Factorio never goes on sale, but Shapez and shapez 2 are on sale and they are in the same genre but more beginner friendly.

Does Factorio ever go on sale? I think I’ve had it wishlisted for over a year now.

Shapez 2 was great. I got into last night. Lovely and relaxing. No stress, no resource management, no time limits, no enemies. Just cozy thinking about production and how to optimize. Right up my alley.

Not sure if trolling but no, factorior will never go on sale, and will only ever increase in price.

No, not trolling. I’d never heard that they had a policy against it until I looked it up just now.
Somehow I was under the impression that devs didn’t even get a say as to if or when Steam would put their games on sale. I thought I had heard that as a major gripe of devs who list games on Steam.
Now I’ll have to decide when I feel like it’s worth the remainder of my life and $35.

As someone with 902 hours on steam and about that much on the standalone client, I highly recommend you dont. It will consume the next month of your life. If you do buy it. Learn about blueprints and how to import them. Dont have to use others but one of the better teaching tools in the game for belt mechanics. If you like trains, use the mods, the train logistics mods make them so much better, but do take some study to make work.

If I’d known that I would’ve bought it years earlier.
