Are There Any Games Which Have Infinite Map/World Like Factorio

[Althor]

Hello,

Title is clear. Just curious for compare - Builder games with unlimited map/worlds...

(From Voxel Tycoon)
Infinite World
Explore an unlimited, procedurally-generated world filled with unique biomes, from deserts to arctic tundra.

These titles also have infinite map as far as I know.

Regards,

I agree on Dyson Sphere Program. It's basically a Factorio copy, just in 3D and the combat only comes somewhen next year, so it's really fun, really big and it has a nice soundtrack and great graphics. Just the mediocre performance later on, the nonexisting mod support and no multiplayer (and the for now still missing combat) makes it a bit weaker than Factorio. But mods still exist anyways, including a multiplayer mod and unless you try to build too many Dyson Spheres it should still be very playable.

...and yeah, the map is not infinite, but more than big enough.

noted - but i doubt anyone has come close to filling even a fraction of that space with a factory

plus if they started in the middle that makes it about 6.5 hours from border to border to cross every tile of one row of the map

so just 13 million hours to cross all of them with that same train ;-)

good speed though - just under 310,000 tiles per hour :-)

Well one of the devs calculated that with an empty map with no biters, decorations, cliffs or ores the full map would take 30 terabytes of ram. I have seen a few servers with 128 terabytes of ram so sometime in the future there could be home computers with enough ram to explore the entire 2millionx2million tiles. But actually doing it would be quite impossible just because of the time it would take. So in short if you have a couple friends and you really want to build a railway to the edge it is very much doable. Even reaching a corner is possible if you have beefy computers. Exploring the entire map however is going to have to wait until humans discover immortality.

lol - indeed - i think we are on the same page with this one - or the same few million pages :-)

while the edges are reachable - the map is functionally infinite for anyone actually playing the game - just not for those playing a different game where the objective is to reach the edge of the map :-)

interesting to know that it would take 30TB for just an empty, ore-less, factory-less map

but definitely, once the processing power and memory is available to actually hold a full populated map - it would be interesting to see how long it would take an automated factory builder like Grey Goo to fill it

also - that 6.5 hours figure struck me as interesting - since it racks up to just over 24 hours to travel around the full border - and at 1000mph that'll take you around the equator - believable speed for a nuclear powered train in a sci fi game :-)

so if we take the equator as the distance of the border of the max map - that makes it a square 10,000 km along each side - which gives it a surface area of 100 million square kilometers

not bad compared to the Earth's 500 million

although actually i just checked, and one tile is meant to be 1 square meter - which make it "only" 4 million square km - so just the size of India then :-)

also at 6.5 hours to travel 2000km, that gives the train a very respectable 300kmh speed, just a shade under 200mph

simply put - it's a freaking enormous map size

and actually i just looked on the wiki to see how many seeds there can be - and it confirms that the map is 2000km squared (EDIT: ok that's not how you say 2000km along each side of the square, but that's what i meant lol) - as well as proving that i wasted a bunch of time repeating what has already been said and done many times before lol :-)

but i enjoyed it :-)

couldn't find the range of the seed though - but it is also interesting to note that each seed can then be customised by the settings

so probably several billion or more maps the size of India

nice :-)

if you're willing to go Nexusmods; DSP does have mods, mainly to get an even bigger galaxy though from what I've heard 256 systems is the max so far... though that would make between 768 and 1280 different planets... there's no way you're going to use all that space before your rig melts down.... on the plus side it does make it easier to find Tidally locked planets I guess....

how about Satisfactory?

Not infinite by a mile... I was easily able to build a factory that tapped all the nodes to max capacity and that's definitely the bottleneck for Satisfactory... you can only build a single mine on a node; if you want more resources than that you will need to do it by hand via the mining drones which is extremely tedious and defeats the whole purpose of having a big factory.

[Althor]

Yes agreed. I'm playing Satisfactory for a while, I love it but as Dragon said above, it's not a unbeatable world.

How about no? Not theoretically infinite, not even practically infinite.

That (lame) game has a hand built world.

"Satisfactory takes place on a single world (or "map"). The map is hand-crafted and features no procedural generation.[1] The World size is 47.1 km2 (or 7.972 km x 6.8 km)."

As the level increases, the shapes become more and more complex, and you have to spread out on the infinite map.

Explore a vast underground cave of endless resources.

- I don't know if the resources are being renewed again or is it an infinity in the sense of the map...

Sorry wrong game I don´t have the game either just guessing and cannot afford it, I suppose to type Surviving Mars, Sol0, ZeroK, Mindustry, Terraria, MineCraft, Planetbase. and etc. So many games with this similar concept of map gen. Infinite in my vocab is fun, infinite fun.

I should have said ones that I played before on Windows, different experience on Linux recently.

I personally like comparing games with the same concept, no matter the map is hand-crafted or not.

Crashlands is another game with an "infinite" map. the game is a bit simplistic though, but still fun. (it's apparently a relatively small "infinite" map at 64k x 64k tiles, taking around 3.5 hours to get to the edge.)
