Factorio Free Download Unfitgirl Rags-to-riches survival games are a dime a dozen these days, but Factorio’s wild ambition and open-ended format takes the potential for complexity up several notches. It starts you off as a spaceship crash survivor with only a pickaxe with which to explore its randomly generated 2D planets, but stick with it long enough and you can build all the way up to fighting aliens with tanks and creating manufacturing megastructures in seconds with a personal robot swarm. While it gets a little slow in certain places and its ultra-complex logistics chains can be overwhelming, the rewarding depth that can be extracted from its whirring conveyor belts and steam-belching power plants are worth the trouble. The most important thing to understand about Factorio is that it’s one of those games you probably won’t figure out how to play optimally through trial and error alone. My first couple of experimental factories ended up being such a mess that I decided it was better to simply abandon them and start over rather than trying to salvage the tangle of assembly lines and mining drills I had created before I understood some key tricks and common pitfalls. You’re best off doing your homework and reading wikis and watching tutorial videos, or bringing along a friend who knows what they’re doing in multiplayer, because Factorio won’t guide you away from frustrating disaster.

A massive technology tree

Everything from your astronaut to the heavy industrial equipment is drawn in a readable, colorful pixel art style, which cuts down on the overall stressfulness a lot. It’s usually very easy to see which buildings are making what, if they’re getting enough power, and where all of your supply lines are going. That said, the interface– like everything else – takes some getting used to. There are tons of hotkeys and keyboard shortcuts that let you perform important tasks quickly and precisely, but it took quite a bit of fumbling before hitting Z to manually feed items to a machine or shift-clicking to duplicate a factory’s output onto another became muscle memory. Progression can feel a bit tedious now and then, like when you realize your next level of science – which is “researched” by manufacturing different colored science units out of various materials – requires two products you don’t have, and each of those is made from two or more secondary products you also don’t have, which may even require you to seek out new raw resources far from your main base. And also you’re running out of copper again so you need to explore new areas of the map and build an outpost that can supply more to your main base. Trying to figure out what steps I needed to take and in what order could give me a slight headache, and there’s a fair amount of repetition involved in setting up a new supply line that works exactly like the previous ones but with a different extractor building.

But the satisfaction of getting everything working properly is a hell of a drug. What really saves Factorio from slipping into monotony are some key techs that can totally change the way you play, and they’re spaced nicely through the tree. Unlocking trains lets you ship large quantities of materials quickly over long distances on a schedule. Cars, and later tanks, give you personal mobility and a major combat advantage against this alien world’s single-minded insectoid inhabitants who resist your industrial revolution. And eventually, populating your base with autonomous drones will allow you to do things like move resources from extraction sites to refineries without a maze of conveyor belts, or even copy and paste large, multi-part structures for easy expansion. It’s one of those games that feels like it doesn’t even really start until you’re 20 or more hours in and have access to a lot of tools that make your life much easier. And even after more than 40, my most advanced factory still has a lot left to unlock. The map is sprawling enough to accommodate some truly magnificent and intricately designed manufacturing facilities – the only limit is what you can wrap your head around and your CPU finally saying enough is enough. You need to prevent your logistics puzzle from being smashed to bits by aliens Making little optimizations to save space and increase throughput isn’t all you’ll be concerned with, though

Training campaign

Nearly all of your machinery generates some pollution, even if you move completely to green energy, which will justifiably agitate these creepy crawlies if it reaches their habitats and cause them to attack in waves until your every creation is obliterated. Defending your bases with walls and turrets is viable, but I found it more exciting to take the fight to them and make sure there were no active nests anywhere near my base or outposts. The early enemies are pretty trivial, and you can plink away at them with a basic pistol effectively. But the longer you play on a given map, the more they’ll evolve new unit types. You need to keep up in the arms race by researching better guns, better armor, and unlocking military techs like tanks, artillery, and combat drones or you’ll eventually be overwhelmed. The clever interplay between the different enemy types makes taking down their bases a hectic challenge as you have to dodge acid-spitting worms and use the terrain or your own pre-built kill zones to avoid getting surrounded. Later techs, like modular power armor customizable with energy shields, personal drones, and more, slowly turn you into a futuristic superhero. If the default bugs aren’t challenging you enough, or you don’t want to deal with them at all, the map generator has tons of settings to customize your experience, too. Necromunda: Hired Gun

