Now they just need a Factory to create more Factories and they…
I apologize, this is Factorio, not Java.
But that’s literally what you do, you build a starter factory to help you build a mid tier research factory which can then help you build a proper factory that can support megascale production
some people use the logic gates in the game to create basic computers to automate expansion
But can it run DOOM?

I want to try factorio but I’m afraid I’ll get hooked
I cannot stress this enough if you’re remotely worried you’d get addicted you definitely should NOT play. I used to do opioids and I’m not exaggerating this game was more addictive for me. Like lose your job addictive. I’m adhd and on the ASD and absolutely obsessed with the concept of optimization. The thing is you’ll never really reach peak automation unless you do like this project, 400 people 10,000s of hours.
I’ll give you another reference point. I’ve also played wow, Arma Life, and Foxhole, all very common addicting games. I’d sit down to play one of those with a beer and after a ~3-5 hours and a few beers I’d take a break and notice time went by. Factorio I’d sit down at 6pm and never touch my beer, never move an inch from my seat and think a few hours went by when it’s now 8am and I only notice 14 hours went by because I see fucking sun light.
Fuck this video really makes me wanna play again haha.
As someone with a large capacity for addiction and medicated ADHD, thank you for this warning.
Sometimes, it’s easy to be lulled into a sense of wellbeing, only to fall headfirst into a hyperactive episode on some seemingly innocuous hobby or game.
I’d rather obsess over a productive self-interest if I’m going to lose sleep over it
Sounds like your average civilization game, to be honest. Freakishly addictive
Fuck I gotta play it
Just don’t start it in the evening. You will lose your whole night.
And don’t start in the morning or you’ll lose your whole day
You know what, just forget the whole thing!
That’s what backup saves are for
Nothing like thinking “I’ll just play for 1/2 an hour, then have breakfast.” Next thing you know, the wife is coming in, and you’re still in your pajamas, having not eaten at all.
And then whole night too
Don’t worry, you can’t craft hooks in Factorio.
With mods you can! More specifically, a grappling hook!
Just watch out for that train
be very afraid
Last time I played it was in college. I tried it out, and played my first game while relaxing before bed at 10:00 PM. I never ended up going to bed, and only realized I played all night when I heard my roommate making breakfast at 8:00 the next morning. I ended up uninstalling after the next time I played it, the same thing happened. After uninstalling it I was still thinking about optimization.
This game is too addictive. Calling it cracktorio is absolutely accurate.
I know we all joke about this being a cult, but…
Someone build a giant throne in the middle of this thing, I think I know what needs to be done.
I think I know what needs to be done too but… How are we going to get Emma Watson’s shoes?
I’m pretty sure Quentin Tarantino would be down to help.
The same way we do every night, Pinkie.
I tried to build someone on one the nodes but it was torn down because I wasn’t using a fully balanced ups efficient design.
Its cool going on there and seeing how fast the bots and miners work. The bots telephone around.
The general absence of electric trains in factorio kills my immersion. Like yeah, they would make nuclear powered trains obsolete but overhead wire already makes that an insane proposition in real life.
It’s because they don’t want to trivialize the refueling puzzle part of the game.
There is a mod for that, https://mods.factorio.com/mod/ElectricTrains
There’s a mod for electric trains. Actually there are several.
kills my immersion
Bruh the game is not trying to immerse you it’s a puzzle.
I’m glad I was able to immerse you in the seriousness of my opinion.
I’m currently using space trains, along with the space exploration mod. The trains run on batteries, and they are blazingly fast. I easily lose track of them through my orbital rail grid.
You play as a dumb dumb who can’t comprehend electric trains
I like to think of it as even worse. It’s likely that the drivetrains themselves are already electric and just running on coal gas, oil, or nuclear power plants to electric like our current locomotive engines. You’re just too dumb to figure out how to wire your powergrid to them. It’s like the US cargo train situation in a nutshell.
There are mods for that, plus some overhauls like Krastorio 2 add nuclear trains
Seems like it could just scale, why would it take hundreds of players? For the joint computing power?
Yeah they’re going way beyond what a single game session can handle. ~500GB of RAM combined!
My server has about a quarter of that!
but an ancient shitty cpu and also it’s DDR3
RTFA (yes)
If they managed to do it without OP mods like what the previous 1mspm run was, nice
based god factory
All hail
The God factory must grow
Factorio is proprietary software, Mindustry isn’t
It’s also just a game. No one needs it to be productive.
Edit, ok actually looked at Mindustry. It looks fun, but it’s also nothing like Factorio. Don’t know why you brought it up.
Besides, even if Factorio isn’t open source, it is available for Linux as a DMR free download. We should be supporting it.
Open source is more important for productivity software. Servers, Office Suites, Graphics and Game Engines. The game itself isn’t as important for opensource, as a game company changing the play mechanics wont effect someone’s income.
I might’ve missed it, but what’s that got to do with the article?
I spend too much time on lemmy: I immediately assumed your comment was a meta-joke about lemmy, since every post about a software has a comment about its foss analogue. But now I’m unsure whether you were serious or not. Anyway it made me lol.
lol
Entertainment doesn’t need to be FOSS lol. In fact it usually doesn’t make any sense to.
