12/31/2023 0 Comments Factory town reviewMy first couple of experimental factories ended up being such a mess that I decided it was better to simply abandon them and start over rather than trying to salvage the tangle of assembly lines and mining drills I had created before I understood some key tricks and common pitfalls. The most important thing to understand about Factorio is that it's one of those games you probably won't figure out how to play optimally through trial and error alone. While it gets a little slow in certain places and its ultra-complex logistics chains can be overwhelming, the rewarding depth that can be extracted from its whirring conveyor belts and steam-belching power plants are worth the trouble. It starts you off as a spaceship crash survivor with only a pickaxe with which to explore its randomly generated 2D planets, but stick with it long enough and you can build all the way up to fighting aliens with tanks and creating manufacturing megastructures in seconds with a personal robot swarm. Maybe the snakes will move further away.Rags-to-riches survival games are a dime a dozen these days, but Factorio’s wild ambition and open-ended format takes the potential for complexity up several notches. Call the Mayor’s office at 305 883-5800 and ask them to either turn the speakers around or bring them to the edge of the Urban Development Boundary and stack them facing the Everglades. Is there something everyone could do? YES!! Call the Mayor of Hialeah, Steve Bovo, and renounce the noise. “I said, I’m caller number 31, what do I win, in a bid to get a laugh, but there was a serious issue here.” I wanted her to say, “We’ll get over there and get them to turn it down” but she said it was coming from Hialeah. I was told there were 30 calls before me. Was it a giant hearing test?Īt 11:30 we decided to call the police and register a noise complaint. This is today’s ‘music’? I guess you can dance to it while holding your ears. We were wrong! Later that evening we heard the constant thump, thump, thump of what could have been a record skipping over and over with no-one close by to adjust the stylus. It started in the early evening for just a short time as a demonstration of how giant speakers hold up when too much sound is pushed through them. The Hialeah ordinance 2019-029 contains a condition requiring development order applicants, successors or assigns to provide a notice to buyers, lessee and renters of multifamily residential units (In the immediate area) informing them that the subject property is located near entertainment uses that “ could create light and noise.” They’re warning us of more noise! (It’s a 6-month try-out.)Īt about 11PM when most people think about sleepy time, the thump was back. Our municipal neighbor to the immediate north has instituted the “Factory Town Entertainment Sub-District Pilot Program.” which lately during an Art Basel associated satellite fair, has caused the residents of the eastern half of Miami springs to cover their ears for most of the night. With a constant westerly wind aiding the sound, they couldn’t sleep for the constant bass beat. We heard a report of the loud music from neighbors as far from Hialeah as the 600 block of Plover. This is happening during the Art Basel/Miami Beach cluster-thingy. If you live in the extreme western portion of beautifully tree shaded Miami springs, you may not have heard the constant thump of drums and deep resonance of the bass in the sound which, in the eastern part of town has been breaching our eardrums until 5AM.
