I've consciously decided not to buy Factorio because I know that would be my favourite thing for months, if not years to come and it would distract me from my duties.
- Viker 6y agoFactorio takes me around 250 hours every two years. It's not an avarage but in a burst
- exdsq 6y agoI got into shmups and sports games for this reason - much easier to jump in and out of
- why_Mr_Anderson 6y agoThere is a reason why those hopelessly addicted to it call it Cracktorio :)
- me_me_me 6y agoI find it similar to Civilization one more turn syndrome. There is always something small you meant to do, one more improvements that will take only a min... suddenly you hear birds singing outside... its 4am... Never again.
- ineedasername 6y agoYes I had the same feeling, although in Civilization there were at least discrete turns. Each one presents a logical stopping point. Factorio just keeps going, there is never a logical stopping point because there is always a resource bottleneck to solve. I remember staying up late for Civ, but I never (almost) completely skipped sleep all together & blew off other commitments.
- BiteCode_dev 6y agoI tried factorio for 5 minutes. Because of the sleep deprivation I felt the day after, I decided it was cocaine and dumped it. "Factorio is a great cure" my butt.
- Ancapistani 6y ago> I tried factorio for 5 minutes. > sleep deprivation I felt the day after Yep. I've had a more than my share of "five minute" gaming sessions like that :)
- dagw 6y agoI recently started playing Factorio and had to introduce 'rules' that I'm only allowed to play on Fridays and Saturdays.
- datameta 6y agoSWIM has rules like this for a certain popular non-alcohol substance. So your comment alone would tell me all I need to know about the nature of the pull of this game.
