OK, been playing Satisfactory since December 25th, when I got it as a Christmas gifts.
I'm struggling in the game. I think I hit the mid-game blues, and it's just frustrating at this point. I tried to do the Ficmas event, but because I was new, I didn't have the equipment to make what I needed to make. So I had to pause, work on getting the machines, then restart the ficmas stuff. The dependency trees are kind of obvious. How to work around terrain, less so. I've run into dependencies I can't do anything about, like mycelium. The first branch in the mycelium research tree is 5 mycelium. Guess how much I got the first and ONLY time I found mycelium in the game? Yep, 4.
I recently upgraded my scanner to find enemies, and now I'm too scared to actually explore. I don't know why-- I was relatively fearless before. I finally sneaked around till I found an impure quartz node so I could work the quartz research tree. I'm about 50 game days in (hard to tell-- I died twice.)
I see pics and videos of really gorgeous Satisfactory setups, and I'm so impressed. And then mine? Mine looks like this:
Just absolute spaghetti. Anyway, I know I'm just complaining, but what is the Internet for but to whine about video games, right?
I think I'm going to put this one down for a while and do something more productive with my time, like eat yogurt or burn things.
Starting to explore migrating away from corporate social media like Facebook or Twitter, to the fediverse. The biggest obstacle is of course the network effect: I have a group of friends on Facebook, we all follow each other, will they migrate with me? I guess I'll find out. I am doing this gradually, first migrating to the fediverse (links in my profile), and starting a blog at write.as/leastaction/ with some longer pieces about topics that interest me: the meaning of democracy is a big one for me these days. And yes, the rise of oligarchic despots around the world.
If any of these things resonate with you, do let me know. I am very happy to have conversations about these important topics.
What's a good app for this on android? I'm currently using fedilab but I don't like having mastodon using the same app as this for autism related reasons.
I'm very new to this (as of yesterday, actually 🙈), and I found this page listing some mobile clients.
I'm experimenting with using the "Raccoon for Friendica" (via F-Droid), and also the one you're using, "Fedilab". I'm still learning to navigate, so I'm also using Firefox ("Add to Home page") from my smartphone (this is from desktop, though). Maybe the last one is worth a try for you - just go via a web browser?
I can't believe this is the global server and it's only like a couple hundred people here. I love it though, growing tired of the massive metaverse. Greetings from around the middle of the Europe! 👋✌️

California checking in. Looking for new social media after deleting Facebook. No more free content for fascists! Let's talk nature, bikes, GenX retirement, music, and global events.
Well, I didn't quit my FB account yet, but definitely looking for alternatives. Also joined mastodon today (it's X alternative). Hi from across the big pond.
So far I like it! Very customizable. It's nice having control over the content I see. And it's got a bit of that MySpace vibe with the BBcode. Switching up my background is fun.
Hi, I also joined mastodon today (an X alternative) and I also had these old times vibes, like when Google plus was starting. It feels nice, so niche. Almost like everyone's a part of a big family 🙃
