Satisfactory
Satisfactory is 3d first person factorio? I heard that while factorio factories are limited by how much your cpu and your brain can handle, satisfactory requires you to research for more energy, to let you build bigger factories.
I need to check out what Mindustry is all about.
>>4 Yeah I think so, it's pretty fun! At the start of the game you have to worry about collecting leaves and sticks for fuel to power your factory and keep it within power limits. Once you've met enough quotas for manufactured parts, you can set up a hydro power station, automatically fed by mined coal. You can then stop worrying about keeping your station powered and focus on working out the most efficient layouts to manufacture the complex parts for later objectives. I'm not that far in it but it's nice!

I checked out Mindustry. Interesting game, sadly it's in java, unlike the source of inspiration. They abandoned the two sided belts and inserters retardation, this made the game less annoying, but also less chaotic, which is honestly one of the main appeals of factorio. Graphics aren't as polished. Gameplay is a series of 2 hour map missions instead of one 100 hour long world conquering, which leaves more room for mistakes and learning. You don't lose as much if you screw up. Factorio is a much more relaxed game. I don't remember being that relaxed, I was afraid of biters to the very end of the game. Perhaps meditative is a better word, it's easy to get sucked in into playing Factorio.

SMB-X, a surprisingly solid SMB/SMW fangame centered around a reasonably decent level editor. Had strong flashbacks to the old-school Mario fangame scene and attempts at making my own in The Games Factory back in the day upon playing it, haha.

been getting back into factorio, after dropping it for a while post my first full run. lot more fun now that i know how to properly optimize and not strangle myself with spaghetti.
starting out a new save is still a bitch tho, maybe i need to gitgud but shit takes to long to get rly movin
>>9
same, I was like "you need how many resources now???" at some point, and ragequit. But eventually I came back and killed 2 months on it.
Spaghetti factories are where the fun is at. If you know what you are doing, why are you still playing this game, you've beaten it.
I remember once starting a warcraft 3 match with 2 bots, I and one other bot vs other bot. I helped to my ally to kill the enemy, killed this ally too, and mined all gold and trees on the map. If you're a faggot like me, who sucks at making quick decisions and just wants to see workers work, this game is for you.
>>10 i should add when i say "know what im doing" i moreso mean i know better how the game works. its still a lot of fun just to do things better than before, and to figure out things i had struggled with previously. plus theres always mods
I'd rather continue the old map rather than starting the new one, sounds more fun. I want to clean up my existing factory, figure out all the best blueprints, get as much as it fits in my backpack, stop production completely, destroy my old factory and reopen the factory in a different location. I wonder what I would need. Maybe I can just console command my dream backpack and all technologies at the start of the game
if you want everything from the get go to just design then you can always use a creative mod
personally i like slowly building up everything i need, but only after that VERY beginning bit where all you have is burner mining drills and coal power.
Thinking of getting into Elona already.

Ever since getting my steam deck I've been unable to summon the motivation to turn on my desktop pc and as such I've been suffering from reduced Zachtronics and Heroes 3

The fun in Mindustry is more about getting around terrain choke points but balancing throughput via routers, overflow gates and so on is also still a major part.
Sadly, some time ago the author has added automatic incineration of overflow in the core which can't be turned off in the campaign. So all of those skills you've developed are pointless now. And there is no new difficulty from this change because you just put an underflow gate (new thing) where overflow gates where before.
Another bad and also somewhat recent change is having persistent bases with limited enemy waves. You just have to hold out no matter what now until the last wave is beaten, then you can scrap your entire operation and rebuild it in complete peace even if it takes you 10, 20, 100 hours. All other sectors are "on pause".
There are other changes that someone like me who has started playing in 2019 will likely call bad but those are the most important.
