    That would be so interesting. They’d have to automate almost everything.

    Can they not be allowed to leave as well? I’d enjoy watching that petri dish. A billion dollars doesn’t mean much without disparity.

      They’d be screwed the first time they needed a sink unclogged or a tire changed. Assuming they even got as far as building structures that didn’t collapse immediately.

      They’d certainly think it’s possible. Like a game of Factorio. But what they wouldn’t consider is that the protagonist in that game is fully capable of doing all the work by hand.
