But efficiency was the only achievement, and you never truly achieved it.

(but of course I am happy to have them, and I think I have to 100% it)

    We all know that the only real achievement is reaching coal power so we don’t have to fuss with biomass ever again.

          Same. If they ever add a way to farm plants, I would consider having a few permanent biomass burners just for funsies.

            They’re not complicated, I just have a couple containers that feed through two layers of constructor to make solid biofuel that sits ready for 8 burners in case my production ever starts dipping over the line… 240 MW isn’t much but it only starts burning if needed and gives me time to ramp up coal or shut something down before everything goes offline

            I don’t know if it’ll be useful at all once I get my first fuel generators running (just unlocked it this playthrough), but they’ve kicked on a couple of times even into mid tier 5…

            Basically, they’re extra “batteries” that “charge up” every time I chop down trees to make room for factories

      Personally I’d say it’s having the realization that your entire build is either wrong because of your math or because it won’t scale, having the mental breakdown, and pushing through and rebuilding everything

      Biomass isn’t that bad now that it has conveyors. It’s still annoying but not painful.

      Leaves & wood -> biomass -> solid fuel -> generators. All automated. I put the leaves in the top bin, the wood in the bottom (like a tree!) and the constructors do the rest.
