  • Satisfactory: Skytrain On Purpose

    Normally I try to stay close to the ground when placing rail lines. My blueprint-based system already has some “that’s not how physics or engineering work” flavor to it and I don’t like exacerbating that element by running the track hundreds of meters above ground level.

    What you can’t see through the purple haze is the bottomless pit I skirted the edges of.

    But sometimes, needs must.

  • Satisfactory: Trigon, Take Me Away

    I’m choosing to look at the upsides, here.

    Satisfactory video game screenshot: The objectives status display showing that 738 out of the required 1000 Nuclear Pasta are already loaded into the Space Elevator, and the Peak Efficiency milestone materials only need ~1500 more Alclad Aluminum Sheets and ~6600 more Iron Plates.

    As of midday today I make the parts required to place the fastest belts the game has to offer. (Once I can unlock them… 10,000 iron plates? Really, game?) For bonus points I would also like to note that I’m nearly finished making all of the Nuclear Pasta I’ll ever need in the entire game, at which point I’ll be able to repurpose that entire massive copper ingot setup from a couple weeks ago.

    I’ll unlock those Mk6 belts eventually.

  • See The Dinosaurs In Your Chevrolet

    Someone on one or another of the social media feeds I half-heartedly track nowadays mentioned having the iconic Jurassic Park theme in their head for whatever reason, and suddenly in my head I heard Dinah Shore singing.

    Look, I’m just sayin’. Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it.

  • Satisfactory: Build It Again, SAM

    This is… not how I expected to spend my Sunday morning.

    Please allow me to explain.
