Factorio or Rimworld?

Cadder · 28 Nov 2020 at 20:39

I'm curious as to how good Rimworld is.

I've put many hours into Factorio. Now on my 3rd build after making my first two extremely massive and inefficient messes.

I keep seeing references to Rimworld. How good/addictive is it? If Factorio sucked me in straight away will Rimworld do the same?

Satisfactory

Satisfactory is a little bit like a 3D factorio, with added crack cocaine that makes you dream of factories.

Rimworld is fantastic and really easy to get into. You start with a little colony and basically just try to survive. The end goal is to "get off the planet", I've got 120hrs in and never left the planet haha! There is a sort of story system within rimworld and you start to get attached to your little people!

I don't remember rimworld being like factorio tbh. Satisfactory is similar. Have you tried mods for factorio?

or Amazing Cultivation Simulator ? new one on steam getting very positive reviews¬! Similar to Rimworld ?

Satisfactory isn't anywhere near as good as factiro imo. Factiro is just more. Both games are ridiculously addicitivd though!

One for the "men of culture" by the look of things? I daren't play Factorio because of how horribly addicted some friends got, but love Rimworld and have completed 3 full runs and thinking about another.

I couldn't find a demo for Rimworld. Is there a way to play without all the psychic stuff?

Don't buy or if you already did then unload the DLC.

Ah OK is it an add-on feature?

Yeah it's part of the Royalty DLC. It's the main reason why I haven't bought it.

Rimworld??

Cadder · 29 Nov 2020 at 23:12

Ah great cheers. I might buy Rimworld if I have the option of totally bypassing that side of things. Cheers!

dirtybeatfreak · 29 Nov 2020 at 23:43

Both are amazing! Rimworld is a fantastic game and a must buy imo!

This. I discovered about 6 weeks ago and have only just left the house today.......great game, even for early access, with good mods too.

Mindustry!

Less then a fiver on Steam and I think you can actually download if for free from the Mindustry website.

Not what you asked but it's very good if you like that type of game.

^+1. Mindustry is good, though not much too it IIRC. I also think it's available on Android/iOS too.
