Sixteen Years ago in 2005 Annie Borjesson was found deceased on Prestwick Beach, Scotland. Immediately ruled a suicide, subsequent evidence has pointed to something more sinister. Yet it has been ruled a matter of 'National Secrecy', potentially involving multiple Intelligence Agencies.

[LONG] Hello everyone, this is going to be a long write up. If you wish you can check up my other write ups on my account. Usually I construct a chronological timeline, however today we will be following a evidence by evidence approach. There is an accompanying documentary to this post which can be found here and at the bottom.
The Body and Initial Investigation
Sixteen years ago, in 2005 a man was walking the coast of Scotland. On this cold December day he found a young woman, deceased on Prestwich beach. He called the police who quickly cordoned off the area. The crime scene consisted of a woman, face down on the beach with a travel bag containing most importantly her passport but also her wallet and some clothing.
The passport identified this woman as Annie Borjesson a 30 old swede who had been working in Scotland from 2004 till her death. Working in the[hospitality industry in the city of Edinburgh. Annie was described as a highly intelligent, musical and fun individual by her family and friends. She had plans to return to Sweden on the day she died, and was found only a few miles from the airport she planned to fly from. Yet somehow she ended up on the beach.
The Scottish Police removed the body from the scene and closed the investigation very quickly, within a day declaring it to be a suicide. Before even the autopsy would be performed. Further investigation by the Scottish police could not locate any Suicide note, and although these aren’t always present when suicides occur; it is indicative of what is to come. After an official statement was made identifying the cause of death as suicide by drowning, The Scottish Police did not open an inquest into the death, so no further investigation was ever officially conducted. The Police were certainly rushing to have this case closed and off their hands. This is where the rabbit hole begins.
The Undertakers and A Second Autopsy
An undertaker in Vargarda Sweden received the body, after inspection they noted discrepancies which were not accounted for by the authorities. The deceased was missing hair, the missing hair – to the undertakers could not have naturally been removed but rather had to of been removed by an external force, this hair had to of been pulled off the deceased scalp. Furthermore these undertakers too recognized bruising on her body, with particularly large bruises on her arm approximately the size of a palm as well as bruising behind her right ear. Furthermore these undertakers recognized what they called black and blue ‘thumb impressions’ on her neck and scrapes on her knees.
Now these are not the ramblings or complaints of a foreign undertaker not understanding the systems for dealing with autopsies and the dead in the UK. As before these complaints were made they were also put forward by another party; the deceased’s body passed through a different undertaker, who had a formal understanding of investigative systems and pathologists within the UK.
-The UK Undertaker-
This undertaker was located in London and prepared the deceased for transportation. After examining the body they wrote letters of recommendation to Scottish authorities and sent copies to the deceased insurance company and the family of Annie Borjesson. These letters contained the same analysis of the deceased’s body which was not accounted for by the authorities;
‘During the restoration of Annie in particular I found her hair was falling out due to washing and combing. I can verify that she did have significant bruising to her body which for reasons I cannot explain I believe were not included in the autopsy report. I find this to be quite unusual considering the circumstances of her death and I recommend a contact with the hospital coroner with this respect’
You might think that these bruises could have been caused by the sea, or by decomposition. However both undertakers noted that these types of bruises are inconsistent with ones which would have occurred due to damage from the sea or seabed and are not the right type of bruises to occur after death. (I have been told that technically bruising can't occur after death, but similar discolouration can occur)
No one disagrees that she passed away due to drowning, they do however disagree as to whether she came to harm before the drowning and if she did, was the drowning really caused by suicidal tendencies or an external force drowning her. Sky News in 2019 working with a Pathologist within the UK recognized these inconsistencies and on their own accord contacted the Crown Office to see photos from the Autopsy. What they received back brings up so many more questions than answers; the Crown Office wrote back:
‘It is not in the public interest for these photos to be released’
We’re beginning to see a clear line of action occurring, is it possible people with the power to do so are trying to cover up the truth behind her death ?
-Leaks-
Leaks are not always something which should be held to a high regard, it’s really dependent on the news network and its credibility. Here we are going to put our trust in Sky News’ as they attest to the following statement; there was DNA found on the deceased’s hands from an unknown woman. This information was never given to the family or general public, it does not prove definitively foul play as this DNA could have been picked up for an incomprehensibly large amount of benign reasons but further lends credence to at the very least the investigation was incredibly secretive
-A Second Autopsy-
A second Autopsy was requested by the family and later performed in Gothenburg, the findings of which largely agree with the initial Scottish Autopsy, that Annie died from drowning. But this autopsy disagreed as to where she drowned, this autopsy found evidence that Annie drowned in fresh water. Not in Saltwater, not in the sea. They had found a material which can only be found in Fresh Water in her lungs and no evidence of the saltwater counterpart. Yet when pressed the Swedish authorities refused to investigate any further, once again this trend of secretiveness is being presented. Here you might wonder if she drowned in a fresh water river or lake, and was carried to sea by the currents I will address this later.
The Last Sighting and Geography of The Beach
A figure was witnessed on the beach at before sun down, light was fading but it was by no means gone. Roughly around the same time at 4:00pm police say they have CCTV of Annie in the area, approximately half a mile away – although it is to be noted only screenshots have ever been shown to the family after a lengthy battle. Now this witness, Andrew was walking with a partner, and did state he could not confidently say the figure was even a woman moreover The person with whom he was walking with was never interviewed by police at all. Showing investigator both failed in their duties to properly investigate all leads and clues, and also improperly used this sighting and claimed the figure was definitely Annie despite the quoted witness being unsure and unable to even discern whether the figure was male or female.
-Geography of The Beach-
Now here we’re going to get a little specific see the deceased body was deposited at the south side of the beach. Now the beach raises slightly as you travel south and ends up quite a bit higher than the rest of the beach. This has lead locals who are aware of the beach and its movements, to question how the body ended up at this position if the beach does not naturally deposit such large things in this area. However marine experts and archivists have worked with reporters and have found that Prestwich Beach did experience a larger than normal swell the day she was found indicating it was possible the deceased body could have been deposited where it laid.
Earlier we saw that after a second autopsy there was strong evidence that she died by fresh water drowning. You might wonder if she drowned in a lake, and was carried to sea I can confirm there are no lakes in the vicinity, however there are two rivers. One to the north and one to the south, the Northern river is approximately 2km [1.2 miles] from the crime scene and the southern river is approximately 3.5 km [2.1 miles] from the crime scene. The Northern River is quite a bit a smaller than the southern and thus is not as strong of a candidate, however it is currently unexplored and unknown whether it is possible even the southern river could carry and then deposit such a large load at that location. I suspect the southern river is too far to deposit the body, however I am no such expert and cannot provide anymore analysis than this.
CCTV and Technology
It was found the time stamps between her being present in the airport and then being sighted in the Train station were non congruent, in effect she could not have travelled the distance between the train station in Prestwick and the airport in a quick enough manner for these ‘Timestamps’ to be correct. This inconsistency is baffling and I urge you to consider the amount of causes and possibilities for this to occur, such as editing of the timestamps, or the two CCTV systems being set to different times.
Furthermore Annie’s actions within the airport too are baffling to say the least. Annie entered the airport, and when reaching the concourse walked the full length of the building. Before exiting to the carpark through automatic doors. 3 minutes after leaving for the car park Annie walks back in to the airport; her mother described her as looking very angry in this moment, Annie then hesitates briefly and leaves the airport from the same direction she just came from. Rather shockingly the Police have no CCTV of Annie in the car park, so we do not know what happened; if she intended to meet someone or met someone and had a bad interaction we will never know.
Upon leaving the airport there was only 1 other sighting of Annie on CCTV in Prestwick town on station road but this sighting is disputed as the figure is very blurry. Resembling more of a tall young man carrying a bag. Despite these discrepancies Scottish Authorities once again used inconclusive evidence to build a timeline, using this sighting to map out her supposed journey from the airport to the beach.
-The Deleted Call History and Emails-
You might be thinking that technologically there may be some leads which could be gained, however archives of Annie’s phone calls in her final days and her complete Email history (both emails received and emails sent) have been mysteriously erased. We don’t know erased and we don’t if there could have been evidence in these emails.
The Boyfriend ?
Annie had gotten involved with a person who claimed to be an ex Rugby Player for the Scottish National team which she met at a nightclub in Edinburgh, the depth of this relationship is unknown but it is believed they were to an extent dating for a brief time until they cut ties because he was not who he said he was. He was an imposter, and she would not hear from him for a long time. That is until just weeks before her death he reappeared in her life, showing up at her swimming pool of all places. The last encounter Annie would have with this man would be at a Rugby Club social, this encounter unsettled Annie so much she told her friends of it, and how frightening it was. Annie also called her brother and father multiple times. The last call Annie made to them she expressed she had a feeling she was being watched and followed, in fact this call was not made from her home landline but rather a phone booth in the street as Annie expressed fear that her phone lines were being listened to and monitored.
When pressed by her parents and friends about her anxieties Annie expressed it ‘was something she would have to deal with herself’. The true identity of this man has never been found, whether or not he was the cause for such fear and it was justified is to this day unknown.
The Case For Suicide
Because we are amateur "investigators" here I will present briefly the case for suicide. I understand some will like and support this, and others will quickly brush it off. I urge you to consider it as a very strong possibility.
Annie had become withdrawn and was definitely showing some signs of depression, furthermore some of her friends in Scotland and Sweden have said she expressed depressive feelings in the days leading up to her death. Some of the complaints proposed by the undertakers can be explained away such as her missing hair, as depressed people often cut their hair or pull it out, also it may have came out due to improper storage of the deceased body after death. Finally the scrapes on her knees are very consistent with what happens to dead people who wash up on shore, as it is knees and knuckles which are most commonly damaged in this way.
The Rendition Programs
Here we will begin to delve into what seems like very obscure theories, but those who have followed me and my account for some time will know how I feel about such theories; I do not in any way support unfounded grandiose claims in fact I created a video advocating against such theories on my channel. However I am presenting this to you as it does bare some merit to be investigated. This is not my personal belief but it is included. Don't let this one absurd theory undermine the other issues in the investigation.
In 2005 the war on terror was reaching its peak, a coalition of Allies had been formed to combat terrorism and Prestwick airport was allegedly being used in the covert operation ‘Rendition’. This operation was conducted by the US and UK intelligence agencies; The CIA and Mi6. It moved captured terrorists from location to location for multiple reasons such as interrogation and potentially torture. This operation has been highly contentious and its existence has been denied by both the US and the UK to this day.
Is it possible that Annie got caught up in this? See some have suspected that the previously mentioned man who was using a false identity could have somehow been involved in this operation. Some question whether Annie had uncovered the truth about this man, which lead to her demise and her death subsequently being covered up ?
-I’d also like to interject very quickly that this man could have had no connection to any Agency and could still of had a motive. If he was just a liar and Annie found out; maybe he did murder her for just that. But some have said it’s awfully coincidental that her last day was spent at and near the functions of a potential covert operation, that she met a mysterious man who was using a stolen identity and finally that proper investigations of her death have been decline and shut down by two Governments.-

