also about as far as i've ever gotten playing workers and resources

"Aw fuck, do I want to start a farm or a gravel pit? I'm paralyzed with indecision, better uninstall now"

[-] context@hexbear.net 33 points 3 months ago

honestly the biggest problem is that i'm a useless apparatchik and the people who should be making decisions about gravel pits are the quarry workers

[-] context@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago

oh i've never uninstalled it i just keep becoming paralyzed with indecision over and over again because surely one of these days i'll get over my executive dysfunction enough to build a small network of collective farms around an urban center with a food factory. surely.

it takes me several real life weeks of prep just to get the construction industry and it's support population up and running

super rewarding if you power through eventually though. however long it takes.

i will keep calling it the kerbal space program of city and factory games

good to know, i think part of what stops me is seeing the several weeks of prep i need to do and noping out of there to play dwarf fortress

[-] Des@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago

lol for me dwarf fortress is the prep game.

way moreso though for rimworld since i intricately mod and balance the game and create characters/xenohumans and do a trans cyberpunk thing

i haven't figured out how to do that for dwarf fortress i have a feeling i will eventually

[-] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago

But what if you make a bunch of collective farms around a fabric factory and a clothing manufacturer and they make some really pretty stuff. Oh, but people need bread with the roses and uhhhhhhhh.

Are you playing on realistic mode?

[-] context@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago

mostly not because i'm trying to skip past the worst of it and actually play the game. it's weird, i can play dwarf fortress and make all the decisions i need to but when it comes to w&r i just can't.

Gravel pit is the answer at first btw, farms are so expensive to set up. Importing gravel takes up a lot of infrastructure and fuel, so it gets expensive or at least inconvenient. And it's good preparation for realistic mode. Also gravel is so easy to do now!

you too? that game seems so simple and yet it is just deceptively difficult to understand

In Soviet Alaska (owned by RuZZia) the entire population of one town lives in one commie bloc and they all share the same bathroom. Still think communism is "cool"?

Marx wrote several books explaining the communal toothbrush is the key to it all.

This is a strawman argument, because communism is a concept and not a specific implementation.

You might not like it, but this is what peak walkable neighborhood performance looks like.

Whittier is cool. They've got everything packed in to that building.

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Is there a public goon cave in there?

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago

To the best of my knowledge there is not.

[-] autismdragon@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago

Well then how good can it be?

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago

That's what I'm saying

[-] sexual_tomato@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

Only if you give a marshmallow to the Goon Coon 🦝.
