" This game made me empathize less and less with environmentalists. Forests are an impediment to a transport network. Wildlife are pests. Renewable energy has extremely low ROI."
It's funny you should say that. I noticed that nuclear energy in Factorio is waste-free, and (at least without mods) there's no risk of a nuclear reactor suffering a meltdown and massively damaging large areas of your base.
Also, it was interesting to see just how massive a solar panel array you'd have to have in order to match even a coal power plant, never mind a small nuclear power plant.
On the other hand, Factorio's factories pollute, and fighting hard to reduce pollution is a major part of the game.
>"No risk"
Well if a biter manages to kill the reactor while it's hot I think it explodes. But that's unlikely to happen unless lots of things go wrong.
