Comment on Divine Automation: Factorio and phantasies of mechanization

wahming@monyet.cc ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

Automation games are a relatively recent development in gaming. Published in 2015, Infinifactory can be considered the first game of the genre. Just one year later, Factorio entered early access, soon to become the most known and successful automation game to date.

Impressive how little homework they did. Factorio was available (and already going viral) way before hitting steam EA, which back then was the Greenlight program and way tougher to get into than today’s EA.
