Factorio Review

Factorio 1.0 has hit, and after playing it on and off in early access I've come to play it again. Big surprise, it's still dangerously addictive. Help.

I've started working as a programmer qnd to my horror i realised that my factorio habits have carried over: just last week i was planning on just maybe staying until 18:30 or so rather than the usual 17:30 to finish optimising and redoing some function - i went home at 23:00, and only after somebody came by to pull me out of my zone - because employees are literally not allowed to stay past that hour without being personally granted specific permission to do so from the branch manager themselves (or higher).

@The Xenomorphian it's close to that. If you know what the Rat underhive tribe is you can skip the next paragraph They are a tribe in the underhive from which I forgot the name, and worship the hive itself as a god, and entities they name "the spirits of the hive". They are normally pascifist (as pascifist as under-hive dwellers can be) and will not attack anyone, except if they go into specific sanctuary they consider as sacred. Those sanctuary are archeo-tech caches. They worship the ancien tech, and believe it is related to the spirits they also worship, those techs seem to give strange powers to their shamans too. So, basicly, the Mechanicum (the pre-Horus Heresy Mechanicus) was born this way if I recall. Peoples didn't have the science to understand the tech on mars anymore. For them, it was magic, holy magic. The scattered cults united into one religion, which became the cult of the Machine God that we know of.

[@pengmaeda9908]

My first game's factory was surprisingly small, simple, and very spread out. This was an absolutely horrible mistake as it was also incredibly inefficient. Finally got to playing a 2nd game after a couple years, my first base was ok, but I was having issues mass producing piercing rounds as I was going for the Raining Bullets achievement, so wanted to make sure I had a dependable supply for a long time. Made a new base a bit to the west, with its own source of Iron and Copper, first dedicated that factory to bullets and other weaponry foremost. Then 10 hours later it was my new home, and my old base was made completely obsolete in producing anything except bullets and mall type items. For my new base I tried to start it with a main bus system, 5 mintues later the buses had at least 5 different turns and the whole place became spaghetti central. And thats how I know I am a true Factorio player now.

The music actually gets briefly quieter when the left labs run out of resources, but gets back to the normal volume once they start working again. And the volume they make is panned to the left. This is why Mandalore videos are always worth the wait, the amount of attention to detail is on another level.