You can play on a peaceful map with lots of trees and water, a desolate death world that’s literally crawling with foes from the very beginning, or anything in between. And Wube Software did itself a favor by making Factorio extensively moddable: tons of add-ons are available already from the lengthy early access period to give you an even more control over your set-up or add new techs and extra quality-of-life features. Let’s skip the preamble, shall we? Factorio is brilliant. If you’re remotely interested in games about management, construction, and above all production chains, then hop aboard the nearest conveyor belt and grab yourself a copy of Factorio this instant. Then pick up another copy for the most important person in your life, because they won’t be seeing you for a while, and at least this way they’ll understand why. Factorio starts out as all great works of fiction do, with a huge explosion. That would be your spaceship crashing onto a remote alien planet, and the only way off that far-flung rock is to build yourself a whole new rocket. Oops. Luckily, you happen to be the handiest person in the entire universe, able to fashion almost anything with little more than spit and elbow grease. Whether it’s a stone furnace, a steam engine, or an oil refinery, give your little protagonist the ingredients, and they’ll slap it together like a two-piece jigsaw.

Huge success already

Yet while your character can craft most in-game objects themselves, the quantities they require makes this approach prohibitive. It’s not just the rocket you need to build. Everything you need to design, manufacture, calibrate and fuel the rocket needs constructing as well. As a simple example (by Factorio’s standards) you’re going to need to produce electronics. This means you need the capability to mine and smelt metals, specifically iron and copper. In turn, this requires equipment for mining and smelting metals. You need to smelt copper ore into copper plate, turn copper plate into copper wire, and combine copper wire with iron plates to create basic electronic circuits. Every object in Factorio’s world needs similar treatment, each more complex and involved than the last. The solution to this gargantuan problem is automation, and that is the crux of Factorio’s play. Rather than building tools and structures yourself, you instead build processes, establishing production chains and assembly lines so all the hard work is done for you. The ways you can do this in Factorio vary, but at their core assembly lines require three key features—transport belts, assemblers, and inserters. Transport belts, as you can probably guess, convey resources and items from A to B. Assemblers assemble items from component parts, and inserters connect the two, shovelling resources into assemblers, or depositing new items from assemblers back onto conveyor belts. Need for Speed Heat

(Inserters do far more than this, as it happens, but let’s keep things straightforward for now). Returning to the example of electronic circuits, you can create and assemble copper wire and iron plates in one of several ways. You could create a closed system that assembles those resources specifically for the circuits, complete with bespoke furnaces for smelting copper and iron ore into plates, and a second assembler for the copper wire. Alternatively you could create separate production chains specifically for those components, before transporting them to the assembler that produces circuits. In this way, Factorio’s elaborate, open-ended, and utterly engrossing puzzle begins to spin its steel spiderweb through your skull. If you establish a general purpose-conveyor that ferries base resources throughout your factory (known by the community as a “bus”), then you need to figure out how to retrieve the specific items each assembly line needs from that bus, while also ensuring a consistent flow of resources to all those assembly lines. Bear in mind, every single item in the game can and probably should be automated for production, including the items you need to build the assembly lines in the first place. I was into Factorio within five minutes, but the moment it truly ‘clicked’ for me was when I established an assembly line dedicated to building assemblers.

And this barely scratches the surface of Factorio’s chasmal depth. Many mid-tier objects require water as part of their construction, which means building pipelines to your assemblers as well as conveyors. Oil processing is a game in and of itself, as you need to locate deposits on the map, then build refineries to crack the crude oil into its component liquids, all of which are produced in different amounts and must be transported and stored individually. Raw materials are limited and will eventually run out, meaning you need to locate new mineral deposits and expand your factory to take advantage of them, deploying new transportation methods like trains and even drones to acquire them more efficiently. On and on Factorio goes, with you a mechanical Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole of automation. Eventually your factory will become so elaborate that you’ll forget what half your assembly lines are making. If I’m making Factorio sound enormously complex, it is, but it layers that complexity in such a way that you’re graded into it, and as such it never feels impenetrable or off-putting, even for someone like me who couldn’t hang a picture straight. At some point you’ll zoom-out to get a better lay of the land, and think to yourself “Wait, I built that?!”.Factorio has been in early access for four years, so most of its creases have been ironed out. There are some minor flaws.
