Good game, definitely recommend. Best part? It's free.

...

Well? There's nothing to lose if you don't like it, it's free, get it!

...

Now, perhaps?

...

Wha-? What more do you want? I see no reason as to why you haven't already started installing this game.

...

Why are you still here? Just to suffer?

...

Welp, guess there's no convincing you. Or are you just here to see if I say anything else?

Pathetic.

Factorio is a game that is easy to play and almost impossible to not get addicted to. Most new players with a little knowledge will play as follows:

Mine some coal to fuel a machine that mines more coal.
Mine some iron and feed it with some coal to a furnace.
Make another miner.
Feed the outputs of the miners into each other so they keep fuelling each other. (Semi-)Endless coal supply.
Mine some stone and make another furnace. Or two. Or eight.
Mine some iron and copper and feed those into some furnaces, along with some coal.
Make some pipes, a boiler and a steam engine to make power from the small lake nearby.
Make a few conveyor belts, electric inserters, electric miners and power poles (after cutting a few trees down).
Get rid of the coal-burning miners in place of the new, environmentally-friendly electric miners. Place some extras on the iron and copper fields too.
Place the conveyor belts in just the right way to lead the coal from the coal field to the iron and copper miners. Add some inserters to put the coal, iron and copper into the furnaces you placed near your miners for efficiency. Don't forget to hook everything up to the steam engine with some power poles. (Semi-)Endless iron and copper supplies.
Realise the boilers need coal and scramble frantically to hook up a coal line to the boiler so you don't lose power.
Place a couple chests near the furnaces with some inserters to put the excess iron and copper into storage.
Wonder what to do with so much excess material.
Find out about research.
Start building research laboratories and some assembling machines to make and use science packs.
Research is going well. Now you need another type of science pack.
Make more assembling machines to make the new science pack. These are gonna need a lot of materials, aren't they?
Make your mining factory larger to make more materials.
Realise you need more power.
Make another boiler and another steam engine to hook up more power to your factory.
Look at the map and see an enormous world to be discovered. Most of it you can't see right now, but you know it's gonna get BIG.
Take a day to traverse the border of your currently-known area to open up your map to a bit more.
What's that red patch?
Why's it starting to head to me?
Why do I have a gun?
Why am I being eaten alive by monsters?
Why am I dead now?
Realise the game is a survival game and that you should have been researching weapons as much as you have technology.
Realise a lot of materials are going to be needed to make ammo and guns.
Find an option in the new game menu to turn on "peaceful" mode. The monsters are there, but they'll mind their own business, so long as you leave them be.
Start afresh in a peaceful world that looks nothing like the last one you crashed into.
Build up a HUGE factory, minus the guns, since you won't need those anymore (until you find out about nukes).
Wonder what the true aim of the game is.
Eventually make a factory large enough to launch a rocket.
Get a winning message for launching a rocket.
Congrats, you beat the game.

There's an option to continue.

You realise the game has only just begun. Your soul belongs to the Factorio gods. You try to escape, but you crave it now. You yearn for more, to push the boundaries, to build the largest factory ever, to make the most efficient, streamlined and utterly magnificent conveyor lines - stripes of variously-coloured resources trailing off to an assembling machine far away. The world you grew up in, once a beautiful mix of forests, deserts and open fields, now sheltered under a blanket of pollution, everywhere you see conveyor belts, machines and smoke rising in the distance.
Then you find a solution - build a gargantuan solar farm, the likes of which would make Elon Musk jealous.
The sky slowly clears - you've done it.
You can finally see the stars to the hopes that someone, somewhere, will find you.
You hop aboard a rocket, in hopes of a way back.
You hear a thunderous boom around you and the rocket starts to launch, slowly rising from the bunker it was made in.
You peer out to see hovering assembly robots crowd around the bunker. You shed a tear, knowing that you'll miss them.
Slowly the view expands.
You feel a great proudness seeing the entirety of your creation below.
A warning light comes on and you start to panic. "What's happening?"
All of a sudden, you see a flash of light and the wind howl against your suit.

You flounder around in the air, trying to figure out how you're going to survive the landing.
Closer and closer the ground appears, with seemingly no way to escape your fate.
You remember the thrusters on your power armor and jerk your way into an upright pose.
You press the button and hold it there, hoping for the best.
You close your eyes and remember the life you had before you came to crash into the planet the first time. Your wife, your kids, long-distant memories.
You feel a slight pressure against your feet and your knees buckle as the adrenaline floods your system. You're still here.

You now realise there is no way off the planet, and you decide to never risk your life to go through THAT experience ever again.
You get back on your feet and slowly press on, back to the robots you nearly abandoned.
You fall on your back in a wave of relief and begin to reflect on your past years here, the legacy you built up and almost left behind, never to be seen by anyone again.
You drift off where you lie, in a happy contemplation of your recent events.
You wake up the next morning, feeling more refreshed than ever, ready to go back to your new life's work.
Never again do you think about someone rescuing you - you are happy to call this place home.
Every now and then you head out for a stroll, observing the behaviours and life-cycles of the monsters around you. These are your pets now, and you'd never think to harm them.

Life is good.
Life carries on.

Your factory awaits.

10/10. 10/10. 100/100. Best game. Best game.

Brilliant game, brilliant graphics, really good game mechanics and a brilliant game for just passing the time. Even better if you have a steering controller to use with it! Definately recommend this game to any driving sim fan!

This is an absolutely awesome game with a superb physics engine, it's brilliant for learning astrophysics and I would definitely recommend it to all of my friends!
