    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)
    Цена игры не велика - попробуйте. Обязательно! Вам понравиться!    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)

    Just one of the greatest strategy/sandbox game of all time. Very hard and very addictive. Be careful: you can spend thousand hours of you life in this game.

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.… Expand

    I absolutely love playing Factorio, and there is nothing more satisfying that finally setting up your 10th iron outpost today to get your base moving again, and seeing belts and chests piling up with resources as production meets satisfaction. 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

    Fair warning: This game is addicting. I just realised that I've put 120+ hours into the game. It starts off slow, but when you get into it, you really can't stop.

    Also, as an edit, I've upgraded the score to a 10. I'm nearly 200 hours in somehow.

    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.
