Cheap factorio clone

[John Jacob Appleseed]

If you're gonna copy something at least make sure you include the good parts. In 2024, making video games isn’t that difficult, and developers should have the resources to create something worthwhile. Welp! Looks like I’ll just have to wait for the Factorio DLC to play a solid automation game.

hard to tell - i dont feed jesters to threads like these.
have some fun within the game, no need to follow this one here.

[Broseidon]

that's some low-effort bait.
or are you gonna complain every single 1st-person-shooter is a copy of the first?

Factorio wasn't even the original, it's the one the made the genre Popular, but it wasn't the 1st.

By OP’s logic, Factorio is a cheap clone of the original The Settlers from 1993.

So uh, is Factorio a game worth trying out? Maybe I'll try it after I reach the end of this one, if it's that good.

Factorio is fun.
think of a 2D version of Satisfactory mixed with tower defense and a bad day at the office.

I'm sure OP gave himself the only clown award he has in an attempt to prompt people to click it and give him more.

What do you mean, the end of this one? The end is the real start, before that's just a tutorial..

Factorio defined this genre. But its much more focused on automation and growing factory. Its almost like playing Excel compared to Satisfactory. Its in top 3 in genre (along with this game and DSP). It even has demo so you can try it out for free. If you like automation but want more combat, theres Riftbreaker or (free) Mindustry.

Nah, he probably called in friends to kickstart it. These ppl likes to be trolling in groups just like on reddit.

The devs early on stated, that both games could easily co-exist. :-)

You've established that this game is not for you, so you should move on. Don't be such a drama queen! ;-)

Goal achieved.
He got some awards and points.
So please lets close this thing.

Only one point I agree with you, cheaper than factorio, but definitely not a clone, it's a masterpiece in gameplay and developers
