I enjoy games that make me think and create guides and gameplay videos covering them. I typically provide in-depth analytical commentary for strategy games that many viewers have found helpful. I answer viewer comments and welcome suggestions.

Factorio
Mining, logistic and production systems
This is the core of the game. Mining drills digging up the ground for ore. 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, which makes tons of pollution, or for the expensive but eco-friendly solar panels?

Research
You are clever and skillful, 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.

Circuit network
You want to have exactly 106 gears in your buffers? No problem, just make a circuit that switches off the production line once you have reached the limit. This is an advanced but powerful concept where you can really "program" your factory. With items such as programmable speakers, complex arithmetic processors, lamps and more. The sky is the limit with this Turing complete system.

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.

Defense
Defend your territory from the attacks of the enraged biters. Build walls and turrets to withstand wave and wave of angry critter.

Nuclear energy
Develop advanced technologies to extract and refine uranium into a cleaner and more dense energy source for your growing factory.

Reach the stars
The final goal of the game, can you prove your factories worth by researching, constructing, and launching a rocket into space?
