid wagons?
>>587461000Unless you're shipping barrels to space. In all other cases, yeah, that's retarded
>>587449045PROMOTIONS
>>587461000Unless somehow legendary cargo wagons outscale legendary fluid wagons this is just useless, more complex and slower than slapping a single pump
>>587451542That seems about right, yeah. Yes- there will be a better recipe soon for both molten glass (based on crushed quartz) and for the actual glassware and petri dishes (involving hot air). The molten glass one, you'll want.- the glass blowing ones involving hot air are debatable.
I FUCKING LOVE PRE-FOUNDATION VULCANUS
I'm disappointed 2.1 didn't add much in the way of circuit control over trains. I feel like you should be able to set up something cybersyn-esque if you tried hard enough but if there's a way to do it in a way that's at all scalable I don't see it.
am i missing something? why can't neither Factory Planner nor helmod calculate how much stone furnace I need for 6spm?
>>587469779it's trying to use your stone furnace making bricks as the only source of ash
>>587469779well, furnace in the top one assembler in the second. allow ash to be an input and it should work
>>587457873busy playing scavgame

Gleba is just a burner phase with ash disposal in disguiseThe whole planet is just a psyop to get you interested in trying py
>>587480783gleba is just a planet that requires you to switch to ratios instead and not overproducealmost everyone gets absolutely brain blasted by this, it's unrealgleba is one of the easiest planets
>>587481005why not overproduce? fruits are infinite, everything spoils and gets burnt
>>587481182Annoyingly inefficient in terms of pollution and Big pentapods require rare and higher quality tesla turrets not to explode with the range of the strafers. Nobody says you *can't*, just that it's not a good idea unless you know what you're doing.
also if you're not a little bitch you play with behemoth pentapods and those things need legendary teslas
>>587442976Damn. That's kind of sad to hear. I've never even made a boat and only did the initial rescue mission before I gave up on the game (I was just too busy at the time)Really, we just need a much better Space Engineers and SE2 is not it.
>>587481365>>587481623I never bothered with higher quality teslas but I had legendary rocket turrets with teslas as a back up for their deadzones.
>>587482495rocket turrets are also an option but they require actual ammo compared to 1 bit of nuclear fuel from fruit go brr, but sure.

Playing with someone who refuses to advance the state of the game and instead spends all his time building walls and setting up quality modules in every single assembler to filter off a trickle of high quality intermediatesI swear some people just refuse to think in "big picture" terms
dont show them fulgora and tier t3 modules with 2 more quality tiers unlocked
>>587500032this seems backwards, chain into one-way single lanes, but regular into bidirectional two lanes
>>587500651I've been obsessing over trains instead of putting that much progress into the next science pack so I get it. But I'm enjoying myself anyway.
ran out of space for the bus, now I gotta start running trains before boxed shit
Is Factorio worth paying 200 bucks for?
>>587504852whats a buck worth
>>587504852yes, cue the>the northernlion line about slay the spire being worth 3000 dollars but replace slay the spire with factorio

>>587518938hey now you just wait a minute there buddy
>>587516638Do you understand what "dollars" are? If you don't get this, I think you may struggle with the ratios in Factorio.
>>587516924I mean, it kinda does work like thatThe US has a $7 minimum wage and so does BrazilBut Factorio is 3x the price
>>587516159>Blue trucks>big ore sorter0% chance you'll need that in the next 100 years. A couple storage containers and some smart filters would have been plenty to sort your ore. Plus what's the point of sorting it all only to have the trucks hauling it to your smelters? >Output enters input of other sorter ???Those stone/dirt containers are going to fill too fast to keep up with once you get to bigger excavators and trucks. This whole thing feels absurdly inefficient. I'm assuming you're making some kinda catchall system for when a truck scoops up 1 unit of sulfur you dropped accidentally and has nowhere to put it.
