It's definitely not pangea. For one, South America and Africa are not connected (which is the one thing everyone knows about plate tectonics). However what initially jumped out to me was India and the Himalayas (which are a relatively recent geological event).

We can do the structures now, and wait for them to match like legos by themselves

If every country would just build for the future Mother Nature will eventually finish the connections.

The factory needs more land

As much as Factorio's map gen algorithm is great for ensuring balanced access to resources and (functionally) infinite sprawl, I would love some handcrafted maps that involve feature scale and fractality (fractalness?) approaching real life. The default map gen is too samey after a certain point and size reached.

America wouldn't exist in Pangea. There wouldn't be any undiscovered lands to act as The Man in The High Castle

If you just wait for another geological age we will build hyper-gea, I promise.

Did you know: If all the railway lines in the US were joined end to end

. # Pave Pangea.

A sea of asphalt dotted with box stores and “luxury apartments” that are more parking space than living area.

Statistically it's much more likely to get invaded if you are on a different continent from them.

All of that would have been Mongolia long before European colonizers ever got a chance to genocide the new world natives.

An alternate history of the world if it was still pangea would be a wild book.

As a pro, there would be hardly any invasive species. But, imagine all the Australian venemous things in your backyard!

Like Australia?

That empty land would allow for some nice desert crossings. Empty land is easier to develop and you can go faster.

I'm imagine a donut with at least 2 dessert lines but maybe more. Likely a terminal town would appear in the center of the continent to be used for transfers

Oh I just saw the answer to this in the new Dinosaurs doc on Netflix, assuming it’s accuracy. At the beginning of Pangea the center was a desert with only the edges having any plant life, then there was a geologic event I think a large number of super volcanoes that caused a climate shift and there was a million years of hurricanes, when the storms finally subsided Pangea was green all over

OpenTTD in the wild.

just 1 more lane bro, we're gonna solve traffic dude just add 1 more lane

Think of all the mega parking lots this bad boy could fit!

The factory must grow. Only took me 7,000 hours to start using trains.

they

Plate tectonics?

The train tracks would have kept the continent from splitting apart

Or civ 3 player. Railroads made movent cost zero and we're op on the pangea map
