Why aren't we playing this lol?
In many ways, it's what I'd want from PA2. Obviously it's not PA2, but we should play it BEFORE the
Factorio expansion hits, because it will likely be incompatible with the expansion.
I am thinking of pausing PA wars for a while and just loading
Factorio on the server and playing every Saturday at the same time that we play the PA war. It's said to be a 100-hour game, and we'll probably play much more if we ramp up the difficulty and end up dying a lot.
I am thinking this is a good time to do this, as we just played a very cool PA war earlier today, with one of the funnest finales of all time to boot, so we can pause the wars on a high note.
Alternatively, we can just alternate between
Factorio and PA every week. That should keep both games feeling fresh for us. Probably the best plan would be to play just
Factorio for the next 2-3 weeks, since we haven't played it in years as a big group, and I for one have missed it, and then after that we can ease into an alternating schedule.
Let me know what people think. I was blown away by that page I linked at the top, it looks like Factorio 2, and I want to jump into it asap. Whoever hasn't seen it needs to take a close look. I will update the game thread at some point with all that info. Insane work. It might be the greatest mod of all time. In fact I struggle to imagine how the official expansion can match let alone top it.
