Factorio. I love this game. Land on a planet all alone as the lone survivor, harvest raw materials, kill endless hordes of bugs and built a mega factory that pollutes the land to accomplish your one goal. To build a rocket and send it to outer space.

I work in green energy and this game is so cathartic for me. Sometimes you just wanna have fun burning an entire world down. You can do that too, they have flamethrowers and the trees are ignitable.

Came here with the intention of mentioning Factorio as well. What really makes it next level, though, is the modding community and support for it. IMO the vanilla endgame is pretty quick, you can actually burn through the game with very limited resources and using very little space -- and then you have modpacks like SeaBlock, which make complex machinery an absolute must, and make even basic stuff like power generation a proper challenge, to the point that a single playthrough will ultimately be at least a hundred hours.

What Wube have created with that game is nothing short of marvellous.

To be honest, I've never modded the game. I've always just played vanilla. When I beat the map I just up the difficulty. I'm doing a Deathworld Marathon and it's going... well let's call it okay...

Once I wrap this up I'll look into SeaBlock. That sounds like a lot of fun.

Ah, honestly, I wouldn't recommend starting with SeaBlock. Krastorio 2 is a better overhaul-ish mod to get into modded gameplay.

Best of luck with the Deathworld Marathon run, that sounds pretty damn difficult.

Thank you friend. I tried setting up my main bus but I started playing with my flamethrower and set a forest on fire. Then it got over ran and I had to retreat into my “hidey hole” until the pollution died down a bit. Thankfully I set up a base near a lot of cliffs so I was pretty well setup for this screw up.

I’ll check out Krastorio 2 when I’m ready. I always like getting these kind of recommendations directly from someone instead of looking it up for myself. At least with mods it hasn’t steered me wrong.
