I don’t know how it happened, but I don’t have a great dependence on games, I spend strictly dosed time in games every day (no more than 2 hours), and on some days I don’t even feel like playing games. Maybe I have some other attitude to games formed or subconsciously have a need for productive time.

When you press Q to clear your cursor but instead drop your pickaxe/scream and summon zombies/etc.

Surprised no one's said this yet. I'm not the only one, right?

Ah, this happened to me so much! The only sollution I could find to this problem was to stop playing Minecraft and switch back to Factorio.