Some Random Little Ideas for the Game

A bulleted list of ideas I have, mainly pertaining to little things like atmosphere and quality of life, but some also directly effecting mechanics.
If I think of more over the next day or so I'll keep updating but eventually the post will get outdated and its not worth it anymore xd.

Things I wish I'd Known When I Started Playing MTaP

Since we have a lot of new players, I thought I'd start a list of beginner's tips. I'm looking to list things that aren't well-explained in the game, or those "Duh" moments when you find out something mid-game that would have helped you in the beginning.
Since this is mainly for new players, PLEASE NO SPOILERS!! If you're not sure if it's a spoiler or not, check the wiki. If there's a big red spoiler alert at the top of the page, it's a spoiler. If you're not sure, or you really think it's important but it's later-game, please err on the side of caution and hide it using spoiler tags. (to mark text as spoiler - surround the text with >! and !< with no spaces between the text and the characters)
Here's my top ten things I wished I had known:
And bonus "tip" for those (like me) who aren't great at minigames - when fishing, you don't have to keep pulling the fish. To catch the bigger fish, watch the red circle and when it almost fills the white circle, stop applying tension and just follow the fish until the red circle gets smaller. Then apply tension again; rinse and repeat until you land the fish.
What do you wish you had known when you started? Please share!

[Gear] Fellow Ode + SSP Multipurpose Burrs | Detailed Personal Experience and Analysis

Note: coffee would not let me post there. He doesn't believe coffee should be a place to discuss coffee. Since this review does cross over into the grinder's application for espresso I figured I would comment here. Although this post clearly fits under their sidebar as stated:
[Gear] - For equipment related posts. Mods, purchasing, new products, storage containers, etc. - no photo only posts
Edit: removed username of moderator. While it still blows my mind that they don't want quality OC in the subreddit, they don't deserve to be harassed.

