Théophile Ferré was a leader of the Paris Commune who was executed by the French government on this day in 1871. Ferré personally authorized the execution of the archbishop of Paris and was the first of 25 Communards to be executed.

Little is known about Ferré's early life, before his participation in the Paris Commune. After Paris was seized by revolutionaries in March 1871, Ferré served on the Commune's Committee of Public Safety, a body given extensive powers to hunt down enemies of the Commune.

On April 5th, the Commune passed a decree that authorized the arrest of any person thought to be loyal to the French government in Versailles, to be held as hostages. Prominent figures arrested included a Catholic priest Georges Darboy and the archbishop of Paris. The Commune hoped to exchange their hostages for Louis-Auguste Blanqui, a revolutionary and honorary President of the Commune, imprisoned by the state.

Following the events of the "Bloody Week", in which the French government summarily executed many suspected Communards, Ferré authorized the execution of several hostages, including Darboy and the archbishop.

After the resistance of the Commune collapsed, Ferré was captured by the army, tried by a military court, and sentenced to death. On November 28th, 1871, he was shot at Satory, an army camp southwest of Versailles. He was the first of twenty-five Communards to be executed for their role in the Paris Commune.

I am finally playing Satisfactory. I have a couple of questions:

  1. Why is everything so huge!! How can I realistically clear a flat area for everything so that it's visually parseable? Do I have to just build huge foundation plains in the sky or whatever? That's what I've been doing so far since the base is currently at the edge of a cliff.
  2. Is there a way to stack conveyor belts or like align them so that they look a little decent, or should I just embrace the spaghetti?
  3. The game says to embrace verticality, but so far very few machines can actually be stacked. It would be nice to stack Constructors or Assemblers, is that possible? Seems like no?

  1. Structural components are cheap, building a multi-story factory is easy to do, that's what I usually do.

  2. If you're building on foundations/floor you can rotate things by consistent degrees, and you can set up paths using the conveyor mount pieces to prep.

There is a conveyor piece that has ladders on the side which can be stacked vertically on top of itself, allowing you to run multiple conveyors vertically on the same path.

But spaghetti is also fine, especially for your first factories. I usually end up making a factory-making-factory so I can have limitless building components.

  1. You can only stack them on different floors, which is why I do that. Typically I'll have the bottom floors be raw material/basic goods, and feed them up onto higher floors where more complex things are being produced.
