    I want to love Factorio but all the drama surrounding its creator have really put me off.

    Not a single sale in its entire lifespan but somehow being okay with doubling the price nearly a decade after release?

    Defending statutory rape?

    Idk man, maybe I’ll pirate it or something.

          Kovarex seems to be the only problematic one, and considering factorio is developed by a lot more people, it seems its mostly just one bad apple, but that apple is one of the owners and lead devs so

      Yeah, I got it a while back, and figure I might as well play it since I have it.

      I’ve been on a 2d kick lately. Factorio, Rimworld,Stardew, Mindistry, etc. I even replayed Bastion last year.

        I love Rimworld, I’m thinking of trying out Dwarf Fortress but it looks so daunting.

        And yeah man, after being obsessed with Hades I decided to check out all their games. Loved Bastion and am playing Pyre rn.

          The steam version of Dwarf Fortress is relatively accessible. You don’t need to interact with all of the systems right away.

          Also Pyre is great. Very underrated.

            Note that DF’s Steam version lets you destroy stairs in a way that makes them impossible to rebuild, so be careful with stairs.

              I haven’t run into that problem, but it sounds stairable. Would have me in hystairics.

      Factorio would be a bargain at $100. I’m not aware of the statutory rape bit, though.
