Factorio Forums

Hello, we will start the steam greenlight campaign preparations soon. If you want your creation represent Factorio, you can try it in this thread. Note that we would like to have different kind of screenshots covering different stages and parts of the game. (something like the set on our site https://www.factorio.com/screenshots)

We need the screenshot to be 16:9. Most of it should be without gui, some with gui are fine as well. The aspect ratio is 16:9. The pictures should look good scaled down to 636X358 as it is the preview size of pictures on steam. The minimal resolution of the picture should be 1280X720, but you can make higher if you want.

Edit: Please also include the save the screenshots were made from (ideally hosted by some external provider - i.e. Dropbox).

Hello, here are a few screenshots of mid and late game setups. I hope they help.

Mixed belt loop, in the interest of variety.

I'm not sure if it is the kind of thing you want as it is not actual gameplay but it kinda looks cool!

I got an album of screenshots i've taken since i started playing: http://imgur.com/a/SHv0y

My first attempt on making it pretty

These are some screenshots of the base a friend of mine did.

May I make a suggestion that the pics that go up are not pictures of the most super effecient factory ever . I think they should be obviously not be 1 stone furnace and a burner inserter, but part of the fun is developing your own personal factories during the begining and not relying on just copying one from the page . I would wager some of our first save files would be worth taking a look back at for some interesting, functional but not perfected factories. Eventually they will end up on imgur or the forum and learn from some of the more perfected factories. Although if they are researching that, then the game has done its job and they are hooked

how much should we show do you think? like way zoomed out or a few buildings and some belts?

Here's one mostly showing off sprite resolution and effects, although ironically it's not very high-res, sorry.

Map attached in case you're interested

The link again - forum can't display 4K screenshots properly - http://factorio.nicmd.de/myfirstfactory.jpg - GUI 200% (still a little bit small imo)



Since it is displayed weird on the forums - http://factorio.nicmd.de/altview.jpg - GUI 50%

Most of my research production, same area twice, one with and one without detailed information. (click for full size)

My red+green+blue science setup (and smelting). I think it looks pretty neat.
(Also a version without 'alt' view: less noisy)

Oh wow, there is quite some nice material here

Often, Factorio screenshots are made with the camera zoomed out a lot, so I've also made one with the cam closer to the player for greater variety.
Also got some parts of my first factory, don't know if you still need more like that

Here is a simple compact red and green science system. It can support 15 labs quite easily and was fun to build. I like the way it looks messy and like a new player built it!

Fairly early stage (well, using marathon mod, so nearly 11 hours in (clickie for full size)
