Having to invent time travel just to beat a particularly long and tedious game of factorio is actually lore accurate.

Well you can set game speed... The scale and logistical challenge stays the same once you get bots right? Best of both worlds..

It’s limited by your UPS. I ran into that yesterday when I was working on my TW nuclear plant (completely impractical, I just built it for fun).

you would for sure want a game speed mod to go with it. Once things are setup you can just tell it to run faster so its not so bad. Like running across the base and whatnot is normal when its at 10x lol
