What players say
Players describe Factorio as the gold standard of factory automation, so addictive it can ruin sleep and work schedules. They praise its deep optimization loops and extensive mod support, but warn that the game triggers hyperfocus and time blindness. A minority disputes the lack of sales and the addition of DLC achievements to the base game.
