      It’s absurdly addictive, it’s hard to explain to your family why you’re having fun making spreadsheets for the game

      Also a dirty engineer, and proud.

      In my MP games, I get things done. You want things to look pretty, do it yourself.

      I’d like to think I’m an engineer, but if we’re being honest, I’m much closer to chef.

      I’m flattered!

      The tower was not very complicated to build, the harder part was fitting all the machines in the limited room on each floor, and keeping track of materials between layers, as you can see:

      That isn’t a drone port, i don’t have drones (or fuel for the jetpack 😬) unlocked. It’s actually the hub.

    Wow, it’s like we’re not even playing the same game. All my stuff is out in the open with tall stacks of conveyor belts everywhere.

    I weep for the hours you’ve invested in this without even getting paid.

    I weep more for the hours I’m going to invest trying to replicate this out of sheer jealousy.

        each floor is unique in the interest of compactness, so it wouldnt help THAT much. (i didnt use blueprints)

    And here I am just making my motors by hand like a chump. You know, maybe it’s time I get off my ass and build something cool like this. Iron and coal processing and smelting on the first level, ingot splitting to wire on the second, pipe making on the third, have a vertical line that’ll start pumping out rotors from processing, then a bank of assemblers at the top floor to churn out motors and to line them back down.
