It's gonna ruin my life....

[Leon]

I bought this game on Saturday, had about 6 hours sleep since then and I took a day off on Monday... I've only just automated red circuits and died to a big worm.... and I doubt I've even scratched the surface. I'm debating weather to restart with my new knowledge and experience but the thought of reaching the endgame again will ruin my social life.... Am I doomed?

You can still be saved if you get rid of all computers around you, otherwise welcome.

On the bright side, Cracktorio addiction is a good way to determine if your spouse truly loves you.

Welcome to the party.

You can respawn after a death & continue playing, even in single player.

Whether to restart or not is up to you, but I would suggest sticking with your current world unless you need to change the map gen settings. For example, move a hundred tiles in {pick a direction} and build a new factory, then demolish the old one.
This means you don't need to go through the very early game again & get to keep all your unlocked techs.

Welcome to the cult community.

ive played factorio on and off the past year or so. Just got sucked into the addiction yesterday. I doubt there is a way out

You might want to see if you can go to a meeting. I'd be willing to be your sponsor.

I got about 70 hours of playtime in one week it's been two weeks and I'm already up to 116 sleep 2 less hours = 2 more hours of factorio

You've only taken off 1 day, I wouldn't call it's problem yet

[Digitgidgit]

1000 hours on steam charts.. twice that before I registered the game here, leave now while you still can

[Mohag]

I averaged 56 hours a week the first 2 weeks I owned it in addition to my 40 hour per week job. Over 1000 hours in now. My wife is a Factorio widow.

Good thing the game has multiplayer/coop to provide an opportunity for couples therapy and a social life.

I gave in to the will of the Factory ages ago...The Factory Must Grow! ;o)

My Gf is playing My time at portia, I'm trying to tell her factorio is similar but she thinks factorio is for big nerds and so it's a game just for me.

Yup. Can't research irl productivity modules to get more in factorio done for minimal input.
