I tried to build someone on one the nodes but it was torn down because I wasn’t using a fully balanced ups efficient design.
Its cool going on there and seeing how fast the bots and miners work. The bots telephone around.
I want to try factorio but I’m afraid I’ll get hooked
Last time I played it was in college. I tried it out, and played my first game while relaxing before bed at 10:00 PM. I never ended up going to bed, and only realized I played all night when I heard my roommate making breakfast at 8:00 the next morning. I ended up uninstalling after the next time I played it, the same thing happened. After uninstalling it I was still thinking about optimization.
This game is too addictive. Calling it cracktorio is absolutely accurate.
I cannot stress this enough if you’re remotely worried you’d get addicted you definitely should NOT play. I used to do opioids and I’m not exaggerating this game was more addictive for me. Like lose your job addictive. I’m adhd and on the ASD and absolutely obsessed with the concept of optimization. The thing is you’ll never really reach peak automation unless you do like this project, 400 people 10,000s of hours.
I’ll give you another reference point. I’ve also played wow, Arma Life, and Foxhole, all very common addicting games. I’d sit down to play one of those with a beer and after a ~3-5 hours and a few beers I’d take a break and notice time went by. Factorio I’d sit down at 6pm and never touch my beer, never move an inch from my seat and think a few hours went by when it’s now 8am and I only notice 14 hours went by because I see fucking sun light.
Fuck this video really makes me wanna play again haha.
Now they just need a Factory to create more Factories and they…
I apologize, this is Factorio, not Java.
But that’s literally what you do, you build a starter factory to help you build a mid tier research factory which can then help you build a proper factory that can support megascale production

They got that mostly working
Went to add this to my watch list and it’s already there lol, guess this is a sign to watch it now.
Factorio is proprietary software, Mindustry isn’t
The general absence of electric trains in factorio kills my immersion. Like yeah, they would make nuclear powered trains obsolete but overhead wire already makes that an insane proposition in real life.
There is a mod for that, https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ElectricTrains
You play as a dumb dumb who can’t comprehend electric trains
I like to think of it as even worse. It’s likely that the drivetrains themselves are already electric and just running on coal gas, oil, or nuclear power plants to electric like our current locomotive engines. You’re just too dumb to figure out how to wire your powergrid to them. It’s like the US cargo train situation in a nutshell.
