About Factorio

Factorio is a game about building a factory. You won't be mining by hand for long, with the industrial revolution just a science lab away. Play alone, or start a multiplayer game with friends. Defend your factory from the local inhabitants, mine ores, refine oil, and burn forests to the ground; all in the name of progress.

Upcoming Sales

Factorio has never in many years had a sale, is currently not on sale, and is not expected to ever be on sale.

kovarex: "Not having a sale ever is part of our philosophy."

Current prices: $35, 32€ (Other currencies)

There is a demo available if you are unsure about the game.

r/factorio Rules

Rule 1: All content must be related to Factorio

This is a subreddit for the game Factorio. If you want to post about other things, there are subreddits for that. Every post must be about Factorio or of content you have made that is directly inspired by Factorio (such as fan art).

Rule 2: All posts and comments must be in English

Rule 3: No political content

Rule 4: Be nice

Think about how your words affect others before saying them.

Rule 5: Take screenshots and explain them

Take a screenshot (or a video), not a picture/recording with your phone.

When posting a screenshot, add a comment explaining your image or pointing out what you want people to look at.

Tips for making your screenshot better: When taking screenshots of a design, turn on alt mode, inserter arrows, and well lit in daytime or with lamps. When posting a rail design, hold a signal in your hand. When asking for help, avoid cropping screenshots.

Rule 6: No memes, low effort posts, or image macros

Post these to r/Factoriohno instead.

Rule 7: Don't come here only to plug your content

Reddit is a place for discussion, not advertising. Here are some reddit-wide guidelines for self-promotion. Generally, be a part of the community you are posting in. People are likely to be more interested in your content that way.

If you're a video creator, you may only post your Let's Play or streams once per month. We feel this is a good balance to keep the subreddit from becoming just an advertising platform.

Rule 8: No topics voted out by the community

The following posts are too common and will be removed:

Pictures of where you are playing Factorio.
Pictures of IRL things that remind you of Factorio.
Minor graphical glitches.
Inescapable spawns.
Achievements / end screens (without more context).
"It's so addicting!" (without more context).
"Looking for Group", something like Discord is more appropriate.

Updated Feb 7 2023.

Rule 9: No advertising unofficial merch without prior permission

Words of wisdom by /u/talrich

Namaste. You seek balance. Here is my wisdom. Your mistakes have no cost but time, and the deconstruction planner even reduces that cost. Most games punish you for building, demolishing and rebuilding. Not Factorio. Let your anxiety wash away as you perceive that every belt placed can be moved. Every assembler is but a visitor to where it resides. The only significance is life, which leads to the further wisdom. Look both ways before you cross the tracks.
