free market

>>713344525 (OP)
Because that's the price the developers set it at.

>>713344525 (OP)
Just pirate it.

Atleast Factorio has demo so you can try the game out and throw it away if you don't like it. But Space DLC being same price as base game confusing to me. Even for indie game

would you be happy if they called it factorio 2

if u actually like the game its a fair price for how much you get

worth the price of admission

>>713344525 (OP)
Question

If I'm new, should I even bother picking up the DLC or nah?

>>713346216
did you already buy the game or did you enjoy the demo

>>713346330
It's been in my library for years and never played it, deadass.

>>713346382
play the base game

>>713344525 (OP)
Because there are no other factory games to play. They have a captive audience.

>>713346451
What about Satisfactory?

>>713346451
>They have a captive audience.
Like Tarkov?

Because it adds four new planets alongside heaps of new techs, mechanics, buildings, resources, music as well as space travel and platforms. It's basically a sequel.

>>713346531
CUTE

>>713346531
No self-respecting Factorio player will touch Satisfactory.

>>713346670
>No self-respecting Factorio player
You saying like that's a high bar

>>713346670
Why not?

How do I lock in and actually beat factorio for once? I always get bored around when I start making plastics.

Anons, how's the tutorial in Factorio? Do i have to watch YouTube tutorials for it or ingame tutorial descent enough?

>>713344525 (OP)
If you cant afford it you should be working in a factory irl instead of building one virtually

>>713347074
in game tutorial is perfect. play it. it'll be several hours but it's really fun

>>713346998
Beating the base game isnt that long of an ordeal

>>713346753
Because they're elitist stuck up jerks

Every pricing argument around Factorio basically boils down to:
>but that's not what other companies do!

>>713347074
if youre smart you can figure everything out without a tutorial. your designs wont be perfect but thats the fun part

>>713344525 (OP)
That's normal for expansions.

>>713344525 (OP)
DLC should be on sale during the next steam summer sale

>>713346753
nta but satisfactory is fine but it's tedious coming from any of the top-down factory games.
you have to individually hook up every building to power and belts, the blueprint system is not even half-baked, more like quater-baked.
and the 3d means you can solve basically any logistical problem by spaghetti-ing belts through each other.
it's like checkers to chess.

>>713347232

sure be mad, but
>no new content to justify this
is wrong when there was basically new content weekly for 10 years.

>>713344525 (OP)
more content than base game

>>713347638
>>no new content to justify this
I disagree with Devs bumping up the price for updating base game . I get DLC not being free and costing money, but base game? nah

>>713347542
Why do turdworlders seethe so much over $5? Is that like a month in the mines

>>713347764
>but base game?
but increasing price for updating base game*

>>713347764
then dont buy it

If I had one wish, I would wish people realized that their power as a consumer comes not from bitching about things or discussing things, but simply choosing to give or not give someone their money.
For the last 14 years its been endless discussions of "oh wow I cant believe EA is charging me $50 for this dark vader character, omg how is blizzard charging me $500 for this barbarian armor, owie zowie I cant believe that I need to give nintendo $90 for a graphics patch for zelda on switch 2 how can this be happening?!?!". It happens because you give them money.

>>713347817
Not the point, the amount is irrelevant

>>713347950
I won't buy it and I will complain about it. Two for one special.

>>713347950
>but simply choosing to give or not give someone their money.
People are too entitled for that
BUT I NEED TO PLAY THIS GAME, IT IS MY RIGHT TO DO SO.
Any normal person that doesn't agree with the price simply wouldn't buy it and move onto something else that might interest them or illegally download it if they still want to play it.

>>713347950
I could link it to fear of Devs and etc bumping up the price to squeeze more money out of people. Especially this days. Also FOMO of "Buy it now while it's cheap" are iffy to me

>>713348082
post your last 5 purchases on steam

>>713348082
then youre a moron pissing into the wind. just as dumb as the whale shelling out $50 to be dark vader

The hate campaign by one anon on this game is bizarre. Just because he wants a game to be cheaper. This isn't the hill to die on, space age totally revamped the game. If you think past mods did it better that's fine, play those.

>>713344525 (OP)
Because the devs are hands rubbing greedy bastards. But hey they will keep telling how its made to "keep up with inflation" or whatever new excuses the retards come up with

>>713347542
>Paid $30 for a 40 hour experience
>Thinks it costs too much
Dude

>>713346382
>>713346216
Just pirate the DLC

>>713349650
Probably didn't even finish it.

>>713349725
Too much effort to bother installing updates from rinru website

>>713346670
Satisfactory is more fun than Factorio, Factorio is fully of tedious shit

>pay 30 bucks to make your game worse

The free demo contains the tutorial. Its enough to get the hang of things

>2.0.55
I'm surprised they actually have the latest version. Usually these are months out of date

>>713351198
?
they release updates within hours for any popular game

Space Age was worth it but also I'll probably never play the game again because of it.

