Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. 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.
Join forces with other players in cooperative Multiplayer, create huge factories, collaborate and delegate tasks between you and your friends. Add mods to increase your enjoyment, from small tweak and helper mods to complete game overhauls, Factorio's ground-up Modding support has allowed content creators from around the world to design interesting and innovative features. While the core gameplay is in the form of the freeplay scenario, there are a range of interesting challenges in the form of the Scenario pack, available as free DLC. If you don't find any maps or scenarios you enjoy, you can create your own with the in-game Map Editor, place down entities, enemies, and terrain in any way you like, and even add your own custom script to make for interesting gameplay.
Note: This game may require additional serial key for multiplayer mode. In case it is not automatically generated in your GOG.com library (open it via website → select the game → More → Serial Keys), please reach out to our Support team.
the dev is clearly one of those dudes who'd hole up in his StarCraft base for 10+ minutes building up a maginot line, then get angry when I busted in and took him out
The best defense against a world full of bugs is a good offense, specifically a remotely-controllable kill train that repairs the tracks in front of and behind it and blasts critters to bits
I started playing on peaceful mode because my daughter didn't want me to kill bugs, and the game is 10x more fun this way. It was so annoying having to run/drive around myself killing bug nests, and even with the spidertron it's still stupid and annoying
While we're at it I want a way to enable quality mods without having to manually confirm every time I build anything from that moment on forever
Factorio now sits atop a throne not many games can ever claim. It spawned its own genre, just like Doom, Diablo, or Dark Souls, with many great games taking inspiration from it, yet never really surpassing it.
Some people might prefer Satisfactory because of its 3D environment and FPS look, some will love Dyson Sphere Program (which I also do) for its immense galactic scale, but none of these or any other are deeper, more customizable and truly hardcore than Factorio. You can literally build your own computer within the game.
The game is so deep that even with my 1500 hours in it, I still feel like a beginner. I have the basic understanding of how it all works, but with each new playthrough I learn new things and new ways to improve upon my old designs.
One of the huge assets of the game that is basically robust enough to be a game on its own... trains... Oh my God, the TRAINS in this game are awesome! And I'm not even a trains geek myself :O
The sheer joy when I finally learnt how to setup my railways in such a way that they would be somewhat efficient and my trains wouldn't collide with each other, it was so rewarding. I'm a total noob when it comes to trains still, but even with my limited knowledge, I can just sit and watch them running for hours. These days I try to setup a railway network as soon as possible, with a personal train for transportation with a stop at each outpost, different parts of the base etc.
The nickname of the game among its community is Cracktorio, and it's a very apt nickname, let me tell you. If you have couple hundred or even couple thousand worth of hours to spare and you like to build factories and automate EVERYTHING, give this game a go. I guarantee you will not regret the money spent. One of the best investments I've ever made.
