Started playing Factorio thinking "cute little factory game" now I'm calculating the bandwidth bottleneck of my local McDonalds drivethrough.

My girlfriend dumped me for prioritizing belt throughput over our relationship. Tried explaining that automated inputs are more reliable than manual insertion, but she said that's not how intimacy works.
She left me but the joke's on her - that's one less resource drain on my mental CPU and I can finally focus on nuclear power optimization!

Factorio really makes your brain overheat sometimes, but the process of working through the issues of your factory always ends up with a dopamine hit... then you run into new issues and the cycle starts again.

Factorio is listed as a survival game because it teaches you various survival skills, like how to survive on 2 hours of sleep and barely any food in an environment not quite suitable for humans anymore. I don't need a circadian rhythm, I have circuit networks.
Since I started playing Factorio I noticed an increase in my problem solving skills in real life.
To optimize bathroom breaks I implemented a buffer system called "empty bottles"

Even though I hesitated buying it (I refunded it twice), Factorio is the most fun experience I've had playing a sandbox game since long ago, and it actually brought my fascination with engineering activities to the surface.
It also ruined my life in the best possible way.
Sure, I'm probably on several government watchlists for my concerning Google searches about optimizing nuclear missiles production - but my factory... my factory is beautiful.
And it must grow.
