Factorio Forums

Hello everyone!

I'm sorry if this someone already offered. I think it would be great if you could play the game together on one PC with gamepads! Like the NES console. Should we expect this feature in the near future?

Thanks!

Are you talking about split-screen multiplayer, where every player only gets half of the monitor for his view of the game? I don't think I would like that, because that would require me to either buy a very large monitor or to play on a very small interface.

Also, making the game playable with a gamepad instead of a mouse would require half of the game to be redesigned. I'm afraid that is not likely to happen.

I think the game is just fine the way it is designed.

If a console version of Factorio were to be released, then I guess it might be worth redesigning Factorio to work with a gamepad.

Hello Tekky!

Not quite. I'm talking about two characters at one general frame. For example, the frame doesn't move to right when someone is near the left edge of the frame and moves when both are close to edge (like NES games).
