Fun in Making a Game > Money.

First Priority: set yourself minimal steps, game development is extra hard business
Second Priority: Have fun
Third Priority: Don't build a system or a framework, build a game. Most games don't have to be maintained 20 years.
Fourth Priority : Money ...

I just hope they consider updating the game a la "No man's sky", "Dwarf Fortress" and "Terraria", or release paid dlcs with new content. I mean, if you can still make money out of this IP, why not?

Silly me, I was doing some testing in the map editor and forgot it comes with no researches.

wube make a factorio sequel please

I must be doing something wrong but I cannot get the assembler to accept a logistic chest recipe other than storage and passive chest.

I have never had a game corruption before, I have around 500 hrs in factorio, maybe it's too little? or is it a factorio+mods issue?
