Other games (somewhat) casually similar to Factorio; Valve please don't lock
it was recently hinted that another one of these come about, but lets relax the terms somewhat slightly.

im gonna kick it off with Sweet Transit (the topic of the suggestion). a former wube artist is the dev, so i'm gonna meet them halfway and see if its worth playing. its more of a city builder that the trains feed than a factory that trains feed, but close enough.

i played through most of the sweet transit tutorial and got to the rail signaling one, and it made me quit and come back to this. it basically presented you a small rail setup and had you signal it so that trains didn't deadlock. there were maybe 6 or 8 levels that got progressively harder and requiring a combo of regular and chain signals to clear the level and move on. i'm not gonna say it, but im just saying…

yeah, im liking it. its obviously different being a city builder/logistic sim. i would imagine it scratches alot of the same itches though. its probably not for everyone, and it doesn't seem like there is a story to spoil, so watching some videos might be a good idea.

as for the tutorial, i usually just jump in, but this seems like a pretty deep game and felt appropriate. either way, its a good tutorial and the rail signal one in particular is likely to put most on a good path forward.

i know they did a demo at some point, its a bit of a shame they don't any longer.

another obvious example is satisfactory, and given the recent UE 5 upgrade and dlss support making it a top suggestion (i've never played but i probably wont hold out forever).

If you arent scared of hurting your brain, anything Zachtronics is great.
i was gonna list this one earlier as probably the closest of his:

but his whole series of games are basically logistical/programming puzzles

It's about automation, sure, but pretty much the opposite of Factorio on many aspects. So a Factorio fan may not be interested at all or be real curious to try something different.

Main differences:

Items are long to craft. You won't be making 300k/hour of anything in this game.
The map is very finite.
No belts, but many other ways to move things automatically.
"Logistic robots" do exist, but you're limited to a small amount per island. In some situations, you have to rework things a bit because bots can get overwhelmed.
It has a story line, some NPC you'll encounter and buy things from, dialogues to read, your character has some skills that you'll gain by leveling up.
A first play through is probably 25-35 hours I guess, if you take it easy?
The story is fine but very linear. Combine that with the finite nature of the map and limited bots, it has a fairly low replay value. At the same time, I can say I was having fun for the first 25 hours, which is good for the price tag. Lots of achievements to hunt too if you like doing that.

Oh and there should be a good size update coming before 2023 ends. Some of the changes are based on players feedback, which is nice.

EDIT: update happened Dec 4th. In my opinion, after starting a new game, that update made the game strictly better. More content, more QoL features than before.

ok - i thought it had production chains with resources and live action transporting - sure small maps is a stretch away from Factorio - but if it has the production chains and resource transport then that ticks a few boxes lol

There is plenty of production chains to "feed the machine" and belts to dream about them at nights. ;)
Even "winning" the game is such "original" thing like sending rocket to space. :D
But anyway the game is nothing like factorio with its specific excavation for resources and catering population form sick and famine.
Of course for sure its a fine game for lots of Factorio playerbase but its play total differently.

Factorio spoiled us - made our expectation too high :-)

ive bought a fair few early access games, and so far i have only been burned by fully released games, although i guess i just jinxed that now
sorry to hear ... I've bought a few myself and faired well .... then again I don't buy them from the start .... I got into factorio only at 0.13.8 ... or was it 0.18.3?
anyhoo so yeah some time in I pull the trigger or not

^^^ I wait at least untill there is something playable so no kickstarters

i never played modded minecraft
I have to ask ... why are you doing this to yourself?

vanilla is great and all ... but yeah modded games are great in general and you are missing out

I mean it's peeps caring enough about a game spending their time for free expanding it

lol - i love mods too - i just never got around to it with MC

i tend to play games vanilla for a LONG time before i move onto mods - because i like to get the most out of them and know all the vanilla stuff before i change it

e.g. didn't try a single Factorio mod for years and maybe 1500+ hours

and i moved on from MC before i had gotten to the point of mods

but also......

MC mods are executable code

and that stuff is dangerous

i tend to only use mods that use something like lua and are executed by a mod engine inside the game

this does some very important things like lock mods away from the external file system (e.g. Factorio mods only know about a file system that is rooted to the game folder - and cannot escape from that sandbox and. for example, rewrite some config file for network access or change permissions etc - or even create an executable file of its own or write malicious code into an exe that will be run by the game or Steam etc)

so if i did/do use executable mods, i like to be able to see the source code and build them myself - so that i will not fall prey to malicious updates/mistakes etc

is paranoid, and does reduce my fun potential - but there is a grain of sense in there - and there are so many great games with safe modding systems that i am not going to cry about missing out on the others

and i can experience the joy that others get second hand when they tell me about how great the mods are :-)

you're not wrong but it's kinda fine if you make your own modpack instead of using one of the launchers

If you like Factorio, you should check out the GT New Horizons modpack for Minecraft. The processing chains get seriously crazy.

lolwut. I've been playing modded Minecraft for 8+ years with no problems. Dozens of modpacks.

At which generation of CPU/computer architecture is the game set? There have been one or two levels of architecture in CPU design, or for that matter, computational theory, during the short time I've been around.
