Disclaimer

This is a joke. Don't take it so seriously.

Q&A:

What?

Changes the name of the Enrichment Process to something more neutral: Nuclear transformation process.

The rationale for this name change is that the Uranium processing recipe is analogous to real uranium enrichment, which is any process that separate U-235 and U-238, exactly like Uranium processing. The ratio of naturally occurring U-235 to U-238 in real-life uranium ore is also about 0.07% to 99.93%.

There is no real-world analogue to turning U-238 into U-235. Would be cool if there was, though.

Why?

In lieu of the recent controversy with the developers, I'd like not to have the names of alleged reactionary bigots appear in my game.

Controversy?

Michal Kovařík publicly endorsed Robert C. Martin.

MK was asked politely to just add to his endorsement, that he endorsed RCM's views on software development, rather than RCM's views on feminism and race. He did not. He proceeded to argue about cancel culture and social justice warriors and other such concepts.

If this seems reasonable to you, either you are not the target audience of this mod, or you don't know what a dog whistle is in the world of in political discourse.

Isn't this toxic?

No. It's a token gesture.

I don't like this mod

Don't install it.

Can you please take this down?

Sorry, unless you can point out how I am violating the rules of the modding forum, I am not going to.

Can I argue with you about politics in the discussions?

Please keep the discussions topical and free of politics: I'm open to improvements to the mod, possible bugs, collisions with other mods, etc. The usual.

I'm going to do it anyway

I will lock your thread and trash it.

That's petty

You're the one who thinks arguing about politics belongs in a mod discussion.

I'm going to keep making threads until you debate me!

I don't have to do anything. If you keep making threads, that's basically harassment.

Why are you so butthurt?

Says you, who keeps making threads in the discussions asking me about politics instead of the content of the mod.

Every minute of your day spent reading this document and getting angry about it, is your loss: I'm just joking, why are you mad? Live a little! Laugh.

You are a bad person for making this mod

Why am I the one getting flak when the Hatsune Miku Enrichment Process mod exists?

You will have to answer for your actions

Take it up with the moderators, I am not breaking any rules.

Games shouldn't be political

If certain things seem apolitical to you, that just means they are political in a way you agree with.

Factorio isn't a political game

Yes it is. Factorio has a narrative. Narratives carry messages. Messages are political by definition. If you think Factorio has no politics in it, you are mistaken.

Modding communities shouldn't be political

Modding is inherently a political act. Always has been, in every context.

Can you please keep politics out of the Factorio modding community?

What politics? This is a joke mod. Why are you taking it so seriously?

This isn't furthering your cause

I'll be the judge of what does and does not further my cause.

Why do you have to be so confrontational?

When law becomes unjust, resistance becomes duty.
