Is Factorio any good? How smart do I have to be to play it?
>>
>>731025142
midwit game, just use main bus, copy some of the ideas people had and you are ready to go
>>
if you actually want to get good, you've got to at least have graduated high school which a lot of retards on /v/ have not.
>>
>>731025142

You don't actually have to be smart to play Factorio. Just persistent

>>731025413
My favorite part is the refinery making lube that's getting pumped into the heat exchanger
>>
how smart? not much
solutions are quite easy, game guides you nicely towards more complicated tasks, ingame tutorial will explain most of mechanics easily, and even if you are terrible and bitters bite your base, you can just reduce or remove them in starting settings
however if you are not good at planing this game will make you feel like Sisyphus pushing boulder uphill, and your reward for finishing one design will be that next time hill gets taller
once you play it for a bit, learn shortcuts, otherwise you might go mad
>>731025250
dont listen to that retard, game is about solving logistical problems, looking up designs online is just robbing yourself out of game
>>
>>731028390
Name three ways in which it's better
>>
>>731025142
the dumber you are the more kino it is, spaghetti is just the soul enjoying itself
>>
>>731029473
People also say using bots for everything on Gleba is kino.
Lmao. That's like saying wearing diapers is chad behavior.
>>
>>731025413
I especially love the long inserter directly next to a chest
>>
>>731025142
A little bit because circuit networks and logistics networks intimidated me. I beat the game once pre space age and have been struggling ti get back into it. I need a primer or something
>>
>>731030385
>circuit networks and logistics networks
never learned them desu and also beaten pre-space age factorio
but many people can't wrap their head around train signals and you can't really beat the game without a functioning train network

There's a demo on steam, just play it and form your own opinion
>>
>>731030832
trains are pretty simple so long as you don't do bidirectional rails
>>
>>731031506
I know but many retards can't grasp them.
Also many quit Factorio when oil processing comes in (blue science), that's why they made it simpler
>>
it's not about being smart or retarded
the appeal is type 2 fun in a sandbox
>>
I always end up just playing it like an idle game. factory is producing 10 potions an hour? thats fine, ill just run the game for 10 hours

The game with space age is like a 200 hour marathon of a million things you need to do.
If factorio doesn't count as hard then you might as well call no game hard.

gleba
>>
Installed it 2 weeks ago and still havent played it. How do I get over being mentally challenged bros
>>
>>731031506
>>731031572
Yeah >>731030832 here and all I ever did was Iron Mine>Iron Dropoff
>>
>>731025142
im a retard that flunked out of community college and even i could brute force a victory.
>>
>>731025142
It's good and you don't have to be smart. Just be persistent. If circuits and networks confuse you don't worry about it, you can beat the game just fine without using them, though learning them a bit when you feel like it will help.
>>
>>731035517
That's not good enough for me. I want to grasp them, a least their simple uses until I can do better
>>
>>731035898
Their are excellent in game tutorials, and if you play with the systems a bit you will almost definitely figure them out if you finished high school. I was just letting you know there's not really any filter that would stop you from beating the game even if you're really dumb.
>>
>>731034910
Spending a lot of time doing something /=/ hard. Literally the whole game is just connecting x to y and then to z and then adding j and s and o and m
>>
>>731036168
There are like 5 tutorials that end at rails though?

>thinking a factorio victory equates to a 4 year college degree
