One guy plants the trees, another guy cuts them down, and a third guy takes the vast majority of the money from the sale of lumber. Gotta love that medieval-style economy we still use for some reason!

Sounds like a joke, but isnt that basically 90% of anything economy based politics these days? Taxpayer money usually ends up in dumb bs. Literally any government has this issue, someone higher up just spends a ton of money on absolute trash.
Considering the wide variety of things tax money is spent on, I'd say producing green energy is one of the best possibilities. Government grant guy is doing great

The editing, the shtick, the concise but entertaining videos; it's *chef's kiss*. You've honed a very unique presentation and personality for your videos and I love it.

okay so, with cell quality being added so long ago, I came up with an interesting mod idea - Someone could likely convert Prison Architect into Hotel Architect, with prisoners sentences being converted into short "hotel days".

Btw, if you build an export zone, you don't have to manually sell all the wood, workers will haul it to the export zone, so you can have an infinite automatic lumber farm. Not sure why they even have a "Sell" option from clicking wood, feels like you should HAVE to export it lol
If all of you dont know ambiguous amphibian had a twitch and also an alternate youtube showing vods. Im just a fan but I wish somebody told me this earlier so here it is. Good luck amphibian brothers.
Keep an eye out for Pardox's next game, Industrial Starving Boy. In the game you have to beg, borrow or steal every day just to feed and shelter yourself, augmented only by a passive salary of 20,000 dollars a minute, a waypoint system, a self-playing mode that can't be turned off, a copy of Nintendo Power that tells you where everything is, and an audio recording of that Nintendo Power, so you don't have to read.
