I enjoy her posts quite a lot, they’re pretty funny
edit: oh I forgot to mention I’m @QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works, I was just on this account because federation issues which seem to be worked out now 🤷♀️

See what they took away from us!
they
Plate tectonics?
Psst! Don’t say their name too loud. That’s bad for the algorithm
I want to see it.
The idea makes me think of The Centerfuge Brain Project where the doctor, talking about a gondola-type… ride, says, “people would fall asleep, miss their stop, and have another 14 hour ride, and you can imagine the problems that caused.”
Who wants to live that close to the US?
Being landlocked would suck.
In some millon of years we have it again.
Nah, we needed to wait for the landmasses to stop moving around first.
The train tracks would have kept the continent from splitting apart
Good point actually.
depends. is america building it? thered be 2 lines
2 lines of different sizes
America wouldn’t exist in Pangea. There wouldn’t be any undiscovered lands to act as The Man in The High Castle
They’d actually build a pretty extensive and well-functioning one and then dismantle it all under pressure from car manufacturers.
Did you know: If all the railway lines in the US were joined end to end
...
it would help
If you just wait for another geological age we will build hyper-gea, I promise.
Suddenly I want a Pangea Factorio map.
The factory needs more land
As much as Factorio’s map gen algorithm is great for ensuring balanced access to resources and (functionally) infinite sprawl, I would love some handcrafted maps that involve feature scale and fractality (fractalness?) approaching real life. The default map gen is too samey after a certain point and size reached.
Maybe the dinosaurs had a kick ass railway network
i think during Pangea, the center of the mass was a big ass desert, and a very dry one, the network would probably look like a doughnut
Oh I just saw the answer to this in the new Dinosaurs doc on Netflix, assuming it’s accuracy. At the beginning of Pangea the center was a desert with only the edges having any plant life, then there was a geologic event I think a large number of super volcanoes that caused a climate shift and there was a million years of hurricanes, when the storms finally subsided Pangea was green all over
Like Australia?
Like a smaller Australia, yes.
Sounds like hell for Sir Mix-a-lot.
That empty land would allow for some nice desert crossings. Empty land is easier to develop and you can go faster.
I’m imagine a donut with at least 2 dessert lines but maybe more. Likely a terminal town would appear in the center of the continent to be used for transfers
They would still be bitching and bickering about it.
Need me a Pangea openttd map
OpenTTD in the wild.
Rail network?! That’s commie talk. Real patriots would have an interconnected highway system.
Think of all the mega parking lots this bad boy could fit!
Hell yeah! I love a good mega parking lot!
just 1 more lane bro, we’re gonna solve traffic dude just add 1 more lane
The factory must grow. Only took me 7,000 hours to start using trains.
I think that’s not actually Pangea (the past supercontinent), but a rendition of Pangea Proxima (the future supercontinent). So just gotta wait a while…
We can do the structures now, and wait for them to match like legos by themselves
If every country would just build for the future Mother Nature will eventually finish the connections.
It’s definitely not pangea. For one, South America and Africa are not connected (which is the one thing everyone knows about plate tectonics). However what initially jumped out to me was India and the Himalayas (which are a relatively recent geological event).
So what you’re saying is, we have a chance?
