    If you like base building and legos play this. You can be really creative with how you do things. if the games too easy you can do a death world or wave defence and really push your limits. Game can be relaxing and or stressful depending on how you play its.pretty dope

    Лучшая игра. Долго сомневался в ней, но после первой ночи утонул в ней на 700 часов... Она просто проглотит вас целиком. Игра вроде проста, но очень увлекательна и интересна. (Проста на базовом уровне - там есть тонкости)

Or when you finally complete that 400th solar array -or 3rd nuclear power plant- and finally stop getting the low power alerts you've had since you pasted that beaconed factory blueprint. Few activities have me looking up from the game and panicking over how much time I just spent straightening out my railroad system, and very few games ever actually make me feel successful or accomplished when I finally click quit.

    At this point I now have over 1,000 hours tracked on steam, and at least a few hundred before it got added to steam. I cannot possibly recommend this game enough, from so many different perspectives.

    The only negative thing I see people mention that I can agree with at all is how tedious it can get far into a save - but that honestly 100% comes down to how well you balance your activities of adding resources, expanding your factory, etc; once you have some more time in the game, you can balance those things much better and no tedious feelings really come up so much anymore.    … Expand

I also like how this game can be enjoyed by casuals who finish the game via a huge belt-spaghetti mess as well as the hardcore programmer who finetuned his megabase with open excel spreadsheets, blueprints, ingame logicgates and thousands of robots alike. How you play is up to you and it feels really rewarding once you successfully solve logistic problems in your own way and seeing it come to fruition.

    There aren't really any negatives I could think of outside of obvious design choices, e.g. there isn't really any story to speak of other than "you crashed on an unknown planet - build a rocket". Creative players especially will have a blast as well as anyone who likes logical problem solving. Overall fun and hard not to recommend.    … Expand

    Factorio is great. I play it in sessions each with around 50/60+ hours because if I'm in there is no escape. While I'm planning something new or doing an upgrade I find more and more things I want to improve... a never ending circle. It's horrible because after I'm finished, I don't want to play the game again for quite some time...

    Unlike my social life since I found this game, the factory must grow.

    I've played many automation/colony builder games and there is nothing as deep and complex as this game. A single playthrough can easily be 200 - 300 hours long if you're actually trying to "finish" the game, but the reality is it's pretty much endless and that's before you even get into mods.

    this game is such a treat.

    its a 2d game about strategy, planning, management, logistics, balance, and automation, all rolled into a fun symphony. and if that wasn't enough for you, there's aliens that are angry you're on their planet and will try to destroy your base.

    it can be very complex in its execution, and i strongly recommend having a fellow veteran player nearby to show you the ropes without crushing your creativity, as a new player will get math headaches playing this game and really thinking about it. it can be overwhelming, and this is perhaps also a slight detractor for the game, as it will only really appeal to people who want to peel back the layers and be determined to 'guess and check' so to speak.

    everything in the game is customizable, adding a ton of quality of life. modding is simplicity itself, and the full set of tools is available from the dev website. browsing mods is done through in-game menu, and installation is a breeze.

    your game-play loop is to construct a factory to build a rocket to take you back up into space, where supposedly you can be safe, or something. leave the planet. that kind of thing. and getting there depends on you.

    there are no 'wrong' answers in factorio, simply less efficient answers.

    at first, you must mine some ore and coal by hand to get your first few basic systems running. after that, you'll have hydrocarbon miners to mine ore for you as you move it to the areas it needs to be.

    and then soon, electronic systems take their places, automated trains, drones, and transport belts are all there to mass transport your products to the next phase of refinement.

    will you run a balanced factory, an overproduction factory, a highly organized alphabetic production system, or a factory that just works? it's all up to you.

    once your factory build starts to reach a certain point, it begins to reduce your frame-rate, but most players will never see this. you have to be producing over 1M per hour of almost every product, and have a large integrated rail system to start reaching this point. you may reach this point sooner if you have enemies enabled. (yes they can be disabled, almost anything can be disabled. its a true sandbox builder.)

