By contrast, when using a modern format like WEBP or AVIF, a single encoder configuration produces decent looking results across a variety of input images.

A typed array (e.g. by having a required single byte marker at the start of each string), or even nested structures similar to s-expressions would have avoided this.

That sounds scary, since forked RNG states can lead to catastrophic failures in UUID generators or cryptography.

Using a main bus where your factory is built in comb like rows on one side (so you can make the bus wider on the other side) is simple and will work pretty well for the starter base (i.e until you fire your first rocket and "win" the game).

I often split my starter factory in 4 quadrants with sufficient space for belts between them:

1. Smelters

2. Main bus based factory

3. Oil processing

4. Personal fabrication and mall (especially once logistic bots become available)

Is the fraction of the 5h quote consumed consistent with the fraction of the weekly quota consumed?

I heard there is a usage tracking tool you can install that tells you if tokens are more or less expensive at the current time.
