inventory management?
how much inventorymanagement is in this game?
i realy like strategygames like FTl,xcom ,ai war,....
but i hate all these survivalgames that require insanely much inventorymicromanagement

is here the focus more on strategy and tactic or on inventory management?

It is not something like a strategy game you mentioned. It is a builder game, where you build a factory.

To your question, there is no micromaneging the inventory. Sometimes it will be full and you have to put a box down to empty it.

But there is a free demo. Try it out and decide for yourself :).

If you play this game the way it's intended your inventory actually needs less and less managing, as your game goes on, because you automate everything.

By default, your inventory is auto-sorted/stacked based on item ID (as in wood usually shows up near the start of your inventory, advanced things like batteries near the end), but the game itself is hardly about inventory management. As people said, it is WAY more complex from factory organization/layout than anything else.

Try the demo.

Some context if you don't mind a few spoilers:

You will reach a point where you have many flying robots that will bring, or take away, whatever you request from your inventory. They will also build everything for you if you want. Once you start using blueprints, you can copy paste your designs and the robots will bring whatever is needed to build it all (provided you automated production of those items) and you will never have to worry about carrying those items. They will even disassemble placed items and remove tons of trees for you, lickitty-split.

This game makes me wonder why I've ever farmed anything by hand, over and over, in other games. I'd much rather automate things using your own design. :VolgarrChalice:

Yeah it kinda makes you think about that doesn't it....I mean all those wasted hours mining X resource in game Y, processing them to product Z, one at a time, in order to make an object only to discover here you dump it on a belt, head to you "dump box" and take out a laserturrent to harras your enemies more with....

*Le sigh Factorio; you made me lazy....
