Wanted to see if I could do anything exciting with the new Satisfactory dedicated server API. There’s no documentation of it anywhere online, but there’s a random markdown file documenting it in the installation directory. Got it working but turns out it can’t do much. Oh well
I think you touched on how to make pay it forward work: make it as low effort as possible.
In this case, while you had lots of work, the people “paying it forward” had almost none. Thus the chain was able to go for as long as you were willing.
