✅ 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.

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.
