Factorio as a mobile game would be nice

[Bäumer]

Hello, the Title say`s it all.
Factorio is simple to steer and fun as hell. Also there is not much memory needed for the game.
What are Your thougts. Would it be possible??

That was an April Fools joke
But here is a more serious discussion: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=22024

In short - not probable, at least not in the short term.

That's up for the Dev to get off their ass and develop a android os and of course iOS, yes it be so fucking cool to have a factory on mobile with freaking multiplayer, think of the possibilitys.

But remember they only have 10 devs so making it available on phone or tablet would be easy, trust me!

I'd rather have a idle version of factorio for mobile instead of having just a adapted version of the same game for the mobile.

Check BTS 2016 for mobile (Business tycoon simulator). A game where you keep buying things and upgrading factories. I'd like to see a game like that with the factorio theme. A simplified version of factorio for mobile. Nobody carry a cell phone to build a big complex factory out of the house. Do they?

Hmm, I dunno why this hasn't come up, but factorio would need to change quite a bit to be able to run on mobile systems somewhat well and only vanilla has reasonable ram usage but also only in early to mid stage games, unless you rush through to 'win' with mods all that changes a lot.

Map sizes would be very restrictive, multiplayer would be even more restrictive due to the speed and magnitude with which a factory will be built.