Intro

Hey all - I wanted to give my review of the Fellow Ode Brew Grinder with SSP Multipurpose Burrs, and share some of what I have learned while playing and analyzing it the past week. I've read and watched a lot of vastly varied reviews, some of which I think have been unfairly critical. I also feel its important to mention I think the first production of Ode Grinders may have had more manufacturing issues than what is being sold now; a lot of reviewers seemed to have significantly better experiences the later they purchased the grinder, compared to early backers or purchasers.
Lastly, and most importantly, I am reviewing this as a $500 grinder. The SSP burrs make this a very different grinder than the stock burrs. As they should, as it nearly doubles the total price.

Background/My Needs

So early January I entered the market looking for a new coffee grinder for brew coffee. I no longer have an espresso maker after my roommate and I parted about a year back, selling him my share of our Vario and LeLit. Since then I've been using a Comadante MK3 for primarily V60, but also Aeropress, French Press and Coldbrew and everywhere from dark to light roasts (I like my brewed coffee a lot different ways). While I love my Comadante, I wanted something faster and easier to use. I've previously had no real intention of purchasing another espresso machine; while I do enjoy espresso I generally prefer the ease of brew.
Included in my setup is the Micoro Electric Kettle, Timemore Black Mirror Scale and Hario V60 Decanter.
When looking at grinders, the big 3 contenders for me around my price point were the Fellow Ode + SSP Burrs, OE's Apex Hand Brew Grinder, or another Baratza Vario. Ultimately from my research I went with the Ode + Burrs.

Countertop Appeal:

Right out of the box, this is a sexy AF grinder. I want to leave my grinder on the counter, and most of them are eyesores. I really hated looking at my Vario every day. It is ugly, simple fact. For some people, this isn't a concern. However just like people take looks into consideration when purchasing kitchen countertops, a car, or other appliances, I want my stuff to be appealing to look at; especially if it is sitting on my counter 365 days a year.

Setup:

Installing the SSP Multipurpose Burrs was breeze, following along with Fellow's burr replacement video. Some users did report that they could not get these burrs to fit, though that seemed to be mainly with early production models. I checked with Prima, and they said they had no problem returning/exchanging everything if I ran into any issues changing out the burrs. When re-calibrating, I set the Ode dial to start 1+3 clicks above burr chirp to get a bit more range, since I don't need the finest grind sizes anyway.
I spent some time with my SSP burrs and the dry erase marker over the weekend and as far as I can tell, there's no obvious uneven wear occurring when the burrs chirp. One potential difficulty with the marker method and the SSP unimodal burrs is that edges of the burr aren't perfectly flat. That is, the burrs only rub on the raised edges rather than uniformly across a smooth surface.
I started to get getting better brews with the dial set to 6,0-6,2 and a ~2:30 drawdown time. Any finer and I start to get that astringent taste/feeling. Visually the grind resembles a 24-click grind on my Comandante.
I ordered 5 lbs of unsaleable coffee planning to slowly break in the grinder while measuring particle size distributions every pound or so.

Ease of Use:

When it comes to operations, there are some quirks and a couple learning curves, but overall I've been pleased and found it to be a pretty smooth experience. Here's some of the most common quirks or issues that I have noticed, or read about online:  1.  At the beginning there were some minor retention problems that were mostly solved by using the RDT method, and waiting a couple seconds to let the static dissipate before using knocker on the side. Occasionally I would lose 0.1g, that would be knocked out the next time I used the grinder. However after getting 2-3lbs of coffee through the burrs to season them, I am left with absolutely 0 retention problems with the knocker and RDT. It definitely would be nice if the knocker took care if retention on its own, and I didn't need to rely on RTD as well, though its a very quick and easy step in the brewing process for me that I don't even really think about it.  2.  The lid to the ground coffee catcher is a bit finicky and some some users complain it doesn't always sit correctly, though I think its pretty overblown. It requires an extra 3 seconds to make sure that the lid is properly seated. Though if this is a concern, Fellow is not only is updating the lid this month on new units sold, but will also allow previous purchasers to order one at cost. Personally, I don't even know if I will do that, I find it such a non-issue.  3.  Inside the ground coffee catcher are two fins that help direct ground coffee for narrow pours, and some users complain coffee may get stuck on/behind these fins. Again, I find this to be a very non-issue as you can just pour the coffee from the other side, and tap it on the counter a couple times if anything is caught. However I find these fins to be a HUGE help when using a V60-01 or my Aeropress.  3.  There are user reports that they have had trouble with the auto-off feature. For me, the grinder will grind the beans (maybe ~4 seconds for a single dose) and then run an additional ~4 seconds before shutting off automatically. However some users have had issues with it running for 20+ seconds after the beans finished grinding unless the machine was turned off manually. This seems to be an issue more common in early production models, there are many users (like me) who've never once experienced this issue. Maybe it's more prevalent when using stock burrs as well.  4.  Some users have ran into issues with beans jamming up their burrs. Again, this is an issue that seems more prevalent in earlier models that I've never once experienced in 3lbs+ of beans through the grinder and can't really comment on.  5.  Lastly, there are some complaints about mess. This might be the most valid concern out of everything, the grinder does seem to really like throwing chaff around. However its a very minor issue with RDT and I normally drip more coffee everywhere than the grinder produces mess. I've never had a mess-free grinding experience personally.

Objective Brew Performance:

After getting comfortable with the machine and running through a couple pounds of beans for a good season, I did some Fellow Ode cuppings vs my Comandante. I tested primarily with lighter to medium roasts. The Comandante brews have more flavor but also more acidity; currently I'm enjoying the balance of clarity and flavor in the Ode+SSP brews the most. Its giving me a flavorful cup that's got acidity without being too sour, along with prominent and enjoyable flavors of fruit/nut/chocolate. If I throw a little cream (it tastes good, sue me) into a good South American coffee it's almost like I'm drinking a hot chocolate.
My eureka moment for this setup came when reading another user's SSP Burr experience (u/violin_geek123 on another forum) where they were grinding finer than me, and reporting better extractions. I'd been grinding at setting 6,2 and brewing with 94-96C water with total brewing times of 2:30-2:45. Anything finer was bitter. After his post, I switched to grinding at 4,1-5,0 and 88-90C water with 2:15-2:30 total brew times. Now, I'm brewing some of the best cups I've ever had. The flavors are clearly distinguishable with balanced sweetness and acidity. No bitterness in the cup either. While there is a little bit of muddiness in the filter clogging is not an issue, and it's not as bad as the Comandante in the 15-18 click range.

