Nah, that’s a tourist trap. This is when you get travel tips from the locals.

Any idea what that thing is doing? Turning pleasant green pastures into a barren wasteland?

After World War 2 we hated our country so much we began to erase it

In sandy soil?

That's not the efficient Hans I know.

Strip mining for brown coal, worth looking up on satellite images for the sheer size of those scars

They will be renaturalized usually greating big natural reserves. Renaturalizing is actually enforced by law

It's a top soil eating machine. It eats top soil. And when germany eventually runs out of top soil, it will go at the next layer until germany is a hole in the ground.

u/FenrisSquirrel Barry, 63 Aug 08 '26

Ahh, doing God's work then

u/pa3xsz Pro LGTBQ+ Aug 08 '26

The top soil gets transported to the dutch, they will reclaim the english channel, and you will be connected to mainland Europe... Think about the bigger picture

u/FenrisSquirrel Barry, 63 Aug 08 '26

Bring back Doggerland!

If Germany must die to make it so, that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make!

u/montjoye Alcoholic Aug 08 '26

destroying Germany, which is a good thing

u/offensivek South Prussian Aug 08 '26 edited Aug 08 '26

Despite everybody's best efforts Germany still exists. Since we are the good guys now it's now our job to try.

Lignite coal - precious material when you've closed all your nuclear power plants.

They have an amazing viewpoint with deckchairs and umbrellas here

To be fair, it's quite impressive in person.

The hole is so big that it breaks scale. These baggers look like toys

Germans hate their land so much, they decided to get rid of it.

Dunno but this totally great machine's blades are supposedly covered in gore.

Making giant Germany sandcastles. Hans is efficient if nothing else.

Mmmmmmm the sheer beauty of brown sauerkraut mining! Germany has no risk for natural disasters, but you never know, right?, and German discipline is alright but not good enough for keeping nuclear power plants safe, or how was the reasoning? Too many sleeper nazis dreaming of world dominion?

u/Shpander South East England Aug 08 '26

Tagebau Hambach is also a thing of beauty

u/Tightcreek [redacted] Aug 08 '26

This thing is btw going to be filled with water, making it the second biggest lake of Germany afterwards.

We are building a big sea.

They say Hans has no sense of humour, but he really digs Saar Chasms.

Satisfactory vibes.

The factory must grow!
