Factorio is extremely mod friendly

If it doesn't exist you can probably wedge it in fairly easily.

I suggest that it would be worth your time to give it a poke just to see what a thoroughly excellent example of software engineering they've made there.

Oh I know, but normal Factorio is Programmer Crack, and going meta like that would be like Scarfacing Programmer Fentanyl for me!

First I'd use it to implement an email reader, and then ... more Factorio mods!

Then Terraform integration.

Would you accidentally a scheme? Would you could you in a train? Would you could you with a plane?

If you go that route, let me know when your emacs implementation is complete. I'll replace my OS with Factorio.

steam tells me my play time is 2,779.2 hr

i got bored / sane after the first 10k SPM base, ~1,200hr. then i got into making "me" mods.

I'm at 6,251.5 but I leave it running all night long.

I used to play Factorio.

I still do, but I used to, too.