Analytical Grind Performance:

For this section, Ode grind sizes are assuming the grinder is calibrated as 1,0=1 click past chirp, which is different from my personal calibration.
Initially, I just wanted to analyze the impact the SSP Burrs vs the quality of grind of the Stock Ode. In addition, while seasoning my Ode, I graphed how the grind size distribution changes from 0lbs, to 2lbs, and finally 5lbs of coffee ground through my Ode. Lastly, I compared the grind here, here, and here to my relatively well-seasoned Comandante at 5lbs.
Measurements were done with Jonathan Gagne's app, pictures taken with a DSLR, and lens correction applied with Photoshop. Note that these densities are weighted by the grind size assuming mass proportional to volume, same as the grind size app. So it's not the number of particles of a particular size but rather the mass of the coffee found in grounds of that size. Used the same numbers/formulas as that app so these measurements aren't without their caveats. However I think the relative comparisons are still useful.
I try to avoid reading into the graphs too much, since it's not clear if observed differences are actual differences, or just a variation in how things are being measured. In addition to randomness of grinds, there are issues like humidity/static, camera angle, settling of grinds, all things I'm not really controlling for. It'd probably help if I were to do multiple replicates but that would take a lot of time. The biggest take-away from this would be how comparable, and possible even better, the Ode seems to perform @ 5,0 than the Comandante @ 15 clicks, which is a medium-fine to fine grind size. This is a huge difference from Ode's stock burrs. My take is that relative comparisons of grind distributions are meaningful but don't place too much stock in the absolute sizes. There are some approximations that go into calculating diameter, however, it's consistent with grind surface area in pixels. That's why I decided to include the Comandante grinds. I've heard that each click = 30 microns so I guess 15 clicks ~ 450 microns.
What I find a bit weird about this is that the Ode @ 7,2 brews similar to Comandante @ 24 but those grind sizes are clearly different. If the Comandante has far fewer fines I can see how you'd get similabetter extractions at smaller grind sizes without astringency but the data doesn't make it seem like the Comandante's doing significantly better in that regard. It also seems like the Ode is a bit more uniform at smaller grind sizes, but the Comandante's better as you go bigger. Qualitatively the grounds seem this way too.

Espresso

While I initially hadn't really thought I was going to be able to produce the fine grind needed for espresso, it's become very apparent it is definitely possible though with two main caveats. The first being it is still a step grinder, and it's going to be more difficult to dial it in the the perfect grind size for espresso. I have no doubt that you'd be able to produce some great shots with a halfway decent espresso machine, though a dedicated espresso grinder is almost always going to perform better. The second caveat is that even though the burrs can produce an espresso grind, there's no real way of knowing how the motor will hold up. While I wouldn't want to use the Ode to grind espresso shots daily, I believe it'll work great for the occasional espresso.
u/violin_geek123 may be able to test it out if he is around.

Overall

Stock Ode: The stock Ode produces a larger proportion of bigger particles, not to mention 1,0 on the stock Ode is already pretty coarse relative to what you get out of other grinders. Presumably this led to quick draw-down times and mediocre cups. My brews always either tasted under-extracted (weak, subtle flavors missing, fruity/floral flavors in particular) or over-extracted (drying out the mouth). I didn't want to mess with the Stock Ode too much, just enough to get an understanding of the grinder's performance compared to the SSP burrs. Were the cups OK? Sure, but noticeably inferior to the Ode+SSP or Comandante brews. I don't think I'd be happy with just a stock Ode given how I prefer to make my coffee.
Versus Comandante: As mentioned above, the Comandante produces more fines than the Ode+SSP. While I enjoy the coffee (brewed similar to above, between 15-20 clicks) it has a slight woody bitterness to its flavor. It's not a bad cup though. It's just that the Ode+SSP brews are noticeably better in a side-by-side comparison.
Is it a $500 grinder? Absolutely. While I couldn't compare the Ode Fellow directly to OE's Apex or Baratza's Vario, I am confident that it holds up against the two. The Apex will definitely make a better brew grind than the Ode+SSP, Prima even compares the Apex's quality to the EK43! However, it's still a manual grinder with quirks and issues of its own that will never be able to produce shots fine enough for espresso, Moka pot, or even some Aeropress recipes. When comparing the Ode to my experiences with the Vario, I'd give the Ode+SSP a definite edge if your focus is brewed coffee. If you think you'll want to make more than a couple espresso shots a week, I'd probably recommend the Vario. However I have so far enjoyed my V60s more coming from the Ode than my old Vario, with the added benefit of it's countertop appeal.

