I see we have a bunch of Factorio players here.

Much better for a science district IMO. Look at all those mountains

Those mountains? Nah, that place needs mining!

The only reason there isn’t one already (I count farmland) is because it’s mountainous and too hard to get too. The last remaining old growth trees on the planet are still standing simply because they’re hard to get too.

Satisfactory in a nutshell.

Reminds me of the “Island Sanctuary” feature added to Final Fantasy XIV, where you were promised your very own tropical paradise to visit and decorate. Ended up being little else to do there other than build and manage factories.

There’s probably already a Dollar General on the other side of that mountain

Wholesome ☺

Reminds me of the mines in Papua

Who could think to develope this scenic mountain range into an industrial complex. It wouldn’t be economical to establish utility and transportation infrastructure, let alone the private cost for each facility and the cost of exporting goods. It mkght be eligible for strip mining since you can pop the top and the shit falls right into the hopper while those mountain springs carry all the tailings away for you (see appalachia).

It is much easier to establish an industrial park in a level area, preferable near navigable water. Enter wetlands and low lying coastal forests. Avatar was dead on with this. They make for the most economical places to clear/drain, pave over and exploit. Distance to the port is a major factor in profit margins and long term savings can overcome development costs in shit areas (see New Orleans). Can’t stop the work.

Omg id work there in a heartbeat

That terrain is way too steep.

How bout no
