20 hours was probably the time I was finished with the basic train network and set up my first “big” steel smeltery (just a small one that was capable of smelting one train at a time, didnt want to build to much of them without bots). I’m currently at 30h and I can now finish all of the nauvis sciences, getting bots and setting up nuclear. This is also my second run I ever did(didnt finish the last one due to space age) so I am much slower. I also fucked up my starter base so badly, that it wasn’t anywhere near being capable of getting me through any research higher than green without turning into a gigantic spaghetti.

80? I thought that my 46 hours were insane, but 80 is insane.

And also important is, that space exploration is insanely big. You can prepare to spend about 300h with it(of course depending on how much experience you have).

Factorio is great. I don’t think Theres another game that sucked up so many hours so quick. I absolutely love it. It takes a shit load of time(my first world took 40 hours and didnt complete the game). I’m now starting a new world because of space age, and already have a lot of plans on how to improve my world to male it better(starting with currently building a blueprint for a mall and rushing to robots in order to not being forced to build everything by hand). Also, disabling biters is a very good thing to do. I don’t want to focus on fighting biters. I just want to see the factory grow.

This is 100% true

For Factorio, yes. The expansion costs about the same as the normal game, but it adds insane amounts of content for the game. You can travel to other worlds, build entirely new factories and we even get nuclear fusion. Factorio space age is AFAIK absolutely worth the price.

It’s not like most people have a choice and can say they aren’t going to drive to work this week because gas needs to drop a few more cents before they go fill up.

That’s true, however if your tank is half full and you see a damn low price most people will absolutely go and fill it up before it goes up again.

Even if you drive a small car being forced to pay about 15% of your total income just to get to work is still fucking expensive. And no, public transport or bike isnt a suitable option for everyone.

Damn, that’s quite fucked up. Also they fear to remove the explosives because they fear that even the slightest movement could detonate everything.

Yeah, but we have seen a lot of examples where it was clearly a lack of time. An example would be the Gollum game. It had some very good concepts(making decisions between both of his personalities), but it didnt had any impact. This seems like something where if they had more time they could have formed this into a very good game mechanic.

I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what Eddie Hall(former world strongest man) did. At least he drove over someone else’s car before.

Its about tankies banning non tankies.

Birb 👍

But this game is tied to fitness and also has competitive elements to it. Imagine you can buy yourself faster progress here, when it’s all tied to physical activity. It would completely ruin the game and any competitive aspects in it

Okay, you got a point there. Can’t argue against this.

Again, this wasn’t meant to target you, but in fact a lot of the other vegans I find online.

I really like the thoughts put into the game. However, I personally think, that micro transactions aren’t necessarily a bad thing, if you do them right. As an example for this I would call Helldiver’s. You can pay to get faster progress, but it isn’t necessary by any means. You can unlock everything with a reasonable amount of grinding.

I don’t have a problem with vegans myself. The ones I know in real life are all good persons which are capable of having a conversation that doesn’t escalate in 3 minutes. However, it happens to be that most vegans I encountered online seem to be absolute assholes, that have some sort of an all or nothing attitude. They aren’t interested in changing someone’s beliefs and habits. They want to have the moral highground and mock about everyone else. Of course industriall farming is bad, but you don’t change anyone’s beliefs by being an asshole and insulting others. And you aren’t able to change someone’s habits against their will.

I wasn’t calling you an absolute asshole. This was never my I tention. This was more of a general statement.statement.goes for the second part, because some vegans do be like that.

But its possible to do that without being an absolute asshole that goes for all or nothing. You eat meat once a month? Literally the same as Liver King. Its this sort of Attitude that pisses people of.

Titanfall. Titanfall 2 is a banger Video game. I word really like to see it being continued.