Galactic Economics 5: Simple Problem

RoyalRoad
First
Previous
Next
From the feedback from the past couple chapters, it seems like the writing on the plot development / on the ground perspective of the story needs a bit more, so the next couple chapters will be focused on that. The more technical parts of the story will return after.
Again, I'm a new writer trying to improve. As always, feedback about the story or my writing are all very welcome, and I read every one of them.
The Galactic Trader Guild is a mistranslation.
Guilds generally imply exclusivity. Non guild members would be barred from working in areas where the guild controls. In human medieval times, they would be given legal authority to make you stop, or maybe something bad might happen to your business over which the guild claims no responsibility for, wink.
The Galactic Trader Guild was more like an association of beings who have a gentlebeing's agreement not to be dicks to each other. This agreement was loosely followed. Anyone who had a spaceship is automatically considered by others to be part of this "guild".
Since this association was loose, there were no regular guild fees or union dues. Instead, the leaders of the association went around in armed spacecrafts and demanded goods from random hardworking traders they found across the galaxy. They were supposed to collect these to fund the operations of the Trader Guild. In practice, they just fed themselves with most of it.
Since there was little revenue, the Guild had few responsibilities. Most of the duties that they had were ceremonial.
Their most vital, non-ceremonial responsibilities were to welcome new worlds into the galactic community and to set standards and define protocols.
They also had a list of guidelines for traders: don't kill each other, don't hurt each other, don't cheat each other. These guidelines were somewhat followed. It was in their best interests to be civil. Spacecraft owners were rich, after all. Ships were incredibly expensive to build and the accumulation of generations of wealth; throwing them away for some nasty dispute just seemed wasteful to any sensible being.
The Guild's work and traditions were mostly maintained by leaders of a species of humanoids with green scaly heads and two eyes on top called the Ribbiths, who were the first to mount guns on their spacecraft and made sure nobody else did. Earthers call them frogheads. They met once every roughly 13 days, or 1 Ribb cycle, for the sacred duty of reminding the galaxy how utterly worthless they were as an organization.
In today's meeting, they expressed their utmost sympathy to the People of Gakrek, and wished them the best in fixing their problem. That is, that millions of Gaks were dying by the day to starvation.
A resolution was introduced by a member world, the representative from Gak, to force traders to ferry food from planets with food surplus to Gak. Vetoed.
A resolution was introduced by a member world, the representative from Earth, to call for levy of a "tax" from member worlds to relieve the Great Famine of Gak. Vetoed.
A resolution was introduced by a member world, the representative from Earth, to call for food aid donations from member worlds to relieve the Great Famine of Gak. Vetoed.
A resolution was introduced by a member world, the representative from Earth, to call fo-
"Seriously?" Bellowed the big froghead who took his pointless job a bit too seriously, "the Galactic Trader Guild has no authority to call for anything from member worlds! Would the representative from the planet Dirt please sit down!"
He pounded his gavel.
"This resolution is vetoed!"
"That was stupid," Sarah fumed, "another useless institution we have to fix."
Now that she had more virtual wealth and actual power than some if not most governments on Earth, Stearns had been making her read books on economics and government. One of the big themes is the importance of strong institutions.
They didn't have to be governmental or even have a strong enforcement arm, but there must be clear and fair rules to the way people do things.
Obviously, the rest of the galaxy didn't get the memo.
"If you ignore their bi-weekly group therapy session on Galactic-SPAN, they do have some important work," moderated Jen, "for example, they gave us the blueprints for how to build standard spaceports and all that."
"That is true, but I can't imagine the other alien worlds thinking much better of them than Sarah right now. When the time comes, we would probably advocate the creation of a stronger institution with far more teeth than they do, and fold their responsibilities into that new organization," says Stearns, drawing on examples from Earth's past.
"Ok, but for now, we've got a gazillion hungry Gaks to feed."
When the aliens had first landed, the first thing Earth's governments did was to buy their spaceships from them.
It wasn't exactly hard once they figured out the truth about the galaxy. These governments simply offered them a middle class lifestyle in a developed country, an unimaginable improvement on the destitution and poverty of the average galactic species. Most of them were skeptical, thinking they were being shown something along the lines of Potemkin villages.
A few did sell their ships, and got to see the truth for themselves.
NASA, in collaboration with other space agencies, had made several improvements to their new generation spacecraft based off of alien designs. Within a year, what they created was already mostly equivalent in performance specs to the average alien trader craft, but far more comfortable. It had luxuries like entertainment systems, digital controls, and reclining seats, things that were only found in high end government laboratories on other advanced planets.
Countries that previously didn't make investments into space were now building spaceports. Most major cities were building new spaceports dedicated to suborbital space travel. And humanity was spreading out into the stars.
Through a little bit of special interest lobbying and a large chest of money, Galactic Credit had managed to procure a small fleet of NASA's new galactic ranged spacecrafts. Most were still under construction, but one early prototype had made its way into GC's storage in Livermore Spaceport.
YOU ARE NOW LEAVING EARTH
This was a sign at the security gates right outside Livermore Spaceport. It was mostly supposed to be humorous, but it took on a different meaning for some people today.
Sarah, Dr. Stearns, Benny Jr, a civilian expert by the name of Gideon, and a couple of space-rated Special Forces guardians strapped themselves to their seats in preparation for launch.
"These look quite different from what I remembered from watching live Space Shuttle launches back in the day," Stearns remarked.
"Hah, you're not that old, are you?" Benny Jr asked incredulously, "no way, you are. When did the Space Shuttles retire? The 2000s?" He put on his best "wow I'm talking to someone out of a history book" impression.
"Thanks for that," Stearns chuckled, "I hear space removes a few years from your life."
"No sir, the stress on your body actually adds years," it was one of the guardians, whose name tag said Jackson. He added casually, "and don't let anyone tell you otherwise."
"Aww don’t ruin our fantasies," Sarah chided mockingly, "you been to space a few times... Jackson?"
"3 tours of 2 months each, not counting Dagobah," he replied, grinning thinly, referencing the nickname of the famous Space Force training base on Ceres that looked absolutely nothing like the sci-fi swamp planet it was named for.
"Seen any action?" Benny Jr asked, eager to hear war stories.
"Only Afghanistan, Syria, and Somalia," Jackson replied, and then pointing at another guardian across from him, "Reese there was in charge of crowd control on our embassy on Olgix a couple months back at the start of the Gakrek Famine."
There was a relatively large Gak refugee community on Olgix due to its proximity, one where the Gak community blamed both the humans and the Olgs for the devastating famine on Gakrek.
An angry crowd had broken through the gates, and guardians narrowly avoided having to fire on the crowd when the Olgix police arrived, who proceeded to do exactly that with their rifles.
"Yeah that was ugly," Reese grunted, "the Olg police just went wild. We had to park an armored carrier in front of them to get them to stop shooting."
"What ended up happening?"
"To the Olgs or the Gaks? Every other week, one of them shoots up a school or bombs a police station on the other side of town. There's only so many ways you can make people you hate go splat or boom, and the aliens... turns out they're exactly like us."
The takeoff was gentle. 1.5 Gs of acceleration. No special training was needed. You could technically sit up if you wanted to, though it wasn't recommended.
Once in orbit, the pilot's voice came over the intercom "we are blinking in 3… 2… 1..."
Nothing happened from the perspective of the passengers, other than the external view monitors now showing an entirely different planet where Earth was a second ago.
Gakrek looks like a massive disaster zone even from space. It reminded Sarah of a satellite photo of an out of control Australian wildfire.
"What a shitshow," Benny Jr stared in wonder and disgust.
"Yeah, that's one of the less mentioned things that happens in a famine. Everything stops working and starts going up in flames," said the disaster management expert, Gideon, "nobody has time to fight fires or keep the dams working when they're starving."
