"The same game we play every week, Pinky. Factorio!"
Scaling up industry in order to start a space platform in SE mod. 100 hours in.
I've tried to get into Factorio but my research always progresses faster than I can build things inevitably leading me to get lost. Also, the factory ends up getting too messy so I quit the game.
It's become a game that sits in my library taunting me.
If you pick it up again at some point, my recommendation would be to turn down enemies, increase resources, and just ignore most of the tech. It is there to give you flexibility, and many people's first win had no trains, no nuclear power, low tier belts, no artillery.
The last time I played I turned the enemies completely off but between trains and the beginning of nuclear power, I got so confused I just quit.
I also turned the mountains off as well. I had enough problems trying to keep the conveyor belts straight without having to deal with building around elevation.
