and then links this mod in his mod's FAQ.
Thanks for the plug! I wouldn't mind seeing that mention in the main Information page as well (and perhaps with some more neutral language?) for better visibility, but the shout-out is appreciated nonetheless.
Anyways, it's true that everyone has a different sense of humor; even I find some parts of the original mod to be somewhat amusing, though they don't all fit with my ideal vision of Factorio (hence why this mod was created). No need to call out the original mod author for their sense of humor, when you can just appreciate the fact that an alternative exists. That's just part of the beauty of modding.
So let's not use this thread to bash on the original mod author's vision, which I fully respect, thanks.
