There is no market in factorio and supplies are produced at nice constant rates.
It’s pretty much the exact opposite of supply chain management because the supply chain behaves perfectly. There is no uncertainty.
- ShamelessC 5y agoI think the analogy for the entropy introduced by a "market" is just the player's attention span and long-term planning skills. In a beginner-intermediate session, the player can and will have highly variable production rates due to an inability to grok the complexity of what they have built. It's of course very similar to programming in that way. I agree that the game is not trying to be a market simulator however.
