This game has made my life better. The systems approach I've developed through playing it has helped me deal with mental health issues that have plagued me for years. I used to have a spaghetti-base approach to dealing with my emotions, which - as we all know - is ok, but ultimately doesn't scale well. Factorio has helped me realise I can rip it all down and come up with a much more efficient method, although it's still probably flawed in other ways that will eventually become clear
So thank you Wube, forum members, modders, content creators, and everybody else involved in making this game and the community around it, you absolute beauties x
Thanks to everyone who worked on Factorio. I think the game is genius and one of the best games I've played in my life.
The idea that almost everything in this game can be automated is insipiring.
The problems are different on each step of evolution.
Keeping bitters in mind doesn't allow you to do whatever you want.
Solving problems myself without watching any guides is rewarding.
Not having only few ways to win is great; I can do whatever I want and still launch the rocket.

Thanks to everyone involved making this awesome game
And to all the streamers and speedrunners and all players even, without u and us, it wouldn't be that good, I think
Have so much great time with it and will have.
And a huge thanks for the super calming music.
I love it and hear it all the time
Factorio easily has a high replayability value among the games I play. 800+ hours in and I can still dive into a 10+ hour play session, and I find so much joy in designing a factory. There's always something you can improve, something you can streamline about your design (maybe I'm just bad). I haven't even gotten to the end game phase yet because I've restarted so many times after finding something I could improve, and I historically rather to start over from scratch rather than retrofitting my design.
Considering the cost of Factorio when I bought it at $30 was around the same price for a nice steak dinner, ultimately resulting in a $30 turd. I have had hours upon hours of entertainment playing this game. A remarkable value! Thank you!
Bugs and (often enough) behaviors are rapidly addressed by devs. It's kind ridiculous how Factorio can get patched up multiple times in a week
or day
but other games can take years, and often, never, to fix bugs. Not just with fixing a bug, but also replying if something isn't a bug, a won't fix, probably-fixable-but-not-worth-effort, etc.
They'll even address a lot of weird little edge case stupid bugs (many of the ones I report).
