Factorio Thread

[Kane Lives]

Is Factorio the best example of this kind of game? I want to try one. Satisfactory also looked good.

It probably is, though you can find easier examples of the genre. Satisfactory is up there. Minecraft with industry mods as well, if you don't feel like spending money. Minindustry if you're the poor sod stuck with mobile games.

Calling Czechs Eastern Europeans *shakes head*. They won't appreciate that. Many don't like the USSR or being associated with Russia. Same with Slovaks.

Also Kovarex is based. Fuck Peddit.

Also the responses to this guy were fucking amazing. The best was along the lines of "No one gives a fuck about furries' opinions. Get back in the stable, beast."

I haven't played Satisfactory yet, so I can't speak for it, but Factorio is definitely the more mathematical and efficiency-focused one. It's all about automating everything and making sure every single sector of your factory is operating at the highest efficiency rate it can, such as through calculating input/output ratios or implementing designs like the Main Bus.

So yeah, if you're into autistic shit like that, it's definitely a game to try.

I disagree. I really appreciate it when a game allows me to play my sex in-game, as I find it more personally immersive. I don't understand the rage that incels feel towards such a simple and non-aggressive request. These "will you let me play my bio-sex" threads always dissolve into a bunch of outrageously immature commentary that bumps the thread without any further response from the OP. I also advocate for games to not only have a female character. If a man wants to play a man, he should be able to.

Factorio has the same type of request thread on their forums.

I agree with you if the player character is specifically designed to be a self insert with no personality, or outright doesn't have a face associated with them.

But if the devs made a character and wanted to them to be a specific sex for their vision of the game then that should be the way the game is experienced. If someone wants to play as a female Kratos in God of War they can mod their own character model into the game.

I haven't played Satisfactory yet, so I can't speak for it, but Factorio seems the more mathematical and efficiency-focused one. It's all about automating everything and making sure every single sector of your factory is operating at the highest efficiency rate it can, such as through calculating input/output ratios or implementing designs like the Main Bus.

So yeah, if you're into autistic shit like that, it's definitely a game to try.

They’re fundamentally different kinds of games. Satisfactory is an open-ended puzzle game with levels, Factorio is an open-world building game.

The founder of the game, kovarex, has gotten into an argument with the community because he's too based

>I won't even search him up. You know why? Because I don't care at all. I don't care if he cheats on his wife, is a bigot, or pays proper tips in restaurant. These things are simply not relevant. If Stalin had a good writeup on programming, would linking that be dangerous, because some people might read it, start liking HIM, thus start liking communism and the ineviteble mass murder that follows it? Is this how little we trust other individuals when it comes to access to information? I personally trust my readers to have the ability to create their own opinions instead of blindly following whatever says the person they like.

Well I know where on the steam store I'm going first when the summer sale starts

edit:

typical slavs. Still based for btfoing redditors tho

He doesn’t discount his game if I remember right. Something about how he thinks you should price something at what you think it’s worth; which is admirable in it’s own way. I’ll probably pick it up if I haven’t already.

 

[Red Mask]

Well, if you think it’s worth 30$, then have it. I see why they started with 20$ though as it was incomplete at the time. As for being cancelled, I don’t see it happening as a lot of people are not aware of what he thinks beyond the game itself. I didn’t even know he was Eastern European until…well now. But, I would never interact with him as it would be pointless.

Message to people funneled here from the front page considering picking up Factorio:

It is an excellent game. It will ruin your life for a few months if you get into it. Some people play until they complete the main in-game goal of launching a rocket. Some people play with the in-game logic circuits system until they practically deserve a degree in electrical engineering.

There is an endless supply of tutorials on YouTube, but some people consider too much explanation of the games mechanics to be spoilers, as a lot of the fun is figuring it out for yourself.

People speedrun this game, and it’s unreal to watch. It’s one of the only games I respect when it comes to speedrunning because the runners need to do an actual fucking engineering project manager’s worth of work to design and optimize your run. Spreadsheets and all.

When building, focus on getting it to work before getting it to be perfect. If it’s stupid, but it works, then it ain’t really that stupid. That said, it pays to plan ahead, and it pays to be organized and leave yourself way more room than you think you need.

There are in-game enemies that will wreck your shit periodically, but there’s no shame playing on “peaceful” mode for your first run while you nail down the basics.

The game has trains and they’re fucking rad.

It’s not for everyone, but while people are intimidated by it, it’s easier to pick up than it seems. There are mods that make it even more complex too, if you’ve had your fill with vanilla.

It’s worth every penny full price but it is also very occasionally on sale (for the first 4 years or so of early access, it was infamous for never going on sale).

This is the kind of game that makes you smarter. If you are just buying it to own the reddit retards, do your self a favor and actually give it a try.

 

[Sinner's Sandwich]

They also cannot understand why developers who sold their game to millions of people don't care about offending a handful of trannies on reddit.

