Factorio is such a great game. I can see why the call it Cracktorio.
I finally “finished” the game by launching the rocket. I spent time building turret walls around the continent so I could have launched sooner. There is always something to tweak.
Anyone else played it?
Was good that I stayed away from reddit at the start so my base started like lovely spaggeti. Thanks for the tip @Avatar
I did manage to create myself an Eskom situation when I started with trains. I missed a signal and the train sat at the station while the factory ran out of coal. Then while I was trying to fix it I forgot to shutdown and got hit with real loadshedding.
Oh man, I remember playing the demo and getting pulled in so much, I soon thereafter bought the game and really enjoyed it. The big problem was how much of a time sink it was so I never got too far in the campaign. Played a fair bit of co-op with friends as well.
Factorio is THE original factory game that has inspired so many others. Without it there’d be no Satisfactory which is also a game that I’ve spent many happy hours playing.
Congratulations on reaching your first milestone in Factorio! Now, for the overhaul mods
The original complete overhaul was the set of Bob’s and Angel’s mods - they change the production so that you’ve got a bit of byproduct to manage in each step. Great concept, but I didn’t enjoy it all that much.
The current mods of choice are 1) Krastorio, and 2) Space Exploration. I’m running a game where I have both at the same time, calling it KrSx. Pronounce how you want to.
Krastorio changes the production recipes, biomes, minerals, and research tree, adding different ways to do science.
Space Exploration does what it says on the tin - space factories!
When I’m at my computer again, I’ll send you my list of quality of life mods as well.
I’m on a Space Exploration mod run. I was almost ready for my first rocket trip to Nauvis orbit last night, but municipal power infrastructure said no.