>>713351261
When I last checked years ago, they pretty much ignored Factorio

>>713351198
whens the last time you used the site? it's been real quick about that for me

>>713349820

>>713346216
Yes, before the faggot dev raises the price again

>>713351552
Its $5. I spend that on french fries for one meal. How poor are you?

>>713351642
thirdies spend 40 hours on a game and then bitch about a 10 $ price increase lol

>>713351708
$10 is almost 50 armed robberies in the favela. Thats a hard days work for them

Another OP missing "did/does" in the opening question.

I bought the dlc, started up base GAME

Got close to launching another rocket then gave up kek. Money well spent

>>713352012
a 90% off sale

>>713346451
>>713346531
what about shapez 2?

It's a decent DLC but unfortunately making four new planets that each have one new science pack made them feel like a checklist instead of a place you actually want to spend a lot of time on after you automate it.
Maybe the DLC should have been one new planet that has as much to do as Nauvis does.

true thats crazy. they added 4 new planets + the space part. they should quintuple the cost if not more.

>>713352210
You can get it 100% off right here >>713349919

Why seethe so much?

>>713352460
My man

>>713351474
This has nothing to do with inflation. Dev charges what he wants to charge, which is fine.
He already made the game, so aside from a few patches there are no costs flowing into the product that would justify passing them on to the consumer.

I hope they do a reverse sale by taking money from everyone who didn't buy the game yet.

>>713352462
>why seethe about gas prices, just steal it lmao?

>>713353223
>few patches

>>713353526
>comparing real crimes to copyright infringement

>>713353223
>This has nothing to do with inflation
Inflation affects the cost of everything. If it weren't for the past 5 or so years of hyperinflation, everything would cost 33.9% less

>>713344525 (OP)
Because it has more content than the base game.

>play the game
>reach point where factory is choking hard, decide to start working on second factory
>start loosing interest
>delet save,
>start again
>reach the point where factory starts choking
I have done this circle 6 times allready
I have over 100 hours and I have never launched rocket outside of multiplayer with friends, but this was awfull in it own right

>>713353781
We didn't have hyperinflation, just inflation. It does not affect the cost of a finished product. The dev is just choosing the rise his prices because he wants to.

What's limits Demo has?

Because it has more content that the base game

>>713354546
>start working on second factory
you can always spaghetti more output

>>713354546
Anon trapped in the cycle of samsara, you will never escape.

guys do I go to vulcanis or gleba first

>>713353620
damn what a bug ridden mess

>>713354546
Why even restart. The map is so huge, you can just build next to your other stuff

>>713352137
>adds zero content
They went from early access to 1.0, I'm pretty sure spidertrons were released then

>>713357832
Vulcanus for easy mode. Gleba is a shitshow

The problem with SA isn't that it's 40 bucks.
It's that they didn't finish the fucking thing.
The rocket launching sucks. Gleba fucking sucks.
Aquillo fucking sucks. No refrigeration tech to keep shit fresh in your platforms between travel across planets. Aquillo's enemy was scrapped. The coolest looking enemy, too.

Fuck Wube. Bunch of assholes. A lot of people complained about the lack of a proper logistics network for launching rockets. There's STILL no circuit tutorial of value. They never bothered to help new players with learning the ropes. That's what's really gay about Factorio.
If you're poor just say so, fag.

>>713357870
Nice bate

>>713357832
Fulgora for the jetpack (to not care about walking around lava patches) and tesla turret (to tell gleba's bugs to fuck off forever)

>>713358214
Baby bitch crying about minor shit

>>713358214
Gleba is great I don't like how people shit talk her

>>713358214

Lol. No self-awareness, this one.

>>713346451

Mindustry is great
DSP and CoI are fine

Yeah the rest is not even worth mentioning

>>713355031
>It does not affect the cost of a finished product.
Sure it does. The same way that your socks shrinking affects whether you fit into them.

>>713358510
Gleba went under a drastic redesign at the last minute by the devs own admission. It still ended up being the best planet, maybe because they didn't have time to balance all the fun out of it.

>>713358510
DESU Gleba is kind of painful if you do it as the first planet. I feel like it should have swapped places with Aquilo.

>>713359619
Really now? Then why does every other old game cost less?
You're just wrong, anon. If flour becomes more expensive, bread will become more expensive. The bakery will pass this cost to the consumer.
A software written ten years ago does not become more expensive because eggs cost more today.
The dev is pricing his product higher for the same reason Apple is pricing their products higher: because they can. Inflation has nothing to do with this.

>>713360368
>The bakery will pass this cost to the consumer.
And the consumer will pay because the value of bread didn't change, the value of money did.

>>713352550
>cheevo is a red dwarf reference
nice

>>713346451
fortresscraft evolved was nice but required a very specific kind of autism to enjoy. the expansion was kind of bullshit to beat

>>713361054
everybody wants to make a minecraft like, nobody wants to make a factorio like

>>713361287
its definitely closer to a 3d factorio than minecraft except for the blocks and mining
