Pretty off topic, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't use "____ crack" as a way to describe something that is addictive.

Why? Isn't crack famously (or infamously) addictive?

Not any more than cocaine. The major difference between the two is mostly who does them

Wow, I ask a valid question about a old post and I'm punished with multiple downvotes. Lesson learnt.

You were downvoted because you did not RTF FAQ.

But you're happy to abuse me. So that is acceptable then.

What if there was a package manager for Factorio?

Factorio packages are Blueprints and Blueprint Books! And the equivalent of npmjs.com would be https://factorioprints.com . https://wiki.factorio.com/Blueprint https://wiki.factorio.com/Blueprint_book https://factorioprints.com/ https://www.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/7vnkze/blueprint_... One of the stages of evolution of a Factorio programmer is learning how to make scalable modular blueprints that you can stamp…

yeah at this point I consider a game like that solved and my interest in it disappears along with any craving to explore more. It is solved, move on.

That's a bit like saying programming is solved because package managers exist.

Just like NPM packages, blueprints just let you get into much more trouble much faster!

How did you came to the conclusion that I am abusing you by pointing out that you did not read the FAQ?

My message was not even unsolicited. You were asking why and I gave you an answer.
