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 🤷♀️
Factorio/TTD player spotted.
Or civ 3 player. Railroads made movent cost zero and we’re op on the pangea map
Not worth risking, being on same continent as americans.
All of that would have been Mongolia long before European colonizers ever got a chance to genocide the new world natives.
An alternate history of the world if it was still pangea would be a wild book.
Statistically it’s much more likely to get invaded if you are on a different continent from them.
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…
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).
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.
So what you’re saying is, we have a chance?
That’s exactly what I’m saying
Imagine how much parking there could be. There would be practically no constraint on parking lot size.
. # Pave Pangea.
A sea of asphalt dotted with box stores and “luxury apartments” that are more parking space than living area.
Don’t it always seem to go
We could all have our own massive driveways for our giant trucks!
Conservatives: “See??? Why on EARTH should we invest in rail now when it’s just going to be broken up by continental drift in 200 million years? It’s woke liberal tax and spend waste!”
Suddenly I want a Pangea Factorio map.
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.
The factory needs more land
depends. is america building it? thered be 2 lines
America wouldn’t exist in Pangea. There wouldn’t be any undiscovered lands to act as The Man in The High Castle
If you just wait for another geological age we will build hyper-gea, I promise.
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
2 lines of different sizes
And not one of each size either. Each having both gauges and several points where you have to switch trains because of a gauge change
In some millon of years we have it again.
it was a simpler time
Being landlocked would suck.
Rail network?! That’s commie talk. Real patriots would have an interconnected highway system.
just 1 more lane bro, we’re gonna solve traffic dude just add 1 more lane
Think of all the mega parking lots this bad boy could fit!
Hell yeah! I love a good mega parking lot!
The factory must grow. Only took me 7,000 hours to start using trains.
i think during Pangea, the center of the land was a big ass desert, and a very dry one, the network would probably look like a doughnut
Like Australia?
Like a smaller Australia, yes.
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
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
did they ever answer who the mama was?
Sounds like hell for Sir Mix-a-lot.
Are you just saying that because the center appears to be the Arabian and Sahara deserts?
Need me a Pangea openttd map
OpenTTD in the wild.
Who wants to live that close to the US?
So much easier to war!
WW2 would be a different story…