>>587518349>anon makes world's first strand-type roboport network
>>587525967Dunno what the case is in other states but you'd really struggle to find anything that actually pays federal minimum where I amEven the most basic bitch jobs start at $10 these days and you could still easily do better
>>587533312It was a dumb statistic to pick, people on minimum wage rarely have the cash for a PC and just game on phones. Average or median would make more sense.
>>587533312anyway he's a broke ass nigga
>>587533562if we talking average salary then the relative cost would be much higher than 3x since its about 3k Reais in Brazil vs 6k dollars monthly in the USAThe median wage in Brazil is about the minimum wage
Bro you're brazilian just pirate it like everyone else in your cunt
>>587532914Every like I get results in one more robot added to the network
What does this mean?
>>587546915Either:>you installed a mod that fucked with recycling.lua in the quality mod in a way it broke quality>you broke quality by messing with the mod manually
>>587547826Only thing I can think of is booting the game with the old2.0 and new2.1 "quality for biters" mod at the same time though the newer couldn't have been enabled yet, from different authors.
>>587546915what version of the game are you running? in 2.1 the quality mod isn't supposed to have recycler logic, that got factored into a separate mod. conversely if it's before 2.0.77 then the defines.default_icon_size that the mod is trying to access won't exist yet, hence the error
>>587548345I think I was running 2.0.76 previously, pirated.
>>587549106well if you somehow got a version of the quality mod from after that version then that's what's broken
>>587546915some mod is adding recipe icons in data-updates instead of datarecycling expects all recipes to be valid in data-updatesIIRC nullius was doing that for the packaged crafting recipes
>>587516159Why do you even need two big ore sorters?What is even getting burned and ousted at the right side there?
>>587525967>>587533312As a fellow huebro who left the shithole, I apologize and advocate for him, even decent jobs you have fuck all purchasing power, specially for games and high end shit. For example a GFX card can cost as much as a car (an old one mind you), a barebones new car, can cost like several years of wageslaving. And so on.
>>587546915>>587547826>>587548345>>587549281>>587552794I think I installed 2.0.23 over 2.0.77 w/o deleting it first, not sure why don't ask. I did it over a week ago and tried booting today. Will do a fresh install of 2.0.24 shortly.
>>587516638capitalism moment!!!
>>587558663I think you could argue that disparities in purchasing power across countries is a sign that there isn't *enough* capitalism
>>587531919>>587516159>if any ore gets full the whole facility clogs upThis is the biggest redflag of trouble I can see before switching to fully mixed ore input. It means you have to throttle them at source, ie what you mine instead, which can be very tricky.
live
>>587579292can we automate it?
>>587556564that has nothing to do with thatthis is purely a mod scripting errorI guess maybe quality fixed it later
>>587562087You could control it using a train that reads your smelter areas storage containers to make sure it only goes for ore when there's space for it. It would be REALLY nice if we could get some kind of circuits/signaling to control mining towers and/or conveyor belts. When X storage > Y turn off. That alone would solve the overfill issue without needing trains involved.
>>587504852>Is Factorio worth paying 200 bucks [reals] for?It... depends, really. Did you play the demo? Liked it? Do you see yourself playing it for enough time to be worth 200 pila? Is it affordable given your budget? If yes I'd say go for it. But remember piracy is also an option.Obs: ninguém tem bola de cristal para adivinhar a moeda. 200 ienes seria quase de graça, 200 euros seria um roubo. 200 reais é salgado mas comprável. Entende?
>>587589591in slav euros, it was the best value videogame purchase I ever made. 2.2K hours. And 90% of that was without spaceage.
>>587516638I got spage on release for 100 bananacoins and got 400 hours on it, just on spage campaign (i am a bit slow). I'd say its worth. I don't remember how much I paid on vanilla, I got it long ago when it was cheper.
>>587582408death is preferrable, clanker
>>587590312>>587593114Factorio never goes on sales, so odds are you two paid 64€ and R$200, respectively, for vanilla+DLC. Like I said in >>587589591, it's expensive but affordable. It's just the Latin American behaviour regarding games and their prices can be... weird. Like, smoking R$300 worth of fags per month, but complaining a R$200 game would be too much.(For reference: R$10.00 = 1.62€)
>>587597223A bit less, base game was 25 or even 20 at some point.
