I kind of stopped playing after I got all the repeatable techs, and got my interplanetary resource distribution network going among all the planets. Next step would be scaling up towards better and better quality on everything, but I find that my motivation is lacking. I haven’t even launched Factorio in months - I started playing Techtonica, and will move on to Satisfactory next.

Yep, most of my non-tech friends just say “Ads? Oh yeah, I don’t even notice them anymore, I got so used to them.” whenever that topic pops up in a conversation.
