Note that the raw percentages don't add up because each increase is a percentage of the remaining progress to 100% evolution so 25%*4 isn't 100%, it's 68%( 1-(1-25%)^4 = 0.683,593,75, I did the maths when calculating what compares to what above so you've got comparable numbers.

God save the game.

[@melopiccity]

Realm of the mad god has taken quite a strange turn.

[@KaosFireMaker]

When your playerbase resembles a biter swarm in its own right, you know things are going well

[@didiwin78]

i would absolutely watch a whole series of this

[@elkkukissa7883]

Didnt watch spiffing as much, saw he streamed factorio and i came. It was a disaster on the first tries. Teddy was the villain Teddy was the culprit. Teddy was behind it all. Hail Teddy14

[@pedrolmlkzk]

Hail

[@LordWhirlin]

I love that Klonan was involved in this (one of the devs) And the Tea in the Flora... Love that they were so in on that.

[@tadferd4340]

It's fine! We have reserves! The central production should have started mass producing weaponry and made a weapon depot.

[@Silvertarian]

This game could be so much more than it is and deserves so much more attention.

[@djgardawubz1278]

why is Brit such a good tactical commander. its astonishing Coffee

[@5Andysalive]

Because of editing, really.

[@-yttrium-1187]

Just how amazing are those devs that 500 people can join a single server

[@Kokuyous3ki]

This just shows that a Factorio MMO would actually work? :)

[@Aereto]

500 player server? You are absolute madlad. It is like 499 walking factories with all the hassle.

[@bradcharles8254]

Factorio is one of my favourite games, this is great Spiff so crazy

[@darksinthe]

most impressive thing to me is how well the game handles this; no crashing, no visible lag, like.... whaaaat? this programming deserves a fucking medal

[@allanjeffries6937]

of course the heavily under-equipped infantry is known as 'The Red Army'

[@michaelbourque5060]

This is even better if you replace Brit "red coats" with Star Trek "red shirts", ngl

[@SneedRemembrancer]

gotta give this game massive props for being able to handle this

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

The bad news is, the Zap Brannigan maneuver only seems to partially successful due to a lack of discipline in your troop. The good news is you still won.

[@PSkullKidDnazen]

Idea for a factorio (possibly mp friendly) challenge: get some weapon and op biter mods and make a heavily armed stronghold before cranking biters to maximum level and enraging them, goal is to survive the endless biter swarm without expanding your base or destroying biter nests for at least an hour or until you launch your first rocket (orbital cannon mod recomended for extra post challenge fun)

[@jaspercadwallader7459]

I love that i downloaded the game just to join that stream

[@vladdietheladdie7345]

Was it free?

@@vladdietheladdie7345 20 eur or 20 dollar

[@vladdietheladdie7345]

[@MegaCakeFan]

@@vladdietheladdie7345 worth it if like logistical games

[@vladdietheladdie7345]

I like Total War Games, Cities Skylines, Starcraft and Prison Architect. Would Factorio be good for me?

"Don't worry it's taxation, I 100% didn't just steal all of that" I mean it's not too far away from our taxes, but you know

[@austinblackburn8095]

According to many americans you have the perfect tax system with the perfect amount of goverment control so count yourself lucky.

[@GamerSapss]

@@austinblackburn8095 my comment just mostly refered to how our taxes are extremely high comparatively to most countries, I personally actually do like how we are handling most of it here and then there are the toll stations

[@punktum87]

@@GamerSapss It's like "you can t tax me 30% np, but fuck you for making be having to pay to drive on this road!!!" :P
