  • Factorio never particularly struck me as a game I’d be too interested in. Boy was I wrong.
    In this video I'll talk about what initially drew me in, what kept me playing and how Factorio deserves it's #2 rank on Steam for top rated games.

    Very good review! Coming from a hardcore 90s gamer: Factorio has become my favorite game of all time. Surpassing any classic or modern title, at least for me. I did everything in my 1200+ hrs. All achievements, multiplayer megabasses, lots and lots of mods. And still, I keep returning to it. It's such a repeatable and satisfying game.

  • @caementicium284
    @caementicium284 6 років тому +110

    Must... contain... factory design... criticisms...
    When I typed out what was supposed to be a few lines of advocacy for the game that turned into a short review in your news video, I didn't even consider the general atmosphere of the game to be a selling point. I don't morally condemn the actions of the player, but the themes are pretty fascinating.
    The unified alien mind's attempts at excising the blight of industry from the surface of the planet somewhat evokes memories of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri, which is something that can never be a negative thing.
    The way isolation and external threat are handled feels really nice as well. In minecraft or something you're able to place down something that will keep a single border safe indefinitely. The way you're constantly having to expand operations, defend them, supply the defenses and thus expand again is pretty unique. You're pretty damn safe in the middle of your factory. But if you rest on your laurels the ammunition plant will run out of input, or the turbines powering your laser turrets will slow. So in a game where you can absolutely make an impenetrable fortress, you still never lose sight of the necessity of braving the hostile environment always lurking just outside your walls.
    Hell you can even see it as commentary regarding the co-dependence between mankind and their tools. Without us they wouldn't exist, and we in turn can't imagine existence without them.

  • @aortaheart1910
    @aortaheart1910 6 років тому +64

    Factorio is definitely one of my most treasured games of all time, and doubles as one of my fears, as this game seems to be nothing short of a time machine. I strongly recommend having a highly visible digital clock next to you in order to not lose track of time-- there is always those few things that you want to attend to, and those spiral from what pose as 5 minute activities to several-hour-long affairs. Becoming austerely addicted does not happen to everyone, but it should be considered as a possibility, as many other players may tell you. I, for one, racked up nearly 500 hours in my first month before I seriously started to grit my teeth and wean myself off the so-called Cracktorio.
    The addictiveness of Factorio is sourced from its great composition and replayability. The centerpiece of the entire affair, the factory, caters to a wide range of build styles. To put this into context, the extremes of the spectrum has the player who does virtually no planning and just does whatever seems most immediately convenient as he/she progresses on one end, with the player who strives ceaselessly for the most efficient factory possible on the other end. Those who pick up the game can use whatever aspects of those extremes to whatever extents they wish. The game additionally offers further playstyle customizations with many game generation settings, as well as active native support for mods, a rabbit hole too deep to touch carelessly.
    Another source of the game's replayability lies in countless different nuances that you learn of while experiencing the game, and they range from merely being slightly obscure optimizations you can make to your factory to difficult to describe "feelings" of how to approach making your factory (though the latter tends to be subjective in what you "feel").
    There is so much more that could be discussed, but I fear that I may lose myself in the process.

Never have I had so much fun in making huge, laborious, satisfying machines that devour hundreds of tons of material every second and change it into something else. I just love everything about this game, and I love how you can make factories that look like computer chips with all the belts and machines and all that.
    Truely, if I had known how much I was going to love factorio, I would've paid well over $20 for it. I love it so much.

    Remember buying this game off of their website a long time ago. I had so much time played on those versions. I have 1000+ hours in the steam version. I would say that even with that much time I still have much to learn. It is a game I couldn't rate any higher. If you don't have it, buy it.

    This is a great review of the game. In terms of hours spent playing versus the cost, it is well worth the money. One aspect the video does not touch on is the amount of mods that are available to add even more dimensions to the game play. There are also plenty of UA-cam channels devoted to game play so any answer you need can be found in a few minutes. I hope you decide to play this game and you will understand what it really means for time to fly by.

    for all who want to get into factorio, as beginner, try watch lets plays, and do just as they do, build the same things, the same places.
    Thats how i started, and today i got more than 1000 hours in the game.
    And compleate all achievements, which for me seem unreal at the beginning.

    • @tso4569
      @tso4569 6 років тому +3

      While yes, you should look up lets plays, Etc. You shouldn't copy other peoples designs (In my opinion at least), it leads to a players lack of creativity and critical thinking which is so valued in this game.

  • @shadeling6717
    @shadeling6717 6 років тому

    Another good thing about this game is the Developers are extremely active with the community doing weekly Friday messages. For an Early access game this is simply fantastic knowing the developers are actively working on improving the game and it won't be abandonware.

  • @pauljs75

    Multiplayer has it's particular fun.
    Right now I tend to be the one chasing resource production because everyone else just wants to rush to late
    game stuff and huge output buses despite the numbers not being close to there yet.
    So they're chasing burners or upgrades wondering why there's not moar metal for heavy factory layouts, meanwhile the miners are barely even churning because both the power production and coal is running out.
    It's also fun when people insist on super-packing miners, when those pick up everything from all the surrounding blue tiles prior to placing. Over-complicates when it's not really that necessary, and you have a big enough deposit with the yield needed to cover production. Those other layouts are a lot slower to put down until you've got at least modular armor with a roboport and bots running to place them, and the slight bump in production due to density only makes sense later in the game anyways.
    Another odd thing is some people specifically insist on centralized production. (Fortunately it's not too often. They seem on the more extreme end of OCD.) A bit of a PITA when you're working out in Timbuktu, and need to throw burners and a few factories at a nearby deposit just so you're not wasting most of the time running for parts and materials. And then they come dancing along and picking up those things you needed nearby. (Admittedly one could use a car as a portable chest. But the annoying hair-off steering thing just means you're not able to stay in a straight line to avoid trees despite having established paths.)
    Admittedly I have my faults too. I kind of derp out on ratios (prefer to get some things running and sort it out later), and tend not to use blueprints unless I understand what the hell is going on in them. Some might consider that a problem when you're still much closer to the noob end of the players out there.
    And despite all that, multi has it's own particular attraction. I guess it's teaming up to go raise some hell among the biter nests, or having people take care of different things that they prefer doing.

