✅ 4/minute Ballistic Warp Drive
✅ the coveted 1000-ticket Golden Nut
✅ 106/106 Somersloops and 298/298 Mercer Spheres found
Okay, I think I'm "done" with this game for the time being - the 1.0 save here at least.
The BWD really is the most complex item in the game, the final assembly pulls together operations over a good half to 2/3 of the world. And then a final world tour to collect the last of the spheres while the tickets pile up.
Full Satisfaction attained.

Satisfactory (photo mode) screenshot: my pioneer looks east from the lush jungle-y Spire Coast towards a complex of conveyor and catwalk-linked buildings, the Ballistic Warp Drive operation, built over the water between here and the Rocky Desert, with some additional buildings jutting out from a cliff at the northern edge of the forest. in the distance are some mountains, and in the sky hangs a massive ringed planet.screenshot from my home base area showing the various bronze, silver, and gold statues of the pioneer and the game world's creatures (the "bean", the hog, the lizard doggo), as well as the Golden Nut, purchased with Ficsit tickets.full world map image of my savegame stitched together with the interactive map feature from https://satisfactory-calculator.com, showing various colored lines and boxes to represent construction. in the top right quadrant, some colored gradients representing radiation from the nuclear power plant.

I went back to my old "creative mode" save to look at the first real building-like thing I'd made, two summers ago, that became the basis for the concrete and glass style I've used since, as a point of comparison with the last thing I built for this 1.0 save (a rather lazy teetering HMF factory to cool down from the big project).
One way to think of how the player creates & relates to building in this game might be the old painting concept of the "architectural fantasy" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capricci

screenshot of a concrete and glass structure with a dramatic diagonal bent, a supportive structural mass on the left with a catwalk staircase winding up it, some big chunky orange steel "feet" to support the rest of the building, and a conveyor with copper wire emerging from one corner.screenshot: a distant view of a tall multi-story factory on the east desert coast, in more or less the same style from the previous screenshot, roughly two years apart.

Photo of me, a white man with a short dark beard, and dark hair, smiling at the camera, while sitting in front of a vintage terminal with green text on the screen.

I think fedizens should be able to disable replies to some or all of their posts

Every so often, there is a bit of a debate in the fediverse about whether a person should be able to make a post to which other users cannot reply.

@aphyrÉcole des Bro-Arts The DIN, the German institute for standardization, once had an exhibition about what it does and its history. One of the exhibits was a pair of staircases: one DIN-standardized, the other not. The latter was just slightly off, but enough to warrant a warning sign that it would be surprisingly weird (and potentially dangerous) to navigate.

This staircase you're showing, I don't think it's DIN-standardized ;)

I hate it that mastodon does not allow you to turn off replies. I'd love to scream something into the world and I don't want anyone replying to it.

And before I get a lot of mansplaining how it's people's right to reply: this is not even something controversial, just something I have no power to deal with any word-like feedback, no matter how well meant. And screaming out would help.

A baby begins crying on a plane, held by its mother.

A nearby woman leans over, smiles at the mother, then fusses over the baby, trying to distract it.

Vs

A nearby man looks at the mother with a pained expression, and says "can you, uh, do something about that?"

A gender essentialist would take these examples and say "see? Women have an inbuilt nurturing instinct, whereas men are if anything hostile towards infants. Mars, Venus, evolutionary biology, QED."

But. The reason that both passengers felt the need to act is exactly the same-- whether you're male, female, or anything else, the sound of a crying infant is a distressing one. It registers instinctively in your brain as a problem that needs to be fixed.

It's just that women tend to be socialised to think it's their job to do so.

And men also tend to be socialized to think it's women's job to do so.

Something to chew on, this Pride month:

As a cis and/or hetero person, you don't have to understand how it feels to be gay, pan, or ace, to be trans, enby, genderfluid or any other identity or orientation. You don't need to intellectually "get" it. It doesn't have to make sense to you.

There's nothing more to it than taking people's word for how they feel, and standing alongside them, as they simply live their lives as themselves.

