ill-ion

This project looks simple until you realize how much engineering went into it.

The original assets were never meant to be physical, so they had to completely re-engineer isometric tricks and floating geometry for 3D printing. Releasing the files instead of an expensive collector's edition is a classic Factorio move, and I personally love it. Now the community can remix these and build some awesome stuff that the original devs could never imagine. Awesome stuff!

"Provenance" tracks where data came from, but "taint" tracks where unsafe data can flow. It's a uhh not so sexy term, but it is the industry standard term.

I agree, but the problem is when we outsource understanding.

Maybe they were hoping for some of that sweet sweet gov money. Maybe a bailout, who knows?