"Look at that," he pointed at a patch of brown continent on the monitor, "that used to all be green fields worked by subsistence Gak farmers. And that," he said pointing at what looked like a large inland lake, "lowlands where levees built thousands of years ago were supposed to keep all that water out, those are supposed to be farmland too. This planet used to look like Earth."
"They wouldn't be like that if there were any harvestable food remaining. I think it's safe to say our models were right. They aren't rebuilding all those farms within one or two years. We'll have to see them for ourselves on the ground, but my takeaway right now is that the only chance they have is food from offworld."
There were no hungry mobs to greet them when they landed. They had landed in the diplomatic and VIP section of the spaceport, where guards had kept the hungry Gaks out. Sarah watched as the cargo of their spacecraft unloaded bags of high calorie density food bars.
No empty space in the cargo hold was left unoccupied.
"Gak adults can survive on less than 300 calories a day. Two of these bars will last them a week," Gideon remarked looking at the nut bars being unloaded and glancing at the mob of hungry Gaks being kept out by the guards, "if these are distributed evenly, this is enough for 2,500 Gaks to survive a year. But they won't be."
"Yup. If we're lucky, the security guards will take a couple bags out front, toss them into the crowd," Stearns sighed, "and the remaining ten tons or so will be disappeared into their own caches of food, which if we're even more lucky, they'll trade some on the side to the hungry crowds for more valuables and heirlooms."
"Why don't we distribute it ourselves?" Sarah asked.
"We wouldn't be able to guarantee your safety-" said Jackson, alarmed.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of the teddy bears," Sarah pointed, "they look like twigs. They can barely stand. Come help me operate the forklift."
They weren't rushed by the mob. The hungry Gaks were too tired to be rushing anyone, and many of them had seen what happened to the stampede the other day.
They lined up, were given a handful of food bars, and fed themselves.
The stench was awful. It was like the poor creatures were literally rotting away.
Luckily, there was enough for everyone at the port that day. At the end of the day, they left the surplus to the guards.
As they handed out the food bars, they occasionally glanced over at the empty landing pads a short distance away.
Not a single trader had come in that day.
"Gak has a short term problem and a long term problem," Sarah reported over FTL video comms to Livermore HQ. Gakrek has a 28 hour cycle, and today, night at the main spaceport was the middle of the day in California, "the short term problem is emergency aid and provisions. They need to get food now. This isn't an economic or academic problem. It's a simple logistics problem. We just need to send them food and our own people to set up distribution channels. As we expected, this isn't an expensive problem to solve, and their government has finally agreed to allow us to bring in our people and food."
"The longer term problem is that their agriculture is, in one word, screwed. They won't be able to build back up in time for the next two harvests. Until that happens, aid will need to constantly be provided. And even if that aid continues, they'll just get back to where they were before, until another bad harvest year comes along and we get the Great Famine two point oh. In the long term, we should be thinking about how to send them money rather than food forever."
"But we'll discuss how to solve the long term problem later. For now, just coordinate with industry and NGOs to get relief packages and volunteer aid workers sent to their closest spaceports. Join the Red Cross, see the galaxy, feed the aliens. Something like that."
"Our own spacelift capabilities are limited, but we can pay traders to deliver our people and the food to Gakrek. Set a price above cost and don't haggle. Call every spaceport, prioritize relief deliveries until the crisis is over. The guys trying to peddle space fridges can wait in orbit a few days longer."
"Let's show these aliens what humanitarianism looks like."
Hatches open. The air of Gakrek rushed into the hulls of the spaceship and the noses of their crews. The entire planet smelled like rotting, dead-
"UNLOAD YOUR CARGO AND STEP AWAY FROM THE ROCKETS! TWO MINUTES!"
Men and women rushed out of their spacecraft, dragging pallets of food supplies. There were everything from boxes of MREs and nutrient bars to sacks of potatoes or rice.
"NINETY SECONDS!"
One of the spacecraft had already finished unloading. Its crew of four sprinted over to the next rocket, helping their workers toss bags of rice out the front into the back of a waiting Toyota pickup that was sent in a previous delivery.
"SIXTY SECONDS GO GO GO!"
Ramps were withdrawn. Hatches were sealed. A line of a dozen rocket fumes appeared in the sky above them. It was the next shift coming in to land.
"THIRTY SECONDS GET TO A SAFE DISTANCE!"
The trucks sped away from the rockets towards the marked safe distance red line, with the aid workers sitting in the back or hanging onto the side. On their way to the hastily setup briefing tent, they passed by 4 empty trucks driving full speed towards the launchpad, cheering them as they went.
Without pomp or ceremony, the outgoing spacecraft lifted off. They vectored away from the incoming ones, which immediately started their final stages of descent. The next crew landed on the concrete pads, no more than three minutes after the previous one had.
The space traffic control crew chief looked around. If any of her people were tiring, they didn't show it. She let out a sigh of relief, and then refilled her lungs:
"UNLOAD YOUR CARGO AND STEP AWAY FROM THE ROCKETS! TWO MINUTES!"
Gordorker woke up to a loud rhythmic almost-buzzing noise outside.
It was a helicopter. He'd seen one at the spaceport before, years ago.
"Attention! Attention!"
He knew it could fly, but he hadn't seen it fly. And he certainly didn't know it could make voices come out of it.
"All heads of household: report to the nearest town center, school, or market as soon as possible for food distribution."
It was the voice of an old authoritative Gak, one who commands respect.
"Attention! Attention!"
Gak volunteers efficiently handed out information packets to each of the 50 or so human newcomers to the planet.
Gideon had been briefing for so long he could do the entire thing in his sleep. He wanted to just record the spiel, but he knew from experience that having people hear a real authority speak in person with confidence was important for morale, even if his voice was beginning to crack.
"Your area of responsibility is marked on your satellite map. Town centers, schools, local markets are marked. We've set up a temporary GPS constellation over the planet and we should have full coverage in our entire service area. If you get lost, call it in."
"We've appropriated a small number of indigenous motorized vehicles combined with the ones we brought in. Collect your vehicle at the makeshift parking lot marked on the map."
"I see some of you brought your own universal translators. Each crew needs one. There are spares on the table right outside."
"Read your local customs guide pamphlet on the way."
"Once you get to your destination, unload your cargo. We've estimated the remaining population of each village and town based on the satellite images we took last night. Ask the local officials how many people they are responsible for. They will exaggerate. They may lie to you. Give them the supplies they ask for anyway and move on. If you run out of supplies, call it in. We will send a new convoy after you."
"When you have completed your route, come back here and receive another map."
Goha was starving and alone.
She had been staying alive on tree bark for weeks. She remembered being a little Gak and her grandparents telling her the story of how they survived on grass, soil, and bark for survival one bad year. This year, the grass had withered because of the drought, and the soil became dust. That left the bark.
Some trees were also starting to die off too, but for the ones left, their bark contained a small amount of calories, just enough to keep her limbs going. She would scrape them off with a small dagger, cut them into small pieces, and cook them in water. After a while, they would be soft enough to almost not hurt her teeth when she chewed. She tried to ignore the grumbling in her stomach as it tried to digest the unappetizing chunks.
She had just finished her unsatisfying meal of cooked bark soup when she heard a sharp, distinct snap of a twig in the forest.
"Who's there," she asked feebly into the wind, pulling her dagger in front of her for protection. She didn't have many possessions, just a few makeshift tools she was using to cook with and a sheet of tarp, generously speaking, that she slept on at night to keep her back warm, but in the great hunger, people have been killed for less.
There was no reply. Just the dry howl of the wind.
She waited. Still nothing.
She pulled her tattered clothes closer to herself and settled down next to her campfire, alert, scared. There should be no animals left in the area; the last one she saw had starved to death months ago.
After a while though, she got tired. It was all just very tiring, and she hadn't had much to eat. Her eyelids drooped, and she fell asleep.
On his way to the town center, Gordorker finally had the courage to check on his neighbors.
He didn't need to step into their house to know what had happened to them. He could smell it from outside their property.
