Memes aside, since I've been on the internet long enough to know that this could legitimately be the first time someone's seen this information:

A brown recluse is a real spider endemic to the central United States. They are small, slender, and brown. Their bites are venomous and can require medical attention. In rare cases they can potentially be lethal, especially in young children.

Have you played 1.0 yet? You can automate a lot of the biomass process now that the main biomass burners (I.e. Not the ones attached to the hub) have conveyer belt inputs.

I basically set up two industrial storage bins at the beginning of a biomass production line, one for wood and one for leaves. Each bin feeds into a constructor that turns the associated raw resource into biomass. Then feed those biomass constructors into another constructor that makes solid biofuel. Finally hook that up to the generators and all you have to do is spend a few minutes every hour or so collecting leaves and wood to dump in the storage bins.

It's still enough work that automating coal is a huge priority, but it's not as tedious as it used to be at all.

Theropods were warm blooded, like birds. They would not be able to endure without eating for weeks and months at a time like modern cold blooded reptiles.

POTUS should be a job filled by people with regular careers who serve their term, then return to their careers afterwards, if they don't wish to retire.

A POTUS who is a farmer will have unique insight on how to improve the lives of farmers. Then they go back to being a farmer too. Rinse and repeat for every other job. Doctor, college professor, cybersecurity professional, engineer, astronaut, etc, etc, etc.

Instead we just get career politician after career politician, usually with a background in law, or maybe finance.

There should be term limit reforms that also restrict ex-office holders from continuing careers as lobbyists* and other Capitol Hill creatures. Go back to your old career after holding office, or retire.

Yes, you can play on a LAN connection, offline assuming you both have your own PCs in the house. There is no split screen multilayer, yet. In fact, this is supposed to be the reason why only the PC version had it's release date moved up. They didn't see it as a requirement for the PC release and decided to work on the PS5 split screen issues, post PC release.

So PS5 will definitely have split screen functionality, and I suppose that might also go to PCs as well, but that's just a guess on my side.

They've been saying nodes could change and have been recommending a fresh start with 1.0 for months.

It sucks your new factory didn't work out, but this is what happens when you're playing an (formerly) early access game and you don't pay attention to patch notes.
