      I just found out last week factorio is on a system that I own. Turns out there was a major addiction missing in my life.

      As a programmer, I knew I would enjoy it. What I didn’t realise was that in just a week it would literally make me better at my job.

      I’m playing the game, and solving problems for work, I’m working, and solving problems in the game, in a huge feedback loop.

      Can a video game make you better person? I’m not sure, but if they can, this and Kerbal Space Program are the ones to do it.

        I went looking to see if there were subsequent clones in the “Sim Tower” at one point, and was kind of surprised that it didn’t really take off after the Yoot Tower sequel.
