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.
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 4: Be nice
Think about how your words affect others before saying them.
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
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).
"Today I Learned" for features re-discovered.
"Looking for Group", something like Discord is more appropriate.
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.