These narc idiots spend most of the time in their troon cult hugboxes on reddit/twitter/discord etc. This made them believe they are the center of the universe and made them develop delusions of grandeur and of course they think they are the most oppressed group in history.

Troons hate not getting attention & being told no and it's always good to see them cope, seethe, dilate & 41% themselves. They want everything to be about troonery only and since they have been brainwashed by other troons they don't understand that they are not only not important but their opinions are worthless. 99,9999% of the things these people say is horseshit and should be disregarded.

No wonder pedditors hate it.

 

[TVStactic]

Not even remotely the same too Notch outside of huge money and making a ground breaking game

Scott:
Extremely Positive dude who looks on the brightside of life, is happily married, has six kids, and feels like he has done so much in his life to settle down, but still see what is up with the community, and is passing on his series to someone he feels is appropriate for Five Nights At Freddys, and never ever backed down or said sorry to those people who bitched at him for being a republican.

Notch:
Extremely negative dude who sold out his game series and has left everyone behind he used to work with as a big bitter and angry man, who is friendless, wifeless, and constantly bickers and complains on twitter, and is mostly hated by his own company and never even remotely talked about in the positive life. Proof that money cannot buy you happiness.

true, if notch wants to get rid of the money because catharsis i know a couple of paypal accounts he could send to...

also /v/ got a whiff

on the steam discussions i saw this too:

Someone on reddit politely asked the game lead, Kovarex not to platform a boomer who said women can't code. Kovarex perceived this very mild criticism from a fan as him being hyper cancelled and ♥♥♥♥ the bed all over reddit and twitter.

4chan and ilk latched onto this as a generic anti-progressive movement. Which is why the posts do not follow from the event, but are rather pol talking points about communism, transphobia, etc. It's extremely stupid.

sorry lads, he's gone and clarified that he has nothing against trans people and the celebration of his statements disturbs him. he's still holding the line on his original statement though.

imo the troons will pick him apart if he keeps engaging on their terms.

even if they do it means jack shit. i can't wait to see this on PCGamer and similar sites just to see how they will spin the narrative and be BTFO by their commentators IF they forget to leave the comments open.

Or, you can let one of them tell you himself.

As for why? A lot of trans people are programmers (one of a few jobs even possible with very little interaction with other people), and this game appeals to programmers. Maybe there's an overlap with autism with meticulously placing and designing everything, which is more common in queer people. It's a really good game to play without voice chat, which trans-peeps usually try to avoid. It's really easy to just kinda tune out the rest of the lgbt-phobic shitty world and lose yourself in it. It's quiet and non-threatening. It can be played on crappy hardware, and a lot of queer people are broke af. And it's just a well-made game.

Maybe.

is the nigga serious about this?
we should laugh even harder then.

[...]

can a nigga highlight this shit? thanks.
i've seen people recommending Oxygen Not Included instead of factorio and i got to say dis:
IT'S BUGGY AS FUCK, while factorio is not, ONI doesn't even have old mod compatibility so if you used a non-expansion mod then you get to choke on a dick if the mod author died or something that keeps the mod to be outdated. fucking unity...

Tbh czechs and hungarians especially are like a broken record about communism- it has been nailed so hard into their heads in schools.

The Greek people I've met were the same way. I had a professor in college (teaching numerical methods so not even something political) who would somehow fit a rant about Communism into most of his lectures. I still remember one class he spent the entire class shitting on the class too because some people had turned in effectively identical papers, so he went on a rant about how we all think we're Bolsheviks going to go and overthrow the Tsar. He was by far my favorite professor just because of how based he was and how much he cared that we actually learned rather than just pass the class, though he did get a ton of complaints from other students every year lmao.

 

[Takayuki Yagami]

What makes this news sweeter to hear is that it's a staple game for many trannies and lefty autists who put thousands of hours into it, with Destiny being a particular case of the latter, as his subreddit has been dilating and seething in rage and terror since the news broke last Friday: https://www.reddit.com/r/Destiny/comments/o3c36l/factorio_dev_kovarex_getting_cancelled/

EDIT: Actually quite a number of the posts in that subreddit seem pretty reasonable and nuanced; a few are even supportive of Kovarex's decision and getting decent upvotes for it.
Example:

For all his posturing Destiny will have his moments. He at least has the sense to find Vaush revolting.

A perfect storm of autism. Another sacred cow of autistic trannies dethroned. First JK Rowling takes away the only book they ever read, and now this nazi slav is taking away their trains.

You're never really going to get over the people that killed your grandad.

EDIT:I want to support the devs, but I feel bad about them getting drug into this culture war crap.

BASED separation of art from artist
BASED not doing this weird twitter/reddit thing of expecting people who make things you like to 100% fit your political beliefs
How the fuck did people forget how to do that? If the write up is about code, not politics, and it's correct and functional, who cares who wrote it?
