I saw Factorio mentioned over on Rock, Paper, Shotgun and wanted to share it with all of you, partly because the Factorio early access alpha and a demo are both available and partly because it looks so damned interesting.

Factorio is all about building and managing factories and production lines. Now, if you are like me, right away you are wondering how that could be fun. Well then, you need to have a look at the Factorio trailer video then. It is mind blowing how complex the production lines look. That is even before including the required infrastructure and the fact that you have to protect your factories from enemies. My head is still spinning from seeing all of the minute detail of the production lines in that video.

So, if you love base-building type games where you really have to plan out how your entire base fits and works together in one seamless “machine” then you really need to give the Factorio early access alpha a look, or at very least try the demo. There are several tiers available to purchase with different bonuses. Bear in mind the standard early access warnings apply, and you should read over the FAQ for more info before buying. Give it a look!