Interesting, you can sort peek at the ratio recyclables give now, the pressed ones come from the city, while the rest from maintenance and research.
>>587601628And while on the topic, kinda surprised at how late game you end up needing so much copper, definitely my biggest draw right now.And after the update the recycling amount kinda dropped a bit, leaving quite a gap.
Also, what the fuck were they thinking with this ratio, upgrading the Microchip production completely throws it off.
>>587601976And ratio autism actually makes sense in COI, since you're paying crew and maintenance even for unused buildings.The COI Extended mod used to have an underclock/overclock mechanic where you could adjust machine speed a little, to hit clean ratios easier while you're still at small scale.
>>587586909I don't think so, what you described is basically how it was before, each ore has their container and specific stations.Mixed ore works as if it is its own thing (allowing any ratio of ore), so the storage before the sorter are mixed.The point is that if for example you mine a lot of iron to get the sorted backed up, you may not be able to get in mixed ore mixed with the other ores you need. Even though the sorter has quite a lot of capacity and can filter whats inside even if some of the outputs are full (as opposed to a simple filter).Also I just thought of this, but I don't think you can send ore from a filtered station to a mixed one.Pic unrelated just an excavator doing its thing.
>satisfactory>but in space>multiplayerIs this the ultimate /egg/?Downloading the demo right now.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2487190/Main_Sequence/
>>587605912spoiler, it's not
>>587605912I gave the demo a try for about an hourIt's satisfactory in space but watered all the way down which is impressive because satisfactory is already pretty watered down compared to other factory gamesMight be a good choice to introduce someone to factory games but after 500 hours of CoI I can tell it's just not gonna hitThough I do respect actually having a demo in current year
>>587607015It's been getting more common again, free demos. Only they tend to remove them immediately upon release.
>>587605912See you maybe in 10 years.
I'm thinking of playing pyanodons.Talk me out of it
>>587597223I think factorio had a cheaper base price at some point, especially before 1.0, during EA, but I don't care enough to check.I first pirated the game on 0.6 or something.
>>587612796Try nullius first.
>>587612796I won't because I am enjoying it. I will talk you out of hard mode if you were thinking of doing it though. I don't hate it but it's not terribly interesting either so far.
>>587612796play pyblock insteadfactorio is way too easy when you can just mine more resources
How is the performance on COI, on late game?My poor core i3 12100 or something can rum factorio just fine, but factorio runs on black magic, so it doesn't count.
>>587531919>Plus what's the point of sorting it all only to have the trucks hauling it to your smelters?I'm holding off from putting down anything big until i set up a proper rail network first so no raw dump storage, no mega foundries and no assembly tetrisAlso i'm trying out centralized mixed ore sorting to see how viable it would be it ain't working so well, sorters clog too easily unless you play musical chair with the mining towers>Those stone/dirt containers are going to fill too fast to keep up with once you get to bigger excavators and trucks. Surprisingly no, the mixed ore storages are mostly empty because of how fast the large sorters work whereas my previous sorter centipede didn't have the throughput>I'm assuming you're making some kinda catchall system for when a truck scoops up 1 unit of sulfur you dropped accidentally and has nowhere to put it.More or less, i play on a map made by a madman that thought overlapping 3 different ores was an interesting challenge>>587553329First sorter is to get rid of stone/dirt first and fast so it doesn't clog up the actual sorting processThat last sorter is because i accidentally dumped slag somewhere instead of dirt as well as my tendency to build too close to the mines leading to building collapssing into trash, it's a tacked-on quick fix
How do I set any quality arga science?
This will work, but I need add quality mag/sci too.
>>587627693Looks like you're just gonna have to crunch the signal down to generic packs in a combinator
bro out there using efficiency modules in his biolabs instead of speed
>>587628486Looks like both. I mean all speed does is that you need fewer labs, green means you can have many times more without excessive pollution.
