You can play it forever, if you want, but it does have a win condition
I will usually spend another 10-40 hours post-game optimizing designs and efficiency.
Currently playing this mod for the second time! https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Factorissimo2-Playthrough
In Denmark, my list would, be in order of most essential,
- Potable Water (this can be had for free all year round if you know where to look)
- Food (also free if you know where to look, but unreliable especially during winter)
- Shelter (top priority in winter because you'll freeze to death otherwise)
- Yellow healthcard (because all government services consider it valid ID)
- WiFi capable smartphone (because you can't interact with a lot of government services without one, I tried...)
- An address (even if you don't live there, because some government services don't consider you a person without one)
It should also be noted that unless you get a very special exception (non-digital citizen), you will need regular internet access from a device with a modern up-to-date browser to connect to government and municipal services. If you don't, you'll need the non-digital citizen exception and require an address with a mailbox that you can access instead.
Municipalities generally also offer homeless shelters, but last time I was at one, about a decade ago, they were definitely not nice places. I'd rather sleep on a bench most of the year.
It will immediately be used to mine bitcoins.
I know they're not literally throwing it out, if that's what you thought I meant. I know they're selling it to someone else, but how often does this result in a good outcome? I'm predicting this is the start of the end of bandcamp. It wasn't even good to begin with, but it was the only unified place to buy music.
Bought bandcamp just to shelf it? Thanks.
A person was flirting with me and I meant to say "Go on." but I typed "Goon." and ruined it
I'm impressed they got it wrong for both platforms

This is an ad btw
Okay now make a real game in Source 2
you don’t really have to break any instance/community rules to have your comments removed by the admin.
Based on that I assume you didn't actually read beehaws rules so I'll take your post with industrial-sized bucket of road-salt
No one says you have to stop driving your car while the city is undergoing restructuring. I am saying that allowing politicians to call electric cars a win will only entrench car culture even more. You have a strange "one or the other" mentality about this.
We have had every piece of technology required to solve climate chance and make cities human-centric for decades. More technology won't change anything. A fundamental restructuring of our economic model would. Electric cars do not help us toward that goal. Electric cars allow politicians to virtue signal about how green they are, while signing free trade deals that undermine the progress being made behind your back.
couldn’t walk or bike to where they work or get groceries, much less everything else.
An electric car will kick this proverbial can down the road and make the bandaid even more painful to peel off because while you think you're doing your part for the world there are 500 politicians who are using that time you've given them to eradicate progress toward a better city design.
This is unfortunately the kind of problem where you have to suffer to solve it. If you can't or won't do that, that's fine. I'm not gonna tell you how to live your life, I'm just telling you how this has historically played out over the last 3 decades. Capitalist innovation will not solve that capitalism is exploitative and wasteful.
Are you telling me that I, who have never owned a car in my life, are unable to leave my house? Just because you got used to your car doesn't mean it's the only method of transportation. If it is the only method of transportation where you live, then, and I am sorry this is the case, but you could advocate for something better instead of giving up and accepting status quo.
I am advocating specifically for the removal of policy that hinder the progress of alternative transportation. Electric cars would be fine if it was not for the fact that they are part of the policies that postpone or, in most cases, shut down alternative transportation. The inevitably city-redesign can is kicked down the road, becoming increasingly expensive as the years tack on. The best time to do something about this was 30 years ago.
Electric cars will not save the planet. Electric cars will save the car industry.
I think we should encourage them as a transitional solution till we have trains and walkable or bikeable cities.
This is my problem. I don't think we'll ever reach that point when we accept half-solutions. It wouldn't take more than a single decade to uproot our city design if we had any ambition left, but alas.
Our disagreement is that I think the societal cost of cars is more than you think, not that I think electric cars are a bad transitional step. But I also think that we live under an economic model that will kick, fight and scream the whole time we try to uproot such a massive portion of it, being the oil industry. It's possible we just can't fix it at this point except by radical change. I don't have ultimate solutions, I'm just wary of electric cars because lithium mining is just as bad as oil drilling from a different direction and electric cars will kill just as many kids in the street as combustion cars.
By all means make electric vehicles- just please not cars.
Designing a city to be hostile to cars takes more vehicles off the road than trying to push people into electrics. Less cars (of any type) in the city means less health hazards means billions saved means billions to use on climate change research. Please don't forget that tires are the major polluting factor right now, not exhaust gasses. I strongly believe this is more effective than trying to slowly push people into electrics which will still pollute the air with microplastics and make a ton of noise when they race through the city. Lithium is also not particularly clean to mine, so I'd prefer it was used to make batteries for bikes and other similarly sized vehicles. The world does not have the mining and processing capacity to support converting everyone to an electric car.
It's not good enough. Cars are a bigger problem than their immediately obvious issues like pollution.
Oh thank God, I was worried it was my repulsive personality
It never supported it, afaik. They were talking about implementing it, but the creator of webp used his sway to shut it down. Firefox followed suit stating the same dumbass reason: "Not enough industry interest". There was plenty of industry interest, it was just Google didn't want a competitor to WebP. Safari announced they would implement JXL support and now we're here. I hope Google and Mozilla get the message.
the only all-FOSS browser engine that's independent of commercial vendors.
I'm literally not gonna read the rest of this, whoever wrote it doesn't have any stake in this or they'd know how dumb that statement is.
