About Factorio
You will be mining resources, researching technologies, building infrastructure, automating production and fighting enemies. Use your imagination to design your factory, combine simple elements into ingenious structures, apply management skills to keep it working and finally protect it from the creatures who don't really like you.
You crash land on an alien planet and must research a way to get yourself a rocket out of the planet. Defend yourself from the natives who dislike the pollution your production generates.