>>587628783>excessive pollution.ptoo!all EFFICIENCY does is slow down your labs because you're adding more shared beacons which influence eachother by lowering the total value
>>587605912>>satisfactory>ultimate /egg/huh?
>>587630274paid shill 1 hour before release, pay him no mind
>>587628783speed reduces the amount of labs you need to consume the same amount of science, which reduces travel time on belt and time sitting in labboth of those increase your effective utilization of agri science
>>587627693selector combinator > quality transfer > normal to each
>>587622623>12that's not that>100ooof that's almost pentium tier (yes intel still sells those), sorry anonThe perf is fine, but I don't think anyone in thread has comparable hardware to reference
Eventually...
bro
>>587647310Okay...? Why should I care about what happens to a mod maker IRL?What are his updates for SpEx?Does he have an estimate for when the next update comes out?
>>587649225people are paying him MONTHLY subscription to do nothing
>>587649638People often forget their subscriptionsThere's a dude making porn games I know of, whose patreon is still netting him a couple grand a month despite the fact mf has been behind bars for over half a decade now
>>587647310Oh I thought it was john wubewho gives a fuck about earendel bro you're out and washed go home
>>587602754The more I look at it the less I see a point in sending mixed ore anywhere by train or otherwise to an ore sorter. In reality it makes more sense to pull the ore off the belt with a smart filter and let the dirt/rock continue towards the nearest dumping area. The only time I've ever maxed out the actual large ore sorter was super late game with dozens of mega excavators constantly filling it up. But now that we can just dump mixed ore into a container I don't even see the point of them unless you REALLY want to easily split the dirt out and don't want to set up a smart filter per line. It's a good change when it comes to saving pops/power/maintenance for sure.
>>587649638and?
>>587647310all me btw
>>587652540It does mostly obsolete the ore filters, but then those were only added artificially in the first place. When they banned trucks from doing the output filtering on their own.
>>587659148"filtered trucks" sucked big time, the output was terrible>>587652540Your comment is very mixed up, you pretty much answered yourself.But the point is instead of having several or sorters spread throughout the island (and designated train lines/networks for each) you can have one central catch system directly plugged to your furnaces.The way I see the main ore sorter should be much harder to get clogged up than the standard line filters, because they have pretty a big input buffer where the line filter, the smallest clogup will get it backed up.But it does have the potential to get clogged up, as anon said before, it will be like playing musical chair with your towers.Where as, currently if they get clogged is at the source ore sorter, trucks will just take a time out delivering their contents, while others may still be allowed to dump it to the sorter.
>>587605912This is just spengies again but with manual resource routing, and probably better physics
>>587475742Stormworks, The nuclear mechanics are pretty neat.>>587482489I hope you try it again, if you like vehicle builders at all then it will be worth your while. There's a lot of cool features and a lot to make.

>>587634417Thanks, seems to be working.
>>587680351I've never had a run where I had so much fucking oil I would be able to burn it. Most of the time I just smear solar panels across the countryside and I STILL have oil problems. If I was going to say "fuck solar panels" I'd just burn coal since the shit is basically fucking useless outside of burning it until you get coal liquefactionI almost have enough U-235 in this run to get a Kovarex going and meanwhile I'm slapping down a powerplant blueprint (that I made) but power is getting annoying even with all these panels. I already have all my chokepoints closed off with walls that cannot be breached so I probably should have just made a bunch of coal-fed boilers in the meantime, but oh well
>>587681956>Basic Coal>Basic StoneNigga use icons in the names, it'll save you a world of ass pain when you can quickly tell what station does what at a glance.That includes pickup and dropoff parts, too. There are "loading" and "unloading" icons for that.And, personally, I also use the "fuel" icon for the depot.I'd add a fuel drop-off station to it, to refuel the locomotives waiting there.Using burner inserters removes the need for grid connection, allowing you to place your depot anywhere, even where you've no grid connection.
i don't wanna go to work tomorrow i wanna stay home and play factorio
tomorrow is saturday doe?