Much love :BetterPrideHeart:

“I read the Fiverr CEO memo and immediately recognized something I’ve watched happen across creative industries: AI functions as the perfect management tool for increasing extraction while decreasing worker leverage” substack.com/@itssophieschoice

Sophie on Substack

I read the Fiverr CEO memo and immediately recognized something I've watched happen across creative industries: AI functions as the perfect management tool for increasing extraction while decreasing worker leverage. Let me explain. Throughout the memo, the CEO frames AI as an unstoppable external force - something happening to all of us that we must adapt to. "AI is coming for your jobs" carries a different implication than "we've decided to implement AI in ways that will eliminate positions." The first framing removes human agency and responsibility. The second acknowledges a choice. This matters because it completely reshapes how workers can respond. You can protest a decision. You can organize against a policy. But how do you fight a technological inevitability? The very framing forecloses resistance. I want to focus on what the memo actually demands: work "more, faster, and more efficiently now" while maintaining the same compensation structure. This represents the core transaction being offered. Your productivity must increase dramatically while your share of the value created remains fixed or diminishes. The CEO positions this as adaptation. The directive to "become a prompt engineer" is brilliant. First, create fear that AI will replace you. Then offer salvation through serving the very system threatening your livelihood. The worker transitions from creator to supervisor of their own replacement, maintaining just enough agency to feel responsible for their fate while watching their leverage erode. The story always sounds the same: Technology will change everything. Adapt or perish. Yet adaptation mysteriously always means producing more for less, with an ever-smaller slice of the pie. When the CEO invites employees to "sit with me" if they "want to be on the winning side of history," he’s telling on himself. He decides who wins in this scenario. The rules get written by people with interests. The technology serves those interests while being presented as neutral, inevitable progress. I wrote about this dynamic in my newsletter this week - how the emerging AI narrative treats creative work as merely a process to optimize rather than a fundamentally human activity with its own rhythms and values. Here's my advice, worth exactly what you're paying for it: When someone demands your labor intensify while suggesting your compensation remain static, all while invoking the specter of AI, ask yourself who benefits from your fear. It's rarely you. I believe we can demand more than becoming prompt engineers for our own obsolescence. I believe we can create technology that serves human flourishing rather than quarterly profits. And I know many of you feel the same way. https://www.thatfinalscene.com/p/ai-knows-how-we-write-but-not-why

웨이모도 테슬라도 대단하지만 바이두의 Apillo Go 로보택시도 대단합니다.

특히 $27,000이라는 6세대 로보택시 차량은 특히 인상적입니다.

2-3년 후면 중국의 주요 도시에서 검증을 마치고 전세계 시장에서 웨이모, 테슬라와 치열한 경쟁을 벌일 듯한데

특히 2030년 정도에 우리 나라에서 어떨지.

6월 22일 테슬라의 로보택시 이벤트가 끝나도 최소한 6월말까지는 수많은 논쟁이 오가겠네요.

Safety Driver(Safety Monitor)가 월말까지 빠지게 될지가 제일 큰 논쟁일 것이고 일반 승객의 탑승이 언제 시작될지와 운행 대수를 늘리는 문제에 관해서도 그럴 거고요. 6월까지라는 Unsupervised Robotaxi가 될거라는 큰 장담이 있었으니까요.

그리고 7월 초가 되면 해소된 몇 개의 문제 외의 수많은 다른 문제들 특히 공항으로 가고 오는 운행에 대해서 그리고 지오펜스 등에 관한 논쟁이 더 뜨거워질 거고요.

결국 연말까지 혹은 모든 면에서 웨이모를 오스틴에서 앞서야 이 논쟁이 끝날 듯합니다.

운행 대수도, 운행 지역도, 지오펜스 문제도, 승객의 경험도, 운행 건수도, 요금도요. 참 제일 중요한 일반 테슬라 차량들을 언제 로보택시 네트웍에 받아들이는 문제도 있네요.

물론 제일 큰 논쟁은 연말까지의 테슬라 주가와 올해 마지막 날 테슬라 시가총액이겠지요? ^^
