Factorio. Infinitely better than Minecraft. Check it nerds. * 1
    #20624266 - 09/27/14 02:21 AM (9 years, 4 months ago)

Factorio is a basebuilding game that combines a strong engineering bent with all the fun crafting aspects of Minecraft with an (imo) far superior set of visuals. You're the sole survivor of a crash landing on a hostile alien planet from a advance colonist ship. The goal is to build an infrastructure to support a future colony when the rest of your race come later. It's still in its alpha stage but for an alpha it's got more content and is far more polished than 95% of the finished product indie games I've played in the past as well as being far superior to all the other games in the same genre.

Edit: Factorio finally had its steam release and its reviews are frankly obscene. Out of 2,327 4,188 steam reviews only 13 31 of them have been negative.




https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/69327240/base.jpg Heres an (enormous 30MB) snapshot of an advanced players base...unfortunately my base is nowhere near this good....yet.


The devs have a free demo of the game that you can download from their site as well so you can try before you buy. They restrict the tech you can access to the fairly basic stuff but it's still far more than most devs offer these days. I downloaded the demo, played it for an hour or two and then immediately bought the alpha. Since buying it on Sunday I've sunk a solid 20 hours into it at least.

Multiplayer hasn't been implemented quite yet...but it'll be incorporated in the future :aweoverdose: Multiplayer has been implemented. It's not perfect but it's functional and steadily getting better.

Some of the people that have been playing Factorio for a long time now have disgustingly complex bases

Start out crawling from a crashed space ship with a stick, end up as some sort of xenocidal trainyard-operator/weapons expert running a supersystem of factories with more moving parts and sub-systems than a small city.  :idhitit:

Game is awesome. I got it like a week ago after it came out on steam and saw all the positive reviews. Trying to get some friends to play so I can try multiplayer.

Yup. It's far and away the highest rated game on Steam atm. Literally NOTHING else is close.

I believe Factorio has a PVP mode, but I haven't played it. I've only played the coop mode.

Yeah. I think the final release is in the next few months though. I just revived the thread after the initial Steam release.

:thumbup: for Factorio. Sweet game definitely better than minecraft. Been playing it on and off for like 12 or 18 months now, really like it a lot. Maybe I'm the only lazy one, but I always get logistic bots researched as fast as possible so I can keep my base super messy and not feel bad.


--------------------
The story goes, or the way that I was told
There was a king that always felt too high and then he fell too low
And so he called all the wise men to the hall
And begged them for a gift to end the rises and the falls
But here’s the thing, they came back with a ring
It was simple and was plainly unbefitting of a king
Engraved in black, it had no front or back
But there were words around the band that said
Just know: This Too Shall Pass

After fucking around with 4-5 different factories to learn the basics.. seeing my design was super inefficient for the long haul and then starting all over multiple times... 
I finally got the hang of things and started a halfway decent base in a custom map I made/edited
I can't take credit for the setups as I basically copied most of them from reddit or other places.. but it's pretty sweet so far.

Center is my mass of labs with green, red and blue potions all totally automated.
At the bottom is my massive oil processing plant (it goes even further down)
On top left I'm starting a red microchip > purple microchip > whatever farm



This is just a chunk of my base.. not pictured is most of the drills, my MASSIVE smelting farm.. all my power and turret setups, walls and whatnot.. I made a HUUUUGE area to build my base for massive expansion.

Game is fun as fuck.
