> It’s a simulation game called Factorio, in which you are given resources that you have to explore, build factories that process them, create more and more complex systems, until you are finally able to launch a spaceship that may take you away from an inhospitable planet. If this is not engineering at its purest then I don’t know what is. I think that good engineers should focus first on how to prosper on the current planet which was favorable enough to sustain their live until now, rather than carelessly exploit its resources with a delusive goal of finding a more hospitable place somewhere else.
