    Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies.
    In the beginning you will find yourself chopping trees, mining ores and crafting mechanical arms and transport belts by hand, but in short time you can become an industrial powerhouse, with huge solar fields, oil refining and cracking, manufacture and deployment of construction and logistic robots, all for your resource needs. However this heavy exploitation of the planet's resources does not sit nicely with the locals, so you will have to be prepared to defend yourself and your machine empire.

    Join forces with other players in cooperative Multiplayer, create huge factories, collaborate and delegate tasks between you and your friends.

    While the core gameplay is in the form of the freeplay scenario, there are a range of interesting challenges in the form of Scenarios. If you don't find any maps or scenarios you enjoy, you can create your own with the in-game Map Editor, place down entities, enemies, and terrain in any way you like.

    Looking back, Factorio should be mentioned when discussing “impossible Nintendo Switch ports” just because of how demanding the game can get and how much care went into adapting it for a controller and running as well as it could on the original Nintendo Switch. On the portable home console’s successor, Factorio Nintendo Switch 2 Edition is even more impressive with its increase in resolution, faster load times, mouse controls, and more. If I had unlimited time, I’d keep playing Factorio with the Space Age DLC right now to spend a whole month with it on my Nintendo Switch 2. This port is absolutely brilliant.
