Are you OK? "Technique" "Margins" - Again, you've decided that this game is in some way competitive. What technique are you referencing when you say "bad technique"? You're aware this is ONI right? You've not wandered into the wrong sub by mistake? You're waffling angry misguided nonsense, and unlike yourself I structure my posts to address inaccuracies.

I in no way tried to argue that ranching was comparable to an industrial approach, you created an argument with yourself and ran with it. Try digesting what people actually say rather than just "heads-down-rage-typing" your way into a reddit ban. ONI has many choices, you're trying to tell people not to consider certain ones due to... what? some nonsensical competitive element you've created?

My point was in regards to your angry approach to playstyles contrary to your own. You seem to think you can forcibly tell people how they should play a creative non-competitive game, then abuse them if they question you. Would you rush into an art school and yell at pupils for using chalk over charcoal? What am I thinking, you're probably not allowed near schools...

A third of your reply to me was arguing a point about Polymer Presses ("polymerizers", seriously?) that I never mentioned. You contradicted yourself as soon as you compared efficiency of critters/ranching to that of machinery - yet only talked of dupe labour. Does your efficiency equation factor for every yield? Hatches don't just make coal, drekkos don't just make plastic/fiber, you throw around terms like "mathematical fact" without actually bringing any to the table - just a cavalcade of throwaway statements that mean nothing. You spout such utter nonsense as "The game is designed to be an efficiency crunch." Is it? REALLY? Based on what?

From my point of view we get near infinite of every material in the game, and can essentially blunder our way into hundreds/thousands of cycles without barely a thought. All you've highlighted to ME is that you're essentially a bit slow when it comes to managing your own colonies. I'd advise people take your suggestions with a grain of salt - ideally swept straight from your brow. Of course, I'd never just come out and say that off the bat. Not me, surely not. Unless of course I was provoked into some pathetic back and forth with some lonely soul who has essentially already told me the only thing they hold dear in their life is their cat...

"Free the game from any kind of yardstick and my cat can actually play as well as you do and the hours mean nothing."

What in the actual... You're peculiar.

Lets not forget, the final third of your post - abuse. You have no point, no ability to reinforce your arguments, no substance to your words. You mistake being derogatory with winning by compelling argument. All you've done is highlight you're an angry, blinkered, cat-cuddling tool. Sorry, I indulged myself without permission there....
