Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Factorio.

You just do tasks to do more tasks.

Fix a bottleneck here, fix one there. Bam 10 hours gone.

Ok lets progress. Let's make sth. new, ok what do I need for that thing.

This, this and that and this and that. Let me quickly setup a production line for that.

Bam 20 hours gone.

All I am doing is being a slave of the factory

Lies. There is no such thing as fixing the bottleneck. It's only moving it somewhere else.

This is true... You widen the bottleneck and now another neck has emerged. The real enemy is infinite expansion.

I feel like there's a lesson about capitalism here 🙃

The factory must grow.
