Always love reading about the technical work they do, there's lots of really interesting tech underpinning Factorio in many places.

Wube is the most absolutely massively based game development company in the world and you cannot tell me otherwise.

Wube is the kind of game dev company that would invent a new algorithm (like the fast inverse square root in quake) and not tell anyone until some insane player realised that their in-game circuit network ARM CPU simulation ran 20% faster than it theoretically should. Then they would publish a Friday facts about it once and move on.

You say that like they haven't already done that. The sheer amount of optimizations they've put into factorio are insane, I'd almost guarantee they've invented some new data system that's never been seen before and haven't told us.