>>587682569Basic is a delineation I use for stops that aren't on a generic train network. Pickups on the generic network use the icons because it lets me use parameterized blueprints to automatically name train stations. These stations are basic because they service specific trains I set up when my starter patches died. I'm actually about to delete all the basic dropoffs and rename the old basic pickups as soon as I build a new mall entirely serviced by trains and I start deleting the starter base
>>587683780I haven't went to sleep yet so it's still thursday
>>587683780Not if you're a westie. If you're a westie, yesterday is today and today is tomorrow.
did you know, Earendel is the name of the farthest star in the observable universe
Sounds like a pretty good star to hate with all my being.
>>587684718Fair enough. I try to use the generic format as much as possible, though.Means I don't have to do the format switching when connecting such parts to the main network.I've a blueprint book with non-aligned stations for that exact reason.Along with bits and pieces, like turns and various linear junctions.>mall entirely serviced by trainsMaybe I should build a "supply station" with stuff too.I'm kinda bummed you can't use circuits to rename stations dynamically.
>>587612796Py actually reminds me of the DSP lategame, from about 35 hours in once you get caravans. That fact that you can ship anything anywhere without really having to think, completely changes how you build your base. It's still point-to-point only, and obviously has many times more items and recipes, but that's the general theme. Like with an ILS you can start with an empty plot of land anywhere, import all the ingredients and export the product.That is what ends up lowering my interest over time. I've started three runs and reached construction bots before realizing it'll just be more of the same for like a thousand hours.

>>587718604bro playing cookie clicker xD
>>587718604It is closest but I would prefer they not be posted here.
>>587718604There used to be one but it was just too slow to live. Barely any of them are /egg/ enough to be posted here anyway since they're so simplistic
>>587718604jumping in a ditch is the closest to it
>>587718604play a real autism game instead of the fidget spinners of vidya
Well, my main BP book is gone and some BP in the inventory are disappeared. Its so over.
>nullius>reach physics science>decide to go for the boxing meme, fuck it ill fall for it>setting up boxed missile>already like 100 buildings doing different shit and its not even balanced yet for i/o>theres 7 more ingredientsif i wont end up completely burnt out by the time i finish it, i dont know what will
>>587727914going for boxing killed my last long run too, in 1.x still. refactoring so much shit takes a load of time
>still no 3D airport builder game>stuck with kinda ugly unfinished 2D games or abandonwareI can't be the only one that thinks this type of thing is ripe for being an /egg/ adjacent game. Are planes just too autistic for the factory builder audience? This being the closet thing to finished for this type of thing is grim. The version I'm playing is being held up by slop mods trying to fix the broken shit.
main bus, city block, or full on spaghetti everywhere? i need to build big, my science cost multiplier is 100,000 :^)
guys i remember long time ago building planes and fucking around with wire mod in gmod is there a new game to build stuff like gmod
>>587731245city blocksyou're going to be measuring everything based on full belts so just make blocks that are dedicated to producing a full belt of whatever and spam them everywhere
>>587731245why would you torture yourself like that, there are only so many furnace stacks you can build by hand in your lifetime
>>587718604Random assorted games belong on /indie/. It's like a safe haven for games that don't have a home you can discuss anything they won't judge
>>587730781@clod do the thing
>>587730781Workers & Resources lets you place the hangars, runway, taxiway, terminal, fuel pumps, electrics, and so on.If the interior is your thing, try STATIONflow by the same devs as Underwater Ray Romano.
>>587736885setting up furnaces isn't really that bad. figuring out where each stack of furnaces or assembly machines is. once i get trains it should be easier.
>>587746829Never even gotten far enough in W&R to make a profitable industry, let alone get into building airports.Everything I make in that always feels incredibly fragile too with how your entire system can fail from a single misplaced water pipe, and you never find out until the damage is unrecoverable.Feels like something I should really REALLY like but every time I try to play it these days I can't even bear to get started. It takes several real days of planning to even get going and then you're left hoping what you made will even work.
