stormdogIt seems that even among the programming geeks I know who like Factorio, I'm an aberration in that I see Factorio as a nice place to start, but it ought to be *way* more complicated. I've gotten back, off and on, to another Factorio game with all the production process mods I was using before. The name of my old saved game was "A Special Kind of Hell," after a forum commentor who described his experience of using all the mods I have installed My current one is called "What is That Thing For?" since I'm continually having to consult references to figure out what all these weird byproducts I end up with do and/or how to dispose of them.
I do wish I had someone to play with, but I'm so nervous about just asking random people I don't know on forums and then having to commit to specific times and maybe end up slowing each other down...
It's a big sandbox to play by myself in, and it would be more fun with a person or two I know to play with, but I'm having fun regardless.
That said, my mental state is better enough that maybe I'll want to get back to real-world geekery and start working on my electronics again. I have a frequency counter kit to solder together.
