Comment on What level of interest do you have in "empire building" location based games?

Idk about the whole corporation vibe. I’d personally go for “pure” industry. All players are working to grow a huge factory because we all know t̳̖̮͕͙h͈̪ͪ͊̈̿̍̐͢ĕ̪͖͔̃̃͛̄͌̚ ͉̙͈̩̩̬̪̓̉f̘̈ͭá҉̟c͔͖͌̚͡t̨͙̖̖̹͚̬͐ͧ͛̀̈́ò̻̼̙r̢̙͒́̂y̔ͫ͛̆ͥ̍͏̲̯͍̫͚̣͚ ͎̽̾̓̋͋̇m̹̣̙ͦ̿̑͡ȕ̝͕̑̿͒s̛̀̓̔̊t̗͈̦̽̀̆̃ ̠̯͕̀͒̃g̿̾̾̅͑͟ȑ̠̃ͨ̿͌̿̉o̿̽͂̐̒ͫ҉͔̲͚̺̲w̧͗͑͆̄̆ͦ̾

Hey that’s totally valid!
I’m an avid player of Factorio and Dyson Sphere Project. Those really scratch the pure factory itch.
I’m aiming to scratch a different itch here. Persistent empire building in competition with others over finite resources is an itch that’s REALLY hard to scratch. And that’s what I’m aiming for here.
That sense that you have built something that feels more tangible than other games you’re accustomed to. There’s a real world element, you control something that someone else cannot, with that comes that empire building feeling I personally live, and want to build a game around.
