  • Nullius is a Factorio mod where you play as a Von Neumann Probe, landing on a barren planet and tasked to create life from basic elements before creating copies of yourself and sending them out across the universe to repeat the process elsewhere. It is without a doubt the most conceptually rich Factorio mod I've ever played, and probably the most intricately designed too.
    This is my entire 180 hour Nullius run edited down into a two and a half hour movie for your viewing pleasure. It is a supercut of the entire series which I produced over the course of about 4 months, and my overall time working on this project likely exceeded 300 hours so I hope you enjoy.

    Factorio is a game about building and creating automated factories to produce items of increasing complexity, within an infinite 2D world. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.
    In this Factorio prequel, you're an android terraforming planets and seeding them with life. This mod replaces all recipes and technology. No life means no coal, oil, wood, biters, or free oxygen, requiring varied renewable energy sources. For reliability, you'll focus on abundant elements from the air, sea, or common minerals such as iron ore, bauxite, sandstone, and limestone. Advanced technology enables asteroid mining of rarer elements.

    I just realized, the sand could be for making the molds to actually cast the pipes in.

      Sand around buried pipes for drainage. (And likely easier to get them to be nicely against the soil, as sand is more formable?) IIRC sand or gravel is commonly used when burying pipes irl, and nullius is pretty heavy on the "realistic" part :)

    When putting pipes underground, you generally want to put sand or gravel around them, for drainage... So it does make a lot of IRL sense actually :D

      If megabasing is more your style, Nullius isn't going to be very fun, it's got lots of annoying tangled recipe chains that make it hard to build at scale. I think you'd prefer something like Krastorio or Space Exploration.

    Was a mistake made programming the probes, or did someone deliberately set out to seed the galaxy with Biters? Maybe this is predicting a future where Factorio players, hungering for the most realistic mod possible, worked together to deploy Von Neumann probes and turn the entire galaxy into a giant game of Factorio?

Start small, focus on getting burner miners going, then starting up the power grid, then playing with assemblers, and so on. Eventually you'll be building rocket control units and researching the silo.
