This is actually quite a fun and engaging "Factorio Lite" type game. Far more limiting both in what you can make and where you can make it, but I'm so far digging the limits. It's like any idle game, best played in short spurts and then returned to so you can find out how much you made in the intervening time.The Phoenixian wrote:Another in the vein of somewhere between Factorio and Big Pharma is factoryidle.com
And from the look of things it's all about optimizing your layouts then waiting for it to pay off.
Its a1:1 Factorio ripoff- and a bad one.5thHorseman wrote:This is actually quite a fun and engaging "Factorio Lite" type game.

Are we talking about the same thing? Factoryidle is a Flash game. Or HTML5 or something. It's not on Steam. And it's as similar to Factorio as every FPS in the past 20 years is to Quake so meh. If it's fun I'll play it.brunzenstein wrote:Its a1:1 Factorio ripoff- and a bad one.5thHorseman wrote:This is actually quite a fun and engaging "Factorio Lite" type game.

No wonder. Steam is what it is...

This is different to the true examples you mentioned- it's basically a Factorio carbon copykim_101 wrote:this game depends on making money in order to grow your factory,with several different machines which not exist in factorio,different researching mechanics,and a lot morebrunzenstein wrote:That's the Factorio ripoff I meantdaniel34 wrote:Let's say heavily inspired by Factorio (and Big Pharma).

Ripoff is when you clone the game,but in this case, the game shares some similarities and a lot of differences,is any platformer a super Mario ripoff,is any FPS a doom ripoff,is any smartphone an iPhone ripoff?
I didn't mean heavily inspired in a bad sense, not too much anyway. Your game is a mix between Factorio and Big Pharma (which I considered buying in the past) and if done correctly could be an interesting game. There are some notable differences which I think make the game easier to understand, but then again it's probably targeted at a more casual audience than Factorio.kim_101 wrote:this game depends on making money in order to grow your factory,with several different machines which not exist in factorio,different researching mechanics,and a lot morebrunzenstein wrote:That's the Factorio ripoff I meantdaniel34 wrote:Let's say heavily inspired by Factorio (and Big Pharma).

yes it lacks the whole RTS/enemy/weapons/battle experience, cars, trains.daniel34 wrote: It lacks a lot of features that Factorio has (the whole RTS/enemy/weapons/battle experience, cars, trains, logistic and construction system, circuit network, fluid processing, ...) but I think the target audience are more casual players who don't need all these features. Given the basic premise some of them don't even make sense. Why would you need to battle alien enemies or be able to build trains when all you want to do is build a factory to make money on a civilised planet?
I'm completely addicted to it atm, in fact I have some robots line w8ting for me to finish it xDD I recommend it if you like signals but also coding ensambler like. I think it is very didactical but is more puzzle than factorio. I consider factorio much better since you have a lot of games in one game AND you have multiplayer. It is true though that Shenzen is not a classic puzzle game since the solution is not unique and this makes a huge difference. I knew most of the games listed here i think most of factorio lovers would love many titles listed here like open ttd. I think many of as though would also like games that have nothing to do with factorio like Portal or kerbal space program, well in KSP you made rockets as well but for me is different kind of gamefpe wrote:Just announced, hitting Early Access in October, from the creator of SpaceChem, Infinifactory and TIS-100:

Looks like the right thing if the Circuit Network is your favorite part of Factorio...