As is custom, he stripped the corpses of Gyuotin and Gyuovin, and burnt their rotting corpses in a makeshift pyre.
It was almost noon. Gordorker ate the last piece of carrot he had packed for the journey, and started heading towards the town center.
The broadcast had said there might be food at the town center but given what he'd seen at the markets, he was not sure how they could be right.
As a Gak farmer, it was healthy not to have high expectations.
When Goha came to, the sun was already up. She must have slept for a while. As she groggily woke from her sleep, she heard voices right next to her.
That woke her up in a hurry. She stood up, looking for her knife, and then immediately tripped and fell onto the ground. Looking down at her legs, there were rope bindings secured around her ankles.
"Ah, you've finally woken up," a voice said over her as she whimpered.
She looked up. There were two big male Gaks standing over her. One of them was inspecting her dagger, "looking for this?"
"Please… I don't have any food," she begged, hoping they'd at least let her keep the only thing that was keeping her alive.
"Now, now, that's just clearly not true," the one who had her knife said, with a scary glint in his eye.
She noticed that one of his eyelids was twitching. She tried to recall why that was important but her brain was not cooperating. It chose today of all days to go on strike without the nutrition it had needed.
They tied her up to a tree. She struggled, but not very much. She was so very tired of... everything.
Then they started a fire. She wondered why. It was not very cold, and they did not seem to have any food either. In her fatigue, Goha managed to stay conscious and moaned out, "what are you doing? Did you find some food?"
As they started boiling a pot of water, it barely registered to Goha that they were using one of her pots. Over her campfire. One of them said, "sure thing, darling. We've got some right here, just wait a little."
She looked around more and her nose twitched. The promise of food overrode all of her other priorities. What did they mean? They clearly had nothing on them other than what they had taken from her as she slept.
That was when it hit her.
She was the food.
Out of fight and struggle, she closed her eyes and waited to die.
The roads were bad.
They've been built to last, but they were first built thousands of years ago, at least.
The satellite map doesn't quite show how terrible the conditions of what can charitably be called mud paths were. Their Gak driver, Grob, was used to these paths, and he seemed to need full concentration to navigate them, so they left him mostly alone.
Gary and Louisa sat on the back of a local equivalent of an old pickup. If it had a functioning suspension system, it didn't show. Luckily the bags of filled rice they were both sitting on dulled the jolt of pain they felt every time it hit a bump or a fallen tree branch.
Gary brought his own translator, but it was unnecessary to communicate with Louisa, who could speak English with barely an accent.
Louisa was 19, from Munich, Germany. She was studying xenomorphology and wanted to become an alien doctor.
Bump.
Gary was 21, from Seattle. This wasn't the first time he's been out of the US. He'd been to Canada. Twice.
Bump.
Louisa loves the great outdoors too and wanted to see the Kheton mountains of Yis'meh one day.
Bump
Gary goes backpack camping near North Bend on weekends. He loves eating dried apricots around a campfire.
Bump.
Louisa was single and-
"Wait a second. Stop the car!" Gary called out to the driver. Louisa was mortified for a second until she saw what he was pointing at.
There was a single trail of smoke in the distance. Following it, they saw a clearing through some trees and there were some figures moving around it.
"Do we have any distribution centers in this area?" Louisa asked.
"Not on my map," Gary replied, "nor are any of our teams coming this way. Let's go check it out."
Gary, Louisa, and Grob approached the clearing with a small bag of potatoes. There were two Gaks, and they were heating up a pot of water.
At least they've had some food to eat, thought Louisa, maybe these guys hunted themselves some local equivalent of a deer or something.
"Hey friends, is there a village nearby?" Gary asked, "we've got some food to give out."
At the sound of his words, they looked up at him pitifully but seemed dumbfounded. As the trio approached the campfire from the other side, they noticed that there was nothing in their pots. Puzzled, Gary started to form a question.
That was when they heard a whimper from across the hearing behind a tree. It was a high pitched female Gak voice, far away enough that even Grob's sensitive ears couldn't make out what she was saying, so he started to walk over and see what was going on.
On the other hand, Gary's translator got more than enough to pick words out of the noise and blurted out in loud, robotic monotone into his left ear, "help… me…"
Gary figured it out a second before Louisa did. The male Gak wielding the knife in front of him saw his expression change, alien as it was to him, and knew the jig was up. He clutched his dagger and approached Gary.
Gary did not have much on him. The Red Cross volunteers weren't sent out with guns, just radios and food. However, unlike the Gaks, he had been fed a healthy human diet of two thousand calories every day for the past 21 years.
Neither of the cannibal Gaks had eaten anything for weeks. There was a reason they waited until Goha was asleep to tie her up.
Louisa screamed. With that distraction, Gary swung the potato bag he had in his left hand, and slugged the menacing alien scum right in the head.
The alien saw the potato bag come for his head, attempted to raise his knife arm, and then he saw nothing and dropped unconscious to the ground.
The other cannibal did not resist. Grob watched the pair very carefully, brandishing Goha's captured dagger at them as Gary untied its owner from the tree and Louisa checked her vitals. Thankfully, she was still alive, drifting in and out of consciousness deliriously.
They cooked potato soup, and fed her back to life. They made sure not to go too fast, as they'd learn in their training to prevent re-feeding.
Gary called the incident in over the radio. The reply was professional and practiced, "there have been many reports of cannibalism all over the planet. Our job here is not to enforce the local laws. You can recognize many of them by a neurodegenerative twitch in their eyelids. Stay safe, and feed everyone you can within reason."
After a bit of discussion, they decided that meant the cannibals were to be fed too. The pair weren't sure why they were left alive, but they speechlessly took the two standard sized ration bags that Louisa offered them, and then slipped off into the woods as soon as Grob allowed them to leave. The humans didn't have the tools and time to keep them tied up anyway.
Goha wasn't nearly as strong and didn't seem to have anywhere else to go. They wrapped up her belongings in her tarp, and carried her with them onto the next stop on the back of the truck. Goha started to thank them, but couldn't seem to find the right words. Louisa nodded knowingly, kindly even, if not pitifully and patted her on the head. There was nothing that needed to be said.
The next stop turned out to be a school building with a couple dozen young Gaks, some even as old as them. After Louisa and Gary handed out the relief aid to the incredulous Gaks who had been wasting away at the schoolhouse, they took Goha in too. Maybe charity was contagious after all.
At this point, it was too dark to move on to their next map location, so the locals offered them a nice flat spot where the volunteers could put up their tents and start a fire. Two of them even offered to stand guard over them, in case there were any other rogue Gaks in the area.
Fifty plus light years away, a digital map on the conference room screen showed the coverage of aid distribution. Gakrek was divided into sectors:
Red meant no aid coverage.
Purple meant some aid has been distributed and efforts are ongoing.
Blue meant aid has been distributed completely.
There was a smattering but growing amount of blue. Most of the map was purple. There was almost no red left on the map, mostly concentrated in the heavily flooded and rural areas.
There was another map on the screen: Earth was divided into areas around each spaceport.
Red meant they were out of relief aid for delivery.
Purple meant they were expected to run out in short order and needed to ask for more donations.
Blue meant there was plenty left to send.
This map was all blue.
It stayed blue.
Louisa liked Gary, and she thought he might feel the same way she did too.
Feelings were running wild and raw after the "skirmish" with the cannibals. At first, she'd told herself, a famine relief mission was not the best place to look for these kinds of relationships.
And that was what she kept telling herself until Louisa found herself clutching his hand next to a crackling campfire, while they both gazed up into the unfamiliar constellations of an alien night sky.
Stearns getting Sarah to read about institutions early on in the chapter is a reference to the popular political economics book Why Nations Fail by Daron Acemoglu. It presents the theory that institutions, rather than geography, is the primary driver of economic destiny. This story takes no position on this contentious debate, but one thing is clear: the Galactic Trader Guild is undoubtedly a malignantly extractive institution.

