    This game is genre defining in the best possible manner. Its simple systems stacked up to stunning complexity, you can play how you like, you can follow the herd or go your own way.

    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.

    This is the best game investment I ever did. Will be very surprised if I'm not at several thousand hours of game play in a few years and by then will have introduced my oldest kids. If you are prone to addiction I would stay away from this game, but otherwise; JUST BUY IT!

    Probably the best game I've ever played. Once you have the "There is no spoon" achievement, just add mods and the best game becomes even better. Been a gamer for 35 years, played every genre from fighting games, simulations, RTS, FPS, etc etc for thousands of hours.

    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!

    I'm embarrassed about how many hours i have logged on this game on steam. Lets put it that way and leave it at that. Absolute 10/10 that needs to be played to be truly understood.

    I have about 1100 hours in this game. This game is just like Civilization "One more turn" and you lost about a nights sleep. But in factorio it is like i have want to optimize my production and suddenly you realize it is light out side.

    Automation perfected. A brilliant creative puzzle game. The game gives you an insurmountable task, then gives you an idea of a small step you can take towards it with what you can do now. Once you do that, you realize you can take another small step, and 50 hours later you've almost completed that herculean task that seemed so far off at the beginning: Getting off the alien rock you'reAutomation perfected.

    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.

    Avoid at all costs if you won't be able to handle endless dreams about conveyor belts carrying coal.

    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.

    This is a superb game about automation that paved the way for other titles like satisfactory, with some tower defense bits. In it, your objective is to build a rocket, and for that you will place assembly machines to automate the manufactory of increasingly complicated itens, research resources and defenses for keeping aliens away as your factory expands, until it's suddenly 3am.

    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. The game just play like never ending, like play from day to night. Until I forget to eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner, also forget to bath and sleep.

    This game is an absolute must for any strategy/logistic fans
    be warned this game is addictive, the scope for refining tactic is near limitless
    this game has 1000+ hours of play available, never feels like a grind
    not played multiplayer yet
    Creeper World 3 & this are the best 2 strategy games I've ever played
    GREAT VALUE FOR MONEY

    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.

    This is one of my favorite games ever, I don't even know how to review it, because it's just too perfect in it's genre. It's so perfect that this game should be placed as the Standard of engineering games in International Bureau of Weights and Measures.

    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.
