Everything—the gameplay, the music, the art style—feels like I hand selected it. There’s not a single decision the devs made that I wouldn’t have made too.
Dude I’m actively avoiding it.
Cause like, my favourite is anno 1404 and recently I have been caught up with factory town idle.
Both games are about optimising production and trade routes.
I’ve been watching for a sale, if that ever happens. I just picked up Satisfactory on sale and had a similar conversation with a friend. I said I’m definitely the target demographic for it and Factorio is the other on radar.
I don’t think Factorio ever goes on sale but imo it’s worth full price.
If you like Satisfactory, there’s an extremely high chance you’ll like Factorio. The main differences are the obvious 2D top-down vs 3D 1st person and Factorio has a robust military/combat system with base defense while Satisfactory is mostly peaceful unless you’re exploring.
Factorio.

Factorio never goes on sale, and will never go on sale. I’d recommend just picking a time and buying it

You can see my apprehension now I’m sure.

Oh I don’t doubt that I’d enjoy it, I just rarely pay full price for games anymore. It gives me StarCraft vibes.
Perhaps when I’ve tired myself of Satisfactory, I’ll pick it up, if it still hasn’t gone on sale by then.
In the meantime though, I also have Mindustry.
It literally never goes on sale lol
I was going to suggest mindustry if you didn’t.
Definitely. I got back into it recently too, but when I first found it, I lost many, many hours to it.
You can turn off combat in both games if you just want factory building. Shapez and Shapez2 are all solid entries in the factory game genre.
Not sure why they bothered including a quit game button, that’s my biggest gripe
