You would probably click quite a bit more with Factorio then.

Actually, I wonder if that is why Satisfactory wasn't clicking for me. Since I kept making stuff to feed into the big box.

I have wanted to play that one but can't catch it on sale. Satisfactory just felt like a game based on every peg going into the square hole.

Factorio never goes on sale, fwiw :/

Factorio will not go on sale and never has. The devs have always been committed to offering the game at a reasonable fixed price. They did increase the price in modest small increments during early access as they got closer to 1.0. After 1.0, the price has not changed.

The price is completely justified if you like factory automation games. You can easily get 40 to 100 hours from the game. But if you want to really dig into it you'll be in for >200 (none of it is a grind). If you decide to install mods you could easily bump thst playtime out to 1000+ (again, all of it is enjoyable if you like these games).

The price did increase after 1.0 in order to catch up with inflation (I think)

Yeah its not really about the price being unfair and more about me not being a drunken pirate on Steam all the time sorry

First hit is free (there's a demo available).
