You can automate research. How far off are you from a grey goo scenario?

As long as factories can't place factories, we're probably alright. What would a machine to do that even look like?

Yeah, there's something about getting the gears of industry meshing that looks oddly compelling. How many tiers of science flask have you got to work through, anyway?

Yeah, the tech tree seems designed to put you off your game like that, when suddenly you can combine two things on the opposite sides of your sprawl.

Wow. I did not expect solar would need so much space, but I guess it's to balance out pollution being a big drat deal.
