What a wild idea, but it makes sense! I haven't taken the time to get it working. I've heard a lot about Factorio, but I stayed away from it so far.

Well don't if you value sleep and free time. Whilst slightly in jest, sincerely, it is incredibly addictive.

Factorio is a great game that's easy to compartmentalize and allocate small, discrete periods of time to, especially if you're an engineer of any kind.

Sure, in the same way you can easily limit yourself to one cigarette a day.

Crack is the best thing you ever can try, my friend, trust me! It’s not addictive at all.

Amazing work, and a fantastic idea, congratulations to the author.
I am definitely trying this next week-end!

Can it run Doom?

Maybe if you can get it to zoom out far enough and wire up an array of lights on the surface of Nauvis…

I tried on my 1366x768 display fully zoomed out and it doesn't cover enough space for DOOM's 320x200 display if each pixel is one tile. But maybe you could get the display working on the map? Not sure if that's even possible, are there any Factorio tiles that can change their map color on demand? Or just download some kind of utlra-zoom mod, that works too.

I wonder with the new Timberborn 1.0 update with automation if there’s enough to build a computer from water gates…
Happens to the best of us!
Thanks for showing it here!
