It should go on a truck next and head over the Cascade into the wilds of eastern Washington state.

Fascinating article! Well worth a read & a boost!

“With China, It’s Getting Late Early”

by Prof. Robert Pape in Escalation Trap on Substack

“What Americans Are Suddenly Seeing From Trump’s Beijing Trip — And What I Saw Touring China’s Advanced Industries”

[..]

“I came away convinced that much of Washington is debating the wrong problem.

The issue is no longer simply whether China manufactures goods more cheaply than the United States.

The issue is whether China is beginning to organize innovation itself more effectively than the United States”

So I started a new Satisfactory save on experimental 1.2 and I think I might need to see if my target goal is even possible. The goal is to deliver a certain number of parts to the space elevator.

In 1.2, they allowed you to adjust those deliverables, so for example I set it to be 10x the base number. 200 is now 2000.

To make this more fun, I'm wondering if it's possible to Save The Planet in a certain amount of time, such as deliver the necessary parts in 5 hours. This would be a huge logistical challenge, which is half the fun of Satisfactory anyways.

Turns out, I need a few hundred GW of power if I wanted to do this, which might not be possible. For my power plant alone, I would need over 10,000 oil/minute. I might need to get very creative with the alternate recipes.
