Hey everyone! This is a new community focused on NonPolitical Comics (NPCs), which essentially means no gloom and doom of the day stuff.

If you like the idea, we need help! Take a couple of minutes to find a comic that you like and post it here for the rest of us!

I'm more of a Satisfactory guy. I stayed up to an unhealthy time playing that tonight actually

Still stuck on Phase 2 after god-knows-how-long because I'm perpetually unhappy with my current production, storage and power setup. Fuck progression, I wanna have a solid base setup first.

At work, I have plenty of tech debt resulting from time pressure to ship a "good enough for the use case" product. I'll damn well take the time to do things properly when I have the chance.

Factorio just stressed me out when I played. Satisfactory was chill.

I was complete opposite. Filling up the bio generators was like a ticking clock and it stressed me out so much.

I hate that phase too but you can burn though it to coal pretty fast

These days you can belt it up to a stash, and fill that up to the brim. The bio burners are only really needed for like 0.1% of the game.

That's fair. The bio generators are a bit annoying. But nowadays you just go out exploring for a while and just grab all the plants and you are good until you unlock coal. There's not much of a penalty with running out of power for a bit than a bit of time lost.

Satisfactory just stressed me out when I played. Factorio was EFFICIENT.
