Factorio

> Sees new game > Won't spend $35 on new game > Not even remotely close from considering buying the $35 dollar DLC > Pirates new game + DLC > Plays for 200+ hours > Rethinks life choices > Buys new game + DLC on steam

Part of the steam holy trinity, Rimworld - Factorio - Stardew Valley. Three games that you can recommend to every single human being on planet earth. Buy it.

Possibly my greatest addiction, and the mods make it substantially more so.

Amazing experience The sun is a social construct I survive because of LED lighting Microwavable meals are effecient sources of calories The biters are coming I have iron deficency The biters are here I pull out my 160 mm artillery shell and start blasting They are eating my nuclear reactor *VINE BOOM SOUND EFFECT* Problem solved itself Would

Until now I couldn't afford the game so I saw the seas, but the factory must grow, now legit...

I have played this game since 2019 when i was just 8, and i liked it even then. Sometimes this game is called cracktorio, and its completely true. This game will eat a TON of time. Even though I have played for 450 hours it still feels like I spent something like 100 hours in it. Factorio has an insane amount of stuff that you can craft and do in it. For perfect performance you need to calculate stuff, and also it has a nuke. The space age DLC that was released in 2024 triples the stuff that you have, it adds 4 new planets and sapce platforms that you have to build to travel between those planets as well as there is a ton of new stuff to explore. I very recommend this game and if you finished it and you fell that you are ready for even more complex and challenging mode or something like that, buy the space age DLC

A genre defining game that has continued to challenge me after over 1000 hours. In particular, I've been delighted by how there is room for continued skill growth in playing the game well after finishing the base game (launching a rocket) and escaping the solar system (DLC space age). Many of the advanced aspects of the game, such as circuits, are optional and I didnt really use them till well after the base game, but when I did discover them, they added significantly to how to play the base game. This game then led to several other games that extend on the concept new new ways: Satisfactory, Dyson Sphere. They offer a less mature automation experience but take the automation to more advanced places. Factorio is the place to start.

get a therapist and a divorce lawyer before playing this, u will thank me later best game ever played devs are awsome!!!

This game will take over your life. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone with no job, family, or social life and no interest in ever attaining those things. Because your life will be about this game from now on.

I was back and forth about this game for a while. It has never gone on sale that I have seen so the devs obviously know they have a gem and people will pay for it. It is a unique and fun take on the factory builder style games. The bugs are a little annoying and get overwhelming so I suggest disabling them on your first play through. Other than that, it is a fun all around game.
