Automation and Factory Builder Games

396 readers

A community surrounding automation (e.g. The Farmer Was Replaced) and factory games (e.g. Factorio, Satisfactory).

Rules

  1. Please stay on-topic: post about automation and factory builder games. There is some wiggle room; there always is when it comes to game genres, but some things clearly do not fit (Pong, a post asking what car you should buy in real life) and will be removed.
  2. Don’t be a jerk. This covers bigotry and discrimination, which includes but is not limited to homophobia, racism, sexism, etc.
  3. Please don’t directly link to pirated content.
  4. When advertising something you have worked on (think your own automation game review website, or an automation game you have worked on), please use common sense for what is spammy. If there’s about four new posts here weekly, don’t post a progress update weekly—we don’t want self-promotion overwhelming the community. But finding new automation game creators is cool, so do post them here every once in awhile! I reserve the right to change this rule to be more specific about what exactly counts as spammy and what does not, but I feel I’ll know it when I see it and trust most posters to operate in good faith.
  5. Please indicate spoilers. The following format works on both Lemmy and Kbin, but if you are using an app it may not. See this comment for which apps handle spoilers. Note that spoilers in post bodies will just show the text in the preview if you link the post in, say, Discord, instead of spoiling it.

I had no idea it wasn't already 1.0, it already seemed plenty finished years ago. I'll have to check it again and see what's new.

This game and the first are both amazing. Definitely recommend if you're a fan of factory games at all. It dials up complexity pretty gradually, but not in a sense like Factorio. Anyway, yeah, it's a no brainer.
