So after 100 hours on this save, finally reaching my first planet (Vulcanus), I traditionally decided to start from scratch. But instead of making a new save, I deconstructed my whole base, left only a 2x6 nuclear plant, and tried to build the new ULTIMATE FINAL FACTORY. And suddenly, I just lost all will to play. Trying to plan way ahead for a giant factory overwhelms me so much.

The funny part is that I’m a full-stack developer professionally, and using AI so much at work has seriously fried my brain. Now I literally struggle to play a game that used to feel like programming practice before...

It’s amazing and kind of sad what AI has done to my brain. Just wanted to vent. Cheers, guys.
