FUE5 Trailer

FUE5 is a fan-made project we've been working on with my friend Nuke for the past 5 months. Its goal is to see what would Factorio look like and behave in 3D. This project is a 3D visualization environment which is able to import bases from the Factorio game and seemingly replicate their behavior. It contains no gameplay, however you can fly around and visit your base in 3D.

After all, The Factory Must Grow.

Anybody else suddenly want to see a Factorio movie? The quality on this was high enough I'd watch it as a feature length film already!

[@1986DarkStalker]

A movie about a dude being constantly confused and trying to respond to a million problems at once?

[@IraDiaboIi]

there was a book series loosely inspired by factorio called The Factory Core, it was alright.

[@Harregarre]

Yeah, but realistically speaking it wouldn't be anything like this video. If they do make a movie it should focus on the lore, so it's definitely not going to be as "factory"-focused. Problem is then, how much is it still about Factorio and not a generic humans colonizing planets and setting up resource extraction movie?

[@MorganSaph]

​@@Harregarre I think a movie where the Engineer has recently expanded to a new continent, except the continent is a death world. Biter bases are far away so they can't be seen, but entire armies of biters come and ruin the new factory. Worse, the previous factory? Special biters have burrowed through the ground, going under your defenses, tearing it apart. This new death world factory is under siege and the hope left. Only way out is to prevent the reactor from melting down, activating defenses (or repairing a roboport so bots can fix defenses. Or maybe activate and being mass-production of prototype attack bots) and basically just buying time until a rocket can finish being built. It ends with the rocket blasting off into space as the world darkens (I'm imaging something like how the Zerg corrupt a planet in Starcraft 2). Basically, the biters win, because they can burrow underneath base defenses, but you still build a rocket and get offworld

From the github description it reads that loading your own factories is possible, using it as a 3D factory viewer basically. I'd love to see those insane megafactories from the community with this project!

[@egullSZ]

Well they’ve already done the hard part of making the world

[@BalthazarB2]

​@@egullSZ No, the hard part is the gameplay, it's what makes Factorio what it is. There's a reason the game is in 2D. This looks great, but it has no practical use.

[@egullSZ]

@@BalthazarB2 I’d argue that the hard part about factorio is the mechanics and math behind every entity and machine and how they can change throughout the playthrough. That being said, they have factorio to use as a paradigm, they’re really just gonna be copying an already great game and turning it 3D

The closest thing you can get is Satisfactory, which is gonna be upgraded to UE5 in the next update. :)

[@rgcountdown]

It's cool from an animation standpoint for sure. I love what you have done here. Satisfactory for sure fulfills this dream, as it looks and feels like this and is in UE5.

[@Puschit1]

But it plays nothing like Factorio. Last time I checked the Satisfactory guys also don't want to be like Factorio, basically they are like "Factorio has enemies? So we won't have that because we are different". And they are right, something as complex as Factorio can't be done in a 3D game - it will always be more Fortnite than Factorio.

[@brohvakiindova4452]

@@Puschit1 I'd argue Satisfactory devs simply got their priorities wrong. For example people were asking for blueprints from day one. When they implemented blueprints it was in a very restrictive way. First you can only blueprint arguably tiny spaces because it's in a machine. Second you unlock said machine on (I think) Tier 5 or 6 so every smart design you came up with to get to that point you'd have to rebuild painfully within said confined space but you obviously didn't always keep that in mind so some designs simply won't fit / need to be split up etc. And their explanation for such shortfalls? "It would make the game too easy/ The game engine would be maxed out by players building too many structures" Quite frankly put I find this ridiculous. People still built megafactories without any QoL updates from early on. The thing that keeps the game back the most is how tedious building is. Almost every QoL update that introduces something convenient comes with a "ok but this is less than ideal / ok but this isn't working that great" The game is filled with mechanics that hinder having fun. I still enjoy the game but I strongly disapprove of their design choices. Modders added tons of really great tools that work better than what the devs did.

​@@NathanTheDwarvenShark "I'd" is a contraction of "I would" and as we all know "would" is a subjunctive mood of the verb "will" used in English for a lack of a proper conditional or potential tense to express hypothetical actions taken if a certain scenario were to occur. In this case the OC will gladly pay up to 100 USD, IF AND ONLY IF, the creators of this visualization could (another conditional) make a game out of it. Don't worry, reading is hard...even in your native tongue English, the most mind-numbingly simple language for simpletons.

[@robinhood5627]

For one glorious second I thought "Could this be the project the factorio devs were working on in one of their last dev blogs?" Then I read the description and died inside. This would be one of the greatest games ever made if it was real. I have over 2000 hours in factorio as it is, and if they released factorio 2 looking like this it would be worth all the monies to me. Good job on the video guys looks incredible but it was also heartbreaking at the same time.

[@AramisUA]

I think it's nearly impossible to optimize 3d factorio to have the same level of smoothness, as the 2d. Maybe in 10-15 years, when the quantum computers will become widespread.

Have you tried Satisfactory?

[@robinhood5627]

@@THEfogVAULT Yes! Great game I love it! but it's not quite this ^ I feel satisfactory needs a lot more complexity added to it, more building types, more base materials to be mined or pumped, and more chemistry and a more realistic nuclear processing chain and well I could go on a lot it's limitations. But yes it is still an exceptional game! and very gorgeous to play in. But I love the staggering complexity of factorio.
