I would love to see ~ "Factorio - 524 RPM base, trains only no drones" on a resume

Or heck, even completing either Angels or SpaceEx mods show a serious amount of dedication, "self-starter-ness" and competence in reading documentation. I've put 5000+ hours in and fell off spaceex in the green space science - so much depth.

Been playing Space Exploration mod with some friends for a little over a year on the same map now. Mabye ~300-400 hours into it and just starting to get naquitie feeling solid. Absolutely enormous scale to it

Oh man after I made my first blue space science I knew I had to stop. I have a family and a career and a base back on Navus to worry about. It became clear that success was so vastly out of reach that I wouldn’t be satisfied for months, and my IRL would go far further downhill. Still, I had to try setting up a couple moon bases, and I never got around to building a ship :/

Honestly yeah, I'm gonna add a link to my 1k SPM walkthrough to my resume. Down downside seems very low and the upside very high.

I think that low downside could be a useful company-screening mechanism. Any company who takes that as a negative would probably be somewhere with a poor engineering culture that I wouldn't want to work at. Could certainly be neutral or an eyeroll at some good places, but I'd guess anyone who counts it against an applicant probably isn't a great place to work.
