The answer to your question is Factorio
They asked for a game, not a second job.
That said....play Factorio.
The first time I played it, it was like it did something to my brain. I'd boot up the game and then it would be like 9 hours later I'd snap out of a trance and when I closed my eyes all I saw were belts full of material. Fantastic game.
@Fulthi @YourHeroes4Ghosts @spaceace @Sarcasimo Do you need to buy it from a particular source to use the mods on the Factorio website?
It shouldn't matter if you get it from Steam or GoG. The Factorio Mod Portal is hosted by the dev and integrated into the game menu. You can also manually install mods. (Something you'd have to do on a server if you hosted your own Factorio server)
Not sure personally, but I bought on Steam and mods work perfectly fine on that. For Windows and Steam Deck both.
I don't know, I just bought it on steam but I never messed around with the mods. Sorry
The factory must grow!
I want to try this game so bad, but I can't justify 35$ for a game like this. I hope we see some discounts during the summer sale
If I remember correctly, it specifically never goes on sale.
Yup the devs have stated they won’t put in on sale. In fact they raised the price fairly recently to adjust for inflation.
The game is worth every cent. Try the demo - you’ll know if the game is your jam or not pretty quick. (Though the demo is very “on rails” while the main game is much more Freeform and open)
Don't wait for a sale on this game, the developers have specifically said it won't ever go on sale
It has a free demo if you want to check if it is something you'd like. I definitely sank a shitload of hours into it and finished a few audiobooks and podcast backlog on it.
Satisfactory is also good in this genre. 3D and more exploration aspect.
You might be very correct, I have not played it yet but have heard much about how great it is.
Probably want to play with enemies off though. I find with enemies on the constant possibility of attack makes it hard to focus on audio content, plus combat requires your attention when it happens.
