So, instead of adding actual fuel to industry, like every other factory game, NQ is turning schematics into fuel... The correct answer is right there, it's in every good factory game that I have ever played. It should have been generators leading up to reactors to give more elements to play with and manage...
This is a train wreck. I didn't think anything would surpass New World for the most epic-dumpster-fire-trainwreck of a release, but NQ is lining it up so DU has a really good shot at surpassing New World for the worst release.
And just like New World, the only thing more cringe than the train wreck itself, is the white knights that follow saying everything is fine.