>>587750830Not that dude but I'm playing it for the first time right now and had the same issue. Know how I solved it? Turning off realistic mode when I had to move some pipe or sidewalk 12 inches to the right to get it to connect properly. Just insta buy that shit and move on. I find this far more fun than watching my city die because I removed a crucial piece of asphalt and now nobody can get to the grocery store because walking on the grass is unthinkable. The game is fiddly and explains pretty much nothing but it is really neat when things start to work together. Right now I'm building a metro because it sounded cool. Is it worth it? No clue but I wanted to spend 2 million on tunnel borers and watch them drill.
Why did you make fish spoil
>>587761930Fish are alive
>>587761930Because it's fun. More things should spoil. I saw one mod that made it so plates needed to "spoil" to be cool enough to actually use in machines which is a neat concept.
>>587762061that same mod literally broke the game in half because plates spoiled into ore again and other bullshit.
>>587754457>now nobody can get to the grocery store because walking on the grass is unthinkable.dirt paths and roads are free and instant
>>587762691I feel like we may be talking about different mods, but randomized spoilage is pretty funny too.
>>587763480No, I'm thinking of the mod that some dude made that made everything spoil into its previous iterationso plates spoil into ore
>>587763724Oh, that's.... dumb? These didn't spoil anymore once they became regular plates.
>>587764191it was a very dumb mod, yes.
>>587762754They are but there's a really fucked up mechanic where if you plan to upgrade a path you can't cancel the upgrade without completely removing the path. Even if you're paused and no construction has even started you still can't undo the upgrade to the path until you demolish it or finish the upgrade. I WISH the path being upgraded still functioned as a dirt path but nope. And if you relied on that range bonus a dirt path won't be enough to reconnect something a bit further away.
Well it appears Polybutadine is being my bane currently. Sure thought I was making enough oil process overall to not have to worry but seems it is time to make some dedicated aromatics... which seems like a pain and likely why I was hoping I had made enough already...
>>587770504how much rubber are you making and how is your limiting resource not latex
>get stuck 20 minutes trying to fix an issue >double check everything several times wondering why it doesn't work>finally realize it's not working because I didn't turn it on
>>587774256>how much rubber are you making Pretty obviously not enough. Both dropoffs are dry all the time which is causing items down the chain to also be dry.>how is your limiting resource not latexI overbuilt the FUCK out of Varruks.
>>587730781>ripe for being /egg/ adjacentwhy honestly? I feel like I know Airport in depth enough and I don't see enough stuff for it being a a stimulating management, let alone /egg/ related autism gameI could see the case for a autistic mechanic/simulator or even builder, specific for airplanes, like for example a mudrunner/derail valley, but with planes.
>>587776073>KSP type game that focuses on realistic planes>Physicians getting filtered by passenger aircraft because they don't take pressurisation into account so their designs keep bursting at high altitude """for no reason"""
>>587776561That too, but I was thinking something like My Summer Car, but with a bush plane in somewhere like Alaska maybe.
>>587776073>designing infrastructure>designing massive buildings>designing freight handling systems>designing passenger handling systems>managing the enormous fleet of support vehiclesI could go onIf you have ever seen the conveyer belt nighmares that exist in freight terminals, I feel like this wouldn't be hard to graspThere's so many interlocking systems that exist here that I couldn't list them allMaybe one day I'll see a 3D airport builder game where you can get up to the scale shown here but I doubt such a thing would ever be finished if it did.
>>587680351if you want to boilermaxx it's best to set up entire coal patches dedicated solely to powergen, oil power is a meme without mods that let you directly burn liquid fuels
>>587778041Ok granted, they do have some nightmarish conveyor spaghetti, but I feel like it would be more of a tycoon type game than anything else, and still I feel like there are already some game like that.
>>587779109I can't even think of any decent tycoon style games that have come out any time recentlyFeel like that genre is more dead than modern city builders
>>587779616Well they did have a remake of that crazy hospital one recently, the Jurassic Park and a few other park ones at least, plus that retro parking one too.
