This bad boy can fit so much ⚙️ in it!
That terrain looks perfect for it too! The adjacency bonuses you can stack up are huge, assuming there's a nearby river.
I get that life is safer, cleaner, and more comfortable for almost everyone on earth.
But, I wish I could decide to spend a few months not working and living in the mountains or jungle without any serious work or financial repercussions.
My wife and I are at a place where we have a long term plan to save and buy land away from the city.
I can’t wait until I’m out in the country side and and can go outside to nature rather than concrete.
without any serious work
this part sadly only works, if you've already worked your ass off beforehand.
Have you tried being born rich?
Meh, you can be pretty middle class and afford to take a month or two off of work.
I could do it with my PTO if I really wanted.
Most people aren't middle class.
"worked your ass off beforehand"
Criticism potentially not valid if you've tricked a corporation to pay you to shitpost.
👌👍 cope with the reality that 30% of the country are home owners with wealth and not living week to week.
the country
The best part is there's a lot more ignorance and disingenunity in the statement than that.
Unless he's just saying homeowners don't work hard for what they have.
Have you tried being born rich?
That's what it's being addressed. That a middle class exists and can and do take a month off at a time. They went off into left field. Try to keep up.
I know your whole schtick is being a bit of a dumb bastard that confuses himself for a rationalist, but the phrase "working their ass off beforehand" applies to the job(s) they work and earned with personal effort and the familial responsibilities they have, unlike the idle rich.
That's kind of the point, though. The fact that you can't just...live in the world without participating in a destructive and exploitative economic system first is disgusting and immeasurably immoral and unethical.
That sounds wonderful. I often fantasize about living on a mountain side in a cottage with a porch where I sit with my wife on a crisp morning, just enjoying the sun rise, a coffee and the comfort of being in the moment with my closet ally on earth.
I wish I had the money to do that someday.
I congratulate you and your wife to make a dream come true. I believe, if you long so much and can make it happen, it will be worth it and it is something to work for.
Sorry to mislead, we are far from the dream. But we have a plan at the very least and we can, for the first time, really see a path to get there. We still have years and years to go.
Me when playing Satisfactory. Although I'd rather have a bit of a flatter area
Nah, the topology is not suited for logistics. Also no infrastructure in the area.
No infrastructure yet.
yes, this site is better suited for mineral extraction.
Precisely. Entirely too rough of terrain.
What this place really needs is some nice rental properties. Pave some roads going all over the mountains and boom, easy $500/night
That's exactly right... For now.
But if there's coal in that mountain, we can level the whole thing like they do in West Virginia and leave a nice flat spot for an industrial park when we're done.
Hermitcraft
nah, more like:
imagine an open pit mine here 😍
maybe mountaintop removal?
Urf, one of the candidates for mayor of the region where I live said that if they won they'd make an industrial park to encourage jobs ... a third of the municipality is a nature reserve, half of it is a literal mountain, and the remainder is small farms. There are no roads big enough for a full size lorry, and there's a large industrial estate in the valley below which provides lots of jobs.
It just made me wonder if they were that corrupt or simply on drugs.
if they were that corrupt or simply on drugs.
Probably both
The factory must grow!
Free roam honey industry
I get the point, but I am also obsessed with automation games, so you it says that and I'm like "oh, I can put the hub over there, and a tower on that mountain so I can get a good look at the factory in the valley. Oh, and I hope there is a good water source over around that bend I can put oil there."
There may be something wrong with me.
Such thoughts can be very Satisfactory indeed.
needs an Amazon warehouse and a super highway
William Cronon’s “The Trouble with Wilderness” should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in conservation or environmental science. It's a great critique of how colonialism has tainted our understanding of what "wilderness" and nature in general is and humanity's role in them.
Read it here: https://faculty.washington.edu/timbillo/Readings%20and%20documents/Wilderness/Cronon%20The%20trouble%20with%20Wilderness.pdf
Developers/board members/politicians. It always has to be growth with them until everywhere is the same suburban hell.
Colonialists? You mean "locals" don't have either needs for industries that support human life, or just plain assholes that'll needlessly destroy nature for profit?

See - Cluses, Haute Savoie
And the upper Rhone valley in Switzerland for that matter lol
The German colonizers of Germany. The word is getting tired, friends.
