What if Factorio did a Lego train set

[landmine752]

In an alternate reality, where Lego and Factorio make a deal, what would the Lego Factorio boxes look like?

Sourced from my Twitter.

In the interest of doing product mock-ups, I tried my hand with a Lego Factorio kit. It was largely inspired after the train created by gwaca on Bricklink. They did amazing work creating that train with the right details, and I just imagined what it could look like on an official box. Then I studied Lego train sets and put this together.

Don't take it seriously, it was just a fun venture in designing with a different set of rules (IOW "how does Lego design their boxart?").

Needs to include a few minifigs to run over when they least expect it.

Looks great! Think it should also have an engineer in it. In fact, there's some suitable space right there in front of the train!

P.S. Wube, you seriously need to negotiate with Lego about Factorio themed sets

Cool thing for sure would also an accompaning mod which will build this train as from Lego parts

Looks really cool! Makes me sad its not a official set, but hey, what can ya do?

This is really cool.

Do they really put those out in the stores?

Nope, I made this as a fun mockup project.

I just realized I should share the engineer minifig I made for this fake set. I didn't want to spend the time posing, exporting, and rendering the final train set scene with him, so he lives only on the top panel of the box. The engineer is equipped with a backpack, wrench, and the generic gun-weapon thing.

Hi,

I'm impressed by your design : it looks like an actual Lego set!

"Lego Ideas" may be of some interest for you...

Bye,

I know this thread is relatively old, but this seems like a really good idea. I have to admit, and like a lot of other people have said it should really come with a few engineer Minifigs so they can get ran over when they least expect it!
