How do you play this game if you have a job?
I've been avoiding to start up this game for a while, because it delayed some of my plans during summer, and almost set back some preperations I had to do for my job.
This game is dangerously addictive that I kind of regret purchasing it.
It took away about 100 hours of my vacation time already.

For those who have a job and a schedule, how do you manage your time to play this game?

set a goal and then accomplish it. such as setup green circuit production, or expand iron smelting. getting sidetracked usually happens, so set aside an hour that you can play so that if you get caught doing something, hopefully you dont run over.

other than that, its all about self control and willpower.

What else would you do with vacation time? Playing games would probably be at the top of my list.... (since I don't have the money to take a fancy holiday...)

It's about choice -- if there is something more pleasurable that you want to do -- do it!

Wife left. Lost job. House and car repossessed. Laptop still works so... I don't really see a problem.

I gave my children up to social services so that I could play.

A few hours at a time and less mucking around.

Beat the game and suddenly lose all interest.. like Terraria.. although with this game if you are a perfectionist I doubt launching a rocket will satisfy lol. I just launched my first one after 64 hours played in < 2 weeks.. I am taking a break before I have an aneurysm.

Set a Goal if You have problem, Make the goal achieveable within 15minutes..... then add 3h 45min as Side tracking, set alarm...... 1 hour before goal......and at when u must stop....

If you manage the goal within 15minutes, Then you really shouldn't play normal factorio but doing speed runs............

When I sleep, I dream of conveyer belt routes and buses. So even when I sleep I'm playing
