So i really like factory games, my fav is satisfactory, but i wanted something more like surviving mars, the porblem is that this game has a ton of dlc wich i dont want. Im thinking in factorio but its a huge price rn. any ideias?

I would recomend Astro Colony.
It's in early access and there's demo for it, so you don't even need to pay for it to try.
It's different but still production driven.
I really like it, I tried it after watching this video https://youtu.be/U-u9hPjFYW0?si=aK_fTJIRQFN0rt9r :D

Ooo. I'll send Astro Colony. It is pretty good and still raw (in my opinion) I love that game since you GOTO resources and your base is essentially your ship.

No Factorio sale
We state it on our steam page, but people are still asking about it so I want to state it officially. We don't plan any Factorio sale. I'm aware, that the sale can make a lot of money in a short period of time, but I believe that it is not worth it in the long run, and since we are not in financial pressure we can afford to think in the long run. We don't like sales for the same reason we don't like the 9.99 prices. We want to be honest with our customers. When it costs 20, we don't want to make it feel like 10 and something. The same is with the sale, as you are basically saying, that someone who doesn't want to waste his time by searching for sales or special offers has to pay more.

And
On the website under will there be any sales.

No, We believe we are asking a fair price for our game

I’ll be dead and in the ground, before they do a sale.

I admit, I can't find the blog post where they explained that steady sales so far still justify their no sale policy, so they don't plan to change that yet.

On one hand, I agree with them. If you find an interesting game that costs like 40€ and it seems too much for you, you look on steamDB and see that it's regularly 50% off a few times per year, you probably won't buy it for full price and wait for the next sale. Which leads to the situation where most customers will only buy the game on sale and the devs are losing money.

On the other hand, it kind of annoys me too. I would love to play co-op with my son and I would love to play together with the expansion, but that would mean paying 105€ at once and that just seems too much. Here a reasonable discount of maybe 20% might help, because I just won't buy it for full price. However, it's their game, their marketing decision, so I respect that and will spent my money elsewhere.
