So yeah, stuff is all kicking off! Woo! Yeah!

 

Ok Here’s that game review, as promised. If you’re not into this stuff, fine with me.

The game I’m going to talk about is Factorio. Basically, you’re an astronaut who crashes on a resource – rich alien world. Basically your goal is to put up a satellite in order to get rescued – but in order to do that, you need a rocket ship. Sounds simple? Well here’s the tech tree in order to build said rocket: 

You see what I mean. In order to unlock new technologies (the little squares above), you need “science packs”, which require resources. In order to get resources you need drills to collect it, and assemblers to convert the raw resourses (iron, steel, copper) into stuff, into more assemblers and smelters and drills. And then the science packs take a drill each to make, and the tech needs 800 packs to research it. Cut to you wasting 40 hours, and ending up with a factory like this:

If you want a better explanation, here’s one:

See you guys next week.

 

P.S. Here’s a little teaser for something I’m working on!
