Agreed. I'm surprised Factorio hasn't surfaced more frequently on HN. The game's automation play is just as addictive and creative, and it runs on Mac and Linux

- j9461701 9y agoThe people who have found Factorio have yet to come back from playing Factorio. Their children miss them.
- simonbarker87 9y agoSo true, I spent about 150 hours on that game in 2 months and apparently that's pretty light compared to a lot of people (probably explained by me not being a gamer and this being the only game I've completed in the last decade other that Leo's Fortune), I launched a rocket and have since uninstalled it. Fortunately I found the latter stage of the game such a trudge that I've got little inclination to go back to it - although I think 0.15 will solve many of my gripes so I'm avoiding reading about it for now. Factorio is nicknamed Cracktorio for a reason :-(
- DiabloD3 9y agoFactorio has murdered as many hours of my time as OpenTTD has. What is this "outside world" you speak of?
- TeMPOraL 9y agoI've seen it mentioned at times, usually in discussions around Minecraft or Dwarf Fortress. Factorio definitely scratches a geek itch, but KSP has one advantage - Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaceeee!
