Why we need the dark forest
This week we're reflecting on how much the dark forest has already impacted us and how much farther there is to go. Robert, one of our Forest Keepers in the New Creative Era space, recently compared today's internet to a city with only one restaurant: enormous, globally optimized,
Building in the dark forest
We write from our new home in the Dark Forest. This week we fully committed to our new universe: we abandoned Slack and moved all operations into DFOS, our new tool, available more widely in the coming weeks. It feels good in here. Calm. Cozy. Just enough activity for things

Friday Facts #414 - Spoils of Agriculture | Factorio
Hello, last week you've seen how Gleba looks, it's time to get a glimpse of what you can do there. With the idea of being a biological planet full of life, it seems reasonable to expect our engineer is about to harvest some of that. We already have ways of harvesting nature, specifically trees. On Nauvis we either just hit them with an axe enough times, or later our construction robots take care of that friendly forest devastation. These tools aren't quite up to speed to be a part of a mass-production chain in our factories, though... Both of the Nauvis methods are initiated manually so not the best for automation, and the trees don't grow back - so once an area has been harvested, you need to move your operation further.
On Thickets, Enclosure, and Leaving
Every platform I left, I left for the same pattern: enclosure by othering — systems that define what is shameful, create targets, and point an aggressive majority at them. Substack's AI-detection turn is the latest, and it is Dark Forestry in action. The escape is spatial: go where the platforms ar…
