I just started playing Factorio, and I can already tell this is going to murder hundreds of hours of my life. Like, I got sort of deep into automation in Minecraft mod packs before and this game looks like trouble for me.

 I can't feel my eyes. I really should get some sleep so I can work on exploiting that oil field out east, my initial 4 wells are running dry or something, plastic production has fallen off a cliff OH MY GOD HOW IT 5AM

 My spaghetti is reaching its limit I think. My common research pack conveyor loop keeps locking up since my ratios for different colors are all over the place. Might have to relocate the research domes and create dedicated conveyor paths / sides for each color. There's no way I can cram 6 different color paths as it stands.  Petroleum has a little too much "get the ratios right or we'll shut down everything" foreplaning necessary to work, so I said gently caress it and followed a guide for proper bus. Trains are also really cool, wish I had incorporated them earlier than my initial really-long-conveyors approach for my first expansions to resource fields.

 ...I already want to start a new game and properly plan out my base from the beginning next time. My favorite part of the progression was early around the time trains get unlocked. I liked figuring out how to solve the messes I cornered myself into, like trying to find pathways to my research domes despite knowing pretty early on I should have just torn the whole drat thing down and rebuilt it from scratch. Towards the end, my plastic production came to a near standstill and I was producing maybe 20% of what I was at my peak. Figured out many, many hours later the water supply to my crackers got destroyed. That crippled my red circuit production for many hours and probably added 3 hours to the end game.     Fun game.

coke posted:Did someone say spaghettis? I would absolutely run away in horror and go set up shop in the wilderness somewhere far away, sending nice straight lines of resources back to that... Rorschach test of a factory. My first base looked relatively nice, but had about about a dozen, "Don't touch that one pipe, it's a load bearing pipe" hacks to get it to work. I can't imagine trying to troubleshoot later game issues that would arise from that thing.

It's funny, I've got an itch to play Factorio for the first time in about half a year and I know in my soul this will devour another hundred hours of my life.
