      I like to describe the aliens that attack you in factorio as environmentalists.

        Pollution actually makes the bugs stronger. Maybe they like pollution and want to go eat it all up.

            That’s not how evolution works. A species evolves to get stronger in battle if the weak ones die in battle. A species evolves stronger lungs if the weak ones die of lung cancer. Dying of lung cancer doesn’t make a species better fighters.

              Drag is correct, but it’s fantasy evolution we’re talking about

                Maybe. Or maybe they like the pollution. Maybe with better resource availability, they’re able to spend more energy on growing bigger and stronger without threatening survival.

        They hate that fresh, artisanal air

      I just got done with an 8 hour factorio session so this meme resonated
