Ah yes.

A festival for autistic retards and nolife savants.
The quintessential genre for basement dwelling trogs.

lmao filtered

Why the FUCK is Factorio never on sale?

>>715497343
the dev doesn't want to, it has never been on sale

>>715497343
the dev is a giga kike

>>715497343
>>715497508
I distinctly remember paying 24.99 for it, so it must have been on sale at least once.

>>715497683
The joke is that wasnt a sale

Factorio was just cheaper back then until they hiked up the pricr

>>715497182 (OP)
Translation: European gamer fest. Germans really love their menial job simulators.

i feel sad because im too dumb to play these types of games, i got filtered at the fourth stage in Infinifactory iirc

>>715497587
to be fair the dev doesn't care if you pirate it

>>715497683
they upped the price after putting in the space age stuff.

>>715497182 (OP)
Autistic retard here, some anon recommend me the best autism sim here?

Is factorio really the gold standard of this genre? I've always wanted to into these games

Fantasy wizard Factorio looked neato but i'm simply too retarded to play these games.

>>715497587
he's not Jewish.

>>715498046
Yep.

>>715498215
What about zachtronics games? Best one to start with?

Why is OP so pissed off? I'm not joking, I don't get it.

>>715498046
pretty much. I know some people like Satisfactory a lot too, but I haven't played it

>>715498313
In terms of presentation and visuals you gotta go with Opus Magnum first.

>>715498313
I like Molek Syntez

>>715498330
Generic bait to get people to reply to the thread.

Many such cases.

>>715498046
Of course.
And once you finish with Factorio, you have modded Factorio FOR FREE.

>>715498313
Last Call BBS will give you the widest suite of what they're like but Opus Magnum is a nice mix of approachable and endlessly optimizable.

>>715498384
The real draw of Satisfactory over Factorio is the physicality of being inside your factory, and the ability to fuck about and explore as a complement to the automation loop. 3D takes essentially all the pressure off of optimizing for space but also allows for some really interesting factory layouts.

>>715497343
The dev knows what it's worth.

>>715498046
Factorio is one of the more extreme examples of the genre (short of some super obscure command promp simulator). Very good at what it does, but difficult to break into.

fuck the nds

>>715500014
indieslop is worth $10 at absolute BEST

i'm looking at (aka gonna pirate first)

>The real draw of Satisfactory over Factorio is the physicality of being inside your factory
that's what really puts satisfactory over the top for me; actually making your factories look like factories. its one layer of enjoyment to build the machines and get the math right for production, but its a whole other layer of enjoyment to build catwalks, bridges, etc. over your machines and then closing everything up in huge windowed industrial buildings with the correct signage and whatnot. it really scratches the creative itch in a fun way.

I keep buying these kinds of games but never finishing them.

>>715501128
I never go full factory but I enjoy that the options are there, and if nothing else I really like ladders and concrete pillars.

Unrelated, I played to the end of nuclear before but this is my first time in 1.0, and I'm still not sure if the QoL from being able to upload shit to the cloud is worth the complete absolution from any logistics regarding creation of a personal stockpile. You can have an iron vein on the ass-end of nowhere making all the rods and plates you'll ever need, and they'll just quietly go into the cloud instead of needing to be routed to the Hub one way or another.

>>715497683
The dev is a huge kike that increased the price because of inflation and released a DLC for the same price as new adjusted price of the full game. He also said he'll never put it on sale and he'll keep raising the price over time as he sees fit. People defend this behavior.

>>715497182 (OP)
This is more of a genuine zoomer thing. They love the whole
>menial tasks to unlock thing to do menial tasks to unlock another thing to do menial tasks to unlock another thing...
Style of gameplay that minecraft started.

>>715503293
Fuck off manleblob

>>715503293
Says the Anon well-known for playing skinnerbox loot treadmills.

It's retarded the summer sale only lasts 2 weeks.
Sales should be a month at least.

>>715503293
based zoomers are saving vidya you're saying?

>>715503293
Factory games are too hard for brainlet zooms.

Which is why thejr favorite games are friendslop shit instead with menial tasks for their zogbrains to handle.

>>715502865
Space Age is based though.

>>715507304
Doesn't change the fact that the dev is one of the greediest kikes on the internet and people enable and defend his behavior.

>>715499814
Opus Magnum is peak chill-tism. You start optimizing because you want to, not because the game demands perfection. Then suddenly you've sunk 4 hours into shaving off one cycle from your amber synthesis and you feel like a wizard. Last Call BBS gives you the sampler platter, but if you're gonna get hooked, it'll be on Opus.

>Which is why thejr favorite games are friendslop shit instead with menial tasks for their zogbrains to handle.
Me and my buddies play Satisfactory together.
One of us has been mostly making a Mario Kart course out it factory pieces, to race with the forklifts.
Another one of us has a fascination with making giant fucking conveyor lines to solve easy problems.

>>715509115
Every Satisfactory playgroup needs the conveyor belt autist. Keeps people on their toes.

>>715509163
Oh, yeah, it's great, make no mistake.
It's just. Y'know. Sometimes you get distracted from your project, have to go get some cable or encased beams or whatever, and come back, and every single output has been merged onto a conveyor taking it god knows where, and you have to put a bunch of smart splitters in to pull all the pipes back off, because fuck if you can make sense of the conveyor spider, and you needed those to make heavy frames or some shit.
We actually work really well together, though. I like going off in weird directions, setting up localized industrial bases to make stuff in-house, which typically leads to a lot of shit just feeding into box skyscrapers I stop caring about once my need is done, they scavenge off my waste and send it to people working on their own thing, that don't like setting up reinforced plates somewhere. We balance eachother's neuroticisms well.

>>715509474
The system I have is my buddy will make quick and dirty factories that function and push us towards a goal if inefficiently and clumsily, and I'll set up blueprints and plan out alternate recipes to refine the factory into something higher scale once the immediate need isn't as dire. It's somewhat less important to be efficient now that you can put shit into the cloud, though.

>>715502865
>People defend this behavior.
yeah they're autistic just like the dev lol

>>715506167
if you like spreadsheet simulators literally just get a job lmao
instead of just wasting hours doing this shit AND paying for it? insane behavior from autistic sa/v/ants

>>715509953
I like to oversee development
Nobody would trust me to oversee anything
Therefore:

>why the FUCK is crack cocaine never on sale?

>>715497587
Wrong. When games go on sale on Steam people buy up hundreds of keys then sell them once the sale ends. If a $30 game goes down to $10, once the sale has ended they sell the keys for $20. The dev didn't want to deal with that shit.

>>715497343
Stop being poor and just buy the game.

>>715497182 (OP)
I'm gonna pick up satisfactory i think. It looks like it achieved making this genre fun.

>retards are still mad about a decade old transparent pricing policy

Game has a demo, try it first if you are unsure that factorio is worth the money

>>715511134
It's quite good, just bear in mind that exploration is a key part of mechanical progress and a lot of potential recipes are locked behind finding crash sites in the environment and opening them by either bringing rare materials or supplying enough power. The hard drives can give basic shit like more iron ingots from iron ore if you use a midgame machine to include water or completely revamp how you make endgame materials.

>>715497343
I can get a discount on it right now (on the humble store lmao)

>>715497182 (OP)
Shouldve called it the Forever In Early Access Fest instead.
