First thought after loading a neglected save game...

We've all done it. Life gets busy and you shelf Factorio for a while. Some time later, you load the save game and think....?

For me, I just stared for a while at the mess I left my base. I must have been in the middle of a complete restructure between that "half-hand fed" stage to complete automation of my base. In a way it's nice as it's a relatively blank slate, but I have no idea what machinations or layout I was thinking of when I was starting to lay down new stuff.

I wonder if I was drunk when I saved.... :lol:

Everytime I open a save I had sheveled I think the same thing.

Was I drinking when I did this factory? Why is that train line there? Who in the hell setup that oil system. Etc etc

I'd like to think I've just gotten better at the game with each save i start and and each new playstyle I chose lol.
