    Oohh nice, even tho i’m not really the right person for such a game.

    I keep losing track and starting over, then realizing i want it to look cooler…start rebuilding and lose interest and drop the game fir quite a time until i find out i lost track and start the cycle over again.

      Everything except the losing interest part is what people love about factory games. So while they have your interest, realize that you are absolutely playing them “correctly”. But if you don’t like iterating your designs (not everyone does, and that’s OK), then these are probably not the right genre for you.

        I’ve been sucked into Factorio quite thoroughly, until the automation, optimization and debugging started feeling too much like what I do at work. I mean, I enjoy the process (which is why I got this work in the first place), but doing it in my free time as well is a bit much

          Check out Shapez 2. The first game was pretty basic but I really enjoy S2 as a Factorio lite. It’s much much less complex, but there’s still plenty of room to build crazy contraptions as you unlock more stuff to build with. Most major upgrades will make you want to refactor your whole base, but after you finish delivering a certain type of shape you no longer need to make more (except sometimes as components for new shapes). So I’ll pretty regularly knock out like half my factory and make a new and improved assembly line for the new shape I need to deliver.

          It’s good, give it a look. I get quite sucked into it and it doesn’t have as much mental overhead as Factorio does. There’s also no biters, which makes it a much more relaxing factory game.

            Played shapes2 and it is really fun but for me it feels heavier. When i play some Factorio mods there are times when it gets overwhelming and shapes have the same problem for me. Takes a couple of days or weeks to recover.

            Also the rebuild everything thing in shapes 2 is not really true. When you get a few hours into the game the stuff you deliver is stuff you want to deliver forever to gain operator levels. The secondary stuff that isn’t forever stuff is what makes me give up. Fatigue of rebuild or something… Good thing we are all different :)

          Yeah, I have to take breaks sometimes and be in the right mood. I find that I like to play more when I’m going through a boring patch at work and I need something mentally stimulating.

      I’m not the type of guy for these games at all, but satisfactory is super fun to me. Even if i suck and my factories look like an absolute nightmare. The fun thing about satisfactory is that you can brute force so much bullshit until it all goes more and more to shit.

    Damn shame this comment section turned into an EOS battleground. This game is worth a hell of a lot more than that.

    Have I ever made it further than tier 4? No. Will I start new playthroughs countless more times in an effort to? Hell yes.

      I always get to the part with nuclear power, then I take a look at the space elevator objective recipes, realise I need to multiply my factory size by about 20 and just nope out

        As much as I love the game, and I will get into random hyper focus mode and will multiply the size of my factory by a large amount, the later tiers are much more accessible when playing with friends.

      I don’t think i ever made it to tier 4 either. My factory always collapses from the weight of my own incompetence. The funniest thing to me is to play as far as i get, stop and come back a month or two later and try to figure out what i did.

          You’re comparing a 2d custom engine. Which admittedly you wouldn’t expect to have multiple os support…but it’s built on allegro, which is open source c++.

          To a 3d game in Unreal Engine 5, which stresses even the best systems running dedicated gpus on windows. Do many macs offer dedicated gpus these days?
