I sense a great disturbance in the economy, as though a million souls suddenly took leave and were suddenly gaming.

A good number of them already disappeared last month with Satisfactory 1.0.

Hell, I'm not even done with it yet. One game at a time please!

Or the opposite: We only need one of those randomizers that shuffles the unlocks between multiple games. Just imagine one that incorporates Factorio, Satisfactory, shapez 2 and maybe Dyson Sphere Program. You'd be set for life.

The factory must grow (into other games).

Oh god, please nobody ever make this. We'll run out of engineers and programmers within days

I put in about 50 satisfactory hours with my wife. I got hung up at trains though. I'll probably try again someday.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Trains are a fun moment in the game where you realize you need to plan for larger buildings.

I did a run where I banned trucks or drones and went with trains only. It can be time consuming to run the lines, but once they're run it's not difficult to expand their bandwidth. Trucks, belts or drones are a bit of a challenge.

Now I gotta wait to get though work first today, just hope it flies by so I can get home to try this out.

All of the improvements are fantastic, I love them so much. The whole game is just QoL soup

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

Nice! I haven't played Factorio in a while, so now seems like a good time to jump back in. I bought it way back when it was beta released (2013 or 2014?), and I've played it a bit here and there since. I know a lot has changed, so this gives me an excellent reason to jump back in.

I've still got an unfinished modded space exploration playthrough I'd like to complete. Anyone know how I can stop steam from updating the game and breaking the mods for however long it is until the mod authors update thinga?

[–] Brokkr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

You should be able to select the version of the game that you want. Right click, manage,... ??? I forgot the rest but it's fairly obvious from what I remember. You can just pick the most stable build of 1.## from the drop down.

Can't wait to play it!!!
