    To oppress people just because they live in a certain country? Doesn't it remind you of anything?

    a horrible, hypocritical bunch of disgusting people. Russian players adored your game, always stayed with you. and that's what you did to the fans. this is a black spot on your reputation. and even if you decide to return to the region, you will never earn the trust and respect that you had before.

    As an apology for the price of 10,000, you should make at least a -99% discount. Or as much as possible to distribute the game to everyone. Otherwise we will only download your games on torrents.

    There are no policies in the games. What serious is NFT ??
    > You are a developer of the game.
    > We get into politics and treat trends instead of playing the game
    > Get a wave of disgust and negative feedback

    Game good and thoughtful. And the one who has decided to post political appeals on it - apparently not very smart.

    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

    To begin with, I am Russian, and I consider such an attitude towards my country and the Russian gaming community to be unacceptable. The act (increasing the price of a game on steam, first 20 times, and then 2 times), by the Czech studio Wube Software, I consider hostile and Russophobic. And calls for the overthrow of power are stupid. There are more and more game studios getting into politics, they just want hype and resonance. With regards to the game, it's just a sandbox where there is no special purpose or plot, and I don't see the point in paying $200 for it.    … Expand

The main gameplay is in building your base to produce some technological stuff, to build a bigger base that can produce more technological stuff. Sounds simple, but you will create your own little factory with a power plant by yourself, developers give us a lot of different types of items and buildings, which you can manipulate, and optimize for building some unstoppable production.

    You will solve big problems in your factory such as: optimizing your resource delivery conveyor or delivering iron ore by trains, creating fire turrets for defense, or enriching uranium for a nuclear reactor.
    Sounds really hard to do and boring, but the game makes you feel fun from these problems and make you happy when you find some genius way to use standard things better.

    And this game fit well for a lot of kinds of players, from hardcore one to some lazy people which just want to chill after work. Also if you get bored from the main side of gameplay you can make a tank or car with a machine gun and just drive a little outside your base and kill some biters. And it will also help you in the main part of the game because you will spend less time defending your base from attacks.

    Nice optimization and interesting mechanic with pollution and biters adding into your game another side of gameplay, the part which is interesting too but not so interesting as the main part of gameplay, because we don't have a lot of weapon types and some parts are not so effective for battle as you think when you collect resources to produce them. But you can find a lot of opportunities using buildings for your battle. Actually, they probably were made without any thinking to use them in the battle directly, but it's great that you can use them effectively in it so that it will open a big window for different manipulations.

    One problematic time period was when my base had already grown up a little and my base was almost like spaghetti. So it was a little boring to rebuild all this stuff. So it's the biggest problem of the game.

    A little disappointing is the ending, I think they can make more tools for the end game era to let players feel like a god.

    And also I can mark one thing: the game world is endless so you can't get some happiness from your in-game tasks such as: killing all biters, researching the whole planet and etc. It looks like a good point for multiplayer or for some experienced players but I don't think so for new players it's good too.

    Anyway, it's a great and unique game, so I recommend it for purchase.

    Boring management. You do the same thing, it gets boring after a couple of hours. Progress is made in stages, there are no differences in the stages, just more time to build a new one.

    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.

    This is the perfect game for me as I like to automate things. I enjoyed how the gameplay evolves from manual mining to a fully automated factory able to launch rockets into space by crafting them all the way from the basic ingredients going through numerous stages of processing.

    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.

    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!
