Factorio ripoff

[StoneLegion]

If that is a rip off then Factorio is a Rip off of the basics of Redpower, Buildcraft, Industrialcraft, etc. Everything is an inspiration to something when it comes to Gaming. I'm sure the Devs here don't mind and encourage such things. Just as much as I hope the ideas they used and saw in other games those devs did not mind for Factorio used.

English idiom "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" - nice to see the devs have a positive attitude towards this new game

Ripoff? The game goes around automation. It has conveyor belts (which is RL thingy) and the factorio inserters (which is actually used in industries/mining operations throughout the world). It borrowed some concepts, but you can't call a ripoff.
