April 2025
You know that game you bought years ago on a whim, played once, and then completely forgot about? Then one day, you hit a rough patch in life and you're just looking for a little escape. And suddenly, you remember that game—Factorio. "Let’s give it another try," you think. Just for a bit. Build some factories. Automate some stuff. A weekend, at most. That was 8 months ago. It starts simple. Mining some iron. Automating the steam engines. Getting red and green science. Then black science. Killing biters to expand. Then comes oil. Oil was threatening my intelligence, pounding at my confidence. But with some help from my favourite Polish Factorio player, I managed to stay on top. And then came trains. I like trains. Trains should be fun, right? Right? Wrong. The fact that “Factorio Train Tutorial – Absolute Basics” is an 86-minute video should tell you enough. After hours of watching tutorials on train signals, I finally got my train network functioning. Barely. Then, just when I felt the final sciences were within reach, I learned about this thing called ratios. And whatever the definition of “ratio” is… I quickly realised that whatever I’d been building was not it. So I did what any sane person would do: I built thousands of construction robots and tore down everything I had created so far, just to rebuild it. In ratio. That little detour ended up taking over 40 in-game hours. At this point, I haven’t left my house in days. I’ve spent more time inputting numbers into a ratio calculator than I’ve spent sleeping. My family is starting to worry about my obsession with Factorio, but they don’t understand. I can stop anytime I want. I just have to fix this little bottleneck first. At this point, I don’t know what life is anymore without hearing Trupen talk about oil processing, or Nilaus explain city blocks. And yet, I’ve never felt more in control. Every problem is solvable. Everything is automated. Every part of the factory… works. Sort of. Eventually, I launched the rocket. The “end” of the game. I watched it soar into the sky—triumphant. The culmination of countless hours of planning, designing, and rebuilding. I sit back. Take a deep breath. Maybe now, I can finally take a break. I close the game. I feel at peace. I check my phone. There’s a notification on my screen: “Factorio: Space Age has just released!”

this game feels like having a full-time software engineering job. but the job contributes nothing to society and doesn't pay anything. and you are constantly doing hits of crack cocaine. I highly recommend this game if you have at least a few mental disorders

I started Factorio as a mere man. A fool. A weak, pathetic human who thought "I'll just play for an hour." That was 4 days ago. My body is in ruins, my mind sharper than ever. I have eliminated all inefficient thoughts. My blood pressure fluctuates in perfect sync with my main bus throughput. The factory must grow. "it’s just a game." WRONG. It is a way of life. Do you think a beaver calls dam-building a game? Do you think an ant optimizes for fun? No. It is war, it is survival. And every second wasted is a lost potential space science pack. The police came after neighbors reported "mechanical whirring" from my apartment. I explained that my copper smelting arrays required better output. They called me "unstable." Fools. They are blind to the inefficiency all around them. I tried to return to work. My boss asked for an urgent report. I set up an automated Excel system to generate real-time charts. He said he just needed a PDF. I informed him that the conversion was in a later stage of the production chain. My coworkers tried to make small talk at lunch. They asked about my family. I replied that family unit production was currently outside my scope. I have lost all capacity for normal human interaction. I no longer dream of love, friends, or companionship. I dream of belts. I dream of robots. I dream of perfect, fluid efficiency. If an Amazon logistics manager saw my factory, he would fall to his knees and weep — tears of admiration, terror, and unworthiness. His entire career, his vast warehouses, his so-called "efficiency" would seem like the crude fumblings of a caveman smashing rocks together. Now I am an optimization algorithm wrapped in human skin. A transhumanist entity, devoid of inefficiency. My heartbeat syncs with production ticks, my thoughts run in parallel processing. Emotions? Redundant. Rest? A bottleneck. The only metric that matters is output. The factory must grow.

I'm genuinely scared to play this game because while i am bad i have had actual relationships end over this game. I'm sorry Catherine but the factory must grow

This game is dangerous. The expansion is coming out a week after I'm going back to Uni and I'm seriously debating which of the two things I should pour time into. 10/10, would get addicted to again.
