Back in co-op, with Steelworks done, the next item I had in my head was a Nobelisk factory, since my plan was to siphon off a small portion of the Coal from Steelworks, and use that with the nearby Sulfur. I picked out a location for the factory, spliced into the Coal line I want to pull from, and went ahead and built out all the long-run beltwork.

Aaaaaaaand, then I ran out of Reinforced Iron Plate. And that's a factory we tore down, in order to make room for the new Copperworks factory, after the factories feeding it Iron Plates and Screws were torn down for a re-build. Those are now back online, but we haven't rebuilt a factory for Reinforced Iron Plate yet, and we've fully depleted our backlog. Gonna have to change gears and build at least a temporary solution for that.

In the meantime, my wife has been cranking on Copperworks.

So far, I'm a fan.

Back in my singleplayer save, I built out the rest of the roof and started adding catwalks to the Smart Plating factory.

But then, I noticed this weird white speckly graphical artifacting...

OSHIT! Forget Smart Plating!

Big fan of the rework they went with for falling presents. Much less obnoxious on the screen, and actually a little more gamified, in what it takes to collect them.

Good start.
