- Factorio.
  The factory must grow.
  
  I like to describe the aliens that attack you in factorio as environmentalists.
  
  They hate that fresh, artisanal air
  
  Pollution actually makes the bugs stronger. Maybe they like pollution and want to go eat it all up.
  
  They get stronger because they mutate to fight back
  I never meant evolution, or to spark a debate about it. They fucking get stronger the more poison there is, maybe something whacky happens to them
  
  That's not how evolution works. A species evolves to get stronger in battle if the weak ones die in battle. A species evolves stronger lungs if the weak ones die of lung cancer. Dying of lung cancer doesn't make a species better fighters.
  
  Pollution makes their species stronger; this doesn't imply an individual preference.
  Idiots walking off cliffs doesn't make the survivors like cliffs; it teaches them to avoid them.
  That said, evolution can be a real crap shoot, and you never know what sort of perverse effects you'll get: like us loving sugar so much we eat ourselves into diabetes.
  
  Drag is correct, but it's fantasy evolution we're talking about
  
  Maybe. Or maybe they like the pollution. Maybe with better resource availability, they're able to spend more energy on growing bigger and stronger without threatening survival.
  
  I just got done with an 8 hour factorio session so this meme resonated
- The factory must grow
- I feel so bad cutting trees and draining lakes 😔
  
  But your corporate overlords demand it, sadness isn't efficient, get back to work!
  But really they did a great job with commentary. People still say "why can't we get green energy in the game?". Because that's not the point. This is raw capitalism. You're dropped on a pristine planet, destroy the environment, clear it of all natural resources. It's &meant_ to make you feel guilty. Maybe look around outside
  
  I thought we were saving kittens and puppies...
  
  i feel like the enviroment is into that shit
  consume
  
  Thing is that renewables are efficient actually.
