Very addicting optimization game, I play it in bursts regularly.

Not much to say other than just fun as hell

I've been playing this with friends and my god it's complicated but fun. Despite having completed the games main goal and getting the ending screen I honestly feel like I barely scratched the surface, there's so many layers here what with efficiency options, ideas for bases you can try etc.

If you enjoy logistic games you'll get on great with this I think.

Best factory game of all time, complicated in the beginning but you get into a flow. Had dreams of how to optimize my factory, not healthy but addicting


My factory will never be max efficiency but I suppose that's the point. Great sandbox gameplay. You can go insane trying to make your factory even a single % better

second session both played 5+ hours, in the first I find it very nice and chill. In the second session, starting to think this videogame is too much complex for me.

I wish I could recommend this game in good conscience but I cannot. Based on his post history the founder, Michal Kovařík, is not someone I want to support. I won't go into detail here, just look up "why is the Factorio creator hated" if you are curious.

In concept, I should like a game focused around building up a factory to build more and more complex components. Making my factory efficient is fun at first, but something about the middle product of science often being a 'colored potion bottle' makes it feel a bit abstract at a point. I also stop enjoying it when the scale of the factory gets too big and you need to start using bots to manage pieces.

Worth the sleep deprivation and adhd diagnosis

Great game with infinite replayability, but can be difficult to play casually without pulling out spreadsheets and diagrams to avoid massive wait times and losses in your factory.

i swear ill beat it eventually

Simplesmente perfeito, o jogo já não é fácil, e modpacks mudam a experiência completamente. Vacilo foi terem aumentado o preço e não terem promoções

"WHY IS THERE NO IRON"— 3 hours later—[object destroyed sound][object destroyed sound][object destroyed sound][object destroyed sound][object destroyed sound][object destroyed sound]

Almost an ideal game for me in a lot of ways, although it doesn't have any narrative depth which stops it really being a favourite.

Played this in lockdown a while back with a pal for a week straight, 7 hours a day and beat it.
It tickled my lizard brain and I simply couldn't stop laying down train rails and shooting bugs.

Hellish timeportal, but I'll always cherish the time I had playing it with my friend.

invading alien camps with drones and blueprints

So addicting I don’t even know if the game is good anymore HAHAHA… cries

A game about building and designing factories marred by the fact that you always build the same factory: the same resources as inputs going into the same assemblers with the same outputs will always inevitably mean that you are building essentially the same thing, robbing the player of their in-game purpose as an architect.
It still has the best tutorial of any video game ever made, though.

Factorio is untouchable in it's area, while there have come to be a few games working in this subgenre like Satisfactory they simple do not have the staying power or impressiveness that Wube brought and continues to bring to the table. The ethos of the developers shows and shines in their work, the way they embrace the modding community is amazing and the vanilla game along can easily give you thousands of hours of actual fun, if only I could figure out trains (I'm dumb).

I do recommend before trying modded like angelbobs you take a look at what order you should consider mods as some are significantly more complicated than others.

Gostei demais desse jogo, para quem gosta de jogo de construção de base, automação, mineração, sobrevivência... Esse jogo é perfeito. Ele foi o único jogo que joguei no switch até agora que não teve queda de desempenho quando minha base estava grande. Jogo com muitos modos de jogo, bom tutorial, controles customizaveis, possibilita jogar com mouse e teclado, tem multiplayer(vários modos), campanha principal bacana e rende muitas horas. Para quem gosta tem conquistas.
A arte dele eu sei que não é pra todo mundo, eu particularmente gostei mas a interface é muito bonita, intuitiva e agradável.
Tem uma configuração no jogo que pra mim foi muito bacana que é aumentar o tamanho da interface, que funciona de forma alternada para o modo dock e portátil ou seja quando está na TV você pode deixar menor e quando for pro portátil ele muda automaticamente, isso fez desse jogo um dos que mais joguei no modo portátil.
Com certeza será um jogo que voltarei a jogar.

I need 0.0003% more efficiency on my iron gear line, just one more assembler, just one more assembler, just one more assembler, just one more assembler
