    I cannot honestly praise this game enough. It's virtually flawless. And has addiction levels somewhere up there with class A drugs. If you have OCD, any form of autism, are a perfectionist, then this game will hit all your buttons at once. Simply fantastic.

    Recommend for everyone. Don't think it's only for engineers. If you like puzzles or strategy you'll love this, if you like anything except for pure social games or button mashing you will enjoy this for many many hours. This game creates what is called flow, and it does it without ladders or leveling.    … Expand

    Nejvíc nejlepší hra tohoto typu za posledních 10 let. Neskutečně chytlavá, propracovaná a neskutečně skvěle optimalizovaná. Člověk to pustí že jen na hodinu, dvě.. Najednou jsou 3 ráno a já řeším že proč zas něco dochází a kam se podelo všechno železo.. Tak se rozhodni jen lehce něco přidat.. Začíná svitat a já bych měl jít do postele.. Ale Factory must GROW!

    É um jogo insanamente bom onde você tem que fazer uma linha de produção pra construir um foguete.

    Apesar da premissa simples, é uma coisa extremamente complexa que exigem muita logística, raciocínio e paciência, mas não se esqueça, quanto mais tempo passa mais aliens vão atacar e mais fortes eles vão ficar.

    It has carefully crafted sprites and it's aesthetic is excellent even being a 2D game, it is opotimized to a degree where even the largest factories, called megabases, will hardly push the game below 60 UPS, and some bases get really enormous, given the maps are infinite and procedurally generated.
    Also, if you start to think it's too easy, go ahead and slap in some mods until you need a trello board to remember wtf you were doing, the game has a really good mod suppot and community that it will be hard to not have new stuff to automate.    … Expand

    I can edit the map manually with extreme rich resources by adjusting whatever I like before I start a new game. So I can start consume plenty of time to build my factory basement.

    Si Factorio était un morceau de musique, il lui faudrait tout un orchestre. Car Factorio est l’apothéose du jeu d’usine et de création de base, et à moins de quatre-vingts musiciens, on ne rendrait pas justice à la profondeur vertigineuse de son contenu. Il faudrait aussi que tous les instrumentistes soient des virtuoses, car Factorio sonne juste du début à la fin, sans aucune fausse note.Si Factorio était un morceau de musique, il lui faudrait tout un orchestre.

    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.

    Best game, it may look simple game, but it is complex game. It will push you to grow your factory and make it efficient as possible.

    Great game. The main focus is building a giant factory so you can launch a rocket. Every map is randomly generated, and every playthrough is different. Keep in mind that you can spend hundreds of hours on a single map!
    Also, mods!
    So many mods!
    The devs are cool and always listen to our feedback to make the game better.

    Extremely addicting game with amazing developers that are constant contact with the community and release updates more often than any others Ive seen. Because of the fantastic modding community, the game offers basically an infinite amount of gameplay. The only bad thing i can think about this game is that it can mess with your real life because it is so addicting.

    Game is only good for a few thousand hours. After that it begins to get stale. Then you install mods.

    10 out of 10 would not recommend if you value personal relationships, maintaining a healthy sleep cycle , and not being fired from your job.

    I finished this game once.
    Vanilla game are great I used about 40 hours to finished my first run. Most of the times I solving space problems, plan for a new factory, optimize old factory, kill an alien with turret creep, shotgun some tree, crafting a thing that never use in forever, train traffic jam, more iron, crashed my vehicle into the wall and eat some pole. inventory full, trying to stand on belt and see where is the end of the line, get frustration with circuit network, factory must grow and play with mods can expand play times from hundreds to thousands hours.    … Expand

    The factory must grow. A simple game that is anything but. With a few core pieces and some easy to grasp mechanics anyone can feel like a big brained Logitian.

    One of the most dedicated dev teams have made quite possible the most stable game I've ever played.

    Oh and mod support with over 5000 mods BEFORE launch.

    Have fun.

    Factorio is a perfect blend between base building, resource management, micro management and tower defense.
    The world is procedural generated by parameters which you can tweak and choose, want more enemies? got it! want less? got it! want to make them more aggressive? got it? just want to chill without any enemies and just build a factory to launch the rocket? you can! more resources? YES! less resources? YES!
    A playthrough can last from the world record of 2 hours to a OCD scratching 500-1000 hours and beyond, the limit is only your imagination.
    Build complex train network, try your hand in programming via the circuit network with logic gates and fully automated smart production. Organize your base to be the most efficient and in ratio, or create a spaghetti mess, all up to you.
    Oh, and if your imagination is limited or you run out of stuff to do, there are hundreds and thousands of mods, some add quality of life items and systems, and some change the whole game into something completely new! Start a game on a deserted island (yes, just like a minecraft skyblock only on water), survive a post industrial apocalyptic world, add hundreds more recipes, complicate existing ones for higher difficulty.

    I have been playing this game for two years, in early access. The biggest issue with the game is that its very addictive. If you have OCD this is the game for you. If you dont want to kill anything but stretch your mind...turn off the Enemy (biters) and play peaceful...but still tax your mind. The idea is you have crash landed on a planet and you have to build a rocket to leave. in myI have been playing this game for two years, in early access.

    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
