For those who don't know factorio is truly a masterpiece of a game. It's described as "programming the game". Strongly recommended to everyone here.

So I must be the only person on HN who doesn't like it too much. I love the concept and the factory building - but I found the necessity to move a player character manually with direct controls to be incredibly detracting from the process of building factories. I have no idea why they couldn't just include a mode where you have your typical RTS-like mode where you just go and click on things that you want to do without playing a game of "will this 5 pixels tall character fit through this gap between two machines or not". Also, this might be a personal preference - I found the game's style to be hard to read, it's far too dark even when played at maximum brightness...it's just an endless sea of dark brown.

I don't like it because it feels too much like work. For my job I already do a lot of ETL so why would I do ETL in my free time if they aren't even going to pay me