    I also love factorio in particular PvP which I play regularly with friends. In PvP not only must you build large factories but you must also be extremely compact and efficient as well as invest in a lot more combat assets than you normally would. The fear of an attack at any moment can leave you sitting up on edge, all your hard work can be destroyed with just a few well placed grenades if they break through your defenses. Factorio isn't just a good game, it is one of my favorite of all time.

    • @Ghorda9

    • @Blewlongmun
      @Blewlongmun 6 років тому +7

      "Early access" for the devs essentially means not 100% perfect, it's ridiculously well made and early access isn't even notable when playing.

    • @RoyalFusilier
      @RoyalFusilier 6 років тому +3

      It's already better than nearly all 'complete' experiences as it is now, and it continues to improve. That's the standard I apply to an Early Access title; is it worth the price, literally at this instant? If so, grab it, and if it gets even better, then all the better.

    • @chaddaifouche536
      @chaddaifouche536 6 років тому +3

      This game is "Early Access" in the sense that it still doesn't perfectly reflect the vision of the devs (at least they think so) and can still be polished.
      It isn't "Early Access" in the sense that it would be an incomplete and limited experience that would leave you unsatisfied as can attest the tons of players that have been playing it for thousands (!!) of hours.
      It isn't "Early Access" because of bugs either, the "stable" version are incredibly solid for games, many many "finished" AAA or indie games are bug riddled pieces of crap compared to Factorio.
      I would say it only stayed in Early Access because of the devs perfectionism, they could have labelled the 0.12 version as 1.0 years ago without shame compared to most other games.

    • @dragonpc8258
      @dragonpc8258 6 років тому

      It's going to stay in Early Access until they get the fluid dynamics fixed, which they have tried many times but have not gotten it to work the way they want it too. (the key point here is "the way 'THEY' want it too.")

    I can say that getting tgis game now will be at your best interest. The devs are shooting to make the base game solid and bug free before release. The devs love their modded community and if there is something not in the base game someone has a mod for it. Want more complexity? Theres a mod for that. Want to go to space after your first rocket launch? Theres a mod for that. I will love this game forever. Bought 10 months ago and have 960 hours, and still love it!

  • @LunnarisLP
    @LunnarisLP 5 років тому

    I just wanna say, that the game gets INSANELY more interesting with mods. Industrial revolution makes the game more challenging, since you have to take care of your defense much more, since the pollution is higher. You have to redesign stuff, as you progress through the ages, starting with just tin and copper. Other mods add a huge amount of content. One could say they make the game more complex, but for me they just make the game much more diverse and give me new stuff to discover, once I have figured out all the stuff. They aren't just new maps or small changes either, but offer basically a completely new experience. Often you hear people say 'Ah I wish I could play game xyz as a new player who never played it before'. In factory with different mods you get exactly this feeling. Imagine playing Pokemon for the first time. Every new pokemon game will cost you a lot of money, and while the core mechanics are the same, you have a new game experience.
    Factorio Mods feel like the same to me. They offer a completely new experience, yet here you don't have to pay a thing for them.

    Nice work, great review for a great game. Its a game that will always leave you wanting to spend more time playing and Factorio will devour all time spent in and out side of it as your mind constantly goes over things you want and need to do even thinking of how to make things function better when already things function well. Dreams of gears and other components are a given and before you know it you'll be left satisfied the game you purchased not only gives you so much fun and satisfaction but is a game you will return to with little to no problems when taking breaks from it.

      Me too, I keep restarting games or generating new maps because I like the building phase and trying to do things better. That said, my current game is the biggest base I've made and I'm up to about 50 satellites launched, trying to scale up to "mega-base". Still a long way to go because I don't use other people's designs. Designing your own stuff is half the fun.

    This sat in my wishlist for so long. I was bored one night, decided to bite the bullet, cause Steam has a good refund policy if you don't like a game. Nearly 100 hours later, I have a love/hate relationship with it. What I love about it is the constant optimisation of your processes, and just watching everything come together. Alas, that is what I also hate about it, as I spend so much time with my character stood still, while I rack my brain trying to figure out how the buggery to get everything where it needs to be.
    This game is crack in a digital form. But I love it, and forsee hundreds more hours of sitting around scratching my head.

    This game is amazing, I just wish I had more time to play it, it is so time consuming although that's kind of down to my play style too... speaking of which make sure to book a CBT therapist before you even start playing, I discovered OCD's I never knew I had hahaha... at first you're fairly satisfied with the way you do things but after a while you start getting picky and start to do things efficiently and in certain manners that will fit better to the over all design of the factory and since your factory is always going to be evolving as you play you have this constant cycle of trying to improve things, it's definitely triggering some vague OCD's I seem to have and driving me up the wall when I can't figure out a way to do something to my satisfaction.

      Placing an massive blueprint and watching the robot army to build it in 30 seconds is amazing. Also if you are into mods you can get recursive blueprints and automate the building process itself. When you fire off the first rocket it says it ended. But it is far from that. Next goal is increasing the speed of production to send more rockets. There are builds that can send 1 rockets per minute out there my current is able to send one in 45 minutes. Compare that
