Factorio Forums

So I was watching this video the other day and all I could think was "this has great economy of scale and would be perfect for factorio." https://youtu.be/01iDVrKmi9w

Yes, hamster power would be an absolute joke, but you'd have a use for all that wood.

actually it could be fun
imagine having to feed it a bit of food on a regular basis, but then it actually produced a bit of power for you, just like a small solar panel.
(especially if there are several hamsters in a cage, using lots of wheels)

there could even be a way to feed it fish protein and wheat byproducts (from several mods like Angel Farming, and PyMods) to convert a few spare resources into power (not much, but as long as it is a slight gain to the player its fun).

actually, there was a cool-sounding Cook mod below, for an old version, but that had lots of things regarding food and animals, maybe there is even a hamster hiding in there too:

Would totally love "biter hamster" power generation XD.
Capture biters, and make them run to generate power.

maybe the old alien artifacts would become called Biter Hamsters, and 100 of them are simply used in a recipe, which makes a Solar panel
