The price of the game

[VEIDER]

how much will the game cost?

[Bamrak]

By the looks, I'm guessing in the 19.99 to 29.99 range?

[SGT_Hest]

$30? Hope not

[pat]

From what I've seen, there are too many annoyances to justify $30. $20? Maybe.

[Shataka]

19.99 AT MOST.

[Tech Enthusiast]

Judging from the content seen on YouTube, i would call it a 9.99 ish game... semi decent mobile port?
Honestly, the gameplay looks disgusting (for a finished game). Will they "release" into a paid alpha?

So many questions.

[Vaupell]

Cant be more than 20$ because they also named it wrong.
It's more like a "Factory logistics / Supply chain manager" than automation :p

I was thinking "Automation with one hand tied behind your back".

I may sound like a pretentious game dev but limitations make the game. If you could jet pack in your queen to the enemy king in chess it would not be a fun game.

While that is true, it is a wrong pick for this situation.
It looks more like the Queen not having a crown, no followers and with one broken leg.

The game seems to miss mandatory and basic things.
Watching Katherine of Sky play the game, I wanted to hit something. Seriously... she kept running into annoyances after annoyances. Missing features after missing features.

I know I'm just disappointed and trying to hold on to some hope. Hence my other topic asking about completion / development status.

No offense but KoS hasn't been on the ball lately in my opinion, not with new releases anyway. The meow is real. Instead watch Skye Storm do some magic with this game and I am sure you'll love this game in no time. I watched his videos and came immediately to throw money at this publisher, that's for sure.

[Tech Enthusiast]

Skye is who got me interested, but his way of playing is not exactly my style of playing. I am more like KoS in that I love to do the gameplay stuff. Automation etc. Skye is a fancy builder and amazing at it. He is easy to please gameplay wise. Only needs some pretty grafics and it is off to the races.

So for me,.. KoS is a better YouTuber when it comes to decide if a game will be fun for me. That may be different for others, no doubt. Just thinking that a game with Automation in the freaking NAME should be more about gameplay, which it clearly is not sadly. ;-)

The Youtubers that I see playing the game are still in the early stages and I'm seeing so many restrictions that simply make no sense. All labs have to be in one location? If there are some floating robots hanging around in a field, you can't build anything there? Nor move the robots?

[SGT_Hest]

Thats also my concern, it looks very restricted and unlogical in some ways, but I hope they can update after release when more people try it

while I agree mostly with that you must consider that Factorio has set what you think of as logical to some extent.
