I am wondering what made you think of this idea, its weird, yet makes sense in a way only someone with a cractorio addiction who stayed up all night would understand.
I was watching Dosh and CodeGreen doing their playthrough of the Walkaround mod, and at one point they were talking about a new iron mine and neither of them had been paying attention to setting it up - which made me think of the game with the similar name and the idea for the mod.