    from a code standpoint, i have never had this game crash with its default install, and it is one of the most technically sound pieces of software i've had on my system. it barely sips your pc power, and settings are available to help it run on systems with lower specifications. like if you use a laptop for travel, factorio can give you some diversion without destroying your wallet.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A masterpiece and a genre-defining (simulation & management) sandbox game; its defining power compares to SimCity. Every aspect is well knitted together and couldn't be better. Many other games can only achieve part of what Factorio does. Factorio has every object computed all the time, offering maximum customization and reality, realizes this in an addiction-inducing way, and does this with minimal PC requirements. The mod community is active and features many tweaks and some great overhauls. But Factorio does not please the player with numbers and beautiful animations, but asks the player to surpass herself, forever. The game itself offers hundreds of hours of gameplay, and with mods one can play thousands of hours. I'm happy to see if there'll be a game better than this one in the coming decade.… Expand

    Nice sandbox. Bought it after 5 min of demo version.
    Build, plan and automate you factory.
    Then automate your automated factory again.

    This game is a time machine - you start playing, then suddenly it's 5AM and you have to go to work in a couple of hours.

    Factorio is a sandbox game about automation. Having crash-landed on an alien planet, your goal is to launch a communication satellite. Initially it plays like a survival game where you collect basic resources and secure an area from hostile locals. Over time you'll automate more and more of your activities until eventually you act as an overseer who monitors whole systems of mining andFactorio is a sandbox game about automation. Having crash-landed on an alien planet, your goal is to launch a communication satellite. Initially it plays like a survival game where you collect basic resources and secure an area from hostile locals. Over time you'll automate more and more of your activities until eventually you act as an overseer who monitors whole systems of mining and production, issues commands to swarms of robots and fine-tunes designs. The game will ease you into complexity while maintaining a sandbox open-ness. Problems arise naturally and can be solved in many different ways. There will always be something to do, some improvement to make or bottleneck to resolve or resource patch to claim. Public and private multiplayer keeps the game fresh while allowing both cooperative and competitive playstyles.

    Logistics are the core of the game: moving things, processing them and moving them again. You'll have choices including robotic arms, conveyor belts, trains and logistics robots. There is no cost but time if you decide to tear things up and rebuild them, so do not be afraid to build now and fix mistakes later. On top of that transportation is a layer of control. On one end of the complexity scale you can use none at all, simply allowing resources to flow naturally. On the other end, you can use the Turing-complete logic circuits to sense and react to conditions, route trains, enable or disable parts of the factory and more.

    Most people 'beat the game' by launching their first rocket in 40 to 60 hours depending on playstyle, but that's just the beginning. Speedrunners can complete the task in under two hours. Many players, myself included, have over a thousand hours of playtime. After your 'victory' you can choose to continue your factory, improving in scale and automation while facing different types of logistics challenges that emerge naturally from the game's design and your own choices. Some choose to play with different settings, run player-made scenarios or add mods with varying levels of complexity. Others use the game as a sandbox to build weird or interesting projects.

    This game was release-quality three years ago, but the devs insist on excellence and also wanted to have a full set of high-resolution graphics. They have relentlessly optimized and bugfixed their way to an incredibly high-quality release that runs smoothly even on older hardware. They actively support the modding community, including fixes, enhancements and optimizations that only affect modders. They are also very up-front about what they are doing and why, often sharing interesting technical details few other companies would discuss.

    The player community is positive and welcoming, both on the official forums and on Reddit. A variety of free tools and guides are available. Several people such as Nilaus and KatherineofSky have Youtube "let's play" series covering the game, so if you want you can watch someone else impose order on the chaos. Many players recommend launching your first rocket before you go looking for design help though; a lot of the fun of the game is in solving small problems yourself.    … Expand
