Don't do it! Save yourself RIGHT NOW and click away! This review is based off the "off the website" version from Factorio.com which I got a while ago. I have been playing Factorio since the early days (before oil refining was implemented) and after what I am embarrassed to say might be ~200 hrs I still find myself looking up from the game 5 hours after I loaded up my map to "just check on my steel production real quick" and wondering how it happened again. I've played this game on a windows machine as well as on a 2013 MacBook Air and it runs beautifully on both. (After about 70 hours when it takes several minutes to DRIVE across my factory and I have hundreds of robots dashing about the MacBook Air will start getting hot, that's how I know to start a new map.) The game is addicting, I'm constantly learning better ways to play the game, new tricks and designs to try out. The modding community is amazing and has some incredible support, and once they drop .13 it's only going to get better. The developers are always putting out meaningful updates and bug fixes regularly which makes me come back to play more every few months if I somehow move on to another game. Make sure that you look up some information just to get the start of the game down or run through the campaign/tutorials (I've never played through them but I've heard they are good) I don't review things, but this game and these devs deserve as many good words as I can type out on a page. If you like worrying about how you are going to get ammunition to your remote mining bases on your train system while still getting the raw ore back efficiently to your Mega-Smelting block, Buy It. If you like seeing waves of Bugs crash against your walls and melt in front of your turrets, which then get automatically repaired by automatic bots tied to your production line, Buy It. If you want to fall asleep wondering if you need to add in another oil refinery to increase your rubber production, Buy It. Just buy it
