In Factorio, you build factories and automate production. You mine resources, process them in machines, and move materials using conveyor belts or trains. Your factory needs enough electricity, and you must defend it against attacks.
Research, Multiplayer, and Mods
Research gives you access to further technologies. You can work on a factory with other players or expand the game with mods. The base game is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Nintendo Switch.
