Factorio Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Why wont the demo for factorio appear for my friend? We tried searching for it, checking the games DLC's and extended stuff, on steam and we couldnt find it. Is there a reason for this? Like some obscure filter?

  Or just get it from the website since there is no multiplayer in the demo anyways so there is little reason to run it from steam. Source: 10 months ago

  Factorio just got an update with controller support yesterday. Source: 11 months ago

• New multiplayer character after account creation

  I made an account on factorio.com to download mods there and linked it. The issue was, that I was recognized as another character now, so I didn't get any achievements (you have to participate at least 50% of the time to get any). Source: 11 months ago

• PrePurchase Questions

  I think Steam works similarly, you can link your Steam account to the factorio.com website, and download from there instead. Source: 11 months ago

• where to buy game, and prices of factorio

  Of the legitimate ways to buy the game, buying it directly from https://factorio.com/ gives Wube the largest % of your money. If you buy it on Steam, Valve takes a cut. If you buy it through Wube you get the exact same game, DRM free, for all supported OSes. There's no steam workshop integration, the game has its own mod portal. Source: 12 months ago

• What is considered a belt merge? (technical-wise)

  I've previously read several posts, including one by a dev on the forums at factorio.com give instructions on how to remove offending belts and let the tick count "flip over" so that the game would continue as normal. They specifically stated it was a belt merge issue and resolving it would cause the tick count to "flip over" and start back at 0. At least 2 people had reported the instructions worked flawlessly...

• Seems like Steam and Factorio website were the only ones affected by the price change. GOG and Switch versions are still $30

  If you bought the game, you have access to factorio.com, right? As in, you can log in there? Then you should also be able to link steam, no? Source: over 1 year ago

• A small quality of life feature I'd love to see from the devs; please allow us to sort the mods list by enabled/disabled.

  Ahhh. I don't use the steam version since ....ages. Download the version directly from factorio.com. It will auto-update when started (can be disabled in options, there is also a toggle for stable/unstable), or you press About->Check for updates. Source: over 1 year ago

• After 9 hours i finished the tutorial in the demo (i can't buy the game) lmao, this game is good

  I don't think so, it only works on factorio.com. I think the switch version needs to be purchased through Nintendo. Source: over 1 year ago

• Optimizing the game in terms of performance

  In general, optimizing games for multicore is not easy, especially with competitive modes where all computation must not only be deterministic, but also run on all clients in lockstep. Developers of e.g. Factorio have literally spent years squeezing out every last ounce and trying real hard to let independent problems (e.g. Two disconnected runs of transport belts) get computed in separate threads. Once you get... Source: over 1 year ago

• Can't log out of Nintendo Switch edition

  Now I can't log out of my factorio.com account on the Switch so that my nephew can log in with his. There is a log out button in the Settings, but then when I try to log in again, it doesn't prompt again for a new username and password, it just auto logs me back in. WTF? Deleting the game and deleting the save data from the console make no difference. I emailed support yesterday morning and have been met with... Source: over 1 year ago
