Awesome! I don’t buy many games on day 1, but Factorio is the exception.

neidu2, (edited )

Same. I have a general rule that I don’t pre-order. I also tend to wait for reviews to come in. This is because I’ve been burned in the past. I made exceptions to this for CP2077 and KSP2, and we all know how those went.

So what used to be more like general guidelines for myself have now become strict rules.

But Factorio has earned an exception. They’ve proven time and time again that the game is a product of passion and not (primarily, at least) profits. This has been clearly visible since I first bought it during early access in 2016 or thereabouts.

So its expansion will be instabuy for me. The game has simply given me so many hours of entertainment that one could argue that if anything, at least I will now have paid full price for the game I already have (I don’t remember what I paid for Factorio, but it was dirt cheap).

It’s reasonably easy to guess exactly what you paid for the game, since the only change in price since launch was a $5 bump in January last year. It’s never been on sale.

neidu2,

By “launch”, you mean its release date, right? I paid for early access years before that.

awesome_lowlander,

It’s never been on sale, but the price HAS gone up multiple times since it was first launched in alpha.

Completely blanked on early access pricing, so yes, if you bought it before release then it was likely cheaper still.

Drigo,

I bought Factorio for 20$, and my friend bought it for 25$, And now it costs 35$.

So there have been different prices over the years

I assume both the $20 and $25 prices were during alpha/early access. Was thinking entirely of release pricing.

Drigo,

I don’t remember when Factorio was in early access. But I can see in my steam purchase history I bought it 1. Sep 2017

BlameThePeacock,

Yup, the factorio devs have earned the trust required.

awesome_lowlander,

There isn’t even any risk, considering the amount of detail they’ve covered in the dev blogs.

ReversalHatchery,

Yeah, they have proven that they don’t release garbage, in multiple separate ways. They are the among the best game devs ever

Can’t wait to unlock elevated rails so I can make even more convoluted railway hubs

I just happy I can finally make things like the Diverging Diamond interchange and the Cloverleaf interchange. Sure, you could do them before, but without elevated track such interchanges went from A+ to highly inefficient.

Setting the release schedule around vacations and holidays. Sounds like the devs have a respectable work / life balance.

endbringer93,

Well they are from Europe and probably have some actual protections in place.

Moneo,

Everything I’ve heard coming out of this studio is great.

Looks like nice additions, especially marking the map automatically now whenever you place a blueprint containing a sign

i love sharing direct updates from developers! small bit of feedback: in the future, maybe you could put “[Factorio]” in the post title to make it immediately obvious what the post is about from the timeline? In a Factorio-focused community this would be obvious, but it’s less obvious in this general gaming community.

That inserter issue has been annoying for so long.
