  1. Buy Factorio
  2. Start playing Factorio
  3. ???
  4. THE FACTORY MUST GROW
[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I love factorio. I've owned it before they even had building rockets in the game. Played the shit out of it.

I dont know if its cause the game got more expansive and complicated, or if I just got old and stupid.. but I just cant play it anymore. I can get a base started.. but after an hour or 3 I just start struggling and give up.

I miss factorio.

Bro don't exaggerate, Factorio came out in early access in 2016. That's only... 10... Years ago... ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

According to my experience, the left one does not amount to much.

[-] Gonzako@lemmy.world 32 points 3 days ago

Yeah, books can't teach you nepotism

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago

No chapter about Late Sumerian?

[-] BodilessGaze@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

They yanked the chapter about selling copper because it got bad reviews

[-] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

Instruction unclear. Did the chapter get bad reviews or the copper?

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

The bronze age copper industry was very unforgiving. You deliver reduced purity copper ingots once and suddenly there's tablets all over the place telling everyone about it. Not that it affected sales; demand for copper was always high. But every single customer makes a comment about the purity.

I curse them all to be wiped out by mysterious alien invaders from across the sea!

between that and an actual engineering school book, you'd have access to all the knowledge in the known universe

[-] JennaR8r@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah seriously that book he's holding in his hand seems quite small for all the information it claims to contain.

[-] WandowsVista@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Chapter 1: The Social Sciences

[-] jeffep@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

I so wish this is a book about Humanities

[-] Rivermoonwolf@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Turn it off and turn it back on?

[-] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 72 points 4 days ago

Except what they teach you in engineering school, apparently.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 30 points 4 days ago

i stayed awake for at least 20% of lecture time, so there is that

[-] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

I hear the chapter called "your girlfriend is studying abroad with stinky Frenchmen, and other pick-me scenarios to ruin your 20s" is particularly riveting.

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 48 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

All that math you learned? Forget it. You're in spreadsheet land now.

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 32 points 4 days ago

That being said, it's important to know how to sanity-check the math, especially in the era of Copilot in Excel. We just found that our company's configuration enables it by default on new workbooks, as we found when it was just...making up numbers when asked to do simple addition.

"Well, it's like my ol' papy copilot always used to say.... 2 + 2 = null."

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 2 points 2 days ago

I had a programmer giving up on a task today and had to resort to VBA in Excel.

Excel is a shit program and Visual Basic is a shit language, but if you combine them, you can do things that are impossible in any other way.

Someone once said that you can make Excel do anything except coffee. I disagree. It can probably make coffee too.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Did you like those fancy tools they gave you in school? You can cling to your memories of them as you attempt to recreate their functionality in excel without your boss noticing that you're wasting time on this

[-] MrMeowMeow@mander.xyz 17 points 4 days ago

It might be nothing but gardening tips

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 14 points 4 days ago

It's probably a concise history of Italian opera.

[-] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 days ago

It's the basics of the Klingon language, including pronunciation, syntax, and vocabulary.

[-] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

nah, it's usually bomb recipes.

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Guess I'm a whole day late on a simalar joke...

[-] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

In before the book is all about cooking tips and tricks

[-] hypeerror@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

How to interact with other humans.

[-] StarvingMartist@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago

Godspeed, I recently dropped out of engineering to go back into art, shits hard, you're smart

[-] PagPag@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago
[-] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

You know what they call an engineer who finished last in their class?

[-] m4xie@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago

Not engineer. It takes a few more years in industry and some more exams to get your P. Eng.

We often go into adjacent fields.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 3 points 3 days ago

Patent examiner

[-] Bakkoda@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

The answer is an engineer.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

An asshole who was notably dead weight in every project?

[-] prole 5 points 4 days ago

A public servant? Lol jk

[-] Spur4383@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago
[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

That picture does not show the really important information. Is it a brochure, or is it a foot-thick book?
