it was a simpler time

WW2 would be a different story...

Good point actually.

And not one of each size either. Each having both gauges and several points where you have to switch trains because of a gauge change

Not worth risking, being on same continent as americans.

Statistically it's much more likely to get invaded if you are on a different continent from them.

In some millon of years we have it again.

federation test

California has always been on the coast.

Commenting to watch the federation test, commenting on Lemmy has felt more like yelling into a void than usual.

Sure, but only for like, 115million years. Then you'd have to deal with it breaking apart for the next 200 million years.

So what you’re saying is, we have a chance?

Do you fuck wit pangaea?

Who wants to live that close to the US?

That's exactly what I'm saying

As much as Factorio's map gen algorithm is great for ensuring balanced access to resources and (functionally) infinite sprawl, I would love some handcrafted maps that involve feature scale and fractality (fractalness?) approaching real life. The default map gen is too samey after a certain point and size reached.

All of that would have been Mongolia long before European colonizers ever got a chance to genocide the new world natives.

An alternate history of the world if it was still pangea would be a wild book.

Don't it always seem to go

Yeah, seems like federation broke for a couple days. I made a post about it on !main@sh.itjust.works and got this response from one of the admins:

So it seems the problem was on our end, but also exclusive to instances running 0.19.18

It is fully caught up for blahaj and mander, but still catching up for .world

Dumb question, but would Pangea be flat? Or would it still have the mountains that form by the continents colliding?

Not dumb question, yes there were some of the mountain ranges we have today were a part of it.

Wait, I can see where the idea of a flat earth in an endless ocean comes from ;->

As a pro, there would be hardly any invasive species. But, imagine all the Australian venemous things in your backyard!

Companies would still make flying around the waterworld the default. Claiming "sound issues" for the people below....

it would also be incredibally hot inland too.

And somehow we would still have US americans tell us, that pangea is too big for a usable railway network.

AUSTRALIA IS GONNA COLIDE WITH SOUTH AMERICA? NO WAY WE GONNA HAVE SUPER DUPER MEGA SPIDERS
