It might happen some day in the future, but not any time soon

I have to reopen this thread and ask again after 2 years: Is there any plan in the far future to make console version? Or it is rejected?

I want to buy game console (I have a dilemma between PS and XBOX) and I will be happy if I'd can play Factorio on it. :D

So, the question is still here in 2020. Congrats with release, but what about consoles release?

Now you're just setting yourself up for the worse kind of disappointment. If they say No, then you're upset because they said No. If they say Yes, then you're gonna be stuck in the "when" loop, and all the trappings of "unmitigated expectation growth over time" that plagues gamers [anticipating] anything.

If they say Maybe, then you hope yes, and suffer all the problems of a Yes answer, while also suffering the theoretical upsetness of a No answer. When combined, you suffer from an existential dread of a schrodinger paradox; as you infinitely approach either outcome, which infinitely and proportionally increases the stakes, and whose uncertainty generates proportional amounts of anxiety. And should that uncertainty collapse into either outcome; the affirmative would never possibly be able to live up to the expectations to off set the anxiety (thus resulting in disappointment), while the negative affirms your fears, again leading to disappointment.... but juxtaposed with a greater relief that you can not experience the failure of it to live up to your expectations.

So in essence, you'd ultimately find it preferable if they reject it.

So devs should always say "No" to every player suggestion, but sometimes implement the suggestion anyway? ;)

Since Factorio was ported to Nintendo Switch in 2022, it makes sense to ask again in 2024 whether there are plans to port to PS/xbox

As of now there are no plans to port to any other consoles.

This must mean the Switch port didn't do so well. Sadness. :(

Consoles don't get mods, so it's no wonder they don't do well.

Pretty sure that they said somewhere, that the switch port is a passion project of one of the devs, and the main reason for the port is the simple enthusiasm for such a port for the said dev.
I doubt it has something to do with commercial success.

Consoles can get mods, there are just more hoops than most are willing to jump through.

Oh, wait, its the Switch. Yea, that things too weak and can barely handle a decent sized base. But thats handhelds for you. You trade power for portability.

That portability was why that one dev ported the game there, though. And the lack thereof is why (IIRC) they said they wont be bringing the game to other, more powerful consoles.
