Hi all, discovered factorio the other day,its not the prettiest of games but it's quite addictive, it's still in Alpha but it's quite stable.


Factorio is a 2D game about building factories on an alien planet.

You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting alien enemies. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, apply management skills to keep it working and finally show your close combat skills in encounters with planet inhabitants who don't really like you.






Free demo available : http://www.factorio.com/

Pretty good for less than a tenner :)

Spend a few hours on the demo the other night, might have to get this.
 
Looking good Qlimax , I'll have to get some screenies up of my map ts gigantic
 
Looks pretty compact, mine is spread all over the place now, it's got to the point where I just don't know what to do next.

The map should give you a idea of the scale of my factory, I'm represented on the map by the little green dot to the left of the power plant, the lighter area around me is all I can see on my screen at any one time when I'm fully zoomed out. The other two lighter areas are radar dishes. As you can see on the map my power plant is huge but it has to be to keep up with the power demand. I've got 1700 solar panels that can easily provide 100% of my power during the day. At night steam engines and accumulators provide the power.

My last game save had around 280 hours played on it, I've started another single player game now. I've not tried multi player but I'm tempted now.
