        I like to describe the aliens that attack you in factorio as environmentalists.

            They get stronger because they mutate to fight back

            I never meant evolution, or to spark a debate about it. They fucking get stronger the more poison there is, maybe something whacky happens to them

                Pollution makes their species stronger; this doesn’t imply an individual preference.

                Idiots walking off cliffs doesn’t make the survivors like cliffs; it teaches them to avoid them.

                That said, evolution can be a real crap shoot, and you never know what sort of perverse effects you’ll get: like us loving sugar so much we eat ourselves into diabetes.

                Drag is correct, but it’s fantasy evolution we’re talking about

        But your corporate overlords demand it, sadness isn’t efficient, get back to work!

        But really they did a great job with commentary. People still say “why can’t we get green energy in the game?”. Because that’s not the point. This is raw capitalism. You’re dropped on a pristine planet, destroy the environment, clear it of all natural resources. It’s &meant_ to make you feel guilty. Maybe look around outside
