The game provides you with an easy to learn but hard to master type of gameplay. Your main task is to build and maintain factories which are located on a hostile planet. Thus, not only you have to take care of resources and constant development but you also need to protect yourself and your factories from constant attacks. Remember though that it isn't a typical "craft stuff" game. You can manually mine your basic elements at first: stone, coal, iron, and copper. Then you can smelt iron and copper plates. But then, why not create coal-powered mines to work for you? And then pumps, boilers, and steam engines to get electricity going. After that you can build other elements like convoy belts or trains. Slowly but surely you are going to make your factories flourish. Plan your development carefully and soon you will find yourself in the position of a leader of a group of prospering factories.Factorio has a complex modding systemFactorio's ground-up modding support has allowed content crea
