Hmm, what does he mean "I woke up the next day"? Did he leave Factorio running, or did it get an online component while I wasn't looking?
Probably left it running? I've definitely left my factory to idle to build up resources while I'm gone, when I'm playing on peaceful mode. You could also run headless version of the game on a server and just connect to it for the same effect. Remember - Factorio is just an idle game with extra steps.

One reply tweet notes "a complex system always operates in a failure state", but to find more discussion on this point it's worth noting that this is a restatement of: > "The Fundamental Failure-Mode Theorem (F.F.T.): complex systems usually operate in a failure mode." -- John Gall, General Systemantics (aka Systemantics , aka The Systems Bible ), 1977 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systemantics > Searching for "funda…
They usually operate in a failure mode because it's easy to be deceived by the superficial appearances of complex systems, thus it seems like a big bother to drill down the layers, until a failure has occurred. As excellently demonstrated by this 'Factorio' player.
What drama with the Factorio devs is he talking about at the end (and namesearchers?.. I don't get Twitter sometimes) I've never heard anyone say anything about the Factorio devs except praise their productivity and professionalism.
I think that’s it.
Tests and their dashboards must distinguish “the testing system worked and the test failed” from “the testing system failed”.
