You arrive on Gleba for the second time, you are determined to conquer the planet and get through the research tree. Playing with a mate you know, progress will be made.

It’s Tuesday, you’re off work, 6 hours of research, you will get to progress. Bots, turrets, some high quality tomato’s and boom, science is being made. You stick around, loading, onloading, building and fighting. Fending off attack after attack from the stompers, they obliterate, you rebuild. Science must be made.

Ship after ship. 1k science at a time you bring it to Nauvis. At one point you think you yourself, damn, this is taking so much science, 10k to research a 4000 science tech. But that’s ok, you are making progress. Now, you’re all set, the last tech will be researched, finishing up on spidetron you look at one of the chests around the base, it has, spoilage ? Where, how, why? Your eyes move onto the loading bay, there’s an incerter with a blacklist filter, space science, Fulgora science, and, no agricultural science. You look at the logistics, 29,000 spoilage, 29,000 science packs, so much time, just, spoiled… Your absolute idiot of a mate who, whilst you were conquering and making progress was, routing the belts and making sure ore patches are dry put a purple chest with a filter on it. The absolute idiot, the moron, the inefficient imbecile, your time, your efforts just gone… You could have saved 6-10 hours. Circa 20 trips on your unautomated ship, but no, there’s this one inserter with an active supplier chest that robed you of your precious agriculture….

One thing for certain, will never play with mates again
