Ep. 11 | Factorio | Let's Survive + Thrive!
●● 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.
In the late game you have this monstrous factory full of smog belching machines, trains and flying robots. The goal of the game is to escape from the planet by building rocket defenses or something like that (work in progress lol). The development team is currently hard at work at adding core features such as multiplayer so you can build massive factories with your friends! If you'd like to try it out for yourself you can buy Factorio or try out the demo here: https://www.factorio.com/

► Mining, logistic and production systems
This is the core of the game. Mining drills digging the ground for minerals. Robotic arms moving material from one side to another. Lines of furnaces smelting the precious ores. Assembling Machines automatically building further products. And conveyor belts literally everywhere.
► Energy
So you have all these machines, but they don't run for free. You need to make enough electricity to power them up. Will you go for cheap steam, that makes tons of pollution or expensive but eco friendly solar?
► Research
You are clever and skilfull. But you don't know everything out of the box. Research the technologies to make your way up the tree to completely automated and self sufficient factories.
► Oil refining
There is more to the production than just minerals. This planet is rich in oil as well. And you will need it. Pump it from the dephts. Break it to fractions in Oil Refineries and put it to good use in Chemical plants.
► Trains
Belts are great for minerals. If the mineral fields are close. And not that big. Otherwise you better build good-old train tracks and scale your logistics to a new level.
► Logistic robots
The "third support" of the logistic system. You need advanced technology for this. But once you have it you have all these cool looking drones that move the stuff for you based on some general conditions you set up.
► Blueprints and building robots
Tired of manually building another mining site. Just use a blueprint. Define what should be built, provide the material and a bunch of building drones will build the whole thing for you.
► Signals
You want to have exactly 1006 circuits in your buffers? No problem, just make a signal that switches off the production line once you have reached the limit. This is advanced but powerful concept where you can really "program" your factory. It will be expanded even more in the near future.
► Pollution
You are not welcome on this planet. With all your smokey machines that generate plenty of waste and destroy the environment. If you make too much pollution you better prepare for the enraged natives to come after you.
