Does anyone else also feel like we're in a factorio game and someone realized we're not producing enough green chips after all?

I know, I know! But I didn't make the bus wide enough for all the iron plates and copper plates I'd need to increase green circuit capacity. I could upgrade to blue transport belts, but that will take forever!!! How could past me have ever been foolish enough to believe I'd never need more than 20 lanes on the main bus? I was so stupid stupid stupid! Woah. Sorry. I blacked out for a minute there. What were we talking about?

If only the real world worked in Factorio timescales.

  I'd like to carry thousands of chip factories in my pocket and create gigafactories using robots in a matter of days (in-game days).

I hope that doesn't mean that I have to build a rail line to a new copper sector to the north-east...

  No, but you might have to "liberate" some oil fields in the mid-east...

Speaking of, this is a blog post that I really liked on factorio from a functional programming perspective. https://bartoszmilewski.com/2021/02/16/functorio/ https://bartoszmilewski.com/2021/02/16/functorio/

And the GPU shortage is because all our red circuit production is going to the miners.

We put all our green chips in a mega-factory or two, and used trains to move them to the major places that needed them. Unfortunately it's a multiplayer server, and someone started rerouting the trains because they wanted to build more cars.

I think it's more the case of getting to 7nm Blue Chips and realizing how much more costly they are in terms of prerequisite requirements.

Or M.U.L.E. for us old timers.

  Lots of people still need to learn that the primary objective is for the colony to be successful and even if you personally get a high score you lose the game if the colony fails. Also, Wumpus hunting is underrated.
