I thought this game was well known but I haven't seen almost any mentions of it recently. It's very weird for a FOSS enthusiast not to advertise one of the best open-source games of all time so here I am trying to make it spoken about again.

If you notice any symptoms of addiction while and/or after playing the game, stop playing immediately and consult with your doctor.

Factorio does look like Age of Empires with a 3 pack a day habit. And given pollution is a major mechanic in the game it's on theme.

Mindustry meanwhile has the look of a game you'd find on one of those old 101 games on 1 CD! complilations you'd find back in the 90's, and yet it runs...well like every other game that's ever been packaged as a .deb.

I don't really hitch horses with a game whose main gameplay loop involves keeping an eye on things that are off screen.
