  • It took me half a year to get to MV (with a full time job and an active social life). Be aware of what you are getting into.

    I went for a huge open floor factory hall with a second layer for fuel pipes underneath. Not sure if it is really necessary to think about layouts in advance.

    Try it out. It IS the ultimate expert pack in my opinion and if you have played nomifactory before you know enough about gregtech to get started, although I have to say the two versions of GT differ a lot and I like the one from GTNH better.


  • Just play GT:NH for half a year and no pack will ever seem tedious to you again.

    Out of the three I only played the original E2:E, I liked it, but stopped playing at late midgame/early endgame (I set up some automation for extended craftings pedestal thing and then stopped). Expert packs all seem to get tedious at some point. But so do kitchen sink packs.

    I guess I’m saying: Just play a new pack. There are soooooo many packs to play out there.











  • The manufacturing question is a tough one, because changing this requires taking short term profits away from companies and exchanging them for a long term better future. That’s a tough idea to sell. But I guess I’m derailing the discussion a bit with that point.

    Letting people work from home is an easy decision in contrast. That’s just about changing some insecure managers minds. You can usually do that with numbers. Same goes for 4 day work weeks. Both of those are inevitable because companies who adopt it will have a competitive advantage in terms of acquiring talent in the next 10 years.



  • And then there is the guys in the factory and the warehouse who can not be afforded this “luxury”. The doctors and nurses, the school- and kindergarten-teachers who need to be at a specific place to do their jobs. This proposal simply does not work for everybody. The whole “work from home debate” seem to focus on a particular kind of jobs and disregards that all those jobs only exists, because manufacturing takes place in China. I’d love to see a change of focus, from product price to quality and sustainability of industry products to go along with qualified manufacturing jobs returning to Europe. And in that context we can hopefully stop shifting the exploitation of workers to Asia along with the Jobs and exploit our own workers again. NO! Of course, not exploit them as much anymore.
