do you think we could get back to our civiliazation ?

[Hellatze]

the story follows : you stranded on alien planet and need to go back.

so far we didn't have spaceship that transport us to base. (we only send satelites), so our charater doomed to stranded in that planet forever ?

[MeduSalem]

so our charater doomed to stranded in that planet forever ?

For the time being, yes... stuck on the planet.


But maybe with a later addon it might change.

Later?

Later?

I know there are various mods extending the gameplay, but I think OP meant Vanilla Factorio without mods.

stranding on planet without people, makes you want to talk to volleyball. (if you know the reference)

[MeduSalem]

Makes me think about if there should be something like a little robot buddy that is there for you from the very beginning... one that keeps talking all kinds of trash all the time like some games have for comedic relief.

Like Wheatley in Portal 2.


But that said I think the lonesome, isolated atmosphere is what the Devs actually want for the game.

Wilson has a name.

I'm replying to a comment that contains the word "addon", not "update". Fair game

No, the planet is doomed to have our character stranded on it forever....

This would get a lot of points on Voat or Reddit

Like Wheatley in Portal 2.

Only just noticed this, lol. Frankly, I got plenty 'nuff of that xit from Jefferson Clay, the dead war hero stuck in CNV-301 Dreadnought's computer in Independence War. But, your comment reminds me of something not-quite-Factorio from my favorite Factorio reviewer (I didn't see his review of Factorio until I had played it enough to agree with absolutely fecking everything he had to say in that review!) It goes...

...It's a first person puzzle game which has a surprising amount of things in common with Portal.

Actually is there any proof that we're stranded?

For all we know, we're employees of a colonization company and our goal is to start the gears of industry on the planet.

Why not both?

[Mr. Mechanic]

Or maybe a whole bunch of biters got stranded on our planet, and we're all that's left? Git off mah planet!

but biter sure hate pollution, and never invade our base unless we pollute them.

[Strategic Sage]

By default, they will expand and attack eventually. Pollution makes it happen a lot faster, but it isn't required. I've literally just let the game run after startup, and it took hours but eventually they killed me without me doing anything(didn't move, mine, build, nothing).
