Factorio is a game in which you build and maintain factories. You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, apply management skills to keep it working and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.

This game is like crack. Generally I am cautious around early access titles, but in all honesty, they could abandon it now and it would have more content than plenty of full titles. Best £9 I've spent in a while  :lol:

I see a little Tux, so that is cool.  This definitely looks like something I would get sucked into.  I may try the demo out.  So awesome.

My buddy plays it, he is an Engineer in real life so it's the right game for him. Impressive what you can do in this game, I wonder why it is not that well known, not much tests and reviews so far.

The more I look into this the more I want it.  I see this consuming all my free time if I buy it.  I hate this feeling.  

I hope they keep making it bigger, because it would be disappointing to get to a point where it feels like there is no progress to be made, and the only thing to do is clean things up and get everything running better.  Are all of the enemies those insect looking things?

From their blog posts and stuff they seem to be actively trying to keep it quiet until it gets to a more finished state. The lead guy said he was going to attempt to contact NerdCubed mid 2015, when it was closer to version 1.0.0.

Yeah, they're the only enemies as of yet. Biters, which come in multiple sizes, and worms. They generally attack if you get too close or if the pollution you produce ends up over their base  :lol:  They can be a pretty nasty challenge if you're not prepared, too. Not sure if full enemy factions are planned, but I know multiplayer is, so there is that.

Also should mention there is already a few large mods for it, lots of modding support

My second game below, 6-7 hours in.

From that trailer video it looks excellent, bit hectic, I love the music on that too, is that the in game music or just overlay for the trailer?

I'll try this demo I think

edit: Just linked from the YT description to composers site and then this link about the music http://www.factorio.com/blog/post/fff-17

Was just for the trailer, but now in talks with him to perhaps make sound and music for the actual gameplay, hopefully will happen then
