Factorio also respects the player, no baby handling or restricting the player. Factorio also never wastes the players time. If anything is getting annoying or boring you can automate it and expand. This game has the absolute best core gameplay loop ive ever experienced. It has taken me about 192 hours of self learning stuff, but ive finally reached the endgame and launched a rockets. ive restarted many many many many many times, just know that restarting is not giving up, or meaning your time is wasted as you always learn something, every time i start over, ive learned a bit more, know how to do stuff a bit better, getting stuff done faster.

My first thought was "So, Fortresscraft Evolved minus Minecraft equals Factorio? That sounds even better." and immediately googled Factorio, went to their website, loved what I saw, and bought it.

As someone who has a few hundred ours in this game, I want to add another factor of the game. It's the long-term playability. Maybe you do two or three runs with the rocket as your goal.. but sooner or less you set yourself a bigger goal, like a set number of science packs per minute or a fully train based factory. Sooner or later you start planning your factory on the paper, making it 100 percent efficient and beautiful. You want to make everything bigger and bigger and bigger. In the factorio subreddit we say "the factory must grow" Also the concept of bottlenecks in this game prevent you from stopping. No matter what you produce, the production is limited by at least one factor, like belt througput, Ressource Input, Slowenien assembling machines or whatever . You notice this bottleneck and fix it, just to find another bottleneck. Then you need new iron refinery, therefor new train, therefore more fuel, more oil, it has no end and it keeps you playing.. Another point is the satisfaction the factory gives you. When you plan a production and you see it all working with the outgoing belts being 100 percent occupied by items, that's so satisfying.

I really like your point about the Lego/Minecraft castle. As I have built a massive Minecraft castle recently and slightly more recently I've rediscovered Factorio and played 70 hours in 2 weeks. I think your distinction is spot-on. Everything you do in Factorio provides input towards an overarching goal. One of my other main design takeaways from Factorio is the numerical meaning of all of these pieces. It feels that everything you build contributes to the existence of a bottleneck. Then that bottleneck must be fixed by building something else, and building that thing has now caused another bottleneck, this cycle repeats forever. The input/output ratios responsible for this couldn't have been an accident, I suspect a significant amount of fine-tuning was done to ensure that there is always a point in the factory that is under-served. This game is a masterclass in balance.

@ 0:33 "an then I looked at the time" Every Factorio player does this. Even after 5200 active hours of the game (my factories do not sit idling, you can always moar/faster/better something) I still get that feeling. Bonus points for hoe you use the game music. @4:13: error the goal of Factorio is to stop playing, You don't leave with that first rocket unless you do some VERY obscure and not obvious things that were put in the game as an easter egg. Many players feel that the first launch is only the mid game, you didn't even touch the impact that later systems (like rails and circuits) have on the game. then there's a scale shift. to REALLY get an idea of these kinds of play you should watch Xterminator or KathrineofSky, Then there's ColonelWill and MojoD on Twitch.

Well, the game was inspired by modded minecraft, where you also have resource generation, and automation challanges, but it improve so much on it. It is the concept of modded minecraft, but made into a separate game not limited, by minecraft's mechanics.

6:20 that doesn't diminish the minecraft/lego creation though, it doesn't NEED a function because the creation itself is enough, theres also the freedom to design something thats purely form > function or function > form (realistic looking castle or fantasy without regard for realistic design considerations) whereas with something like factorio you feel pressured to design only the most efficient assembly with little room for creativity, so the idea is to build more and more efficient and streamlined factories and assembly lines, slowly improving efficiency margin by margin, and that just doesn't sound as fun

6:06 Fun fact! Michal, aka Kovarex, originaly wanted Factorio to be a Minecraft mod based on IndustrialCraft. But because of MC's Poor performance he decided to make it it's own "drawer project" game, aka a nice and simple game for his personal entertainment. Fast forward few years and now it's *the second highest rated game of all time* on Steam!

@@Vaffeljerne I think the biters could have been done differently... they are very inept. My approach to the biters basically eliminated them as any threat, so I was left solely to focus on building. I will tell you if you want but unless you ask, I wont, so I dont spoil your game for you. Also in retrospect i wasnt totally accurate about the hours. The true first game I played I probably put 10-12 hours into experimenting with the basics, but somehow the steam cloud thing didnt record my game! So when I got back to my home I had nothing, and so I started over. It only took about 3 hours to rebuild from scratch what took 12 hours before. So it would be more accurate to say 70 or so hours to launch. I use the default settings for the world and took what it gave me. If you want to know how to eliminate the biters so you can get to work, let me know. Have fun!

@@Vaffeljerne 1 more thing... after I won.and then started watching vids and getting other peoples approach to the game it seems like many peoples approach is to build limited amounts of things and let the game run unattended, in order to amass the required resources. I did not do that. When I say 70 hours that means 70 hours of work. I was tweaking, building, and experimenting the whole time. Fair to say I got really obsessed with it.

@@bunberrier I watch a lot of videos from people, but I feel they only do boring stuff. I am playing in my own way. I saw some achievement of completing the game without laser turret, and one without solar panel and a third without active bufferchest or requester chest so I am doing all 3 of them at the same time. Well I tought I did untill I failed on both turret and solarpanals, because I play on train world. And that changes bitersettings witch is illegal for the achievemenst. So I failed thos when I hit play the first time. But I am still havent bulid a laser turret or solarpanal. I feel it makes it just to easy. In my world I build many bases to produce stuff. Many ''small'' ones connected by train. 1 base got 1 job. example produce inserters. They require 3 this witch mean I need 3 stations for trains to deliver stuff to the base. And one to exit. But how many inserters do I need?? Only consumed by Logistic science pack. (and better inserters). Not that many. Right? My inserter base produce 3 full belts of them, or 90 every second. (It will even be more when I can upgrade to expressbelts and better assembling machines). Every base is ''mass producing'' stuff. That is the fun with factorio. You can create HUGE factories. But that require alot of stuff right? Well then I build more mining bases. Larger scale smelting and feeding more and more coal into my boilers, then I need more power. then I build myself another coal mining base. (Yes, coal is the way to go (It is my way to play)) And the biters. my defence is 1 wall, then nothing, then gun turret, inserter and belt. It all went well untill Behemoths came. But they are stupid. So they destroy a gunturret, then they move to the next one right next to the ones they destroyed. Not moving into my base. just hitting defence. My bots will rebuild. From providerchest, with auto gets supplyes from my ammo train with brings inn ammo, belts, powerpole, repairkit, walls, inserters. Everyting the bots needs to rebuild. It is perfect. This is my way to play, and I love it

Seriously go try it! there's a free demo to play, but the demo only offers a fraction of what is possible with this game.

Even writing mods forFactorio is addicting due to their one-of-a-kind modding support. No other game has this. It's very close to Roblox in how modding goes so people who made Roblox games will know how to mod Factorio, but you still need to read the docs to really understand what's going on as Roblox uses Luau and Factorio uses Lua, but with custom libraries which is your main way of changing the behavior of the game with your mod. It's incredibly accomplishing when you just add a new technology and it finds its place automatically in the tech tree because the UI is beautiful.
