Its just easier
Your job is playing Factorio?!
I mean, it’s not too much of a stretch! Balancing your inputs and outputs.
There’s also exposure/interfacing with piping design, which you’ll feel right at home in if you enjoy good factorio belt routing
I highly recommend considering process eng or piping design to anyone who likes factorio
Well, i once played factorio, downloaded pyanodon’s mod. It quickly became so complex i figured you need degree in chemical engineering to complete it. Am now studying chemical engineering
As a modern software engineer, I believe the second panel is also sufficient to explain my job to congress.
I’ve always struggled to succinctly describe my job to people outside of it, it’s muddy because I often fill gaps and there’s often a lack of clear r&r, I’m on paper a Data Engineer & Architect, I just say I design and build backend stuff and handle infrastructure.
Had the same issue when I did Equipment Reliability Engineering, technical roles are often really hard to explain to people I’ve found.
Also a process engineer. Real answer is “I develop procedures for cleaning contamination critical hardware”. My flippant answer is “I tell other people how to do their jobs”.
Imagine going to college to become a digestive system
I also do that. Mainly Unix pipes.
