Comment on I've been waiting for this for a long time.

  I have fifty steam accounts that own one copy of Factorio each and I’m just waiting to cash in.

  I thought I was ruined at first.

        But who would buy an entire steam account just for factorio at the normal price, you could just buy it now on the steam store

  I was as well. Put off buying it for years, as I am the patient gamer who waits for deals. I caved after playing Satisfactory and still having the itch to build factories

  I had it in my wishlist for years. I wasn’t exactly waiting for a discount, I was just playing other games. I finally bought it a month ago and already spent more than 100 hours. The game is addictive.

  They have a demo available for free, which was enough to let me know I’m too dumb for the game.

    If I have to think a lot to play the game then I’m out. I get paid for that shit.

      In my opinion you really don’t have to think to do quite a bit of stuff and enjoy yourself in Factorio. I think if you want to think about what you’re doing you can figure out ratios, making nice blueprints, building circuits, and all sorts but I have a few friends who had hundreds of hours of fun in the game never once considering anything like “what would I need to get a full blue belt of green science?”

      The anti-thinking approach would be “I need red science to get this tech, so I’ll set up machines for red science”, “my iron gears going into red science aren’t keeping up so I’ll build more iron gear assemblers”, “my copper going into red science isn’t keeping up so I’ll build more furnaces”, “I have more red science than my labs can use so I’ll build more labs”, etc.

      Personally, I don’t mind seeing the exact production numbers and doing a little math to figure out exact numbers of assemblers necessary, but it’s just as valid to build more X assemblers until the X belt is full, then when X’s ingredients start to run out you can repeat that process for its ingredients.

  That’s me, still haven’t bought it. I got other games to play anyway so oh well!
