          <h3>2024 World-Record Event</h3>
          <p>
            The biggest Eternity Cluster event so far was the 2024 push toward
            <strong style="color: var(--text)">1,000,000 science per minute</strong>. What started as an
            ambitious community Clusterio project became a record-setting run built by hundreds of
            players coordinating across many linked Factorio instances.
          </p>
          <br />
          <p style="color: var(--text-muted)">
            Reddit progress updates tracked the event from pre-launch through the final milestone.
            An update published on <strong style="color: var(--text)">January 26, 2024</strong> formalised the goal,
            and a later update on <strong style="color: var(--text)">February 24, 2024</strong> reported the
            cluster at <strong style="color: var(--text)">553,000 SPM</strong>, with
            <strong style="color: var(--text)">138 Factorio instances</strong> online and total memory usage
            around <strong style="color: var(--text)">491 GB</strong>.
          </p>

        <div class="info-block">
          <h3>Key Achievements</h3>
          <ul class="milestone-list">
            <li>Reached 1,000,000 SPM on March 3, 2024.</li>
            <li>More than tripled the previous cluster benchmark of roughly 300,000 SPM.</li>
            <li>Built a solar world with over 40 million solar panels, producing about 2.5 TW.</li>
            <li>Scaled to more than 160 running copies of Factorio across the cluster.</li>
          </ul>

        <div class="info-block">
          <h3>Scale of the Run</h3>
          <ul class="milestone-list">
            <li>Over 400 players joined at least one server during the event.</li>
            <li>The project was supported by dozens of physical hosts and large pooled memory capacity.</li>
            <li>Clusterio let separate maps specialise into mining, production, power, and science.</li>
            <li>The event stayed open to new contributors throughout the run.</li>

              <p>The team set out to build the largest Clusterio event yet, targeting one million real-world science per minute before the Factorio 2.0 era.</p>

              <p>By late February the cluster had crossed 553k SPM, unlocked extreme research levels, and established the foundation needed to keep scaling.</p>
