Re: What programming language Factorio is written in?
If you plan to make a career, start with C... the learning curve is universally years Not very encouraging. :( Unfortunately, wielding C++ as the developers of this game did is not something you will do in a few months.

Two pumps at opposite sides can fill 20,000 in about half that (but on the same side still take as long a...
