Comment on Against The Storm v1.1 update is out, improving early game variety and bringing a lot of QoL features
Ah, Factoriolikes, as I call them usually
Factorio is exemplary, but hardly genre creating. They’re just base building games.
If anything has defined the genre for the modern generation it’s Dwarf Fortress.
And DF is nearing 20 years old of active development.
Factorio pretty single handedly inspired the entire genre of automated factory games. Most of the others explicitly cite Factorio as inspiration or have clear influences from it.
Some credit to be given to the Minecraft redstone mod, of course.
