Lazy bastard is an achievement you can earn in Factorio by completing the game by handcrafting 111 or fewer items.

This task isn't as easy as it first appears because it counts all of the prerequisites for crafted items as well as the item itself. For example, making a pair of small electric poles requires 2 wood and 2 copper cable. You have to hand craft the wood and copper cables, so a pair of wood is crafted with a raw wood and a pair of copper cables is crafted with a copper plate. Hence, it requires the hand crafting of 3 items (a pair of wood, a pair of cables, and a pair of small electric poles) to get a small electric pole.