Factorio Community Map - January-February 2021

What is this?
The idea behind the monthly community map is to share a map exchange string at the beginning of every month, and get as many people as we can to start a new world with it. Then at the end of the month (or even periodically if you'd prefer!) we share screenshots and saves of our factories so that we can see how different people approach the same spawn; how they set up their base, how they deal with aliens, and how they arrange their science, power, and everything else.
I hope it can highlight how many different ways there are to do things, inspire some new designs, and maybe seeing how veteran Factorio players tackle problems will help out new players facing the exact same problems. (Of course, there's also the fact that it'll just be plain cool to see all of the different possible factories - the good, the bad, and the ugly.)
Last Month's Results
December 2020 Results
The Community Map
The towering list of mods some wait all year long for has finally made it's annual return! Bob's and Angel's - what's there left to say? It's like playing a brand new game; if that brand new game was just like Factorio cranked up to 11. There are even a few newcomers this time around, on both the Bob's and Angel's side of things, so I'm excited to see how they play together (and crossing my fingers that I haven't unwittingly created a mix of mods that breaks the game in some way >_>).
If you're a veteran Bob's/Angel's player, the following wall of mods should be no surprise to you. If this is you're first map, well, buckle up. You're in for a ride. (A save file is provided below so that you can download it and simply sync your mods rather than downloading all of these individually.)

No better way to bring in the new year than the conquering and subsequent utilization of an entire continent. Remember to spread out your builds, they're going to grow a lot. Good luck!
Exchange String Help
If anyone isn't sure how to use an exchange string, just go to new game like you're going to generate a new world, and at the bottom there's a button just above play labelled "Import map exchange string" - the icon looks like a little arrow going into a tray/bucket. Just copy the exchange string above and paste it into the box that comes up when you press that button. Press confirm, and that's it! You're good to go. Just generate the world and come back in a month to show us how your factory turned out!
If you run into any issues check to make sure that you copied the whole string, including the three greater than/lesser than signs at the beginning and end, and make sure that your Factorio is up to date with the most recent version installed. (As of the time of this post, the most recent version of Factorio is 1.1.6.)
Issues With Adding The Save File
If you're uncertain how to use the save file I provided above, here are step by step instructions:
1) First, of course, is to actually download the file. Make sure you know where this file is so you can move it later. (It will be in your browser's default download folder unless you've changed it.) 2) Locate where Factorio's save folder is on your computer. If you've installed Factorio at its default location ( C:\Program Files\Factorio ) then there will be a shortcut to your saves folder there called "saves". Double-click it to go to the saves folder. 3) Take the file you downloaded and move it into this folder.
That should be it! Now just launch Factorio and make sure you sync your mods to this save before playing. If you have any issues, feel free to ask in the comments below, or in the monthly map's channel on the official Factorio discord.
Want To Play With Others?
If you have an open public server, let me know in the comments below or send me a PM and I'll add your server here!
Galapagon returns with yet another multiplayer server! Show him some appreciation, and check out his comment below for the details.
Want To Watch Someone Else?
If you are a streamer or let's player who will be recording yourself building a new factory on a community map, I'd be happy to add a link to your channel here!
About Mods
Since mods can affect how a world spawns and ores are distributed, as well as add or change items and functionality, it's important to make sure that we're all playing the same game by the same rules. For example, if one person's playing vanilla and someone else is playing with Bob's mods, even if they use the same seed and map settings you still couldn't very well say they were playing the same game, and the way they'd play would differ enormously.
On the other hand, playing with mods that either don't add any new items or change terrain, or that simply don't change the base game in a significant way, aren't going to change the way you solve problems or the kinds of problems you'll face themselves. As such, these sorts of mods are perfectly fine, even if some people are playing with them and some people aren't.
Even Distribution is a wonderful example of a mod that, while very useful, does not inherently change the way the game is played. Then there are also mods like RadarPlus for RSO that do add new items, but still don't really change the way the game is played.
I've decided to put together a list of these optional mods that I think are ok to use on any map below. The list is by no means comprehensive; it simply serves as an example of the sorts of mods that should be fine.
Optional Mods
Note: I can't imagine any situation where this could be an issue, but if you're the author of one of the mods listed here (and can offer me some proof of this) and for whatever reason would like me to remove your mod from this post, I'd be happy to comply.
It's entirely possible some of these mods either don't work with the current version of Factorio, conflict with each other, or in some manner just don't work. I can't test them all, let alone every configuration of them, so you might wanna back up your world before adding one of these.
