Thanks for sharing that insight! I hope you learned something in the process as well! I hope to find time soon to incorporate all the ideas found in the comments.

Is this still happening? I thought I gutted the reduce animation coding

A couple of units that were shown on your page, but that is a very cool note. You never know when something leaves a lasting impression on someone!

Thank you! Share with your colleagues! It’s important folks understand how oil and gas works with so much unrest.

This should be fixed, I just removed the animation stop for this game.

I hope you found the procedure! Sometimes learning by failure and that your intuition doesn’t always win is the best lesson! Thanks for playing!

Thanks! I would love to hear your biggest takeaway or follow up curiosity.

Interesting! I could add a “just the facts” button in the bottom section that lets you go through all the fun fact slides I built?

Also, thank you for the compliment! I would love to partner with folks to build more professions and host them under Fueling Curiosity.

How awesome that you were able to find this! I’m only missing a couple! The SRU is my final hurrah that I’m trying to get the play dynamic right. Balancing air demand with sulfur load without overwhelming the screen with bars and widgets.

Haha man maybe I’ll add a track to keep going until you arrive at the website hosting the Great Refinery Run. Energy-ception

Fair, I can think through adding risk points where poor stewardship can exasperate these concerns. Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for playing, would love to hear the most interesting fact or minigame you enjoyed the most!

If you hard reset, it will erase your save file cookie and forget your progress. Another option, if you push through to the end and deliver your first product, you unlock the refinery map feature and can jump back to the extraction step!

Thank you, almost like you read my manifest for this haha. I was concerned the learning would get overshadowed by the LLM use. Hope you learned some interesting facts that help you understand the why of refining a little bit more. I started developing this before the conversation around oil became mainstream media again.

Thank you for the support! I tell my team this all the time, there’s no point in building systems that we rely on to be perfect to integrate LLMs, but we can use them to low risk workflows that otherwise would never get coding/automation support.

It’s really changed the way I work from opening up the ability to write deterministic code, but I’ve yet to see many instances that we could tolerate a “in-the-loop” LLM yet.

Ah! Tried to add an accessibility feature and broke it! I’ll see what I can do to find a better middle ground.

If you open the Firefox inspection window, right-click any element on a webpage and select Inspect. Alternatively, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Option+C (Mac). You can also access it via the menu button (three horizontal lines) -> More Tools -> Web Developer Tools.

Does it show any errors?
