From the discussion
A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
> The rocket launch was only achieved through significant ‘manual’ effort on Sol’s part as it papered over its late-game failures to connect certain production systems by repeatedly ferrying supplies between areas of the factory. Robots: they're just like us!
Watching AI play games is fun, but I can't wait for someone to crack having small LLMs in games to enrich them in useful and interesting ways.
Factorio is a much easier game without the bugs being a pain in the arse as you expand - i wonder how Sol would handle the bugs
