Factorio is impressive in what people think of it after playing. People seem to either have no interest in it and don't buy it in the first place, or, more likely, seem to absolutely love the game after buying.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Well Factorio is this weird "Eggman" simulator where you build your sprawling machine empire while fending from the silly locals who get progressively more angry at you polluting the planet.

it's a min maxers paradise and lets you build enormous complexes without the limitations you get in minecraft.

So apparently this is the highest rated game on Steam now.

As Alway reassured me, when I switched to Endless and (because I'm a filthy scrub) enabled Peaceful mode, it is quite fun. I should probably enable the biters because they are an important part of progression & automation, according to adwarf, buuuuut....

peaceful doesn't disable biters, only biters attack, for progression you're fine as the alien artifacts only drop from nests anyway

if you wish a more relaxed play style you can check out my other mod

https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=87&t=6433

it's a middle ground between paceful and biter progressing that is tied to your pollution level and not to time, so you don't get the pressure to ramp up early and have to keep ahead of enemies

If and when I restart or decide to enable biter attacks, I'll install that mod!

by that time they would already have an evolution factor too high, they get stronger and better over time and this mod only disable growth, doesn't change what's already there

Why did I forgot about this game? Now it's on Steam and it's 20€ instead of the 12.50€ when I found out about it here (I even bookmarked their page) Well, silly me! I got it now anyway, hurray!

This pleases me. Also look at Stardew Valley at #6. It has been a good time for games lately.

How many sales compared to the people that already bought and have experience and have still hung on through development and got a Steam key out of it?

I'm waiting on the Steam multiplayer support. As it stands, I can't connect to my friend at all. Sure, I could use hamachi, but that hinges on it deciding to cooperate which it has yet to do.

That will come in 0.13, but it will take months.

In the meantime my singleplayer endless game's going pretty well, given it's only my second one and my first lasted 2 hours. The main issue I've reached is electricity, really. I need something better than the steam engines and solar panels I presently have.

Yeah, it's a pain that harkens back to the early 2000s... but it will work if you port forward UDP port 34197.

Either build more of both, or rearrange them to be more efficient I guess. (Or remove some radars if they're running, that'll free up some power)
