I'm on the Factorio train since 2016 and I'm well over 2000 hours into the game. I had a lot of fun playing, modding, single, multi, basically, I know the game and I like it very much. But there is one problem, which bothers me, always did, and probably will in the future, I want to talk about end-game, late late game. I feel like this game has such a great potential to be the best game ever created, but the game engine is holding it back, every time you start a new game you already know you will not be able to play past some point. This makes me very sad, and sometimes I just don't even start. What is the point spending 300hrs on a save, when there is only one thing, which is 100% going to happen, and it's reaching the roof. Already when creating a new world I can tell you when it is going to end. I know that the game cannot be simply turned to multithreaded, but it would make me feel a lot better if I knew there was something going on behind the scenes to enhance the performance. I don't know guys how do you fell about this, and if you ever created a mega-base, but for me, it has become tiring, when you cannot just do what you want and instead you need to calculate the best UPS efficient methods in order to make your games last longer. It kills the creativity and in the end the fun. I really hope the only solution to this problem is not i9-999999999K at 50GHz. Let me know what do you think, cheers <3
