  • I also hear that argument often and I absolutely hate it. They always say “tech them things like insert manual labor work. Nobody needs Math.”

    It always depends. A lot of people will likely never use a saw outside of school. Especially in a time where a lot of people go to university the skills that complex math teaches you are basically the bare necessitys. Also school usually is teaches you the basic broad knowledge and skills required to get more specific education on a specific topic. This includes studying all different subjects and also getting training as a woodworker. It is literally impossible to focus on everything and that also isn’t really the use of school. Its just the first and universal form of education.






  • Say it with me:

    No. Research. Is. Useless.

    If we say that research is useless because it doesn’t bring you mo ey we could stop teaching children math beyond the absolute basics because “it doesn’t brinf them anything”. This is stupid, because those are the fundamentals that tech children to thing logically and become useful member of society. Same with research. It teaches us the things necessary to maybe invent some of the most useful stuff ever seen


  • 20 hours was probably the time I was finished with the basic train network and set up my first “big” steel smeltery (just a small one that was capable of smelting one train at a time, didnt want to build to much of them without bots). I’m currently at 30h and I can now finish all of the nauvis sciences, getting bots and setting up nuclear. This is also my second run I ever did(didnt finish the last one due to space age) so I am much slower. I also fucked up my starter base so badly, that it wasn’t anywhere near being capable of getting me through any research higher than green without turning into a gigantic spaghetti.
